• Visual C# How to hide class

  I'm trying to hide class to the object browser, trying using the attribute : EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)] but it seems run right only with properties and method. Is there any way to hide a class Use [Browsable(false)] [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)] to completely hide a class from Intellisense.  If you don't need the class outside the assembly then simply mark it as internal.  It will always show up in the Object Browser.

• SQL Server Importing SQL 2000 data into 2005

  Hello! I've got some backuped files from a 2000-server Analysis services and I need to import them into 2005. The problem is that I am not sure how these files where made and thus what they are. AFAIK they are simple dumps of databases. At least they have the same names: msdb_db_<date>.bak (500Mb) model_db_<date>.bak (800Kb) and the actual database with data which doesn't have a file-ending at all. These files are used as backup and apparantly it is possible to restore the 2000-server using them. Basicly this is all I know about these files. Is there any way I can do this The background to this story is that I am t ...Show All

• Visual C# Some problems?

  I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but as it's the Visual C# forum I figured I would do it here. I've searched since around 11:00 PM (it's now 4:00 AM) for a fix to my problem. Apparently I used to have Visual C# Express Edition and MSDN Express Edition both installed and somehow I messed everything up, now preventing me from installing Visual C# again. I have no way to uninstall these, I've run multiple "clean-up" tools, one worked but returned errors when it got to Visual C# and MSDN, which were: Error 1316.A network error occured while attempting to read from the file: c:\WINDOWS\Installer\msdnexp.msi AND Error 1316. ...Show All

• Visual C# Solution-wide data access

  Hi, I have a solution with a main project (my actual application), a plugin handler project and about a dozen other projects that are the actual plugins for the main application project (the main application is fully based on these plugins and only functions as a visual interface for them basically). Now, i have an Access database (although i may move to VistaDB) that is accessed by just about all plugin projects (but NOT the main application project). I have been searching my rear end off but i can't seem to locate any information on how to make a single database accessible by all these projects without having to define the databas ...Show All

• Visual C# C#, Arrays, and Guids..OH MY!

  Hey everyone :) I hope i'm posting this in the right forum, since it deals with a little a little SQL, as well as C#. The problem i'm having is this: I've got 3 tables.  A "Users" table, a "Role" table, and a "UserRole" table.  The "UserRole" table has two columns, "User_ID" and "Role_ID"...both of type uniqueidentifier. I'm trying to add the functionality of adding a user to multiple roles, but I need to get the GUIDs of the roles from the "Role" table, and store them in an array, so that they can then be added to the "UserRole" table (I'm having no problem getting the GUID from the "User" table). Here's what I ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Binary/ASCII recognition and Binary_Masks option with SS 2005 does not work

  Hi !   We have switched to VS2005 and VSS 2005 and have now some problems with the file type recognition .   We have a filetype that contains a lot of ascii line (Defines) and after that there is a CTRL-Z and binary data. Because the recognition is very hard we set the BINARY_MASKS-option in the ss.ini to that extension. That worked fine with VS6, but VS2005 doesn`t care about the option and sets the filetype to ASCII. Whats wrong   Regards from Germany Joerg Hi Joerg, If you're using a beta or pre-release version of VSS2005 you may have problem with Binar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tabcontrol within form

  Hello, I've a tabcontrol with 4 tabpages (in design mode). Each tabpage has elements. Above the tabcontrol, there is an button. I want to save the values of the elements in a database. That works, but one problem. Only the values of the elements in the activated tabpage will be known when I click on the button. The elements of the rest of the tabpages are known, but their values are empty. What's the problem What is the save button actually doing As you have seen it seems as it is only working on the active form. The solution is probably to change the behaviour of the save button to include all pages of the tabcontrol. ...Show All
