• Visual Studio Express Editions Splash Screen Delay

  I'm following along in the "Build a Program NOW" tutorial and on page 100 it states that a code snippet is available to set the dealy of a splash screen. I can't find the snippet. More importantly I can't find anything on the msdn site telling how to accomplish this. This seems like an issue that would be VERY common. Why no help Can the screen be made to stay untill a condition is met - for example untill a sub has completed execution and returned a variable Thanks in advance for the help!

• Visual Studio Mailing or label list report

  Does anyone know how to print a column or columns of data from a datasource into multiple columns on the report Like a Mailing label report. I've figured it out. It's a combination of setting up the # of columns for the "Body" of the report and the size of those columns. There is one problem though with the report viewer control, when you view the report like this, the view is incorrect. It doesn't show the data broken down with the columns at all! If you view the report in Print Preview mode, or actually print out the report, it prints correctly. Just the view is incorrect. Perhaps I should subm ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Management Studio can't be found

  Sorry if someone already covered this, but I can't find anything about it. I just installed (3 hours ago actually) SQL2005 Standard Edition (from the Launch event) on my machine, and i don't seem to have a shortcut to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio anywhere. I looked for a likely executable, but couldn't find it anywhere.  This wouldn't bother me as much if I could use Enterprise Manager from 2K, but SQL2005 will not allow it to register. How do I get this going   There are people here that want to inspect it's features, etc.  I haven't got anything to show them.   By ...Show All

• .NET Development Text in XSLTransform

  I am transforming one xml file to another using XSLT file. I create XSLTranform and load the stylesheet before calling the transform function. It seems to work fine but there are a few problems with text. When the XML file that I am trying to transform includes special text such as "￡" sign the transformation will fail. I assume that I need to set some parameter to support w_char or unicode somewa, but I can't seem to fine the information needed. Can someone please help, or point me to where I can find more information on the matter. Thanks in advance! Most likely the "special" XML you are talking about is m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with Team Explorer focus / WorkItem creation

  When you have Team Explorer visible when you shut down the IDE with a Team Project selected it does not fully 'reselect' this project when the IDE restarts. Thus, it *looks like* the Project is selected but it really is not; therefore, it is impossible to get the active Project (needed to create WorkItems) or interact with it even though it looks like the Project is selected. Environment: TFS Beta 3 Refresh Single-server installation running Workgroup, not AD no credentials saved (meaning the default 'Log in' dialog shows up when you try to connect to the server each time) Steps to reproduce: Open IDE with Team Explorer enabled Ma ...Show All

• .NET Development security code groups and subgroups at the enterprise level

  I hope I'm asking this question in the right place. If not, please point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create a security template to distribute within my organization. The organization demands that I set the "All_Code" code group to the "Nothing" permission set, and then we will publish a new exception for each and every .Net application we distribute to our end users. Basically, this will mean that no .Net applications will run unless we provide explicit permissions for it to run. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to make it work. I have an example app I downloaded from a code example site (all it is is a button that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Drillthrough report with remote processing in web report viewer

  I've built a set of drill through reports using the Navigation tab.  I'm rendering the reports via the Reportviewer control in an ASP.NET app (RTM).  To accomlish this do I need to write code in the " Drillthrough" event to set the parameters of the drill through report and change the Report path for the reportviewer control   If so, how do I capture the value from the parent report in order to pass it to the drill through report Yes you just need to avoid setting the parameters on every postback.

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting a branch

  Is there only one way to delete a branch I created a branch I no-longer need so I was going to delete the folder in Source Code Explorer. Is this the best way to delete a branch Thanks for your help Graham In TFS a branch presented the same as any other file/folder. Feel free to delete it from SCE or the command line, it makes no difference. Of course, it's not a permanent deletion -- you can still undelete it, query its history with /slotmode, etc. like you can with ordinary deleted files/folders. We will support permanent deletion (Destroy) in a future version in order to save server disk cap ...Show All
