• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Excel since loading VS express

  I have a spreadsheet that I have been using for over a year that has a lot of coding behind it using VB. Since I loaded Visual Studio Express the spread sheet throws errors in funny places.

• Visual Basic Class Name and Method Name Combo boxes in Search and Replace Operations

  These Combo boxes don't show the name of the class and the method where the next search result is found automatically. To get this I must first click into the search results procedure.

• Visual C++ Trouble using registers from SSE2

  Hi. I want to implement software that should gain performance by storing, operating and reading values that are stored either in XMM registers or in the newly available additional (AMD64) GPR registers. I have to use Visual Studio 2005 which doesn't provide inline assembler any more so that I have to use intrinsics. With them I want to store values in a predefined manner to all XMM registers. Therefor I use 16 _m128i variables, hop ...Show All

• .NET Development Retrieve the value from two cells from a row in a dataGridView, C#2005Expr

  Anyone  who know how to retrieve the value from two cells when you click a row in a dataGridView so you can insert the values in two variables Observe! It doesn't seem to work in the way it did in earlier versions of VS.NET - I've tried but it didn't work (but from earlier experiences I know that's not a garanti tough). I know how to retrieve the value from the cell you click in, but since I have two key attributes in the table that's visu ...Show All

• SQL Server sysmaintplan_log_detail comment and question

  Greetings all I have a comment and query regarding sysmaintplan_log_detail. Firstly, the comment: SQL 2005 BOL calls this table sysmaintplan_log_detail (an _ between log and detail) and my version of SQL (9.00.1399.06) doesn't have that last underscore (i.e. it's called sysmaintplan_logdetail). Secondly, the question: how would I link this table into the calling task I would ultimately like to view from which maintenance plan it orig ...Show All

• .NET Development confused by generic methods

  Hi, in the code sample that follows how do i get from the MethodInfo object given the variable name 'method' in main (this method takes a string as its parameter) to the MethodInfo object that took the generic parameter in the class MyGeneric (i.e. the MethodINfo that originally described the method) I would guess by using MethodInfo.GetGenericMethodDefintion() but is says this isn't allowed due top the state of the object. I think ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System vsmdi relationship to TestCase/TestMethods

  I am trying to determine how an entry inside the vsmdi file relates to a test case method. Each test case item in a test list appears to have a unique Guid and the relative path to the assembly that the test case belongs in. However it does not list the test class that the test case belongs to. This information is visible when viewed from the test manager, but does to appear to be stored on the filesystem. Does anyone know how this relationship ...Show All
