• Windows Forms Custom Forms Designer Serializer Issue

  Hi, I have enhanced custom forms designer from http://support.microsoft.com/ id=813808 http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/9/fd986a23-d3d6-44c3-8fa0-75e21b0094bf/designerhost.exe (C# code examples from Microsoft) It works nice with .NET Framework v1.1.

• Visual C# Missing project file in a solution

  Currently, we are adding a c# project to a solution that was formely code in visual basic. However it seems that every time we tried to load the solution file, all of our c# project is missing and we have to manually add the c sharp project one by one. Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this problem It's not a fatal problem but it's quite annoying after some time. This can only happen if the path's chanced. Normally you add the C# files, save you project and all the problems are gone. Does this happen on just one PC or with just one solution/project ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database Explorer: Cannot save new query on Access DB ?

  Hello, I've created a project which connects to an Access database by using a Data Source. When I create a new query from the Database Explorer, I am unable to save this query to my database. The Help says it should be done through File - Save <query>, but that option is not available. Am I doing something wrong Thanks in advance. They really stuffed up on this. Clear documentation working with data, saving, updating etc using text boxes and buttons should of been supplied as example projects. Such an important feature has been missed. Joe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Running FxCop through code

  Is it possible to run FxCop from code Can I create a class to run an analysis on an assembly and then analyze the report output within my class I'm asking because the company I'm with wants to incorporate FxCop into its build process and would like the build to fail if FxCop finds certain rules broken. Thanks! Unfortunately, our integration with the VS IDE has slowed down progress in this area, and providing an extensibility mechanism for UI is not as high priority as other critical work items (such as simply documenting a stable API for writing rules themselves). We do hope to make progress here in a futur ...Show All

• SQL Server Mixed Mode

  After installing SQL Server 2005 I found that I inadvertantly used Windows Authentication Mode and I would like to change to Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) - what is the best way to do this In Microsoft SQL Server 2000 you could simply go into Enterprise Manager, edit the SQL Server Registration Properties, edit the Properties of the SQL Server and edit the Properties of the SQL Server Agent. It's a server property. In SQL Workbench, open object explorer, add your server, right-click on it and select properties. It should be in there somewhere. ...Show All

• SQL Server sql server 2005 vs express size limits

  I've been developing a vb app with sql server 2005 and had planned to use express as the client server so the db could be distributed with the app. After importing 21 csv text files, I realized that I have way too much data. My understanding is that sqlexpress can only work with max 4gb database. The 21 csv files (total 925mb) brought the db size up to 1.5gb and I still have at least 250 more files to go. Obviously, I need a different approach. What are the size limitations of the non express version of sql server 2005 Any suggestions on the best approach for this type of situation Check out this link f ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to scale down Visual Studio 2005.

  Hello, I would like to launch a scaled down version of Visual Studio. I am looking to launch the Editor, with my own tool bar and menu bar. What is the best approach to do this Should I write my own editor using the VSIP APIs OR is there a way to remove the extension points from Visual Studio 2005 to get down to its bare bones and then add my functionality on top of it Thanks, Laadlaa. Currently this is not possible. Visual Studio is sold as an application with pluggable components. At this time, we do not sell a copy of VS without these components, and removing one component could c ...Show All
