• Smart Device Development Adding a SQL Mobile Database to PPC project

  I'm using VS2005 Beta 2 to develop a PPC application.  When I try to add a new SQL Mobile Database to the project (by selecting Project | Add New Item | SQL Mobile Database), I receive the following error:  "An error occurred while processing the local data file: Unexpected error".  The database does appear in the project, but when I open it the local window shows what appears to be a memory dump.  BTW, I have SQL S ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLNCLI.DLL can't find MSVCR80.dll at runtime

  I have written a C++ DLL that links against the SQLNCLI.LIB, which uses the SQLNCLI.DLL. When the runtime DLL loader attempts to find MSVCR80.DLL which SQLNCLI.DLL depends on it cannot find it unless it is in your system path somewhere. I thought this behavior was depricated with the release of VS 2005 and the C Runtime 8.0 Isn't this supposed to be loaded via a manifest file from within SQLNCLI.DLL If not is the proper solution to copy MSVCR80. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement and MediaClock

  I'm trying to use a MediaElement to play a video, to which I'm connecting a Slider as a progressbar/scrubber. Video would work fine with the simple MediaElement controls, but now that I'm using a MediaClock, I can't seem to get any video. Here's what I have-- a file dialog is popped up and I want the MediaElement to be sourced to that chosen file. Worked fine when I used MediaElement.Source, but going through the MediaTimeline doesn't se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Random behaviour with ITaskItem[]

  I have a target that I pass an ItemGroup to. I then call a task that takes this ItemGroup as a parameter and a ITaskItem as another parameter. Sometimes, if I pass an ITaskItem[] to the ITaskItem parameter, MSBuild is clever enough to realise that I want the task called once for each item in the ItemGroup. Most of the time, however, I get this error: Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.I ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Form w/Internet Explorer

  Has something changed between .Net Framework 1.1 and 2.0 concerning the ability to use Windows forms in IE. In 1.1 I wrote a class library and then used it via the <OBJECT> tag in IE. I could access the public methods and properties of the DLL via javascript as well as using the <PARAM> tag. I wrote the same DLL in 2.0 and now I can only use the <PARAM> tag to access properties and methods, not javascript. For instance my class ...Show All
