• Visual C# ? VS2005: Where did Class View->Add->Override go ?

  In Visual Studio 2003, you can use Class View to navigate to a virtual member of a base class, then right-click that member and choose Add|Override. In Visual Studio 2005, this is not available. Where did it go Is there an alternative and equally convenient way of doing it # Thanks! Matthew - In VS2005, you can use a feature called IntelliSense on Override to generate this same behavior. In the derived class (where you want to add an override for the virtual member in the base class), type "override" and then hit <space>.  IntelliSense will show a completion list with all the available member ...Show All

• SQL Server How to create a new named instance

  Hi, I did install SQL-server developer edition. During the installation it asked me the name of de instance. I let the installation create the default Named instance. Now I want to add an instance with a new name. What is the best way to do this Is this the same as creating a Notification service Doeb No other way than that...but when you distribute your app, depending on what you're using for SQL Server editions, you can perform unattended installations that name your instance the way you like automatically. Guess I'd need more info on what you're doing here to give you any further assistance... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Data source disappears in windows form designer

  I have set up a connection with sql express database. In designer view for my dataset the data source files show up but when I switch to designer view for my windows form, the data sources disappear in the data source window. Why is this. Also, regarding updating database files as discussed in in another thread here will MS have a fix for this later.

• Visual C++ Program runs slower when compiled with Visual Studio 2005 (in Release with optimization)

  Hey, I have a performance problem with the new Visual Studio 2005. My code (which is a genetic algorithm) is 3 times slower when compiled under Visual Studio 2005 compared to when I was compiling it under Visual Studio 2003. With Visual Studio 2003, it used to run in 3.0639 seconds, and now it runs in 9.0031 seconds. I run both code in Release. I tried every optimization option, and adding the /D_SECURE_SCL=0 compiler command to the project options with only minor differences. Is there any other way to get back to the speed Visual Studio 2003 It is a bit absurd to upgrade to a new compiler and get lesser performances. Thanks a lot!!! Antoine ...Show All
