• bitbonk Generating API documentation in visual studio 2005 environment

  I wonder does visual studio 2005 provide any extensive features to generate API documentation from the classes we design and coded so it makes it easier for us to stream line communcation among multiple developers. kindly let me know if there is such a tool or feature available. if not, do tell me of any other viable solutions out there that could automate generation of API. Thanks a million Hi, if you want to create documentation then you can use Xml Documentation. This is when you use three slashes i.e. /// to write the comments in your code /// <summary> /// This method does nothing /// </summary> /// <param name="name">The name of the person</param> ...Show All

• yema2001 Studio ignores code changes and debug points after first run

  Hi, If I press F5 to debug my webapp, the first time everything works fine, but after closing the application and running it again (pressing again F5) Studio seems to ignore all the chages I made in the code before the second run, what is more Studio forgets to stop at breakpoints. The only way I can work is to close the solution after every run and reopen it again, but this is quite slow and annoying! Any idea what to do Thx! Ors ...Show All

• PitLord Removed J# distributables from VS2005

  I removed the J# distributable files from VS2005 through the Add/Remove Programs option on the Control Panel. Now when I run VS2005 I get the following message in the output window: The Visual J# Language Service Package ({E6FDF8B1-F3D1-11D4-8576-0002A516ECE8}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt. I am a C# programmer so I don't need any J# capability. Am I safe to ignore this message or should I re-install VS2005. Thanks It should be safe but keep in mind that this configuration wasn't probably tested by Microsoft. Why removing the J# redist It's not ...Show All

• lord_8 same problem

  A requirement of my reporting system that I'm developing is that it be possible to localize the reports.  They don't need to be localized dynamically -- we can provide different RDL files for each language and report combination. When I put japanese characters into the RDL file I get mixed results. When I export to Excel, it exports fine (except for the chart labels). When I export to PDF, I get the following error: A call to PInvoke function 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common!Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.CompositionPDF+WindowsGDIWrapper::GetGlyphIndicesW' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention an ...Show All

• Lars Brange Export Class Diagrams during build

  Is there a way to export class diagrams as part of the build process I don't see a way to generate the class diagrams without using the UI. Thanks. The plan is to auto generate as much documentation as possible, but it hasn't gotten much past running sandcastle so far. If this api were added in a future service pack that would be great (hint, hint) Thanks for the response! I know this is an old thread; however, a solution is now available. I work extensively with Sandcastle and found it very intriguing (although sometimes daunting). Useful documentation is critical to my work, so I created a Sandcastle add-on component that generates class diagram images ...Show All

• Peter Tewkesbury Creating a Derived Type in the Designer

  I am attempting to re-create my previous VideoGames database using the designer. I want to see if I can do everything I need without tweaking the underlying XML once. So far its working with NavigationProperties. However, either its been too long since I've used this stuff, or the designer is limited. I am trying to create a derived type called WiiGames that derives from VideoGames, that uses a condition where the VideoGame.Type.ID is 1 (Wii). Anyone have a walkthrough on how to do this in the designer and/or how to start using the designer and finish using XML This seems to be completely counter-intuitive. What I want is to define several "is a" relationships: WiiGame "is a" VideoGame PS2Game "is a" Vi ...Show All

• hula_samvaad Reporting Services, Reportviewer control & browser compatibility.

  We are planing on using the reportviewer control that comes with the standard edition of visual studio 2005. I have noticed that the rendering is not the same in Firefox and I.E. Event the tool bar is wrong. Is this control supposed to work non MS-Browsers Can I fix it by editing some css files, or do I need to derive my own control from the supplied control, to tweack the html it produces. It would be nice if it worked for most browser out of the box. Fred.   Webprofusion wrote:   Webprofusion wrote: ..

• SolidSnake Bug with Can Grow and Line Tool

  If you have a field with cangrow turned on in the detail section and under that field you insert a line with the line tool, if the field does in fact grow to the second line, the line tool line does not get pushed down and the text overlaps on the line. Pretty annoying and makes the line tool pretty much useless. I believe the same thing happens with inserting images as well. Will this be fixed Carl I have resorted to doing that after my post..but it seems like a work-around a bug solution. Carl Just add another detail section (under the one having the "cangrow field") and put your line in that section. ...Show All

• dribar438960 Building solution with multiple platforms

  Hi, I'm currently implementing a project whereby I want to build a big VS solution through automation, containing C++ and C# projects. However C# and C++ uses different platforms, causing only some of the projects to build when using the VS automation interface. The solution builds fine from the IDE when "Mixed Platforms" is selected before building the main project. The automation application is currently set up to build this same project. How do I specify the "Mixed Platforms" option through the automation interface I have tried changing the dependency settings, to no avail. Thanks Thanks, that worked. However, the item name is the file name of the project (i.e. zzz.csproj), and I ...Show All

• Colin Reid Does kerning really work ?

  I've read on the web that WPF comes with great typographic support, including kerning. But anything I've tried, I couldn't manage to make it work. I've used several fonts (although I know for sure that the font I want to use has kerning pairs). I've tried putting explicit Typography.Kerning="True" on almost all my XAML elements. After spending a lot of time, I went to Expression (both GD and ID) to make some additionnal experiments, but none of those programs could produce kerning. While something like Adobe Photoshop can. No success. Is this a bug, a limitation, or am I just doing something wrong Any help is welcome. As a follow-up, I finally manage to get the text rendering I wanted. How B ...Show All

• Willem Muller Feasibility: outlook aggregator emails

• levyuk1 Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. .NET languages have no support for accessing MAPI properties in versions prior to Outlook 2007. Therefore, the UserProperties collection would be the supported approach. What kind of behaviors are you seeing as abnormal Hi. Now I tried following your suggests but it did not solve the problem, the abnormal behavior continue :( --------------------------- ...Show All

• SaintAnger winfx wizard framework

  Hello, I'm using WPF to develop a wizard to guide users through a setup process. I'm trying to follow the vista guidelines. I came across a few postings on 'WINFX WIZARD FRAMEWORK'. So far I've gathered that it is a mix of WPF and WWF, sound very cool and useful. Would someone please explain what it is When is it going to be released. Is it already part of the CTP I want to know if I should wait for it or go ahead and hand code the wizard. Thanks Houman There is no "official" wizard framework.
