• Visual Studio How do I stop the debugger from showing code that I haven’t written?

  My issue is that I don’t want the debugger to show me code provided in the standard library i.e. the <string> class or the <stack> class ect... It’s so easy to get lost while stepping through the program. I know that I could use the jump over but I'd rather the code never showed up in the first place. Any ideas For managed-debugging, you're in luck. VS2005 has a feature called "Just-My-Code". The fx, mscorlib, stuff you don't have pdbs for is all considered "not my code" / "non-user code". You can also mark stuff as non-user code by placing a custom attribute ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Need guidance for a STS implementation

  Greetings, I am quite new to WCF, and i would like some advices about how to implement a STS. I need a STS which will issue SAML tokens based on user credentials (Username and password). I think it is pretty standard but if there is a STS SAML QuickStart in WSE3, there is none for WCF. I am still trying to figure out what is the closest sample available out there from which i could start. I don't want to use InfoCard as my services clients are Web site applications, and i am using the Jan CTP version. I have seen a Federation sample in the SDK which is using a certificate to authenticate users and also i have seen that MS released t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SVCUTIL only generates config, no proxy class

  First, let me set up my scenerio before I ask my question, because my approach to the scenario may be wrong to begin with: I have my Service Contract (interface) in a seperate DLL (MyContract.dll) than the Service implementation (MyService.dll) because I wanted to deploy the interface with the client (as well as the service) so that I can have the option to bypass the WCF Framework if my service is running on the same machine as the client. My intention is to "inject" (via spring.net or a strategy) into the client at runtime either the proxy dll or the actual service dll depending on the config. So, with the above scenari ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Required 3rd Party contol of HTML Viewer

  Currently I am using Intelliprog.Windows.Forms.HTMLViewer. But it is giving problem in its dispose Method as MissingMethod Exception. So can you please suggest another 3rd Party component. Why don't you search for one You may find something in the SDF form OpenNETCF that helps you. However, since you are using a 3rd party control, have you thought about contacting the vendor to ask your question (with a full replicable sample) Just a thought... Cheers Daniel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Fail clearing directory

  I fail in doing a very simple task. In the beginning of a target I would like to make sure that the output directory is empty. I do this with the below 2 lines that removes and creates the directory. < RemoveDir Directories = " $(OutputPath) " Condition = " Exists('$(OutputPath)') " /> < MakeDir Directories = " $(OutputPath) " /> In some rare cases it only removes the directory, but seems to forget to create it again. By Task later crashes when I try to write to the directory. Any suggestions That is exactly my problem! It works on my computer, but not on my colleague's computer (same ...Show All

• .NET Development Data Adapter Updates not happening

  I have an Infragistics grid bound to a BindingSource, that in turn is bound to a strongly typed dataset.  I want to add a row to the grid, then when the user click the OK button, save the new row back to the SQL Express database I am using. In the OK button, I have this code: this .productFeatureBrowserDataSet.Versions.AcceptChanges(); this .versionsTableAdapter.Update(      this .productFeatureBrowserDataSet.Versions );   When I click the button, the code runs, but the new grid row never gets added to the Database table.  If I break on the Update command, I can see that the Versions table ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express import of Access

       I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express on a laptop for development purposes and would like to import some Access databases that I was using coupled to programs written in VB 6.  If using SQL Server 2000 I could use the management studio to automate the import but I can not find any way to do this in Management Studio Express. Would have thought that this would be the typical migration route - Access to Server Express    Is there some way to automate this procedure Thanks     I don't think that feature is available with Express. http://www.m ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) sql table mapping per object instance?

  Hi, I have thousands of tables which have identical column definitions, each table varies by name, and each table is dynamically added. At any given time, it is unknown what the table count is. What is known is the structure of each table and the name of all tables. Is there a DLinq solution to this scenario I can only see setting the Name property of the TableAttribute for the mapped class at runtime. But, of course, the attribute allows a single sql table mapping per class. What is needed is a sql table mapping per instance. Cheers, Rana Rana, Thanks for that eye-opener  You may b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System An stupid question: How to spell FxCop?

  Don't laugh me :) That's right! 'FxCop' itself does not conform to the guidelines, it should actually be rendered as 'FXCop'. However, we chose not to resolve the problem for two reasons (the first of which is covered in the guidelines <g>): 1) The 'FxCop' casing had a legacy usage within MS far in advance of release as an extensibility model and therefore comprised an exception to the guidelines. 2) 'FxCop' itself should not appear in any public consumable API. This term will be removed from all namespace and type names in the next release. 8) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Comments and CommentShapes

  I've been looking at adding comment shapes to my designer, and came across the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams.CommentShape and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Comment classes. "CommentShape" is particularly interesting; it isn't abstract, it isn't related to a model element, I can add instances to my diagram, and it automatically displays multi-line by default. However, should I be using it directly, or should I derive a custom shape from it "Comment" looks less useful, as I'm looking to provide the user with some way of annotating a diagram that doesn't really have a parallel in the underlying model.
