• Visual C++ Need help circumventing compiler bug on C2665

  I've run into a bug in the compiler that's preventing me from building. I have a class with two constructors which are clearly totally from each other: ColumnDrawInfo( const CString& inLabel , COLORREF inText, HFONT inFont, UINT inTextAlignment = DT_LEFT); ColumnDrawInfo( UINT inLabel , COLORREF inText, HFONT inFont, UINT inTextAlignment = DT_LEFT); But when I try to create an instance with that second constructor the compiler fails: error C2665: 'ColumnTreeContainer::ColumnDefinition::ColumnDefinition' : none of the 2 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'UINT' could be 'ColumnTreeContainer::ColumnDefinition::ColumnDefinition(c ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.Net 2005 & VSS 6.0

  Sorry, I could not find an answer to this already... Will Visual Studio .NET 2005 (Professional ed.) work with Visual Source Safe 6.0   Has anyone attempted this with a beta version Actually, remote and delete propagation will work, but only from client -> database. Synchronizing deletes/renames using Get dialog will not work (propagation database -> client) as it requires new functionality in the provider. Another thing that will only work halfway is getting new files added in the database for web projects. VSS 6.0 has no capabilities of enumerating new folders in the database through MSSCCI functions used by VisualStu ...Show All

• Visual Studio DSL and XMI interchange format

  Hi, Good day! I have a general question regarding the interoperability between Microsoft DSL tools and other general purpose modeling tools that supports UML/XMI. On one hand, since UML could be customized towards different domains/platforms through UML profiles, we can view such UML Profiles as DSLs targed for different domains/platforms. More importantly, such DSLs are defined through standard UML and could be imported/exported through XMI format. On the other hand, Microsoft DSL is defined through DSL designer definition (dsldd) format, which is based on the Microsoft Data Framework (MDF). I know that UML Metamodel (UML superstructure) i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextFile online

  is there any better and faster way to get the content of an "Online-Textfile" then: You will have to consider what is actually taking time. There is some thing you are not able to control in this case. The time it takes to establish a connection to the server The time it takes to request the file from the server The time it takes to transfer the contents of the file This is probably what takes 20 seconds and you should be able to measure it by taking the time it takes to step from the DL.DownloadFile() line to the next. If it is about 20 seconds than that is where your bottleneck is. If this is the case your application can most li ...Show All

• SQL Server Calendar slow to load

  Is anyone else experiencing performance problems with reports that use the calendar control for date parameters   Whenever we load a report that uses a calendar it takes several seconds to fully load the form (you can see something like this in the status bar:"...ReportViewerWebControl.axd OpType=Calendar...").  This is not a serious problem, but if the user tries to use the control before it fully loads then the page throws javascript errors.  I am wondering if this is a  issue with the report itself or the server configuration, or if it is just something we have to live with.
