• Alexey Nayda Debugging nightmare - Help!

  I am going insane over this. I have a W2003 R2 server with IIS 6 and VS.Net 2005 installed.  The application server works fine.  The problem is debugging.  I load a simple project.  NOT on a remote workstation, I load VS.Net ON THE SERVER and run it there.  I go to start debugging and I get the error: "The debugger could not be started on the web server.  The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer.  This may be because the remote computer does not exist or a firewall may be preventing communication to the remote computer." - There is no remote computer.  This is all there is.  I think it exists. - Since I'm trying to debug on this server, I don't see how a firewall can affect it ...Show All

• IxxI CRChart from Three D Graphics....

  Does anyone have a clear explenation of how the CRChart from Three D Graphics works I am only trying to change the title of a chart in runtime, but it is not clear to me how it is done with these macros, and/or in code. Anyone Ok, Take the popular case of a user who wants to draw a reference line on the y-axis with the value for that line being determined at "runtime". Assume you have created a function called @MyValue that will provide this value. Click on the Chart in CR Designer. Bring up the Chart Expert dialog and go to the TITLES tab. Add the phrase "@Y P2" to the subtitle (or any other title) string. This means "Draw a line on the Y-Axis whose value is determi ...Show All

• lidiya Handle exception in Build Event?

  I am working on a deployment utility that I am writing in VB.NET, it basically integrates with all our systems (including source safe) and builds all our assemblies. It runs MSBUILD using a System.Diagnostics.Process object. This works great because I can check the ExitCode and if something failed I can take the appropriate measures. The problem is we have a post build event in almost all of our .NET assemblies, and it launches another small .NET executable to do some processing, including copying the file. Sometimes this file copy fails because the target is already in use. I need to know about this. Essentially I need the executable that runs in the post build event to return an exit code to the build, which is then propageted back to ...Show All

• Chris Baldwin - MSFT nmake: control characters

  Consider the following rule: foo\rbar: @echo $@ Expected output is the target name, i.e. "foo\rbar". On one machine, though, the \r is interpreted as control character (carriage return), producing the output "bar" only (writing "foo", restarting at beginning of line, overwriting with "bar"). Windows XP Pro nmake 8.00.50727.42 A different machine also running XP Pro and the same nmake version shows the correct behaviour. Any ideas which settings to tweak Andreas, This forum covers discussions about MSBuild, rather than NMake. Having said that, have you tried using \\r to escape the backslash Neil Escaping by double backslashes works, bu ...Show All

• Matt Turk 0x80040000 Error loading resource string IVSSVersion.get_VSSItem

  I am having an intermittent problem with calling the property VSSItem on an IVSSVersion object. Some times getting this property will take a very long time, 5 mins to 1.5 hours, to throw and exception. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040000): Error loading resource string at SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSVersion.get_VSSItem() I have not been able to narrow down or identify any contributing factors. Any help is much appreciated. Most of the time it just works. When it does not work it is this way for a at least a few hours and then starts working again. The commandline exe and the gui client do not seem to be effected, they continue to work without error. Thanks, Jay My guess is that the clocks ...Show All

  I asked yesterday about how to make each class not having its own ServiceHost -- http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1151768&SiteID=1 Since have not gotten a solution (and neither did google), I'm thinking along the lines of having a single "redirector" class that proxies the messages to the right class, by looking at the endpoint address.

What would that look like What do I do to get the Service to accept those credentials Since you're not using a proxy generate by svcutil.exe/Add Service Reference, you should set the credentials on the factory reference directly: factory.Credentials.UserName ..... factory.Credentials.Windows.....

• Joshizzle Proxy authentication in MSBuilder scripts

  Hi! I have a proxy authentication problem when using MSBuilder to generate Sandcastle help files. When building the help files, Sandcastle accesses MSDN webservices which its not possible due to the proxy configuration in my company. I solved a similar problem with .NET applications by changing the machine.config to bypass local proxy, but this does not seem to work for MSBuilder. I could of course disable the MSDN acces in sandcastle.config, but I would like to have the MSDN links in my help file. Does anyone have a solution , thanks in advance! Best regards Torben Torben, There was a similar question about HTTP proxies on MSDN and I posted an answer to a similar question here - http:// ...Show All

• exulted Class Designer - Switch into a read only mode.

  I use TDD when developing my classes so don't want to use the class designer to generate code, however I do want to use it to view the relationships between classes. I therefore wondered if there's an easy way to lock the class designer, telling it that I want to view my classes but don't have any intention of updating them. This would be useful because at the moment its very easy to accidentally make a change (such as deleting an association when you just meant to hide it) that breaks your code base. Actually, a colleague of mine suggested a workaround that may give you what you want. If you're working with source code control (like Visual Source Safe), you can set an option to be prompted to checkou ...Show All

• R. Muti Unable to create a new DSL project from Visual Studio

  I have reinstalled Visual Studio and the latest SDK and I start to experience problems while creating a new Domain Specific Language Designer Project. At first, after the project is unfolded I get the error message box saying “ The method or operation is not implemented” . When I press OK, I can work. I still need to run the text template manually because it probably fell before it could complete it. However, the problems are not over yet.
