• Visual Studio Different namespace for DDEX compact framework provider

  Hi, I am writing a DDEX package that should work with both a provider for the .NET Framework and with another provider for the .NET Compact Framework. I want to have a single VSPackage dll for both data providers. The problem I have is that I want to use another namespace when I generate code for the Compact Framework provider. Under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v2.0.0.0\PocketPC\DataProviders\{my .NET provider GUID} I have to specify the InvariantName of the .NET provider namespace, but I would really like to use the Compact Framework namespace (I think). Can anyone point me in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What is the best way to migrate the Pinning and Sharing project of VB6 to TFS

  We are planning to migrate more than 400 forms and 1000 class from the VB6 in VSS to the VSTS. After the migration, can the development team still work in VB6 or they have to move to VB.net Besides that, pinning and sharing of the existing project will be broken after migration. Somebody mentioned that some freeware software can help out on this issue. Do you know the name of the software. OR. You have better solution for that Tim Wong Tim HK Wong wrote: We are planning to migrate more than 400 forms and 1000 class from the VB6 in VSS to the VSTS.

• Visual Studio Team System Updating Assembly Version Information

  Hello, I am looking for a way to automatically update the version information for all projects in a TFS Build.  I have downloaded the AssemblyInfoTask from GotDotNet to take a look at it. Although it works fine for local builds I'm not sure how to use it with TeamBuild - or if it can even be used with TeamBuild.  Since the AssemblyInfo.vb (or .cs) file has to be checked out first I'm not sure how to implement this in a TeamBuild script. Has anyone had any success with getting this custom task (or any other task for that matter) to update assembly version information in TeamBuild   --- Thanks, Jeff   O ...Show All

• .NET Development How to properly deserialize a property with type "Object"

  Hi all, I have a class which is serialized to XML as part of custom serialization of a dictionary. The class has several properties, one of which which returns an Object type. The actual types that the property can hold are String, Integer, etc. Serialization and deserialization of the dictionary does not cause any exceptions to be thrown. However, when deserializing, the property contains a two-item array of XmlNode objects (one XmlAttribute and one XmlText if the original type was String) instead of the value it held when serializing. I've come up with a workaround, but I am fairly certain that there is a proper way to handle t ...Show All

• Visual C++ CRecordSet ReadOnly in C++ Dll called from .NET

  We are moving our existing VC++ V6 app to .NET using Visual Studio 2005 beta. To save on time we have been able to wrap up a lot of our existing base code into a separate C++ project within the .NET application. The main .NET application uses ADO.NET to connect to our SQL Server DB, the old C++ code uses ODBC via classes derived from the MFC classes, CDatabase and CRecordSet. We have completed some initial coding of the application and have been able to execute our old C++ dialogs from within the .NET application and can view the correct data in them (returned via CDatabase/CRecordset). However, we have been unable to update any data using ...Show All
