• Visual C++ Linker PRJ0002 error

  I am now getting the following error virtually every time I link (VC++ 2003): pwbGEClient : error PRJ0002 : error result returned from 'link.exe'. There are no LNK* errors or warnings.  Furthermore, there appears to be no problem with the link itself - the executable it builds runs correctly and always has my latest changes. I used the build log to assemble a call to link.exe from the command line, and captured its process exit code.  It is returning 6, and this causes the PRJ0002. What does 6 mean   Unfortunately I don't. Upgrading would be a nontrivial exercise in o ...Show All

• SQL Server does "with (nolock)" absolutely guarantee no locks are taken?

  I need to run a few short-running queries against a production system. I need to be absolutely certain that SS doesn't take out any locks on the table as a result. Does "with (nolock)" absolutely guarantee this I've read BOL on the topic and I understand isolation level read-uncommitted. But I want to validate that there's not any undocumented behavior in SS that might violate the documentation (which clearly states that no shared locks are issued). Thanks! You're talking two different things. with (nolock) is a HINT. That means there is a possibility that SS will override it. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL ...Show All

• Visual C# Threading in C#

  Hello Everyone, I have a tab application, which initially I made single threaded....I added a dll which has a form. Now when I change to a tab method in that dll gets fired and form comes up, which makes everything else unresponsive.... Whats the best solution to implement thread to solve that problem.... Secondly, I tried doing something this way..... namespace something { public partial class Some : Form { public Some() { } // Then here more procedures } // Here I created another class which fires the method from dll.... public partial class Test { public DLLFire() { } } Now If i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) A question on xbap

  When I open a xbap (formally wab) in IE, a progress bar is displayed indicating that the application is being download and the application will be loaded after the download ended. Since the WPF Jan. CTP has been installed on my machine, I am wondering what will happen if there is no WPF installed on the client machine. Does it promopt the end user to download the .NET Framework 2.0 and corresponding WPF Components Thanks! Gotcha, you are talking about the IE7, then how about the pre-WINFX builds of IE, aka IE5, IE6 I believe what the original poster wants to know is the situation on IE5 or IE6, that can make more sense. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web test failing RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid.

  All webtests I run from VS2005 RTM are failing with a response of: RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid.

• Visual C# Generics Question

  I am just starting to work a bit with generics and ran into a little snag. I have a list object that inherits from bindinglist and I implemented a constraint of LabeledRowCollection. The code looks like this: public abstract class ItemList <T> : BindingList <T> where T : LabeledRowCollection , new () What I am trying to do now is have ItemList implement the IBindingListView Interface, but I can't get it to work. If I try: public abstract class ItemList <T> : IBindingListView, BindingList <T> where T : LabeledRowCollection , new () I get a compile error that says the BindingList declar ...Show All

• Windows Forms Order events are fired in form

  I don't know if I'm perhaps following bad coding practice, but here we go: I've got an application that is dynamically opening child forms. In the form_Load event for one of my forms, I am populating some combo boxes. That works beautifully. Here's where it gets interesting: The combo boxes have sorts and filters applied when they are loaded. All three combo boxes are related to each other. I would like to figure out a way to change the text showing in the other 2 combo boxes whenever a user selects (or types) something in one of the other two combo boxes. This would be done using a combobox.findString with a string based on a query to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug? generic Dictionary as Property

  I exposed a Dictionary<string,string> as a property named MI of a custom activity. The code generator messes up the whole workflow afterwards, translating the dictionary to: System.Collections.Generic. Dictionary < string , string > dictionary`21 = new System.Collections.Generic. Dictionary < string , string >(); in the InitializeComponent of the Workflow. The '21 is of course an illegal character combination and the code has to be manually fixed afterwards. The versions of the deployed assemblies of the Workflow Foundation are at version 3.0.03603.4. To reproduce simply creat ...Show All
