• Smart Device Development Debugging without ActiveSync -unable to get Visual Studio 2005 to cooperate

  Hi all, I've been trying to debug a Windows CE 5.0 based device with VS 2005. Since this device doesn't have a full serial port or USB client port available, I've turned to debugging without ActiveSync (I did try merging in some AS partnership information from another device into the registry, but haven't quite gotten AS to connect.) I've used the instructions pointed to elsewhere, e.g. http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdteam/archive/2005/04/28/413304.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228708.aspx However, there appears to be no manual startup server option -- VS 2005 seems to insist that ActiveSync be used as the S ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying and late bound data providers

  Hi Normally in the projects I work on we use a strict provider based architecture for accessing data. Obviously this is done to avoid having any nasty database or XML or something else dependancies in the logic of the program. The problem on the other hand is that querying such data stores must also be part of the provider meaning that all possible ways of querying data must be covered by the provider which obviously isn't feasible. Now I was hoping that LINQ could solve this problem, but I order to do that (at least in the way I currently hoping) I need to know if you can do something like the following. Assume we have an abstract class ...Show All

• Visual Basic TreeView web control

    I have looked everywhere I can think of for the means to control the height of the menu items, root,parent and leaf nodes, in this control. Also. The NodeIndent property only affects the root node and the parent nodes - I can't find a way to control the indent on the leaf nodes.  What am I missing   It worked somewhat - the tree renders fine as long as you don't try to define a specific graphic for leaf nodes.  I used a small bullet (gif) file and sure enough it adds a whole lot of indentation to the leaf nodes. the Root and second level nodes are fine (also with a custom gra ...Show All

• Smart Device Development this forum incompatible with IE on WM5

  It's a bit off-topic, but I tried to reply to forum posts from my WM5 device (HTC Universal). The text box for the post body does not render, so posting or replying is impossible.

• Visual Basic Try...Catch statement Question

  I have a Try...Catch statement that contains 12 Operations inside it. On the catch I want to display a msgbox that tells exactly which operations failed. I was looking through the exception methods and couldn't find one that worked. All of the methods provided relative information but nothing specific. The reason I want to pinpoint exactly which operations failed is so that the user can email the error message to me and when I get it I will know exactly how to fix it. Thanks. Hey Troy. . .

• .NET Development Updating a tableadapter.

  In VS2005, when using the update method of the table adapter using a stored procedure, I can use the SourceColumn property of the parameters collection to map the TableAdapter columns to the parameters in the stored procedure. However, I would like to be able to explicitly specify the values of one of the sprocs parameters i.e. not take it from a column. MSDN suggests that there is a value property that I can assign, but I can find it. Thanks, David McKinney. Hi! TableAdapter have UpdateCommand, DeleteCommand, etc. Each command can use Parameters collection. You need to add parameter there. ...Show All

• SQL Server Fast loading relational data

  I am searching for a way to fast load relation data. I know how to load data fast but how can i store relation data fast. For example : Table1 ( tabel1Id int identity , name varchar(255) ) Table2 ( tabel2Id int identity , table2Id , name varchar(255)) When i insert 50 records into Table1 i can't get the 50 identity fields back, to insert the related data into Table2. I think one of the solutions could be returning a selection of Table1 joined with syslockinfo, but i have no idea how to do it.

• Visual Studio Team System Windows Groups - TFS does not see new users until restart

  If using Windows groups, it appears that there is a bug in VSTS. TFS seems to query the Windows Security system once for a list of users belonging to each group. When you add a new user to the Windows Group, TFS doesn’t get the update – i.e. it’s out of date. The result is that you won’t be authenticated if you added yourself tp a Windows group after TFS has queried the Windows security system. To reproduce : Using a TFS Admin account, perform the following: Create a local Windows Security Group named ProjectAdmins To this group, add a user account e.g. User01 In TFS, under Project Settings, Group Membership, ...Show All
