• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums I dont know whether you have come across this..

  I wrote a vba code sometime ago and i was happy with the way it worked. But i was really surprised to find that the same code doesnt work now. Well, you might be familiar with this "subscript out of range", but what i dont understand is, the same code worked like 4 weeks back on the same pc without any change in the windows/office version. One of the solution that i was suggested was, to put all my code under modules, well it did work for somebody which i found over the net, but actually, i do not want to that. Anyone ever come across this problem before and solved it, or tried to..please reply to this topic as i ...Show All

• SQL Server Output format

  I'd like to take the results of my report and save them as tab delimited text files.  This is not one of the options available when I click the save button.   The only options I have are XML, CSV, TIFF, PDF, Web Archive and Excel. I'm new to this software.   Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Paul Hammond Richmond, VA Thanks, All this sounds like a lot more work and research, which is not why I started using this program.   I'm hoping they come up with an out of the box solution soon.

• Windows Forms not able to locate line of code geberating the pb

  My class frmacct is a form. Sometimes, I get the error message : 'Object not set to a reference' but the code stops and puts that 'yellow back color' at the begining of my form class: Public Class frmclass So I m don t know how to locate the line that generates the error since the debugger stops at the begining of the form Thanks Hmm, thats a little odd. What language are you using You could try to trap the exception using (debug menu)->Exception and trap the "Common language runtime" exception System.NullReference Exception. Of course you might already be doing this because it should break to the debu ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 can not show history.

  I'm using VSS 2005 and VS2005, both version are 8.0.50727.42. I'm using VSS Explorer. The "Show History..." does not work. No any results when I choose a long period. I tried to empty "From" and "To" fiels, the result is same. Any idea Thanks in advance. I'm experiencing the same problem. I've recently upgraded to the RTM version of VSS 2005 (was previously using the Beta version, and 6.0d before that). I've observed that any databases that I created with the 6.0d client work properly. I can view the history of files, see their dates and labels, etc. Any databases I created with the 2005 Beta or now with 2005 RTM, History functional ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tool support for designer definition?

  Hi, are there any plans to provide tool support for writing the designer definition in the future The current approach of writing plain XML is very time consuming and error prone. IMO, this could be easily supported by wizzards that generate an initial version of the definition from the domain model on the one hand, and by an editor to maintain it on the other. regards, stefan Stefan, you might want to check out http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=225280&SiteID=1 for the answer. ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do I obtain an environment Variable?

  have 35 years of experience. I have mostly avoided the C world. when I've had to write in it, I've done OK in VS6. VS2005 C++ is so cantankerous. I'm writing a program that must run standalone and it must be very lean and not rely upon redistributable dlls. I am not in need of a routine that returns the value of the %windir% environment variable in string format. My project is set for a unicode build. The design goal is to have only the executable image and no additional dlls other than Native XP API dlls. char * buffer; string x; buffer = getenv( "windir" ); x = string(buffer); will not work because ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why always show these errors when I debug this project.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Performance

  I created a simple console app to host the workflow engine and run a simple sequential workflow consisting of a while condition, a sequence, a couple of trivial custom activities, and an incrementor to kill the while loop after 10 iterations. On a fairly powerful developer machine, running a release build, running outside the debugger, performance measurements showed that it took about 1.0 second to load and unload the workflow and another 1.0 second to execute it. This does not include the time to initialize the workflow engine. For my application I would need these times to get down into the millisecond range. Is the c ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Management of a SQL Server 2005

  Hello, One thing I noticed is that Network connections to SQL Server 2005 databasees, updates and other thinks like Insert, Delete via remote are never covered, especially for new programmers. You see, new programmers like myself need special attention. The simplest thing is a big thing to the new programmer. This is why I would like to see a Forum or Topic that looks after the new programmer for remotely connecting to SQL Server 2005 from VB.Net or C#. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Running Tests in Team Build

  My TeamBuild, builds 2 solutions (one asp.net and one class library), therefore I also define two build configurations ('Debug|.NET' and 'Debug|Any CPU'). I have defined a test on each solution (a web test for the asp.net solution and a unit test for my Class Library solution). When I run these tests in team build, as well as compiling against both build configurations, it appears that both tests are run under both build configurations. Whilst the web test works under both build config's, the unit test only works under 1 - unfortunately the build log doesn't say config is being used to run the tests. The error mesasge also says that the unit ...Show All
