• Windows Forms Smartclient and DB connection weirdness ?

  I have a smartclient app on my site that when I run at work works fine. But at home it comes back with NOTHING for all the DB queires. This just happen lately.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office InfoPathNamespace screwed...

  From the Infopath documentation: ....The InfoPathNamespace attribute (which is implemented by the InfoPathNamespaceAttribute type) is applied to a class to identify the XML DOM selection namespaces used within the class. The namespaces referenced in the InfoPathNamespace are maintained by the InfoPath project system.... However, I managed to get rid of all the information (except the My namespace) And InfoPath doesn't put it back either. Can anyone give me some hints about how to resolve this issue Tnx Rene Rene, From your post, it looks like you are using the Infopath Beta with VSTA. A ...Show All

• SQL Server Network access to Sql Server 2005 Express

The application opens with a login form that asks for username and password and uses the following connection string: modUserName = txtUserName.Text modPassWord = txtPassWord.Text Dim ConnectionStringMaster As Stri ...Show All

• Visual C++ XP style buttons with PSDK

  I recently ported an older Win32 PSDK program to VS 2005. How can I get it to use the cool XP style buttons I have my display "Appearance" set to "Windows XP Style". Further, when in the VS2005 Resource Editor, my buttons seem to be XP Style. Yet when I run the program, the same buttons are just as "flat" as they have always been. There is probably a compiler option that I am unaware of. Can someone please point me in the right direction on this Thanks in advance! You need an XP manifest file. In VC++ 2005, take Project Properties - Manifest Tool - Input and Output ...Show All

  I have a problem, i created a windows application in visual C++ with which i made an executable file and when i open the executable it crashes. Does anyone know how to solve this problem Lilly Brian Kramer wrote: As Set Project Properties->C/C++->General->Debug Information Format->Program Database for Edit and Continue (/Zi) Just a small correction: Use /Zi as Brian wrote, but the setting is not "Program Database for Edit and Continue". This would be /ZI. Use /Zi (Program Database). This is sufficient for getting the smallest executable with the program database. ...Show All

• Visual C# Using C++ Interop in C#...... Help....

  Using 2005 Express of C++ and C# I want to use the STL and STD in VC++ in C# by Interop. I develop a uncompleted commercial app in C++ because I want the flexablity of C# on developing custom components, but I want to use the power of C++ to pass variable to and from C++. Does anyone know of an example using C++ as the interop in C# I am new to interop and if I had an example that would speed up the learning curve. Thanks for you help!...

• .NET Development Cannot find member name System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError

  [reposted from newsgroups] Hello, We've got a WinForm application that uses remoting to connect to our servers. Fairly recently, we've started seeing the above error instead of the SqlException we should be getting. I've found one thread through google that seems to be about this problem, but the post that supposedly solves it is no longer available and the KB article for hotfix 887549 doesn't mention this particular error. The problem appears to be that Windows Server 2003 SP1 installs a newer version of System.data.dll than XP has. XP: 7/15/2004 - 1.1.4322.2032 Server: 3/24/2005 - 1.1.4322.2300 Any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't instrument project targets for ASP.NET performance session?

  I create a new ASP.NET performance session and point it at my web application directory (i.e. not using IIS). Now, I can sucessfully get performance data for the web site itself, but I cannot seem to get performance data for any other project assemblies I've configured for instrumentation. At first I noticed that it was instrumenting the project assemblies in their respective project \bin directory as opposed to my web site's \bin directory. Then I tried using target binaries and selected my assemblies directly from the web site's \bin dir, but that didn't help either (and also doesn't seem like the right thing to do). So... any clues ...Show All
