• Joshizzle Consistant but inexplicable error when using where clause.

  I have the following code: var q = from m in db.Vms select m; which compiles and runs as expected. However as soon as I introduce a where clause, e.g. var q = from m in db.Vms where m.VmName.Contains( "tttt" ) select m; I get the following error: The type arguments for method 'System.Data.TypedTableBaseExtensions.Where<T>(System.Data.TypedTableBase<T>, System.Query.Func<T,bool>)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly. All of the correct references are established, i.e. System.Query.dll System.Data.DLinq.dll System.Data.Extensions.dll as well as CSharp3CodeDomProvider.dll I used SQLMetal.exe to pr ...Show All

• Mitch Walker - MSFT MSBuild does not copy dlls to Bin of Web Project

  I am trying to us MSBuild to build my solution so that I can use CC.NET however, I have found a problem that MSBuild is not copying the required assemblies to the bin folder. When I compile in VS.NET 2005 it works correctly. I have not been able to find a solution for this. Thanks, Austin Is it possible that you are using one configuration in the IDE and another using MSBuild The build output path is configuration specific, so if you have the output path setup for debug and that's how you build in the IDE it will work, then if you use Release from MSBuild and you don't have it set it won't copy it there. Just a thought....good luck. We experienced the same problem ...Show All

• Mantorok XamlReader.Load is not finding named elements for loose XAML

  i've got an app which loads Loose XAML using XamlReader. the problem is that named elements cannot be found by triggered animations when loaded using XamlReader.Load(). but if i embed the exact same XAML into the app ... it works fine. so how is XamlReader not parsing it the same e.g. the loose XAML has a named element in the content like this (it's an excerpt from playing video on a 3d plane). the exception this will throw when it tries to render is "'mediaElement1' name cannot be found in the name scope of 'System.Windows.Controls.MediaElement'." <GeometryModel3D> <GeometryModel3D.Material> <EmissiveMaterial> <EmissiveMaterial.Brush> <VisualBrush> ...Show All

• McGeeky Multiple projects or multiple database???

  We have many different applications. Should I create separate sourcesafe databases for each application or should I create one database with multiple projects The advantages of the latter are obvious in that all code can be seen at once. Our company uses contractors on a regular basis however and it would be nice to only give them access to the application they are working on. What are people's thoughts on this Thanks. Check this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=261168&SiteID=1 If access rights separation is needed then the only sure way to do so is put your projects in different databases. But then again if one can check-in some code, that you are ...Show All

• J9 [WPF] Performance problems on Windows Vista Pre-RC1

  I am currently working on WPF. Today, I installed the pre-RC1 release of Windows Vista (build 5536) and I experienced some strange behavior. The system runs pretty well with aero graphics and all cool stuffs (I have a T43p with FireGL V3200), but when I am running WPF applications using tranform animations (rotations, translations...), the system turns very slow (even the mouse pointer moves are not fluid). Is there a way to detect what are system capabilities for WPF (such as hardware Transforms or stuff like that) to compare my XP and Vista working environments (maybe it is a Graphic Card driver that does not provide hardware transformations for 2D objects...) After some investigations, my device ...Show All

• Alexnaldo Santos To Include non-strongly type DLL

  In my build, there are several DLL's that I need to include. Problem is that these are not strongly typed to I can't GAC the dlls. What other ways can I acheive this Sorry, but that is not what I am asking... I have a solution that references some DLLs that are not strongly typed. In the solution, I can build that fine. But when I build it on TFS, it does not recognize those DLLs. And, since it's not strongly typed, I cannot GAC it. I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. I believe that you are asking how you can get non-strongnamed assemblies into the GAC. The answer is, you can't. Strong naming is a requirement for entry into the GAC. If you are asking how ...Show All

• coolcars Problem using DTE80a.olb

  Hi, I have migrated my code from .NET2003 to .NET2005. I used DTE.tlb, it gave me build error. However i got sudgestion from VSIP developer to use DTE.olb. But now I can see that this file is not present in VS2005. I used DTE80a.olb as I read in forums that this is just renamed form of DTE.olb. The build is successful but at run time, I get error CreatCustomeProject error at the time of clicking finish of Application settings page and project is not created. Can somebody tell me what is going wrong with DTE80a.olb Thanks Are you still seeing this problem, and if so, which project language are you trying to automate If it is you own custom language, then you will need to debug through your project to see where the exception is being ...Show All

• Matt Stum Copy file peculiarity

  I am copying an app.config file from the project folder to the target folder and re-naming it in line with the target file - all normal, so far. The problem is that when the file is copied, it now has an extra hex character at the end of it, (shown as a rectangle in Wordpad) preventing the configuration service from correctly parsing the file at run-time... has anyone seen this before TIA, Paul_G Build event line: COPY "$(ProjectDir)*.config" "$(TargetPath).config That's bizarre. If you run that command outside of the build, from cmd.exe, does it happen then No. If I run the command from cmd.exe then it copies without any problems! The plot thickens... ...I seem to have fixed it. I changed the build li ...Show All

• Zeeina Binding works when debugging, but not otherwise

  I've been having some issues with bindings, and run into this strange issue. I was expecting some binding to work, but it wasn't so I debugged. After all breakpoints had been hit, the application fully executes, and the binding works. If I run the app without debugging, the binding fails. Binding a standard element to the property works all the time. Binding to the User Control DPs only works when debugging. I'll post the code, I hope it's not too long; thanks again lee. I found the *main* problem I had with this UC. The UC's DPs default binding mode is One-Way. From msdn: "In general, user-editable control properties, such as those of text boxes and check boxes, default to two-way bindings, whereas most other properties defa ...Show All

• blender Problem debugging multithreaded application
