• .NET Development Convert VB to C# for saving/reading an image from Access DB

  Hi, I am trying to save and read an image from MS Access DB based on the following article: http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Code/Sept2003/2175.asp Right now, I saved images without any errors. After reading the ole object from db, I saved it to C: as imageFromDb.BMP and displayed on the web. But it can not be displayed. After I manually sent the file to wordpad, it shows System.Byte [ ] Now I suspect my saving an image might be wrong. The tab ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why are the ClientBase<TChannel> ctors protected?

  With the service contract in a separate assembly it is really nice to be able to share the same assembly between the client and service. Then you can create a generic proxy client without the need for svcutil. (The same way you should share an interface for .net remoting). Unfortunately this requires writing a generic helper class that derives from ClientBase<TChannel> because all it's ctors and InnerProxy property are protected! Why oh ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modifying TargetDIR via Command Line Property

  I am creating a Visual Studio Installation project that we will use to build the MSI for our application (we were using Wise Installer). Based on a property being passed in via the command line, we install one of two versions of our application.

• Visual C++ __onexitbegin invalid during static initialization

  I've got another tricky static initialization problem.  I'm porting a large MFC app from Visual Studio 2002 to VS 2005 RC1. The app is crashing at runtime when we attempt to statically construct an STL container object.  The crash happens when the runtime asserts on __CrtIsValidHeapPointer. Stepping through the assembly, I see that the object is constructed OK (constructor just sets an implementation pointer to NULL), and the runtime ...Show All

At this point, Team Explorer is blank and there is no way to tell that window to refresh its contents. Then I go to File->Source ...Show All
