• Windows Forms TextBox, decimal field and null values

  Hi all, As the username suggests, am new to all this- so appologies for what seems to be a silly question... Working on a small application on VS 2005, I've noticed that when binding a textbox to a table ('price') column of decimal value that accepts null values, whenever I erase the contents of the textbox, it gets 'locked' till I fill it back with a numerical value. In the "price" column's properties in the TableDataSet.xsd I've changed the dataType to string and changed NullValue to (empty), which ends with an FormatException thrown since the attempt to convert an empty string (Nothing or "") to decima ...Show All

• Windows Forms Exceptions seem disappear during the runtime of the application

  Hi, I've had two cases in which exceptions were thrown but instead of the error message which usually comes up (that also shows the stack trace), nothing happened.  In one case the exception was thrown in a thead (which was not the intial thead) in a windows forms application In the other case the exception was thrown in an office shared add-in.

• Visual Basic Help on Update String

  MyCommand.CommandText = "UPDATE PATIENTS SET LastName='" & tboxLastName.Text & "',FirstName='" & tboxFirstName.Text & " ' WHERE PatientID= '" & Val(tboxPatientID.Text) & "'" the application throws in another exception saying "No value given for one or more required parameter" and the debugger was displaying WHERE PatientID = '1", instead of '1' so I think its in the WHERE statement, I had tried different combination of quotes but to no avail.... You're not specifying any quotes at all. What does Val do It's completely superfluous here. If the ID is a number ( and it should be ), ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop vs PREfast Rules

  If you click on your C/C++ project properties and select Code Analysis, you can configure a number of rules including: Design Rules, Globalization Rules, Interoperability Rules, Maintainability Rules, Naming Rules, Performance Rules, Reliability Rules, Security Rules and Usage Rules. Some of the rules, such as CA1050: Declare types in namespace, specifically target FxCop. They seem to correspond to the .dlls found in this directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop\Rules\ Can someone please confirm whether the Rule configuration settings (Project Properties > Code Analysis > Rules) onl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Small textbox, read file error

  Hello I'm testing a code verification (people entere a code and then the code gets written to a file and read by the program to change labels and acces to certain parts of the program). This is the code I used: Dim var1 As String TextBox1.Text = var1 My .Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText( "c:\test.txt" , var1, True ) Dim filereader As String filereader = My .Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText( "c:\test.txt" ) If (filereader) = ( "12345" ) Then TextBox1.Text = "testuser1" But when I press the button that makes this run, the file is created, the text but the text (var1) is not written.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem getting Makefiles to run

  Hi, Can anyone point me to a tutorial for importing a makefile into VC++ 2005 Express I want to compile some samples in the Platform SDK (there don't seem to be compiled versions available anymore).  There are no .sln,.dsw, .prj files in the folders, just files called "makefile"... Thanks, Philip nmake 8.00 and some other useful tools are included in the VC++ 2005 Express VC/bin folder (where the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" puts you). I suggest watching the video on "Editing and Compiling Existing C++ Files in VC++ Express" near the bottom of the page at http:// ...Show All

• Visual Studio Licensing & pricing

  I thought I should start a thread on licensing and pricing where we can give some feedback to MS on the type of scenarios we intend to implement and how various licensing & pricing schemes would interact with that. As I see it there are two separate questions here: 1) What license is required to author a DSL 2) What license is required to use a DSL For 1) I guess the main question is which edition of Visual Studio will be required, and whether one will need to join the VSIP program in order to author and distribute a DSL widely. For 2) a lot more questions come to mind: a) Which version of Visual Studio will be able to host a DSL b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need help with reconnecting sharepoint databases for TFS!

  Hi! I'm currently trying to upgrade my TFS server from BETA3 to the Refresh version, but it dosen't work that well :( My problem is that I uninstalled all old TFS related things (SQL Server, TFS, Sharepoint) to reinstall it together with the new TFS. And when I tries to reinstall everything and reconnect all dependent databases I'm not able to connect to the sharepoint part of TFS! I have reconnected the database before I installed TFS, but when TFS creates it's sharepoint database, it creates a new one instead of the one I added to the database (which works correctly inside the SQL manager).. Does anyone have any ideas how to re ...Show All

This app is a WebService which uses XSL transformations and it uses the library System.Xml.Xsl to do them. when the app is in a production server, the RAM memory begins to grow and it does not get freed properly, so the IIS application pool has to be reseted each 12 hours aprox. in these transformations, i use a code snippet msxsl, which contains code snippets in vb .net language, so the vb compiler is launched in execution time.

• Windows Forms ClickOnce file extension registration

  In the ClickOnce FAQ at http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx PageID=2&ItemID=17&CategoryID=24&tabindex=2 it says: "Some low impact tasks such as file type registration can be achieved with first time app-startup logic in your application" How can I register a file name extension which will invoke my ClickOnce deployed application If one can find the .exe on disk and register this one then ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed is false. So this seems like a dead end. Any help would be appreciated.   /Lars Given the restrictions, how about an MSI file as a prerequisite which w ...Show All

  Hi,   I wanted to know if there was any way of setting the SMTPAuthenticate in the RSReportServer.config file, so i could connect to a remote SMTP with username and password thanks in advance kered In order to send emails you need some SMTP server that you have permission to send email to.  If you currently have RS set up to use the SMTPServer setting then you can make your local SMTP server relay messages to that server.  If you do not currently have an SMTP server that can send emails to the internet then you will need to set one up for that.  I am not sure how you do that, I ha ...Show All
