• Windows Forms Unable to install ClickOnce application from ISP's web site, just get XML page displayed

  I have a VB2005 application that I've published to my ISP's web site, when the install button is pressed all you get is the XML MyApp.application file displayed in the browser (Win XP SP2 IE6 also same for W2K). Also created new app it to does the same. Loooking through this forum I see that other people have had similar problems their cure was to get their ISP to associate the .application extension with the MIME type ' application/x-ms-application '. I contacted my ISP (BrightView), all they could advise was the webspace they provide is standard webspace. They do not support Frontpage extensions or any elements that requ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Explorer default settings...

  Is there a way to alter the default radio button option when checking out from the first option (lock etc.) to the middle option (Check-out). Also, things like file associations...

• Visual Basic What has replaced ---CopyArray--- function is Visual Basic Express Beta 2

  Apparently, the new version of Visual Basic Express 2005 Beta 2 has removed the CopyArray Function---What has replaced CopyArray CopyArray transferred all the data from one array into another array.

Is there any way to download the OLD Visual Express 2005 Beta 2 from the October 2004 time frame I can't get the latest beta 2 to work properly and lots of code needs to be changed to migrate from OLD BETA 2 to current Beta 2. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with Parameterized insert SQL with OLEDB Destination

  Hello, I've searched around and can't find any references to the problem I'm having. I'd appreciate any ideas or input. I'm trying to use the OLEDB Destination for an insert at the end of a long data flow. I need to parameterize the input, and for some of the columns I need to use literal values instead of parameters. It seems like this should be the most common thing in the world, but I'm at a loss to get it to work. I type in the SQL statement just like I would with an OLEDB Command transformation, with the character for the appropriate columns in the VALUES clause. However, when I try to use Parse Query I get this error: "Parameter I ...Show All

• Visual C++ Custom Preprocessor as Custom Build Step

  I was reading an article in GameDeveloper recently that suggested an interesting method of using strings as object IDs.  Since strings are expensive to compare at runtime, hashes of those strings are often used for comparison and identification.  The article suggested using a custom "macro" called HASH() which would be evaluated to a CRC hash value during the build.  For example: //in the source code Load(HASH("MDL_MECH01_LARGE")); //the same line after the custom build step: Load(0x334BDCF8); The benefit of this method is that the programmer doesn't need to worry about the hashes of the strings, an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Shared Add-in project / Windows version

  I just notice that VST requires at least XP SP2 or 2k3 to develop Shared Add-in ! My current dev. plateform OS is w2k SP4, both VS2k3 and VST beta 2 CTP Feb 05 installed (not success to update to RC1 because of huge keyboard issue). When creating a VB shared Add-in, an error dialog box stated that Shared Add-in project couldn't be create on XP SP1 or W2k OS. Why MS impose this limitation on the script project  Clearly, it seems that MS checks OS version inside the "Shared Add-in" script without any documented reason. Actually, I use VS2k3 to create a new Shared Add-in then update this project in VST 05 without any warning. Bu ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vista Beta 2 IIS7 setup

  I've just upgraded to the new Vista Beta 2 build 5384 and am unable to get any of the WCF samples provided with the SDK to run.  I'm pretty sure it's just an IIS7 setup issue. From reading around i've seen a few sites recommending that i add a MIME type mapping for the .svc file... but i cant' work out how to do that.  This ( http://www.iis.net/default.aspx tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=1032) suggests that there should be a MIME Types item in the list of things i can configure for the default web site in inetmgr ... but it's not there Here's what i have done so far.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Questions about the new CoerceValueCallback

  The documentation is currently a bit wonky, but here's my understanding of how this new system works: With a DP called X:    - In PropertyChangedCallback for X, you call CoerceValue on all properties that are dependent on X, including X itself.    - In CoerceValueCallback for X, you take the parameter, which is X's current value or desired value, and return what the actual value should be after considering the values of other properties that X is dependent on. So the property is coerced when it is written or one of it's dependencies is written. Is this correct Assuming it is, what happens in the following XAML scenari ...Show All
