• Visual Basic unable to cast COM object error

  Hello, I am having a strange problem that I can't seem to figure out. I am using visual studio 2005, visual basic, .net 2.0. In my application I am using the Microsoft Internet Controls COM object to automate an Internet Explorer instance. The whole application runs fine in debug and release on my development WindowsXP machine. When I publish the project to Windows Server 2003 to run as a release, I receive the following error. I was reading some posts on registering COM components, etc, but I was not sure why this would run fine on my dev machine and blow up on the release box. Both machines have the same versions of .Net on them. An ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mouse following question

  Hi, I know GetCursorPos() is used to get the current x,y coordinates of the mouse cursor. My question is how to write program that always displays the x,y coordinate next to the mouse cursor. Is a Win32 program needed or can I actually write a console program to do it What is the easiest way to do this Thanks a lot! KL You'll have to be able to handle the Control.MouseMove event if you're writing a CLR application (so you'll have to do it in a Windows Forms application) or the WM_MOUSEMOVE message if you're writing a native app (so, you'll have to create window for the message to get posted to).

• Visual Studio VS Beta2 crashes and restarts when I try and run it in debug mode.

  When I try and run my web application in debug mode, the IDE will build my application, but when it comes time to display it using the IDE's development server, the IDE displays a warning message, that I should save everything and VS will shutdown and restart. If I just do a build of my application it builds successfully.  Is anyone else having this issue Does anyone know of a fix Thanks Found the solution.   It seems to be a problem with the window layout in the IDE.  I was able to run the debugger after I went to the Window Menu and selected Reset Window Layout.

• SQL Server SP3 Upgrade seems to have disconnected our Analysis Manager

  HI, we just loaded the Analysis Services SP3 on SQL Server 2000. This upload was tested in a single server environment and worked correctly. However, our production environment is a triple server environment. We are able to connect to our Project Server DB. Our Cube data is also still available. However, no matter what we have tried, we are unable to get the Analysis Manager to connect to the Cube DB area. I'm in our PMO. Our DBA is not terribly comfortable with the admin of the Analysis services pieces, so this has fallen into our lap. Everything I have searched on today indicates failures with the service and such. However, th ...Show All

  Hi, I have a Project in VS.NET 2003 which uses DataView.RowFilter. When I compile it in VS.NET 2005. Performance of the RowFilter Command decreases dramatically.
