• SQL Server Annoyed with SQL Server 2005 Imponderables - Help!?

  Hello, upon our recent upgrade to SQL Server 2005, there are three issues that have plagued me that I cannot find a workaround for, despite much forum scouring. 1. I have a DTS package that I migrated to SSIS.  The migration seemed to go smoothly, and I can successfully run the SSIS package.  However, when I try to create an SSIS job from it, the job fails to run.  I merely get a "The step failed" error message.  I've seen related posts, none with fixes. 2. DELETE FROM table_a WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM table_b).  A simple command that would take seconds to run in SQL 2000 now takes almost an hour.  ...Show All

• Windows Forms Enable Hot Keys

  Hi, I am developing an application in VB.Net. I have a windows  form with several buttons like Save, Close etc with Hotkeys Alt + S, Alt +  C respectively.  Usually in VB6 a hot key is triggered only by pressing Alt key and the letter, but in vb.net, pressing just the letter itself triggers the hot key. That is, If I just press the  ...Show All

• .NET Development 2.0 Assembly Permissions and Shell Extensions peculiarity

  I've been writing some shell extensions in c#, I'm aware this has process/threading implications but I started before i knew that and I'd like to finish. I have a Base assembly which contains a lot of base classes and interop definitions, the base stuff most shell extensions will need. I have an assembly Stream which uses the Base assembly classes to provide a simple ContextMenuHandler for filesystem items which contain ntfs named streams. All assemblies have an assembly level RequestRefuse on Reflection.Emit a result of which is that no assembly ever runs under more than the optional permission set, never Unrestricted. When a filesystem i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Check-In with VSTS2005/VSS2005 - Unexpected error encountered.

  Here's the rest of the error. It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible. Error: The specified procedure cannot be found. File: vsee\internal\inc\vscomptr.inl Line number: 618 I've uninstalled VSS 2005 and reinstalled with no change. An MSDN Forums search turned up a recommendation to reinstall Windows Script ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=183874&SiteID=1 ) but that didn't change things either. Moreover, a search of my system says that the file vscomptr.inl doesn't exist at all. What ever is going on Sean Reregistering the ole ...Show All

• Visual C++ Steps to create a Windows Service in .Net Studio

  Folks, I have been able to create a Windows Service (aka NT Service) using C# with the help of an article posted by Mahesh Chand on c-sharpcorner. I need to create an NT Service using C++ in Visual Studio .Net. Use of ATL and MFC is OK for my application. I did not find any article/ book chapter that addresses this. I know doing so in Visual C++ Studio 6 is fairly straight forward. Unfortunately, going back to Studio 6 is a not a desirable option. In .Net Studio, I have created both kinds of Windows Service C++ ATL Projects: (a) Attributed (default) and (b) non-attributed. Fom these projects, I am not able to figure out: (1) how to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to find "Avg Time To the First Byte"

  Hi all, It is not clear to me how to get "Avg Time To the First Byte". From ACT, you can see it, but it is not clear in VS Testers >Vui Start a load test.  Then go to the counter tree on the left and expand the scenario node, then the webtest that has the requests your interested in, the the request you want.  Under the request node is the Avg. First Byte Time counter. You can also click the tables button on the toolbar and then select the requests table.  Right click on this table and choose Add/Remove Columns.  The Avg. time to first byte is an option for one of the columns. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MFC CPropertySheet/CPropertyPage

  Good day. I use MFC classes CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage to implement tabbed application. I've got some questions: 1. How can I move tabs to the top of screen I tried to apply TCS_BOTTOM attribute, but it doesn't work: CTabCtrl* pTabs = this->GetTabControl(); DWORD flags = pTabs->GetExtendedStyle(); flags |= TCS_BOTTOM; pTabs->SetExtendedStyle(flags); 2. When I have only one PropertyPage in my Sheet, components of this page are slightly displaced from their places. 3. When I try to add pages dynamically, bottom tab bar isn't being painted - i see only white rectangle on it's place. This only happens when I initially ha ...Show All

• Visual C++ Command line builds and file changes

  Hello, we are using VS2005. This question pertains to VC++ and command like builds. I am trying to use vcbuild (or msbuild) to build from scripts a solution with about 40 projects. What I find is that after doing a full build (win32 and debug, for instance) if I change a header file for instance and run the vcbuild command again passing the solution file, it says that everything is up to date. If I do the same thing from the IDE, right click on the solution and do Build Solution it rebuilds exactly what it needs. Am I doing something wrong with the command line I would like it just to build what it needs, I don't want to use /rebuild to r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Results Window - Should be able to double-click to open test method

  This seems so obvious that I am very surprised there isn't an easy way to go from a "failure" in the test results window to the failing test method source. If there is a way to do this (don't see Goto Source on the context menu either) then this really needs to be in the next release. Hello Keith, There is an option called "Open Test" in the context menu (when right-clicking your result). This will take you to the the test method. Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any good Books on using WCF in SOA

  I have read through Dave Pallmans book on Indigo.  Its a good introduction, but tends to focus on RPC, ratehr than WSDL and Message orientated SOA solutions. Anyone suggest any decent books (apart from MSDN) which go into the depths of true contract first (WSDL) and Message orientated SOA - To help Interoperability with other Platforms. Thanks Julian Hello Richard, In your post here you imply that SVCUTIL can create a service-skeleton from WSDL, but have read the SVCUTIL docs and played with it, I can't figure out how to do this. Could you elaborate on how a WCF service skeleton can be auto-generated ...Show All
