• SQL Server Custom component seems to un-register itself?

  I've run into this a second time now. I'm hoping for some resolution AND guidance for proper build, save, etc. protocols in BIDS. I've coded a custom component, included post-build procedures to add it to the GAC, selected it from the "Choose Items..." menu, and successfully added to a data flow. I've then been able to succesfully debug it. This was all Friday afternoon. I shut down my BIDS session(s) and called it a week. This morning when I open BIDS, I get the following error when I attempt to add it to a data flow task: TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ The component could not be added to the Data ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Insufficient Memory Exception

  Hi, We are working on word customization using VSTO 2005. We binded a XML Schema. We allow user to insert List and List Item tags. When user insert a List Item Tag, we need to insert bullets or numbered lists before the List Item Tags. We are inserting programmatically by something like this, Word.XMLNode listNode; // listNode is the parent node to which child nodes we will be applying bullets object index=1; continuePreviousList=false; applyTo = Word.

• .NET Development RPC/literal services?

  I'm trying to use an RPC/literal web service using the express edition of Visual C# 2005. I can load the WSDL just fine, generate code that properly calls the web service, but the response object is always null. I know it's parsing the XML because if I change the service URL to one that responds with malformed XML, I get an exception. Examining the XML coming back, I cannot see anything wrong with it. Also, Apache Axis 1.3 is able to use the service with no problems at all, but the C# client just returns null with no errors. I tried to step into the service call in the debugger, but it doesn't let me step into the code, it just skips over th ...Show All

• Visual C++ including dshow.h compiles not with /clr but with /clr:oldSyntax

  Hello, can somebody tell why I get 103 errors with /clr and none with /clr:oldSyntax when I include the dshow header file. I would like to use the new syntax. Win32 console app generated by VC Express with line added to include dshow.h #include "stdafx.h" #include <dshow.h> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {     return 0; } Regards, stax You have nailed down the problem: the new C++/CLI syntax is (as its name indicates) just now being released with Visual Studio 2005. Thus, the code inside the SDK from VS 2003 is written using the old syntax and cannot be compiled without t ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing deleted row information

  I have a strongly typed dataset 'A' with a Customer datatable and data. I create a new instance of the same dataset ('B') with same table structure and import selected rows into the 'B' Customer datatable from dataset 'A' Customer datatable. I pass dataset B to a method that deletes a row in dataset 'B' Customer datatable and now want to mark the row as deleted in dataset 'A' customer datatable. What is the best way to do that I thought I could loop through the Customer B rows, find rows with row state = deleted, find them in Customer A and delete them. However, this process throws an exception that the deleted row is inaccessibl ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Compiler heap error - help!

  For the last week I have been having a bizarre problem in VS. If I double-click on a windows forms control it does not take me to the event code, but if I double-click a 2nd time it does.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 and 2005 - Same Physical Server

  Hello, We have a server running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on a Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server. Can we install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on the same box I'm assuming that so long as the instance names are different that it should not be a problem. Has anyone already done this Any problems Thanks a bunch. You can do that so long as they are on a different instance names. One word of caution - when installing SQL Server 2005 on a machine with SQL Server 2000 installed, you can use the default instance. But this will do an in-place upgrade on your SQL Server 2000 default instance. So be very, very careful on do ...Show All
