• Visual Studio Package didn't get reload when openning an existing project.

  I have a package that privdes my own project type and some commands. I need to query the status and enable my commands accordingly when the package gets loaded. I did it by following VS documentation to create OleMenuCommandService in Initialize function. It works when I create a new project. But when I open an existing one, the package doesn't get loaded until you do something, then my commands didn't get enabled when it should be. I don't wan ...Show All

• Visual Studio crystal reports and .net resource files

  I am a complete newbie when it comes to crystal reports. I am working on a project where I am going to make 3 realatively simple reports. However, the application is multilingual. I'd rather not make one report for each language (I just made one, and it was a drag to format because it is realtively crammed with infomation), so I am looking for a way to dynamically read from a resource file into my crystal reports. Is this possible If it is, how ...Show All

• SQL Server Design of tables with large optional fields?

  I have a general SQL design-type question. I want to log errors to a table. If the error is with a URL, I want to store the URL. These URLs can be very large, hundreds of characters, but I only need to store it if it causes the error, which should be very infrequent. Which is the better design: Create a large varchar field in the log table to hold the URL, or null if the error wasn't with the URL. Create a foreign key field in t ...Show All

• Architecture Serviced component architecture issues (State management/ OOD).

  I've seen serviced components abused and misused due to inherent limitations in how COM operates and now I’m looking to architect a web based, OO, n-tier system and wish to avoid the same mistakes. In my system there are two architectural problems: Much of the data is common across users, complex and potentially quite large, which leads to a large number of objects when using standard OOD (not so good for COM as I understand ...Show All
