• Visual Studio UserControl in tool box goes blank

  Hi! I am trying to write a add-in that will display a new dockable tool window. I am writing this in C# and using the shim control as decribed in the sample 'ToolWindow'. My UserControl is very simple, just a button and a tree control. My problem is that when I create the tool window as decribed in the sample: objControl.HostUserControl(asm.Location, "ClassViewAddIn.CW_Control");   the control starts OK, and I can switch between docked tabs. Now I want the control to know about the current application object as it was sent to the addIn when it started. So I create a new contructor for my control that takes an argument and use anoth ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Disconnected modified files

  The biggest reasons we are not switching over from VSS to VSTFD have to do with working on files is disconnected mode, sluggish performance and multiple file comparisions.  Perhaps you can address some of our issues 1. If I am disconnected from the source control and I have modified project files or deleted project files (and probably added files) team foundation does not find these file changes.  Moveover, a "get latest version" believes that the deleted files still exist in the file system (it appears to be comparing against metadata instead of the actual file system).  I understand that there are some team foundation power ...Show All

• .NET Development Mht Email (Html Archive)

  It is possible (out of the box) to send Mht email now in .NET 2.0 I've taken a look at LinkedResource & AlternateView and I'm able to send out emails. However, there is no documentation on what is going on behind the scenes. Tell me exactly what you are trying to send and what the content type is. It should be fairly painless as you can send any content type of your choice. What exactly do you want to know that happens behind the scenes 1. You create an altenate view and set the content type to the content type of your choice 2. Set the content 3. When you send it we send the right content type header 4 ...Show All

  I have all the components specified (WSS w/SP2, SQL 2005 Standard) except that I have The Trial Ware version of Team Foundation Services. Is this a problem Just want to install the darn thing, test it, blow it away, and install the real thing if it works the way I hope. Thanks in advance!!!

• Visual C++ Problem deploying a VC++ application

  Hi all.. I have programmed a small application (a Win32 type application) that uses only Windows API and some CRT functions. That way, I thought it would have the fewest dependencies as possible, but I'm afraid I was wrong. First, I only copied the released EXE file to the target machine. When I ran it, a message was shown telling that it expects a CRT DLL, which is expectable since I use CRT functions. Well.. I copied the mentioned DLL but I received another stranger message: "The procedure entry point _encode_pointer could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80.DLL". Second, I created a setup project for my a ...Show All

• SQL Server 64 Bit OLE vs. 32 Bit OLE

  I have a SSIS package that works on Windows Server 2003 32 Bit with SQL Server 2005 32 Bit when I move it to a Windows Server 2003 64 Bit (AMD) with SQL Server 2005 64 Bit it fails with error 80040154 on the connection to an Access 2000 database. The solution maybe Jet 4.0 SP8 however I can not find SP8 for Windows Server 2003 64 Bit AMD (I can find Jet 4.0 SP8 for Windows Server 2003 32 Bit, Windows Server 2003 64 Bit Itanium however). I understand that Access is 32 Bit and the system I am replacing is running on this server using 32 Access (2000), the is also SP8 for Itanium 64 Bit so are you saying that the only 64 Bit OLE connection ...Show All

• .NET Development How to send a string from one program to another?

  Is there a way to send a (small) string from one program to another assuming that both programs are on the same PC    I have tried using a tcp client and server connection between the two programs.  This works, but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to do this. Thanks for any ideas, MisterT   Use System.Messaging namespace. One app creates a queue or both and use can send object to each queue. Just think in real world terms. The Message object under System.Messaging is a letter and the queue is the letter box. The Windows OS comes with Message Queuing which will deliver ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP will not start

  Hello there, Is anyone having problems with the Management Studio Express tool. I was able to installed it and use it for a couple of days without any problems but then one day it stop working. Now when I run the program it does not do anything. Not error messages in the event log. Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled. I am having a similar problem and suspect it could be because I am using Windows XP home edition. I am not sure if that is supported or not. I will attempt to reinstall both SQL Server 2005 and the Management Studio Express today and see what happens. ...Show All
