• Visual Studio Team System Trouble getting Team Explorer in VS 2005 RC1 installation.

  I have installed TFS Beta 3. When I installed VS2005 RC1 on the server machine, it has Team Explorer. But when I did what I actually wanted to do, which was install RC1 on a different machine, it lacks the Team Explorer, connect to team foundation server menu item, etc. Based on older posts on this forum, I installed the Team Foundation Client from the TFS Beta 3 bits to see if this "plugged in" the missing items. The install said it was successful, but I still see no signs of Team features in my Visual Studio. Thanks in advance for any help, John Rhoads Does anyone know if there is an alternative ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce, Application Settings and Configurations

  Is it possible to have one set of application settings for the debug version of a windows app and another set for the release version Some of the settings in my app include things that change between environments such as URLs and database servers. It would be great to specify the live settings for the release version of my app and have them deployed through clickonce whilst still keeping my development set of settings for when I'm working on the debug version. If not is there another way to achieve this Don't really want to have to go back to Windows Installer and custom install actions. TIA John. ...Show All

• .NET Development LoaderOptimization.MultiDomain incompatible with generics?

  Hello, I experience a  FileLoadException (Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401)) very difficult to understand. I have done a dummy project to reproduce it. It is at the end.   The conjunction of the following things leads to this problem: - 2 AppDomain application (composed with only one exe in my dummy application) - LoaderOptimization.MultiDomain for the second AppDomain - MarshalByRefObject created with CreateInstanceAndUnwrap - Trying to access remotely to a property of the MBR that itself contains a generic List instantiated with a custom type (e. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Unbound ComboBox or ListBox - Keys and values

  Hi! I have just found out that when using combobox or listbox without binding to a datasource, you can't add items with key and value so you cant get the SelectedText and SelectedValue properties! You could do that in VB6 and now you can't! Is this true! ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with DLL MFC initialization in mixed managed/unmanaged C++

  Good afternoon newsgroup, I'm having a MFC initialization problem in my mixed C++ DLL, after switching from VS 2003 to 2005. I've done the migration from 2003 to 2005 by the book, and my DLLs load fine. Anyway, the static CWinApp-Object is initialized, but not filled correctly. I can debug through the constructor, but the m_hInstance member will be NULL. That's a big problem later when I'm calling an exported method on the DLL which should return some resources which are stored in the DLL. I cannot change the instance-context (as the m_hInstance is NULL). I already added AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); to the beginning of the ex ...Show All

• SQL Server RS 2005, VS 2005 and specifying printer trays

  I am trying to build a demo to prove the following can be done with SQL 2005 Reporting Services: 1. Export report as .pdf to file location. - Done 2.

• .NET Development selecting network interfaces

  Hello everyone, I have been trying to find a way to activate/inactivate network cards in .NET, kinda like ifconfig up and ifconfig down on Linux. The reason is that I simply don't want Windows to automatically choose one interface over the other and use this, but to decide for myself. Is there any good way to do this in .NET I found that IP Helper API can list all interfaces, but it does not seem to be able to manage them. Thanks a lot for any tips! / Roland Here is some sample c++ code that I have used in some of out testing.  It enables and disables all network adapters on the machine.  I realize ...Show All
