• Software Development for Windows Vista Tutorial - Lab 4 Ex 1 Tk 4 St 10 & 11

  FYI - I could not get the designer to see Workflow1.OrderEvtArgs (or Workflow1.OrderSender) until I changed the access level from private to public. protected didn't work either. Sound like you have Beta 2.2 installed and the labs you are using were built using Beta 2. There is an upgrade document here that might be helpful for you until the labs are upgraded. ...Show All

• SQL Server connecting to database

  Ilya Tumanov wrote: Yes, but it makes no sense. To accomplish that you would have to purchase SQL 2000/2005 and pay CALs per device (or per CPU license). If that’s acceptable, simply get rid of Access and use much more powerful SQL you've paid for. Alternative solution is to use Web Service to talk to Access database. Create couple WEB methods to talk to access and call them from device. Something like this should do: DataSet GetAccessData(String command, …) { // Connect to Access DB here, execute command and populate data set with returned data. return dataSet; } ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't clear the VSS Working Directory in VSS2005

  In VSS 6.0d, I can clear the working folder for any given project/subproject by simply setting it to a blank entry. This allows me to remove/reset the working folder of a subproject, which in turn causes it to inherit the working directory of its parent. In VSS2005, when I clear the textbox for the "set working folder", the "save" button is disabled. Is there an option to turn this feature back on in VSS 2005 I really miss that! I need to be able to manually control the working folders when using the VSS UI. You can get the old dialog by keeping the Shift key pressed when clicking SetWorking Folders or by ...Show All

• Visual Basic Transparency seems impossible in Visual Basic 2005 :..(

  Hi, I've been using VB 6.0 in the past, but .gif transparent images were too limited in colors, and .png seems so much better. So I got the beta 2 edition of Visual Basic 2005 (free off Microsoft's website, nice surprise!). The thing is though, transparency like on the image I attached above doesn't seem possible. The transparent pixels just show the form background, not the other image below. Am I missing something here I was wondering what the best way (that's still simple for someone who hasn't programmed in a while, hehe) to make it work In VB 6 a transparent text layer worked perfectly. So for example I could have giant "RELOAD" te ...Show All

• Visual C# Programtically determine paramaters

  Is there a way to programatically determine the parameters passed to a procedure i.e. given: void Proc1( string cVarName ) { ...determine that one parameter named cVarName is here and it's type is string and then say display it. } As an FYI, I was curious if I could write a generic function for CodeSite to easily dump the incoming parameters of a given procedure. Regards, Nick H You could write a generic function that would take the class instance (this) and the function name as a parmeter to figure out which parameters are there via Reflection. But that does not help with dumping the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Invalid value for 'OSVersion'

Thereafter no more able to compile the solution/project whitout error Thanks in advance for any hints, ideas.     This error is issued from the GenerateApplicationManifest msbuild task when the OSVersion property passed to this task is not valid. It is expected that the OSVersion property will be of the form "a.b.c.d", where a b c and d are all numbers >= 0. I would suggest turning on diagnostics information for the build to see if you can figure out where the OSVersion is getting set ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modify Window Chrome via templates?

  I've been playing around with Avalon for quite some time. I love it and am really looking forward to what people can create with it. My only gripe is the fact that the Avalon application resides inside a regular window chrome. Now, I understand why this was done, but does anyone else see a need to allow for customization of the window chrome Could anyone explain to me how Microsoft Max accomplished this Finally, I've opened up a suggestion on MSDN Product Feedback. If you think that customization of the window chrome should be allowed without Win32 calls, vote on it! http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbacki ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to find the C++ source lines given a crash address?

  In VS2003 you used to be able to find source code lines from a crash address using the MAP file generated with /MAPINFO:LINES. In VS2005 this doesn't seem to be possible. I have found a handfull of references on the web that say that the source line can be found from the crash address using the exe and the pdb file, but I can't figure out how to do this in VS 2005. The code I'm wanting to debug is a wrapped unmanaged assembly written in C++ called from a main program written in VB. Is this described in any of the documentation, if not then how can it be done Take a look at this past ...Show All
