• Visual Studio How can I sign my VSI package ?

  I created a project template, a couple of Item Templates and some code snippets to make it easier for developpers to use our framework. I packaged them into a VSI file which works perfectly. During the install I get a warning that the VSI is not signed. I can't see any publisher information in the Visual Studio Content Installer. I would like to sign my VSI but I can't find a way to do this. extra info: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185314.aspx thanks in advance First, you should download and install the powertoys from http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ccipowertoys .

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Porting/debug woes

  I got past the compile errors from the move to Nov bits, but things are not all there that were there in the application using the Sept bits.  Controls are missing that are in the XAML file. It looks like my immediate issue is the control library assembly finding the resource dictionary.  In the old template the file generic.xaml contained the resource dictionary for the assembly.  In the Nov bits the assembly attributes for locating the resource dictionary have changed to using ResourceDictionaryLocation.  Apparently the file name has changed or I am missing a piece to locate the file.  I tried to create a new contr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to turn off Overflow Checks?!?

  Is there any good reason for not having the ability to turn off overflow checks in VB.NET Express I know that this is an "advanced" option, but lots of common code code doing some binary operations will break and not be usable for beginners to run and study . That's pretty bad IMHO. There's the workaround of course by putting the "RemoveIntegerChecks" XML element in the vsproj file manually, but why all this pain, Microsoft, why Thanks for listening! Go ahead and purchase the more advanced IDE: Standard or professional if you really need this feature. VBExpress is a tool designed for beginners, who may n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Persist paramter values after initial request Visual studio 2005.

  I have a report that requires parameters. After the intial prompt for values, the report appears properly. If you then click on any control, the report appears with no data, as if the paramters are null. I am persisting the report document by using a session variable. I am loading the session variable in the page_init event. I'm not having any trouble persisting the database connection information using this method, so I wonder if there is some other problem happening with the parameters. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200), .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727. Thanks for any help ...Show All

• .NET Development ASP.NET PDF Document Library Online

  Hello. I need to develop a library of PDF files, organized into several projects and, in some cases, sub-projects. The specification is that ASP.NET will be used to develop this web application and that it will be accessible in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Thank you in advance for any help. It is more difficult to write the code in ASP because there is no server control like a listbox. But you can write a code that generates a loop of ADO recordset data rea ...Show All
