• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about variable decleration

  This maybe is a stupid question. Sometimes I see variables declared like int _Counter; What is the _ stands for can someone give me an example why you have to declare it like that. Thank you. Hello Oguz, Obviously you can name a variable just about anything you'd like. Some people prefer to use the _ prefix to denote a private variable. This way you know the variable is private in scope just by looking at the name. Regards, Mike ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Exceptions in unit tests in secondary threads kills vstesthost

  Hi, I was told at the PDC to log this issue here. I have some asynchronous APIs like BeginWork(). I am writing some unit tests for these APIs. These APIs create threads to do the work and fire events to signify that work is complete. If there are uncaught exceptions in these secondary threads, VsTestHost dies without performing any further unit tests in the list which have not been executed yet. I wanted to know if this is a bug. If it is not, is there a workaround Thanks Pawan Where is your callback method written I assume your callback method that is called by the asynchronous method is also written in th ...Show All

• SQL Server backup does not backup

  Hi. SQL Server 2000 EE was able to do this but just found out that SQL Server 2005 EE does not do this. When I select a database to backup, even if i select a different path to backup to - it says it has successfully backed up and verified the backed up database however I am unable to locate it in that path specified.   I have also ran a Windows Search on the file - it does not pick up anything.   When I go back to SQL Server 2000 EE - the same results occur, I was able to backup databases before installing SQL Server 2005 Is there something I am doing wrong   try check ur service manager for SQL Ser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions A question about product registration

  I have installed and registered VC# Express already, but if I reinstall my OS and also reinstall the product after November 7th, 2006, how can I register the product You can register again and receive a new registration key.  Alternatively, as Andre suggests, you can install from the ISO image to avoid the registration requirement. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/  for more information. Thanks, Scott Currie (DDCPX Program Manager, Microsoft) ...Show All

• Windows Forms 121 PictureBoxes slow my app. Help me optimize?

  I'm developing a program that uses 121 pictureboxes on one form and when I run the program, it is rather slow.  I haven't even coded yet!  If I try to move the window, the contents get especially choppy.  It's even worse if I'm moving the app and it hits the edge of the screen.  Plus, my pictureboxes all need to have transparent backgrounds.  That slows my app even more. I know that the alternative is having one big picturebox and using the Paint event.  I've tried that back in Visual Basic 2003 and it was a total nightmare. Can anyone help me optimize my app so that all the pictureboxes don't slow it ...Show All

• SQL Server More problems with activation

  I have two databases on the same instance. One is Basket_ODS and the other is Intelligence_ODS. I am using service broker activation on a queue to move data from the Basket_ODS table to the Intelligence_ODS database. Previously I was able to move from table to table in Basket_ODS, however now that I am moving it to another database on the same instance it is no longer working. If I set my active connection in SQL Management Studio to this user(BrokerUser) and execute the "move" procedure it works. When activated by Service Broker however, it does not. Here is the error message: 2006-05-09 14:47:52.940 spid86s The activated ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS SDK March 2006 CTP

  Hi, Just saw they released a new Visual Studio SDK: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronmar/archive/2006/03/03/543265.aspx Is there anything new with respect to the DSL Tools Couldn't find any info on that. Can I just stay on the February SDK Greets, Gerben. Just beware of the fact that designers created with the February CTP won't load straight away with the March CTP, although they could be easily fixed. I just spoke to Eamon O'Tuathail and he found that the problem is that the March '06 CTP VS SDK files are under C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2006.03 whereas the February '06 CTP files are und ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista synchronizing with workflow thread

  Hello,     Is there any way to synchronize the execution thread, the one that raises events received by some eventsink activities, with the workflow thread I mean, synchronizing the first one with the finalization of the handler associated with the eventsink activity... Regards, M Markus, Just to clarify, do you want the delivery of the message to be synchronous with its execution When you raise the event, it is asynchronously enqueued for delivery to the workflow instance.  You can use a method invoke after the sink, to call out onto the local service and change some stat ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databinding radiobuttons

  Problem: My entity class contains a value, an int with the value 1,2 or 3. This is representet in the database as a tabel containing id and description. The easy choice would be databinding this table to a combobox, with selected to this value. But this is supposed to look like radiobuttons. My problem is databinding this value to radiobutton1/2/3.  Radiobutton1.checked if value=1, etc. Solutions could be to represent this value as three boolean in my entitclass. Dont wanna do that. Other solution is to set the three radiobuttons when _CurrentItemChanged, and set the value when eather of the buttons is changed. Dont wanna do that eather ...Show All
