• Visual Studio Express Editions Express install lockup

  Hello! I've downloaded the visual c++ express installer only to find that it locks up during its "Setup is loading installation components, this will take a minute or two" part.

• Visual C++ MFC Message Routing to active view from a dialog box

  Hey everyone, I an working on a MDI MFC application (although the multiple documents aren't currently being used, just the multiple views). The program uses a modeless dialog box to take user input. The dialog box has an edit box that lets a user type in a command and an enter button for the user to enter the command in the edit box. The program makes use of multiple views through the "new window" item in the window menu. In my dialog box's OnEnterButton function (which is called when the user hits the enter button) I call a function that I named "SendMessageToViews" to inform the views that there is a com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Runtime context different when running through TestMgr and running as an application?

  I am running VS.NET2005 (Version 8.0.50727.42) and are having some problems with a complex test I have that uses a 3rd party assembly. The code is to complex to produce a simple example to show here, but what happens is that when I run the testmethod from a new projects Main method it runs fine, but when I run the same testmethod as a test through TestManager it will fail (assert on an object of the 3rd party assembly that is empty which it should not be). Sometimes VS.NET will crash as well That makes me think that the tests must be run under some other context that is different than running from a Main I pondered if it had something ...Show All

• SQL Server Results to File

  Hi, I am using SQL 2K5 Enterprise and whenever I run a query and have the results spit out to a file the query takes a long time. Running a complex query and showing the results to grid takes 3 mins; having that same query run with results to file takes like 2hrs 45 mins. Anything special that is being done for the results to spit to a file Thanks When results are shown in the grid, the grid shows the first few rows that are returned as soon as possible while the rest of the results are spooled to disk in the background. This can make the query look deceptively small or fast. When results are se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Application deployment

  Hi There, I am working on a Direct3D application with C# 2005 Beta. It runs fine within and outside the 2005 IDE on my computer, but It won't run on somebody else's comp. (I can deploy non-directX applications though) The other person has the same version of DirectX (9.0c), and the .Net framework (2.0 Beta) as I do. On the other computer, the program crashes right away and it says " myProg has encountered an error and needs to close... " Is it enough to just copy and launch the "myprog.exe" file Do i need to forward the 3 DirectX DLL files that my program references. If so, is it OK to just copy them next to the exe file, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with Debug and FxCop

  Hi All, Sometimes when I starts the debug process, it do not stops in my breakpoints. I do the same thing with all my rules, but sometimes all my breakpoints do not work in all my rules....

• .NET Development How to get the list of available satellite assemblies for the main assembly?

  I found just Assembly.GetSatelliteAssembly() which returns just one satellite assembly. I want to retrieve to list of all for users to select their appropriate languages.Please suggest!!! Thank you!!! Not really sure how u mean this.  But i'll take a shot: To call Assembly.GetSatelliteAssembly() u need to give it parameters.

• SQL Server Modern_Spanish Vs Latin1_General

  Could anyone tell me what's the difference between a Latin1_General CI AS and a Modern_Spanish CI AS collation I know both use the 1252 character set and thus it confuses me about what could be the difference between them. Thanks a lot ! Best regards, Alan I'm afraid I don't. Some of the rules are fairly obscure, also, such as when two-character combinations are considered a single letter (Hungarian Sz, for example).

• Windows Forms Application Updater Question

  I am using VS2003 and 2003 server. I am using the sample and tutorial found at this website I'm sure you're familiar with it: http://www.windowsforms.net/articles/appupdater.aspx When I run the client application I get an error from the remote server 501 (not implemented) However when I check the 1.0.0.0 folder in the client folder I see that it grabbed the UpdateVersion.xml document from the server. I don't understand this, and don't understand why it doesn't work in general. If anyone has any ideas or knows the correct forum in which to post please leave me some feedback.

• Visual Studio Team System How do Tracks and Iterations relate to one another?

  I've been doing some in-depth research on MSF for a book I'm co-authoring on Project Management using Visual Studio Team System. To that end I have a number of questions about MSFv4. I'll post them to this forum, a few at a time, in the hopes of getting answers from both the MSF product team as well as practitioners in the community. This is my first question. The process guidance for both MSF Agile and MSF CMMI contains a page named Iterations.htm that describes an interative process model cosisting of a start-up iteration, a variable number of development iterations, and a final release iteration. Each development iteration contains ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Availability of 3rd party templates for "Requirements"?

  Are there any 3rd party Process templates (for Import into TFS) that address the area of project Requirements tracking (Commercially available or in-development). Surprisingly, this key area is not represented at all in the MSF Agile process.

  I see those asmx files on the reportserver virtual folder and 2 of them have the render method, which are the difference between them when should I use one or another ReportService.asmx -- The "old" endpoint for 2000. It combines both management and execution functions. In SQL Server 2005, we split the endpoints into a distinct "management" endpoint and "execution" endpoint. These are: ReportExecution2005.asmx -- Used for execution of reports. ReportService2005.asmx -- Used for managing the SSRS catalog. As to your question of "which I should use."
