• .NET Development VS2005 and Preprocessor Definition

  Hello, I'm porting a web application from VS7.1 to 2005 but i have a crasy problem. My app will compile in 2 different products (different database queries) depending on a global #define specified in the project's conditional compilation option. But now with VS2005 I don't have a project, and I'm unable to set a global define. Any suggestion on how to fix it I can't set it page by page because pre project is very big and each time i need to check on or the other versions I'll need to change everithing. Since the site is compiled by the Asp.Net runtime, you add additional compiler options by modifying t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Publish - MSINET.OCX not being packaged with setup

  After building a program using a third party dll and MSINET.OCX, I've published the program.  When I run setup and run the program on another machine, it errors out where the INET control should be and - sure enough - the INET control is nowhere to be found.  I know there's a trick to sending dll's with the setup, but what about ocx's   Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF output not conducive to efficient use from scripting

  Our builds are heavily scripted.  TF seems to output extraneous information which causes us to have to do unnecessary string parsing.  For instance, in over SCM tools usually there is a very easy way to get just the items in a directory that are under version control.  But in TFVC, if the best I can do is this: tf dir C:\proj\somedir but then I get this output to deal with: -------------- $/Proj/somedir foo.cs bar.cs baz.cs 3 item(s) -------------- So I have to lop off one line from the beginning and 2 lines from the end.  And sometimes it is 3 lines from the end because of an occasional extr ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums For Future Contests

  If there are going to be future contests like this (and there should, as they rock!), please consider the following remarks/suggestions :) - Teams: Some people like to work in teams, and this usually gets quite nice results too. However, with the current prize set-up, it's rather difficult to work in teams because who gets the prize I suggest you either give out money (:P) or split it up in multiple prizes per app (have like something slightly bigger for the team leader, and 5 smaller items for the other members, take a look at counterstrike clan contests, I believe they have a system like that) - Examples: Have some example code or links fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is there a way to determine the color of a point?

  Well, the title pretty much outlines my querry. Is there a way to find the color of a given point, if the point is known I've written a code to randomly draw a "land mass" (a polygon that's flat on 3 sides and randomly "mountainous" on the upper side) for a simple game that I'm creating. I've filled in this polygon as green. When I made a very similar game in QBasic, there was a function for determining a pixel's color. I used it to "find" where the land was, when the trajectory of a shot hit it. This way, I knew that I had hit land when the pixel that was going to get the trajectory drawn ...Show All

I create a web page with a crystalreportviewer in it (version 11.0.3300.0 ) all my references in the project are the same. and then in my codefile I do this as per the documentation: enterpriseSession = sessionMgr.Logon( "Administrator" , "" , "WEBSERVER-01" , "secEnterprise" ); enterpriseService = enterpriseSession.GetService( "InfoStore" ); infoStore = ( InfoStore )ent ...Show All

• .NET Development SSL server throws WebException for a protocol violation.

  Hi, I'm currently working on connecting to an HTTP server on a local network to grab log files, push configurations, and modify access rights to the server. This product could be deployed to sites where said server has SSL enabled. As such, I am doing testing on a server with SSL enabled. I already have it set up to accept server certificates, but I'm having an issue when I try to get the response of the server. The code snippet is: System.

• SQL Server from Express to 2005? - How to?

  I have a database on SQL 2005 Express and i want to restore in SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 but it's not accepting it so how can i do it please any tool I assume you want to go from the RTM build of Express 9.00.1399 to the Beta build of SQL2K5. If that's the case you cannot do that. Some where between Beta 2 and RTM (I think it was around the March 2005 CTP) the format of the database changed. We supported moving forward but not going backward. I'm not aware of any tools that will allow you to go backward. ...Show All

• .NET Development TableAdapter DataTable schema refresh - how?

  Hi I am using the VS.NET wizard to generate TableAdapters with DataTables that I am using as a data access layer. I am getting into it and it is starting to work for me. However, I am scoping into the future and I realise that I will sit with a huge problem if I am not able to refresh the schema of these DataTables in the event that the column definitions change. In my current example, I have changed the length of the Password column of my user table from 20 to 50. My application kept bombing out because the value it was retrieving into the DataTable is now too large. In this case, I would want to instruct VS.NET to "refresh the s ...Show All
