• legoman26 Removing empty methods

  Is there a way of getting VS to remove empty method on a build or any other time Also, I am used to putting constructors at the start of the code, is there a way to get VS to order the methods it creates When you say Empty Method, what exactly do you mean A method with no code in it such as void EMethod() { } If that is the case then no. As to your other question, no as well; VS uses templates or generates code in a specific fashion and it cannot be changed. Your issue was somewhat addressed by partial classes, where Man behind the Curtain was hidden in another file on the same class. There is nothing like this in Visual Studio. I suppose it can be done using macros but the express editions d ...Show All

• dakota367 "Create your first application" doesn't run

  I have downloaded and installed Visual C# Express Edition, and clicked on the Create your First Application link in the Getting Started section of the Start Page. I followed the instructions on the page that came up: (ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_csexpresscon/html/f6d56233-5c33-44aa-8002-f0373943eb9c.htm) The instructions state that after I type the correct code and press F5, a window should come up saying Hello, World!. The whole Visual Studio window just flashes briefly and no window appears. Any hints why it doesn't work I should hope that the first tutorial would just work, but... Thanks, Matt It was a Windows Application project. ...Show All

• Dudley Microsoft.WebApplication.targets project wasn't installed out the box

  I just had my first build finally running (hurray, hurray). But among the other reasons it failed because it couldn't find imported project. The error was: "The imported project "C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found" I checked that folder and it has TeamBuild, ReportingServices and CodeAnalysis folders with relevant targets but no WebAplications folder and targets. What's the problem My build includes Web Application Projects (which was upgraded from Web Site). I know that Web Application project is rather recent patch for Visual Studio so I guess there might be pathces for the TFS Build as well... Not h ...Show All

• John Petritis Best way to write video player

  I need advice on the above matter. 1. DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback The library didn't provide a function/method to clean up the screen. 2. Media Control Interface (MCI): if I set a playlist with 10 video files, when the player play the last video i notice the first image repeat twice. 3. Windows Media Player control I didn't try out this component as most of the forum suggest that the component is not stable when import into program. For my case, the player is most probably play more than 1 video so is not user friendly each time the user need to click the open button to select video files. The video will clean up the screen each time it finish the video. Do anyone know any other best way to solve the above matter. Please advice. Thank ...Show All

• Ice Age I want VB to play around with files on my harddrive

  I've watched some of the first intro-videos for VB Express 2005, and played around with some easy variables and buttons in VB. But I haven't seen anyhing yet that deals with filehandling operations. Most of my program-ideas involve copying/moving/renaming various files that already exist on my harddrive, but what section of VB deals with that I could imagine there would even be some premade stuff in VB concerning that, just as there are premade buttons etc. The more advanced videos mainly deal with stuff related to the web and databases, and I can't find anything about it either in the included helpfile for VB. Am I missing something obvious here Any comment on the above will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot to both you, that was ...Show All

• ahmedilyas Plans for sharing project amongst team

  Hello, I just tried importing my work database schema of tens of thousands of objects which went through within minutes, so well done on making the import a lot faster! I was curious as to whether a question I asked a while back has been reviewed. Basically I would really like our team to use data dude for our development, however we all have Team Developer licences (bar a couple of us who have Team Suite licences) and upgrading everyone to Team Suite or switching everyone to DBPro is not an option. All developers develop their own stored procedures, we have no 'Database Professional'. Therefore in order for us to use data dude projects, we would like to know if the scenario below is possible: 1) We have one designated 'Database Prof ...Show All
