• SQL Server System.Data.Sql

  Hi, I'm digging through BOL to understand the main reasons the System.Data.Sql namespace is required for CLR.  It isn't in the documentation yet as of June CTP (as far as I can find). Anyone have light to shed on this Thanks, Joe Here is the BOL link: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/denet9/html/c73e628a-f54a-411a-bfe3-6dae519316cc.htm...  Is this true The reference is: The system.data.dll assembly contains the following namespaces, which are required for compiling CLR database objects: System.Data System.Data.Sql Microsoft.SqlServer.Server System.Data.SqlTypes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Register for COM Interop

  What is this checkbox in the compile properties dialog supposed to do It adds a <RegisterForComInterop>true</RegisterForComInterop> to the project. I searched through all the Microsoft targets, but the property is not referenced anywhere. I assumed it would execute a target when building that would preform all the necessary steps for me register the DLL for COM. When I build through the IDE, nothing happens either in terms of registering the DLL for the COM Interop. I was just wondering what this checkbox was for, since it does not seem to impact the build behavior in any way. Never mind the ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Configuration and extensible configurations

  Hi there, I am developing an application that needs to provide an extensible architecture so that new functionality can be added using plug-ins.  This is fairly simple using .NET 2.0.  The problem I'm having is providing an extensible configuration model that works with .NET 2.0's System.Configuration namespace. An example of what I'm doing for configuration follows: <stuff_to_do>      <task type="MyClassLibrary.Task1, MyClassLibrary">           <configuration url=" http://www.google.com" />      </task ...Show All

• Visual C++ implementaion of unwinding

  I have troubles finding information on this subject, so I'll try to ask here: What kind of unwinding mechanism implementation is used by VC8.0 Is it the same old and slow 'update structure on the stack while we go' (like it was up to VC7.1) Or MS finally decides to go after GCC & others by separating successfull execution path on compile stage (which is significantly more efficient) Bye. Sincerely yours, Michael. (1)(a) " __try/__catch instead of range checks " -- just as before: I hope you know what you are doing. Invalid data usage results not only in AV or DIV -- it could also results in memory ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem creating a parallel version of the ForEach example activity

  I am trying to create a custom activity that is similar to the ForEach example posted in the custom activity gallery: http://www.windowsworkflow.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx Control=2222&tabindex=2   The code below is basically modifications to that sample (i.e. the activity inherits from CompositeActivity, etc.) The difference is that I want the set of activities executed to be done in parallel rather than serially. I’ve been trying to figure out how to accomplish it but have been running into some (perhaps naive) problems. The code looks like the following:   private void ExecuteChild( ActivityEx ...Show All

• Windows Forms Possible bug's in listbox vb.net 2003

• Windows Forms how to get other behavior in a textbox when it is focused

  I am trying to modify the behavior of the text in a textbox right after it has gotten the focus. As now (default), the text in the textbox gets a blue bakground when the textbox recieves focus, but I want some other behavior instead. How should I go about this I have tried to override the OnEnter and OnGotFocus methods in the Textbox, but still the text is highlighted with blue upon recieving focus...    How exactly would you like to change its behaviour Customizing the textbox is very hard, often impossible, since the behaviour is hidden deep down into Windows code and hardly customizable. ...Show All
