• Visual Studio Express Editions Unable to do practicly anything in VB beta2

  Hi there, I'm Ehud, first time here (kind of a newbie...) I have a REALLY BIG problem with the VB beta 2 - since I installed it, I couldn't design forms or build my project (beta 1 projects or even a new form in a new project made in beta 2). When I tried to build one of my recent beta 1 projects, it failed and showed me 11 warnings and errors. When opening a form's designer, a critical messagebox appeared and said :"Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsRunningDocumentTable2' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'."

• SQL Server add date range filter - brand newbie to reporting services

  I've used report wizard to create a report - one of the fields in the report is a date field. I simply want a From Date: and To Date: filter which enables a user to select a range of dates to filter results. I know how to do this in .Net, but am not sure how to achieve this in RS. If anyone could shed some light, or point me to an thread which describes a similar process, I'd appreciate it. thx If you are using Visual Studio then for the data source your query should be just like a stored procedure with a parm... Select col1, col2 From tbl1 Where col1 = @parm1 When you open the report in Report Manager it should have a s ...Show All

• Visual C++ Again with COM

  Hello there, I have a DLL that uses a COM object . I just #import <typelib> and have an exported function void Function (ObjectPtr &A); I instantiate the Object from VB6 and I call the DLL with that object. Everything works , and I'm happy :) Now, I need to do the same thing from .NET . I can't recompile the DLL in mixed mode, so I can't write a "direct wrapper". I Import the TLB in VS.NET and I get a wrapper for the COM object. Now the question: I'm not able to get the "true" COM object from the .NET wrapper. Is there a way to get , at least, the IUnknow * (non-managed) interface of the COM object so I can pass ...Show All

• Windows Forms Forcing a virtual DataGridView to refresh its Cell values

  I have a virtual DataGridView that has a data cache behind it. Sometimes I update the values in the cache programatically and I want to be able to tell the DataGridView to refresh the cells. That is, for it to trigger the CellValueNeeded event. Currently I just make a call to DataGridView.Refresh() which invalidates the entire DataGridView and repaints it - which includes triggering the CellValueNeeded event. There are problems with this though. Firstly, it seems a somewhat brute force method. I don't really need to repaint the whole thing... Secondly, I have had intermittent Nullreference exceptions down in the GDI layer when I do a refresh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Converting Add-In (7.1->8.0)

  I am attempting to convert an Add-In from a previous version of Visual Studios, 7.1, to be used with VS8.0. I am also trying to keep it compatable with 7.1. I have been trying to work through just the IDispatch interface to find functions such as "get_Item" from a collection like:     pCommandBars->get_Item(index, &pMenubar); Where in my version both pCommandbars and pMenubar are IDispatch interfaces and "get_Item" would be called through the pCommandBars->Invoke(...) function.  Is it possible to perform all the Command/CommandBar/CommandBars methods through the IDispatch in this way Or is there a completely si ...Show All

• Windows Forms Please help with "Not a member of" error

  I recently upgraded from Visual Basic Express 2005 to Visual Studio 2005 beta2 and the project I'm working on, which had no errors in VB Express2005, now has all sorts of errors in VS2005.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! Here's the code, which was "auto generated" <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _ Public Sub New () ...Show All

• .NET Development Debugging first sample - Get login screen on browser

  I've been writing a menu control from scratch since I want to learn everything I can about the drawing namespaces.  Well I've got a pretty nice menu control, but I've hit a snag now that I've to the actual menu items.  The menu's will display fine, but since the menu items draw outside of the controls bounds all I see is just the top line of the menu item rectangle.  I tried to make the menu items their own control, but I can't seem to get the Paint event to fire correctly and display the menu items.  Has anyone else attempted to do a control like this and if so how did you solve this problem Thanks in advance, Brandon ...Show All

• Visual Studio concatenate datestamp to logfile name

How can i concatenate datestamp to the logfile name msbuild.exe MSBuildCommunity.proj /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=MSBuild.log i want logfile name to be MSBuild_yyyymmdd.log thanks There's no way to do this with our built-in file logger. You'd need to either write a custom logger that knows how to do this (the "correct" way) or wrap the call to MSBuild in some sort of script that knows how to find the current date and append it to the command line (the "cheap and easy" way).
