• Visual Studio Express Editions DotNetNuke install problem or too many starter kit installs

  The DotNetNuke Starter Kit 4.0.2 does not show up in the "My Templates" of the "New Web Site" window of VWD (An icon titled "DotNetNuke Web App..." per the documentation). I am wondering if there is a limit to the number of "New Web Site" templates that can be added and show up in the "My Templates". I have installed previously eight (8) starter kits and ASP.NET Site templates. With the "Search online templates... icon, that makes nine evenly spread icons in the "My Templates" section of the "New Web Site" window of VWD. All installed correctly except the DotNetNuk ...Show All

  When will the express manager be available for the msdn version that is scheduled to ship later this month.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Distributing My App - Verification...

  Ok, so let's say I've got a project that when built, puts "MyKillerC#App.exe" in the bin -> release folder. Now I want to turn around, zip that up and post it for downloading from a website for others to download and use. Questions: Should I include a note that says words to the effect of "You need to download and install the .NET 2.0 installer from Microsoft in order for this application to run" I have an about box that has the app name, version number, my name and email address in it. Am I required to have anything else in there, like an acknowledgement that "This app was written using Microsoft's Visual C# ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem debugging CE5 app with VS2005 (no activesync)

  Hello all,  After much searching I have been able to get the deploy feature running with my c++ App from Vs2005 to my CE 5 device.  Unfortunately, I am unable to debug.  I get a "Unable to start debugging" error message from Visual Studio and not much else. The exe makes it to the device and I can run the exe from the device.  I just can't debug it.  I still have eVC++4 on my machine so I tried that and I am able to debug the same application using  eVC++4.  The app is just a simple dialog based windows app created by the wizard.   I have done tons of searching on the net and the closest thing ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Set talk, set deleted in forms

  Hi; I am issuing SET TALK OFF and SET DELE ON in my application. Later on, when the user opens up a form, set TALK goes ON and in some cases SET DELE goes OFF. I have used the debugger, and I can't seem to find where exactly this happens, although its at the load event. There is nothing there to turn it on. So - what am I missing Aleniko Hi Aleniko To add to what Dave says (he is dead right of course) you can find a full list of all the commands that are scoped to the Data Session in the SET DATASESSION topic of the help file. There are many more than just TALK and DELETED and you ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert between Func<T> and Expression<T>

  Are there facilities to convert a Func<T> and an Expression<T> in order to use something that was intended to be used as a predicate and use it instead as an expression tree -Scott Convert it Runtime I dont think so, its an compiler trick afaik . Im afraid they need an extra layer of indirection for that. So i guess its not possible yet. I tried to achieve the same thing for an kind of Linq query analyzer but ended up writing my own interpreter. There is however a sample on how you can create your own interpreter and create a delegate for it, i guess you can do the same thing with some ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom code assembly with config file

  Hi! My report has a reference to an assembly of a class library I did. This class library has a config file, classLibrary.dll.config, where I set some parameters, one of these being the "initial path" to the project's folder(for example, project folder is myProject, and you would use the initial path to say it's in c:/projects/tests). When I preview the report everything works fine, but when I publish it I get this error: Absolute path information is required. I guess it's not reading the dll.config file, so it can't see the initial path value and concatenate it with the project's folder. I'm supposing this because at ...Show All
