• Windows Forms VS form designer eats up lots of disk space...

  Everytime I want to edit a form, it seems Visual Studio is recompiling the form and storing a copy in the ProjectAssemblies folder.  This eats up lots of disk space (~2 gigs) and completely stalls visual studio, and my project only has 2 simple forms so far.  Is this normal behavior   The form designer is really nice, and would reduce development time significantly, but not if it continues to do this.  It takes about 10 mins to load a form, and I can only use visual studio for about an hour before I have to shutdown and clear out the ProjectAssemblies folder to regain disk space. This hap ...Show All

  I am trying to get a value from a stored procedure, I just want one number, and I want to store the value in a variable.

• Visual Studio Express Editions fopen doesn't like shortcuts?

  I hope this is an acceptable question for this forum... I have a simple console app with VC++ Express. I have a text file, "sample.txt" that I can open with fopen("sample.txt","r") without error. If I create a shortcut to sample.txt, call it sampleshortcut.txt, and try the fopen it fails: fopen("sampleshortcut.txt","r") fails. If I use the extension .lnk, the fopen works:fopen("sampleshortcut.txt.lnk","r") works. Is this behavior to be expected Is there another file open that works with links as some might expect, that is , file_open("sampleshort ...Show All

You should choose it for yourself. Get the facts, compare & make decision. C++ is somewhere faster than C# at runtime, but do your customers need such performance C++ is somewhere more portable than C#, but do you write portable programs C++ can waste a little less memory than C#, but how much do you save C# application much easier to develop and you are more prot ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE and Asynchronous WebMethod issue

  Hey, Does anyone know why asynchronous webmethods don't seem to work outside of ASP.NET in IIS I am trying to follow the example from the MSDN article below, and it works fine in ASP.NET under IIS but not in WSE hosted outside IIS. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconCreatingAsynchronousXMLWebServiceMethod.asp I tried the Begin/End signature and hosted it in WSE and it worked somewhat, but immediately after the Begin it goes straight to the End and uses EndInvoke in a blocking manner instead of an async callback like if the same class is hosted in ASP.NET under IIS. I suspect that it has ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.Find throws exception on empty DataSet

  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by dragging tables onto the form from the dataset). My dataset has two tables "state" and "county". They are related one-to-many by relation "FK_county_state" from state to county.  'county_id' b ...Show All

• Visual Studio UIPAB

  Dear,  Keith mentions on his weblog http://blogs.msdn.com/keith_short/default.aspx that the UIPAB can be used with a recipe. I have been using UIPAB in practice. The UIPAB, however, is rather difficult to explain to novice user. Do you think that a recipe might ease the UIPAB pain for novice users Does there exist a (demo) UIPAB recipe somewhere Do you think that there exists some interest in 'open sourcing' a recipe for UIPAB If this is the case, I can document my UIPAB recipe experience on my weblog.

• Visual Studio Team System Could I work off line with Team Foundation Server?

  It seems I could only connect to the TFS to work with work items such as bug, task, etc. Could I work off line with the Server Sometimes I have to work at home. Could I make a dial-up connection to the remote server in company, see is there any bugs related to me, then disconnect from the network, after I modify the source code, and reconnect to check-in my modifications to the code and change the state of the bug Thanks!
