• Visual Studio How to abort a commandline build.

  I am trying to abort a commandline initiated build before it does any work. I have a OnBuildBegin handler that does some checking to see whether to actually build. None of my current approaches work reliably. Invoking Build.Cancel in the handler. As far as I can tell, commands are not availablewhen running in commandline mode. Is that correct, or am I missing something Using the HRESULT for the callback. As far as I can tell, that value is ignored. Hook into CommandEvents.BeforeExecute. I believe the same limitation will apply here as for invoking Build.Cancel. Commands seem to not be accessible (the build is not started via a command). ...Show All

  I've seen examples where dataset changes can be persisted in different ways. Any logical advantage of using one over the others Option1 (Not specific) --------------------------------- if(myDS.HasChanges){    tableAdapter.Update(myDS); } Option2  (specific to a table) --------------------------------------- if(myDS.HasChanges){    tableAdapter.Update(myDS.CustomerTable); } Option3 (making a copy of just the changes) ------------------------------------------------------------ if(myDS.HasChanges){   DataSet dataSetChanged = myDS.GetChanges(DataRowState.Modified);   if( !dataSetChanged.HasErrors  ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS.NET 200 Beta 2: BadImageFormatException

  Hi there, I get the BadImageFormatException on a function call in my code. How can this be, the msdn says that this exception is raised when loading invalid unmanaged code. But i am calling a member function from inside that same class. Im using C++.Net 2.0. When i step through the code the exception is raised on the moment the function is called. This is the call: String^ s = GetFileNrList(";"); All the function does is returning a ; seperated string of filenumbers. I tried reducing the code in the function to return nullptr but it didn't matter. Hope someone can point out what could be wrong. Thanks Ro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copy-modify-merge

  Hi, I'm new to Visual SourceSafe and have some questions about the copy-modify-merge work style. In this model what is the whole purpose of checking out as opposed to just getting the files Is it just to signal what files must be checked in later In that case why do you need to be connected to the database in order to perform a check out In particular when I try to check out a file in Visual Studio 2005 (with SourceSafe 2005) while I'm offline, the program warns me that the "real" check out will actually be performed only when I get back online. So what is this "real" check out about It also warns me that it may be poss ...Show All

• SQL Server Error using Datareader Destination

  Hi guys, I'm in dire straits here - really hoping someone can help me. I'm using a datareader destination and consuming it in a C# app. When I fire ExecuteReader on my DTSCommand object to return some data I get the error: "Could not obtain a datareader object from the specified data flow component" So we don't have a clue why this isn't working. Although...I'm intrigued by the line about "specified data-flow component". In the C# app you don't actually specify which data-flow component contains the data reader that you want (do you ) so how does it know where to find the datareader I'm speculating as to whether this is something to do ...Show All

• .NET Development Webservice not returning results when dealing with large data

  I have an interesting situation. I have a webservice function that I pass a DataSet, do some inserts, then return the results as a dataset.  This works fine 99% of the time. However, when I send a large dataset to this function strange things happen.  On my 'client' end nothing happens - I have a Console.WriteLine right after the webservice call and it NEVER executes (nor does it error out). ex: webserviceRef.sendData(someDataSet); Console.WriteLine("Done!"); <- never executes Now back on the server (webservice) end, the function executes perfectly.  I can tell because right before the 'return' statement I write out a text ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making a Database

  Hi i was wondering if there are any tutorials around on creating databases in vb6 and vb.net If you have Visual Studio 2005 Standard or above (Maybe even Express ) you can simple add a SQL Server 2005 DB to your project. You can do a lot of fundamental DB creation tasks in the Sever Explorer (ignor the Dataset Creation wizard until you finish creating the DB). VS has integrated functionality for creating tables and modifying columns and restraints and relations and my personal favorite: Creating Stored Procedures (and testing this stuff all out with the query editor). If you have Express you might still be able to do it but I can't pers ...Show All
