It also givs me a warning that " Assembly ' FolderName\FileName.exe ' is incorrectly specified as a file. Any suggestions would be helpful. 1. Yes, there is a database project in the solution. 2.

• Windows Forms Application.ExecutablePath gives strange info

  Hi, I am trying to use the Application.ExecutablePath to find the executable path of my app and it gives me the following C:\\Programme\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\Common7\\IDE\\vctesthost.exe when running the debugger.  This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting the bin directory of where my application is built Is this normal Because you are querying this under a unit test, you are actually getting the application that is hosting the unit tests, in this case, VSTestHost.exe. There are some things that are hard to test and these are one of them.  I would probably abstract the Application.ExecutablePath into anoth ...Show All

• .NET Development Incorporating multiple files into an Object in Word.

  I have recently learned how to render XML documents using XSLT stylesheets. What I have also done is to create another html page that uses javascript to load the xml document and apply the stylesheet entirely on the client side. The reason I am doing this is so that I can embedd these files into Word documents. However, what I don't know how to do and whether it is possible is to merge all 3 documents into one object, so when a user double clicks on the object they will be shown the XHTML document in a rendered format on their browser. So, the files would be: file.xml style.xsl render.html (contains the javascript to load the p ...Show All

• .NET Development Open 'Select Data source' in VB.Net

  Hi, everybody. I'm trying to migrate a VB6 application to VB.Net. This app connects to a SQL Server Database via RDO. In the new .Net app I'm chaging all RDO references to System.Data namespace. However, in the original VB6 application, the user could change the current database by selecting a new data source: The app opens the 'select data source window' by using the rdoEnvironment.OpenConnection: rdoEnvironment.OpenConnection("", RDO.PromptConstants.rdDriverPrompt, False, "") Since I'm using System.Data namespace instead of RDO, previous statement is useless in VB.Net. Any ideas about how to achieve that in VB.Net Thanks In Advanc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Analysis check-in policy and Unit test projects

  We have enabled "Code Analysis" as a check-in policy for our Team Project. We have also created Unit tests. When we are about the check-in the Unit test projects the Team Foundation Server prompts us to run Code Analysis on the projects, so we enabled the Code Analysis on the Unit test projects.
