• Visual C# How to format a single TextBox

  HI, Coming from a ‘ Oracle Developer ’ background and just entering C# developments I am kind of disappointed with C#. I mean you have to write tons of code to do anything. Also the number of web sites you have to go to and also the amount of on-line help you have to read in order to learn even a simple operation really frustrating. All I want to do is this.  I have a database table called EMPLOYEES and I have created a form for it .   The form works fine.     All I want to do is format the SALARY column to this format: 999,999,990.00 (I.E. if salary is 49749.55 then it should display 49,749.55).   ...Show All

• Visual Studio HowTo -- how to incorporate a Project SubType into the New Project classification

  Although the various docs for project subtypes stress that a subtype exists so you can leverage the support for existing project types (e.g. C#, VB), the SubType example in the SDK doesn't seem to do this. When I build and install the example, and subsequently attempt to create a new project with it, I see a distinct project type called "Task Project" at the same level of hierarchy as "Visual C#". Does anyone here know how the New Project classification has to be handled in order to get the result I'd like: if the SubType has two project types -- say, C# and VB, then it should appear once under the C# tr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't connect, 1 machine on novell, other machine w2k3 workgroup

  Hi, I have TFS Beta 3 Refresh installed on a workgroup install of W2k3. Everything works fine on that machine, but I connect attach to the TFS Server from my XP workstation on novell. I tried the 'run as' technique, but it seems like XP won't accept it. TIA, C Actually, i got it to work by adding the user to the TFS machines administrators group, and project admins and contributors group, and just about any other priv i could think of. This was obviously overkill, but since its a throw away install, I am not going to lose sleep over it. Also, as a no brainer, if you are creating a new account, be sure they login and chan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Licencing of Crystal Web Components

  Hi! Suppose an ASP.NET application that incorporates the Crystal Web Viewer components as packaged in VS.NET 2005. My question is if this can be deployed to a customer as part of the application royalty-free, or if a special licence is needed for that (by MS, Crystal). Thanks, Christian. Hello Christian, The licensing details are currently being finalized, but they should be very similar to the licensing for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003. http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/net/licensing.asp Keith - Business Objects ...Show All

• Visual C++ unable to edit command line for a project

  Trying to compile and execute a C++ project in VS2005 I ran into a linker problem. After some investigation it turned out that the calling convention was not what it was supposed to be for the functions used in the program. I changed the option for the calling convention from /Gd to /Gz. I needed __stdcall to be made. After that I got this error message: Error 1 Command line error D8016 : '/clr:pure' and '/Gz' command-line options are incompatible The command line now looks like this: /Od /I "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_MBCS" /FD /EHa /MDd /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Debug\Sock ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Undoing a changeset?

  How do you back out of a changeset   I was experimenting with branches and merging and I made on a change on a branch when I intended the change for the trunk version.  BTW, I can see this being a problem because the VS editor MDI tabs only give a filename (not directory) and so does the solution explorer.  It would be nice if there were some visual cue to indicate that a solution you have loaded is not the "primary" version you work with but a branch instead. Brian and Buck - Thanks for the feedback on the feedback :)   I hear ya on it being V1 - and we all know there ain't no V2 unl ...Show All

• .NET Development MDX + .NET Framework 2.0 + VCS Express Edition + Win XP x64

  Hi, For any CS code that uses managed D3D : everytime I try to compile an app. w/VCS Express Edition under the 64-bit edition of Win XP, the app. compiles ok but as soon as it is executed an exception message appears telling that the app. is not a real 32-bit native one. As far as I'm concerned, after installing .NET Framework 2.0 under a x64 OS, both versions -32 bits and 64 bits- are installed on the machine. So, it seems that, by default, compilation of the code a/o execution is hooked to the 64-bit assemblies of the Framework. Is there any workaround for this issue (if I use .NET Framework 1.1 instead with VS 2003 the app. com ...Show All

• .NET Development Asynchronous Error Handling...?

  Hello, In a book, I read something like this: "Output parameters and return values aren't the only elements unavailable at the time an asynchronous call is dispatched: exceptions are missing as well. After calling BeginInvoke( ) , control returns to the client, but it may be some time before the asynchronous method encounters an error and throws an exception, and it may be some time after that before the client actually calls EndInvoke( ) . .NET must therefore provide some way for the client to know that an exception was thrown and be allowed to handle it. The .NET solution is straightforward: when the asynchronous method thro ...Show All
