• Windows Forms Problems downloading ClickOnce deployment

  The users of my ClickOnce app are having trouble downloading it. Here's an sample log. I saw something like that myself once, and the problem went away after I deleted my temporary internet files.

• .NET Development FileSystemWatcher Service doesnot detect changes when folder containing the file is deleted.

  I am using the FileSystemWatcher Service to monitor xml files within sub folders in a root folder. The problem that I am having is that when I delete the folder within the root folder which contains the xml file, the delete event does not seem to be fired. It works fine when I delete the xml file itself. here is the code. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. watchfolder.Path=WEBDest; watchfolder.IncludeSubdirectories = true ; watchfolder.Filter="*.xml"; //watchfolder.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite //| NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName | NotifyFilters.Siz ...Show All

• .NET Development VS2005 XSLT Debugging with external functions?

  Hi Currently we use visualxslt a plugin that does xslt debugging in vs2003 but from the look of it vs2005's version works a little nicer but.. . We extensively use EXSLT.net, which is a custom xslt processor that inherirts the .net one and adds new functions for xslt. It there anyway to get VS2005 to use this custom assebly to debug with Thanks Brian Norman We will be releasing EXSLT.NET for .NET 2.0 really soon, in a week or so. Then you will be able to debug your stylesheets in VS 2005 for sure. Obviously you would need to start debugging from code, by stepping into Transform() method. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server setup: where to find?

  I cannot find TFS setup files at the Microsoft | VolumeLicensing (we have "all" MS licenses) site. The best match is "VStudio Team Suite 2005 Win32 English Disk Kit MVL CD"; but there is nothing about Team Foundation Server... I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but if you have access to MSDN subscriber downloads, you can find it under Developer Tools -> Visual Studio 2005 -> English -> Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server -> Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - Beta 3 Refresh.

• SQL Server How to search all columns in a table at once?

  This is a true newbie question. I want to search an entire table for a string. Is there a way to do the equivalent of: SELECT * from <db.table> WHERE(*) LIKE '%<some string>%' The WHERE(*) is my attempt to say search all columns. That's apparently not legal in SQL so my question is whether there is a legal way to do it without have to spell out the names of all the columns. This is sort of equivalent to doing a Find on a string in a text editor. Or maybe a better analogy would be to say that it's like doing a Find on a string in a spreadsheet. Here's the format you can use... SELECT * FROM myTabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to access local MSDN content

  I've installed VS2005 from the VSTS beta 2 download.  I installed to a newly-configured Virtual PC with XP sp2, avoiding installing the testing tools so I could get around error 2337.  I then installed program documentation.  After install, I can not access the local MSDN content.  If I try to launch from start, I get the message "Microsoft Document Explorer cannot be shown because the specified help collection 'ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en' is invalid."  If I try to launch from within the IDE I get "Help on Help" content only.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the setup | install documentation ...Show All

• Architecture Are interfaces for behavioral overloading only?

  This question comes from the new approaches being suggested when designing services with WCF and even ASMX 2. The approach is one that uses interfaces (or abstract classes) to focus on the method signatures and avoid diving directly into implementation when desiging services. This looks like a half-way contract first approach that is meant to help developers focus on what makes a service reusable (strong typing, message orientation, explicit method naming, etc...). Ok now my question is does this then take the concept of interface inheritance and cloudy it some. I personally favor the idea but I have a hard time convincing the OO guys tha ...Show All
