• Visual C++ Network deployment VS2005

  Hi, Does anyone know how to invoke VS2005 cl compiler from a machine that does not have VS2005 installed I've copied all the content of c:\Program Files\Microsift Visual Studio 8 from another machine with VS2005 installed, and set the include, lib, bin path correctly. But when I started a dos prompt and try to invoke cl.exe, I got ' The system cannot execute the specified program' . Interestingly, I found a file named 'cl.exe.config' in c:\Program Files\Microsift Visual Studio 8\VC\bin directory, I suspect it has something to do with invoking the cl compiler. The idea of this exercise is our source code is resided in a network ...Show All

• SQL Server Can a Snapshot report be created programmatically?

  Can I create a Snapshot report with parameters programmatically in RS 2000 or RS 2005 If this can be done what is the command for it Thanks. Yes.  The report has to be set to Snapshot Execution and has to have default values.  The SOAP method to call is UpdateSnapshot. If you want to create a history snapshot then you can call CreateReportHistorySnapshot. You can not set the parameters when calling these parameters.  If you want the parameters different then you must first set the report parameters then call one of the above methods.   -Daniel ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Framework, compiled or translated?

  Sorry but I have this basic question, is about plataform .NET Framework, I'd like to know if the final result is a machine compiled code compatible with .NET FW or is a .NET FW code to be translated in runtime as with Java . Too, I'd like to know about the same but with C# and Basic. We know that pure C++ code is optimized machine code, but how works C# or Basic about this . Thanks. Hi, The .NET compilers convert the code to MSIL - Microsoft Intermediate Language which is something similar to Java bytecodes. This is then converted to machine language by the JIT Compiler at runtime. Read more here . You can ...Show All

• Windows Forms "working" progress bar

  Hi, i need some advice. I have a form which is being filled up with data from a database. Whilst it does this, i want to display another form that i have created as a working/progress bar on the top to show that the program is still working. I know i cant call the working form from the main form, as that locks it up whilst the working form is open. I tried putting the working form in a seperate thread, however the result of this is that it no longer 'locks' the main form to the user, and also it doesnt stay on top of the main form, as the user can just click on the main form, and it comes infront of the working dialog. Any help would be appr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Version Control: How to Compare Directory vs Project?

  Hi everybody, How can I compare the contents of my workspace against a project in Source Control The command line tf diff myProjectDir /recursive /noprompt just outputs the pending changes source control already knows about, which is just what tf status provides. The Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio doesn't compare directories at all - even so it is described in the help files. But I want to know Which files are in my local directory but not in source control. Which files are in source control but not in my local directory. Which files are in both places but differ in content. To put it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Getting sharepoint back after Beta 3R migration

  OK, I've got Beta 3 Refresh up and running, but the sharepoint sites didn't take kindly to the database migration (apparently). When I try to open a project site, I get an error message: The virtual server that is referenced here is not in the config database. So, presumably something is amiss in the shareport configuration.  So far though, I'm having a hard time finding my way through the Sharepoint configuration site. So - Which virtual server is referenced here   Exactly which options in the WSS config screens would I use to find it/configure it In the WSS config screens, I see the following virtual servers: Default Web Site&nb ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Solution: SqlStatePersistenceService troubles

  Hi,  Adding a SqlPersistanceService to my workflow host causes the workfow to abort when it tries to persist.  Unfortunatly the WorkflowAbort events arguments don't realy tell me anything usefull. The database is SQl Server 2000 sp3a and the persistance setup scripts have been executed creating the required tables and sp's. Initialising the SqlPersistanceService instance with a valid connections string causes no errors (indicating the the connection is fine) . Remove the persistance service and everything works as expected.  Any ideas as to how I might resolve this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in ad ...Show All

• Visual C# How can enable or disable mainmenu's items on MainForm from childForm ?

  When I click an item on menu on MainForm I set it's enable property is false to open a childForm. When I close childForm I want to set menuItem on MainForm is true to can choose it again but I couldn't do that. Please tell me how can I do like that Thank you very much ! You won't be able to access the menu from the child form, because the menu on the main form is marked as private. You should change the 'modifiers' property of the menu to 'public' or 'internal'. That way you can access the menu from the mdiparent property of the childform (don't forget to cast the mdiparent property to the type of the mainform). Sven ...Show All

• Visual Basic Events in VB

  Hi I am relatively new to VB and I don't under the whole thing with Property and Event in VB. Traditionally the Fields, or Data Members are the properity of an class, but in VB it seems like Property almost works like an accessor/mutator method in Java. For example (please enlighten me on this one) private int value //Maybe retrieved or set by public int getValue() { return value; } or I can just make the integer value a public field. but in VB this seems to follow a different logic. I think I need a little subtle hints on that. Also in addition, there are also these event things and (as I'm trying to understand it) t ...Show All
