• Smart Device Development Missing assembly information in converted project

  This is a rather weird 'bug'. We upgraded a VS2003 Pocket PC project to VS2005. The conversion process didn't change AssemblyInfo.cs and when we go into the new Assembly Information screen in the project properties we see the settings as we set it. When we change it in that property screen, it does change in AssemblyInfo and vice versa. But when we build the project and have a look at the properties of the executable there is no version info at all. Within the same solution we have a normal desktop application and a pocket pc class library project. Both those projects were converted as well, but on the executable and DLL it builds ther ...Show All

  How do you configure a web developer express project for Nunit integration I let WDE import my VS.Net 2003 code, figuring that I would continue to be able to use the TDD methodolgies, but it doesn't work.

• Visual Studio How to override QueryStatus ()

  Hi All, I am using C# to write a VS Package with SDK 2005. I need to override the function Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IOleCommandTarget.QueryStatus (). The Package class implements the interface IOleCommandTarget but does not have QueryStatus() as virtual. Would anyone know if there is an alternate way to achieve what QueryStatus() function does The IDE calls this method and gives the package a chance to disable/enable any UI components. Thanks Hi Surya, You can find the QueryStatus(...) method in teh ProjectNode class. Just inherit this class and override the QueryStatus. Regards Kajal ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating a dummy dimension level for storing calculated members

  [SQL Server 2000 question] I have a dimension that has one hierarchical (grouping) level (call it "Group 1") and a leaf level.  I want to create a member in the grouping level that will only be used to store calculated members.  The obvious way I found to do this was to create a dummy record in the underlying table with both the group 1 attribute and the leaf attribute having the same value.  I could then hide the dummy member at the leaf level by setting the "Hide member if" property of the leaf level within the dimension to "Parent's Name".  I could then create calculated members and set thei ...Show All

• Windows Forms Text does not appear on form load

  Here is the problem. Certain controls don't display text. I will create a form in the IDE that has group boxes and combo boxes on it. The combo boxes only display text on the top line or the line that I select. When I click the dropdown, nothing else is displayed. As for the group boxes, the header displays, but any labels inside the text box don't display any text. They show up in the IDE, but not at runtime. I have a screen shot showing the IDE and the form at runtime at www.kennesaw.edu/~jfw1701/text.bmp . There may be a delay as it is a fairly large picture. Thanks Joe W Sorry, it shou ...Show All

Can someone tell me if this is normal How can I compile a large sub rutine Thanks That's interesting, how many lines are in it Your solution is to break it up into managable subroutines: it sounds like a complete nightmare to debug/maintain. As a general rule of thumb, a subroutine/function should be no more than a single viewable page. ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO.net DataAccess time SLOW

  Unless I am doing something very wrong, it seems that the ADO.net dataaccess time,IE retrieving a record is extremly slow compared to Classic ADO. Now it takes between 1 and 2 seconds to retrieve the data from the Remote database (Access). Because of needing update data when I select a serial number, I presume and currently use direct access to the remote database. I load a combobox with all my serial Numbers, Currently 15,000 . Then when I click on a SN, the program does a query on the ADO.net dataadapter, retrieves the current record. this take almost 2 seconds. Classic was almost instantly. Am I doing something wrong.
