• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) xaml in IE6 only animates on startup screen on multimonitor

  I'm wondering if this is just a problem with my setup or if others have this problem. If you have a multi-monitor setup Take a xaml file like this: < StackPanel xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " TextBlock.FontSize = " 18pt " > < UniformGrid Rows = " 3 " Columns = " 3 " Width = " 450 " > < Button Content = " Button 1234 " /> < Button Content = " Button 1234 " /> < Button ...Show All

• SQL Server Run entire package

  Hello, i have a problem that i don't understand why it occurs: i have a package like this (resumed and ordered by its correspondingdata flow): 1. move data files to a path through by a file system task 2. import data of data files to a sqlserver database (each file through its own data flow ).

• .NET Development Possible bug? FileIOPermission failed

  I think the following code should throw an SecurityException if I run the code from a network path. But it does not. try {     FileIOPermission perm = new FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);     perm.Demand(); } catch (SecurityException ex) {     MessageBox.Show("Sorry, you can only run this application from your local disk.", "Security Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);     return ; }   And another problem I found is that I do not need to call Demand() to let SecurityException be thrown. Look at the following code: FileIOPermission p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source control for non.NET environment

  We have several COBOL programmers that store their source code in a home-grown source control system. Their filenames are a max of 8 characters; no file extensions are recognized, and it's not COBOL.NET so many of the features in TFS would be wasted on this code. Still, I'm trying to integrate their code with TFS so we have a company-wide source code control system Here's how I integrated their source code: 1. I created a .NET project 2. I added a new folder under this project, just to house their source control (to isolate their code from .NET files) 3. I created a new Team Project 4. I added the Solution in 1) to TFS So ...Show All

• .NET Development inline query vrs sqlcommand duration

  Hi, I am migrating a client-server application to a N-tier using webservices. Now client connect to the server using webservices which execute queries to a SQL Server 2000 database. The old application was using inline queries (" WHERE CustomerId = '" + customerId +"'";.... Now I am using SqlCommands but I have detected a real slow down in the performance, running a query that retrieves 7000 records for example it takes upto 16 seconds more than older application. I suspected that was because of the XML serialization so I moved to remoting with binary serialization and reduced the time to 8 seconds, still way too ...Show All

• Visual C++ vc++8.0 bug: access violation upon call of any CImageList methods

  I have sucessfully imported and compiled a complex MFC 6.0 project from vc++6.0  into vc++ 8.0 (MFC 8.0). It contains several subprojects (libs and dlls). In vc++ 6.0 those project linked MFC6.0 statically and after I imported it to vc++ 8.0 I set the linkage of MFC8.0 to "shared".

This happnes whenever I call any of the CImageList methods. When I comment out all lines that call mehtods of CImageList everything work fine in release mode too.

• Visual C# Using C# with Visual C++.Net

  I have Visual C++.net 7.0 installed on my PC, but would like to try C#. Is there a way I can integrate the free C# compiler and tools available in the .NET SDK into Visual Studio so I can use it from there Thanks for the replies, guys. The reason I was asking is I want to use SoftWire (www.softwire.com), which needs Visual C#.Net or Visual Basic.Net. All I have is VC++.Net, so I wanted to integrate the C# stuff into Visual Studio to let me run Softwire. Doesn't look like it's possible though. ...Show All
