• Visual Studio Installation hangs

  I have tried installing VC express on my machine and the installation hangs during startup(loading installation components),  with the suite integration toolkit. the report gives the module name as vsscenario.dll. It is a system thing as it has installed Ok on another machine. I have uninstalled all instances of .net and dont have any versions of Visual studio installed. The machine is a 650Mhz pentium 3 with 384 Meg Ram, running XP with service pack2  and should be able to run the program. I am also unable to install from the net as it does the same thing.

• Windows Forms Bootstraping from MageUI

  Can the bootstrapping that is installing the prerequisites be done from the MageUI I know we can do this using visual studio IDE. However is there any way we can do this using MageUI. Also can the APIs which do bootstrapping be used from other applications such as install shield Regards, Vishal Karnik ( vishy_100@hotmail.com ) Vishal, There is no way to say ‘Create setup.exe’ from MageUI.

• .NET Development Converting XML to string whilst including the schema.

  Hi, How do I convert a DataSet to an XML string INCLUDING the schema information and store it into a string variable in memory I can't use the DataSet GetXml() function (no schema) and instead think I have to use the DataSet WriteXml() function, ensuring that the XmlWriteMode value passed in is set to 'WriteSchema'. However, I want a string variable in memory populated with the value, NOT a file. I am not very good with System.IO. I have never really used these objects before and am having a hard time working out how to get a string variable in memory populated with the value. The objects all seem to deal with writing to files, streams ...Show All

• SQL Server Database file and log

  Hi, I am just about to get familiar with SQL-Server 2005. Since I created a database and played a little with it I recognized that the database file has grown up to 150 MB as well as the log file. I used the shrink task to resize the database file. After doing so the .ldf remained as it was (150 MB). Since I would not need log information stored there, is it possible to shrink the ldf-file as well Thanks for your help!

• Visual C# Is there any way to flag a block of code so it isn't reformatted by "Format Document"?

  I love the VS2005 autoformatter, and I use "Edit / Advanced / Format Document" and "Format Selection" all the time. Sometimes, though, the code is much easier to read if you break the rules and put everything on one line with multiple spaces or tabs. Example: Property1 { get { return this.myClass.internalAttribute1; } { set this.myClass.internalattribute1 = value; }} P2        { get { return this.p2; }                         { set this.p2 = value; }} Property3 { get { return this.interna ...Show All
