• Visual Basic Deleting all records in access

  Hello All, I am working on a project for a former neighbor. I originally wanted to build a program for him to distribute. He is doing a Geneology research. I wanted to create a database with the family name but realized I could not. So, I want to be able to let him put in the data, export it to text or HTML, then delete ALL the records and start the next family. I have seen many examples but cannot get them to work on VB 2005 Express. Here is the code I have been messing with: Dim db as Database dim strSQL as String strSQL="Delete * from Husband" conn.execute strSQL The Dim db and the conn says they are not defin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build appears to die mid-build

  Are there any known issues with Team Build and C++/CLI projects I have a very simple WinForms application in C++/CLI in a team project, and I've configured a Team Build to build it.  The Team Build service is installed on the dev machine, so I know there's a complete Visual Studio/SDK installation there. The build appears to actually build everything (Debug and Release builds), but the status in the builds window in VS never advances past "Compilation Started".  If I open the BuildLog.log file, I see part of a log, but it's truncated, as if the build process simply died without ever flushing/closing the file. Any insights or diagn ...Show All

• .NET Development Regarding Garbage Collection

  Part of my work is to run Night Runs of our system to see if there are problems that show up after a long period of time. One morning I analyzed the last Night Run and I saw that we have a lot of Handles (above 300,000 handles) with the help of the task manager. We have an option to force the GC to run in our Console. I used this option and voila the number of handles decreased to 25,000. My question why didn't the GC detected this situation and reclaimed all of the unreachable handles With the help of WinDbg I saw that most of them were Manual/Auto Reset Events and Threads. Does the GC takes the number of handles into acount in the criteria ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ME Compatibility

  Greets again, I got my first database program running in XP. I installed in ME after installing .Net Framework 2.0. It's a simple database program using Access .mdb file as the database.

When I run the program in ME, I get a message at startup that tells me .Net Framework 2.0 requires Version 2.6 of OleDb files and Version 2.5 are installed This incompatibility won't let the program acces the database. The program works at everything except accessing the database. Everything works correctly in XP but NOT in ME. What can I do to get the program to bind to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with SharePoint when creating a project in TFS beta3

  Hi, After installation of TFS beta3 and Sharepoint 2.0SP1 I have problems with accessing Sharepoint. During installation there were no problems, as I have reinstalled twice, I especially looked at the sharepoint part.

• Windows Forms DataGrid View - Ctl+0 to null out a combobox column

  I have a DataGridView which has a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn column named "Assigned To" which allows users to assign tasks to a user of the system. The DataGridView is databound to a DataTable called "Tasks" and the "Assign To" dropdown is databound to a table called "Employees". The linkage between the two tables is employee_id. I would like the users to have the ability to un-assign a task. I am having problems setting the "Assigned To" value to null. I had two solutions to accomplish this: 1) Let the user hit "Ctrl+0" to null out the assign to value 2) Add a blank item i ...Show All

• Visual C# How get inner class info by Reflection

  public abstract class ClassBase { public abstract class InnerClassBase { } public void CheckInfo() { Type currentType = this.GetType(); //How to get method info of this inner Class } } public class TestClass:ClassBase { public new class InnerClassBase { public void Test() { } } } //Testing code TestClass test = new TestClass(); test.CheckInfo(); I'm not sure I understand the problem. You can't get a MethodInfo for a class. I'm also not sure what the purpose of the two InnerClassBase classes are.

• Visual Studio Team System ConnectionPool VS ConnectionPerUser

  Hi, For a LoadTest's "Run Settings" properties, 1. whats the difference between using ConnectionPool and ConnectionPerUser 2. Which setting "DOES NOT" cause any bottle necks on the Agents. Jesudhas With ConnectionPerUser, each virtual user of a web test uses a dedicated connection to the web server, and that connection is closed when the web test session completes.    With a ConnnectionPool, the number of connections is specified by the Connection Pool Size setting, and if this is less than the number of web test users, then it is possible that web test requests will be queued while waiting ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF failed to work, if i add a service

• Software Development for Windows Vista CallExternalMethod to Terminate a Persisted Workflow

  I have a sequential WF with a CallExternalMethod Activity attached. I am wanting to tell the host to terminate another persisted workflow. I have a method in the workflow codebehind that uses the SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance class along with SqlTrackQuery to return a specific workflowInstanceId from the tracking/persistence store. I am attempting to terminate that specific workflow from my current workflow. I know in beta2 it is not possible to directly cancel another workflow. I must create an interface to talk back to the host. I've done this, added the dataExchangeService to my host and added the new service to it. My ...Show All
