• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataSet RemotingFormat

  The DataSet.RemotingFormat seems to have no affect on DataSet transfer time when large DataSets (or small ones,for that matter) are returned from Operations in WCF. I expected this with BasicHttpBinding, as I would expect the DataSet to be serialized as XML regardless of teh remoting format.  However, I did not expect this with NetTcpBinding.  Any insights into this would be most welcome. Thanks A dataset is always going to be serialized as XML. Using the BasicHttpBinding, it is text XML. Using the NetTcpBinding, it is binary XML. The RemotingFormat only applies when using .Net R ...Show All

• Visual C++ disable manifest stuff?

  is it possible to diable the manifest stuff so i can run my application on another computer with out .net. So just my exe and a bunch of dll's if they are needed. I've found some threads that discuss copying manifest files and renaming them and shit, but that really sucks, and doesnt even work for me. I cant manage to get a simple printf("hello"); working on another machine! so i've tried a release build using the default project from the project wizard and i et this error on machines that dont have vc2005: "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstall the application may fix the problem" ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to use Pointers to pass an matrix array?

  I used to pass a one-dimension array by using pointer,like the following code: int * entry(int *a){ for(int be = 0; be<7; b++){ cout<<"Input: "; do{cin>>a[be]; }while(foo) return a; }; So I can read from arrays with no problems. However, when trying to pass a two-dimension array( Ex: a[50][50] ) using the same trick, I got the error C2109 message: How to use pointers or any methods to pass a matrix array Better yet, able to pass arrays with several dimensions to other functions You can call this function by the following way: entry(&a[0][0]); ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems with MIME settings at the hosting provider

  Hi, My web hosting company is www.brinkster.com and I have asked them to enable MIME type for ".application". After a short period of time, the extension was not recognized anymore (404 Page not found) so I have asked them to reenable the settings. This is what I have received from their suport: ------------------------------- Hello, I am not sure what has happened now but I have just reset the MIME settings for the ".application" extension.  It is possible that this extension name is too long for our server to recognize it.  If problems occur in the future, would it be possible to shorten the extension name (for example to ".app ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Suppress Linked View Unique Record Popup

  Hi there im linking a view on an ms sql server to my access database using VBA using DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, etc.etc. How ever, I can NOT get the `Select Unique record Identifier` pop up to stop coming up when the link is being made. I dont care about needing a unique identifier, its a read only record source. The only way ive found is using sendkeys command to cancel the popup - however this can not be relied on, if it happens when the user doesn't have the access window in focus, it fails and the pop up appears. That pop up is way beyond many of my users to even press cancel and looks very unprofessional :) any ideas many than ...Show All

• Visual C++ BeginInvoke help!

  From what I read, BeginInvoke can be used to call functions that take a long time to execute by making them execute on a separate thread.  I wrote a little test program to try this and I cant get it to work.  Forgive me if I have got it completely wrong, i've only moved from 'C' to VC++.NET in the last few months. I have a button that when clicked should run a little delay routine (large_function in external_class) for a couple of seconds (using a loop and the stopwatch).  I expect to see the GUI responsive and show whats happening via the label, but i'm having a bit of trouble on gettining the BeginInvoke and EndInvoke parts ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio slow?

  Hi, I am testing SQL Server 2005 June CTP on 32-bit & 64-bit Intel servers and so far SQL Server Management Studio appears to be very slow and response times are very poor (compared to that SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager).  Are there others that have noticed this performance problem Thanks, PK I suggest upgrading to the RTM or even SP1 versions, the June CTP code is a year old at this point and there was a bunch of perf work done at the end of the release. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problems installing ActiveX Control.

  I have a app that uses a ActiveX control for viewing and dealing with images. After I had the control to a form and build the project the OCX file is added to my installation project. I found that I have to set the Register Property to vsdrfCom to make sure that it is registered on client machines during installation. My problem is that if I install the application on my deveolpment machine it registers to the OCX file and overwrites the installation of ActiveX control. This is causing my usage of the component to break in VS. If I uninstall my application and then run the installation of ActiveX control it will work fine again. The er ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Remote access to TFS

  When I connect remotely to my TFS server Documents and Reports folder is not accessible, and the right click option to ope Project Portal is grayed out. Has anyone else had this problem, and found a solution to it When I connect to TFS directly from the server everything works just fine. Installation is single server beta 3, no active directory. No, I think that covers the ports that influence this scenario.   There are a few others that are used for features like Team Build and the Version Control Proxy, but they would not cause project creation to fail.   You can find a complete list of ports used by TFS in the Visual Stud ...Show All

• .NET Development SQL SecurityException, but only when debugging remotely?

  Hi All, I'm having trouble remotely debugging a console application. The application will run on my server, but I am developing it on my desktop machine. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and C#. On both machines (server and desktop) I am logged in with my domain account that has administrator rights on both machines. When I run the executable on the server it connects to the SQL Server 2000 instance without problem and starts accessing data. However when I try to start the executable by remote debugging from my desktop machine I get to this line of code: unfetchedPhotosTableAdapter.Fill(photoDataSet.UnfetchedPhotos); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Wizard doesn't let me select certain projects.

  When adding a new unit test to my test project, the Unit Test Wizard jumps back to the "Add New Test" dialog when I select certain projects.  If I try to click either the '+' sign for the tree structure of the project or try to click on the project's CheckBox, the dialog returns to "Add New Test".  Is this because test units cannot be auto-generated for this project, and if so why do I not see some form of message dialog --Edit-- I also attempted to create a test unit directly from the class that is to be tested.  I received the error: "The source code cannot be sufficiently parsed for Code Generation.  Please ...Show All
