• Visual Studio Tools for Office Merged Word Menus are not accessible after creating new word project

  Hi, I created a new word project from within the Visual Studio IDE. I noticed, that the merged word menus are not accesible, although most of the word functions are accessible via toolbar or context menu. Is this a bug or did i miss any settings Thanks, Klaus   Yes, it is. But the hard way. I had to reinstall my System, and now everything works fine. Since I participated in the beta tests of vs, I think that it simply was time to "renew" my machine. I had something like 20 installations/deinstallations of vsts during the last 6 months, and even I knew the right deinstalla ...Show All

• SQL Server Are dynamic stored procedures possible?

  Please excuse my ignorance but I'm new to T-SQL and am having a problem.  I have a proc that I want to send three parameters too, but only have it search on the paramters if they are valid (above 0).  In the following example I am filtering on County, Town and Type.  But only want to filter if the value of the parameter is included.  So if they only pass in county, then thats all I want to filter on. Any ideas CREATE PROCEDURE FeatureBusinessByTown @County int, @Town int, @Type int AS Select Top 5 BusinessID FROM SELECT TOP 5 fbisBusinessLookup.BusinessID FROM fbisBusinessLookup INNER JOIN DIRECTORY ON fbisBusinessLookup ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SQL Extensions

  Will the DLINQ implementation be opened enough that we can extend available extension methods to add new ones given we provide the SQL equivalent On LINQ I could easily add: extracted from Jomo Fisher's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fisher/archive/2005/09/15/467804.aspx public static class MyExtensions {   public static int SumSquares( this IEnumerable< int > values)   {     int sum = 0;     foreach ( int i in values) sum += i;     return sum;   } }   A DLINQ equivalent could be something like: public static class MyExtensions {   public sta ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Visual Studio 2005 beta to product C# application that does not rely on .net v2 beta

  I have written a little application in visual studio 2005 beta in C#.  It works fine on my machine after build but will not work on any others as it comes with this error: "To run this application, you must install one of the following versions of the .Net Framework: v2.0.50215 Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .Net Framework." How do I compile the application to use .Net 1.1 Im not doing anything that require .Net 2.0 thanks The fact that you're compiling on VS2005 means you're compiling against C# 2.0.  There's no reason why the compiler would parse your code ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Studio.Net 2005; Visual Basic.Net; Windows Generated Code

  How is the Windows generated code accessed It no longer shows up as outline in code window as it did in previous versions of Visual Studio. Thanks for any response... I've not experienced issues like that myself so far, but then I haven't used 2005 too much yet. I guess I should qualify what I said with the fact that, while in theory it is a bad idea to edit the generated code, sometines it is a necessary evil. Maybe this is not the place to say so but I think VS 2005 may have been released prematurely and developers are beavering away to release a service pack on the actual date that the app itself woul ...Show All

• SQL Server Attach Database problem

  I am trying to attach a database as part of my overall application distribution. After installing Express when my .NET app first starts it atempts to attach the database using EXEC sp_attach_db etc... This used to work fine with MSDE 2000 but now the database is being attached as read-only. If I then use Management Studio to manually detach and attach the database it is fine. Any ideas why this is happening please Wow! Thank you all!

• Windows Forms Updating data files

  Hi all, I have a winforms app that I want to deploy via clickonce, largely because there are 3 large xml data files that will be periodically updated. These files are lookup only, and WILL NOT change on the client. First, I'm running the RTM of visual studio, not beta or RC in case that makes a difference. Now, when data is changed in a table on our sql server db, a trigger will force these xml files to be recreated, and then the files must be re-deployed so that the client receives the updated lookups. I've looked at two ways to do this... Mage, and using MSBuild so that the trigger can just call a batch and have everything done. When using ...Show All

• Visual C++ Version 6??

  My son is teaching himself game programming in C++. The books he is using all work with C++ version 6. Can we still get C++ version 6, or does this matter Any assistance will be gratefully received! Alternatively, you might use the downloadable Express version (as per the links above), and searching online for some "Teach Yourslef"-type tutorials, downloading them, and doing it that way (as opposed to buying / using a book). Personally, apart from mandatory university books from a long time ago, I've never bought a computing book, and whilst I've occasionally used an odd one from work, I've done m ...Show All

• .NET Development Can u use a SQL Server 2003 db within a vb web dev 2005 express application?

  Hello, I have a SQL Server 2003 database that I would like to use within a web dev 2005 express application I created. Is this possible I keep getting this error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) And I think it's because I don't have a SQL Server 2005 DB, but a 2003 instead.....or am I just clueless (because I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason) ...Show All
