• Windows Forms Environment Variables in Windows Installer

  I have a Windows Installer Setup project as part of my VS2005 solution, and was wondering if there was any way I could interact with Environment Variables from within this project Specifically, I was looking at a way to update the PATH variable on an install, and then remove the added entry during un-install. I was hoping there would be a quick and easy way of doing this. The Setup project has a Registry Editor, and I was expecting something s ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to turn off Intellisense processing?

  I'm using VSTS July 2005 CTP.  I've found that on idle VSTS kicks in Intellisense processing, which often ends up hanging the IDE.  I've looked through all options and can't find a place to turn that processing off. Thanks. It would be great if intelli-nonsense was at least smart enough to not do indexing while I'm using my computer (or provided an option). I've compiled; I'm waiting to run a benchmark; and I can't because t ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is UDF class declared partial?

  When you create a C# SQL Server project and add a UDF to it, the containing class that wizard creates is declared partial.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF apps slow for some reason

  Everything is slow for some reason. I tried Max, and that ran decently (aside some weirdness I'll explain below), but I try running some of the sample code and other stuff I compile on Visual Studio, and it's unbelievably slow. I tried the samples here  on XamlPad... I can click on a button at a rate of about 2-3 times a second, and my CPU usage will jolt up to 100%. Most other sample applications run just as slow. Max runs okay, except tha ...Show All

• .NET Development DAO Wrapper: Field is DBNull after Addnew and throws error

  First a quick bit of background. I have a legacy app that is written in VB6 using DAO. We are slowly migrating to .Net. DAO is a problem going forward, but we do not have the time (or $$) to rearchitect using ADO/ADO.Net. We decided to write a set of abstract VB.Net classes that present the DAO interface - this will allow us to implement concrete classes using any physical DB engine that we choose to use in the future. I currently have implem ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to remove VSS?

  I'm working on a solution that is under VSS control.  I want to zip it to send it to a colleague just for viewing.  So he does not need the VSS control at all. Is there an easy way to remove VSS control including all the control files(.scc/.vssscc/.vspscc/etc.)   I do not want him to be confused.  I want him to view the solution as if it has never been put under VSS control at all.  Is that possible Thanks!
