• .NET Development Configuration problem

  I’m having the following problem: I’m writing a COM control in C# for the MMC page provider. My C# COM control uses some other .NET controls. The problem is that the C# COM control can not find my other .NET controls because they are not placed in the system32 directory or in the gac (I don’t want to place them in system32 directory or the gac). I debugged the code and noticed that the configuration file mmc.exe is using is mmc.exe.conf ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions A Problem with Relative Paths

  I've been using Visual C++ 2005 Express without problems for a day, but now I'm suddenly having problems with relative paths.  Instead of a path resolving to one relative to the project file, it's always resolving relative to 'Visual C++ 2005 Express\Common7\IDE'.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and looking through settings, but to no avail.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System recommended scripting tools

  I am looking at scripting tools to standardize on for future build environments and utilities. I see 2 options that should work well, however I would like to know what the TFS team would recommend. The 2 candidates are Iron Python and Monad. Both support .NET naitively Iron Python is clearly the more robust of the 2 but Monad seems to be where MS is putting the focus. What do teams plan to use internally or what will the TFS team recommen ...Show All

• Visual C# Process & WaitForExit & OutputDataReceived

  . Rob, This is from a larger project so I've tried to cut and paste the relevant bits.  This took ages of trial and error to get working. Hope you can make sense of it. Cheers Steve The process is started from a class that also has a Windows form (to show progress).  The sendclip method starts the commandline process which returns as soon as the process is started - as then events take over.&nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server Disable SSIS Studio validations?

  Is there any way to disable the validations within the package upon startup of the SSIS studio  We have a few really large packages that can take almost an hour to validate, since the packages could be pointed to different environments (depending on each developer). The alternative (which could get messy) is to alter the *.dtsx file to point the connections to the correct DB before starting them up in studio. Any ideas ...Show All

• Visual C# Generic Collections with Events?

  Hi, I am trying to make a tabbed control of my own. It's for a text editor and since the default one doesn't have the close button or a nice litle overflow menu like mine does now, I needed to make my own. I have an implementation now, but I am not very happy with it. What I would love to be able to do is have something like the default TabbedControl, where you can do mTabControl.TabPages.Add(key, tabpage); I am trying to use Generics so I d ...Show All
