• user11 VSS: % in filename

  I have added to a VSS project, a file which contains a % char in the filename.  For example: "Is_Old_New_65%Line.vi".  When I try to Check-out the same file, VSS complains with the error: "Is_Old_New_65%Line.vi is not a valid SourceSafe syntax".  Looks like VSS is treating the % as a control character, and rejects the filename.  Since VSS was able to ADD the file with the % character, it should also be able to Check-out/Check-in the same file. Has anyone else run into the same problem   Any work-arounds, besides deleting the old version, and Re-ADDing the new version, which defeats the concept of version control. Thanks. Not sure what the turn-around time is (if any ...Show All

• Kennon2005 Rockside Query Framework

  I mentioned this a few months back to Kieth Farmer and had no time to actually post this anywhere. I loved LINQ when I saw it at PDC 05 and wanted to experiment with building an IEnumerable based query framework with many of the same features. The purpose of the Rockside project was to emulate much of what's in LINQ without the need to use a special compiler. I've finally been able to start blogging about the Rockside project as well as take a deep dive into LINQ at my blog at http://community.bennettadelson.com/blogs/rbuckton so for those of you that were curious back in november/december of last year when I mentioned it i'm starting to post content now. I'll have the whole Rockside query project (including source) up on the site in a ...Show All

After doing so I found the SDK v1.1 still in my programs in the start menu but it doesnt show up in the add/remove panel in the control panel. How do I fix what is messed up you cannot use a .NET 2.0 project in .NET 1.1 (VS2003). You can convert a .NET 1.1 project to .NET 2.0 in Visual studio 2005, infact it will automatically start a conversion wizard. .NET 2.0 is not backwards compatible. .NET 1.1 has a DataGrid, not a DataGridView - this is only in .NET 2.0 and higher I believe. the .NE ...Show All

• 1NooB Helpprovider helpnamespace problem?

  I made a 'pomoc za program.htm' hlep page with pictures, the pictures are in 'pomoc za program_files' folder. I set the helpnamespace to that htm file, it works fine but when I install the program it can't find that file. I imported the file in the resources folder in VB but I can not import the folder with pictures. Is there I way to do this Help please. Thank you. Hello explode, maybe I'm wrong - but I think this is a problem of your installer script. The relative path from 'pomoc za program.htm' to your picture e.g. img="../pomoc za program_files/foobar.jpg" maybe broken. You must install a subfolder with the pictures related to application startUp directory. ...Show All

• JoraPJL VSS2005 mishandling binary files

  I have seen several posts regarding the corruption of pdf files in VSS2005, as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925234. This appears to be an issue for us on version 8.0.50727.42. I have plans of requesting the hotfix described from our MS support rep. We installed VSS standalone, outside the Visual Studio 2005 system, so the service pack recommended in the article will not install. I have added *.pdf to our binary file mask in our srcsafe.ini files for all of our databases (Binary_Masks = *.doc;*.dll;*.exe;*.ocx;*.pdf). The files are all identified and treated properly except the pdf files. When a pdf is added to the database, it is identified as binary and not corrupted. However the problem occurs on any subsequent ch ...Show All

• varunsagii Styling a Hyperlink???

  I am using a Hyperlink element that contains a TextBlock control such as... <Hyperlink>     <TextBlock /> </Hyperlink> What I need is to be able to style the rollOver state and have it underline all the text in the TextBlock, even if the text wraps.

• happypuppy Empty Interface and Sealed Class Topics

  I have a problem with both the Nov and Dec CTP releases of Sandcastle (which I drive with the corresponding versions of Sandcastle Build Helper app). I am trying to build documentation for a set of interrelated .NET 3.0 libraries, and have had success except for one main problem: some interfaces and all sealed classes are generated as empty, i.e. with no members. They actually do have public members, and I can find nothing particularly complex about these types: no nested types or use of generics, most of the interfaces aren't even derived. Has anyone else seen this problem and can offer a solution - Mike I've had the same effect. With "VS2005 Style", the members, properties and constructors ...Show All

• scripteaze Basic WPF Question

  Hi, I just started looking at WPF, xaml. I am going though one of those Microsoft E-Learning courses. From that I see in my Visual Studio 2005. File/New/Project, that I do not have the .NET 3.0 Framework choice. What actually do I need to start projects like the above. I have VS 2005, Windows XP. I am guessing that I need to do some downloads, not sure what though. Thanks Jeff Hi Eddie, I did not have .NET framework 3.0 so I downloaded both. I am a little hesitant to install Fidalgo, sounds like a install at your own risk. Though I want to try some of this out. Thanks Jeff Jeff, what you need is Visual Studio 2005 extensions (Fidalgo), which ...Show All

• Ash McConnell Error during setup: "Some components must be installed in ..."

  I'm trying to reinstall VS05 on my Server 03 dev platform. I did a first install of VS05 after SQL 2005 was installed, and the SQL-related designer packages (report designer, etc.) would not load in VS. (SQL had installed the mini-VS2005 with these packages.) So, I uninstalled VS05 and SQL05 to start fresh. Now I can't get VS05 to install. I get a message "Some component must be installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\ directory. Check that you have write permissions and enough space in that directory". There is plenty of room for the setup options I selected. The same thing happens if I select an alternate drive letter that has 20GB free.  I've tried this logged in as Administrator, too. Any ideas what is causing this ...Show All

• gmcbay Debugging arm executable

  Hi! How can I debug an ARM executable (on my WCE device) that I have built outside Visual Studio. In Embedded Visual C++ I could simply open the executable as a solution and debug it on the device. In Visual Studio 2005 it tries to run the executable on the PC and does not allow me to specify target environment... I.e. I do not want to create a solution with all my sources files and build the code from Visual Studio 2005. Any help is really appreciated! Bengt Hi Michael Thank you for your reply! Yes, this works for the main executable I am, however, unable to debug dynamic link libraries. I assume that Visual Studio is unable to find the .pdb file.

• briendjf Storyboards and Threads Question

  Hi all, I'm new to WPF and I need some help regarding an Animation I have running in a User Control I have created (it s a little progress indicator animation). In my Main XAML page I make my user control invisible to begin with. Then when I want to perform a task which is going to take a few seconds the idea is that I will make the user control visible and hence the users will see the little animation to give them a visual clue that something is taking a few seconds to run. Then when the task is complete I will make the user control invisible again. Everything seems to work fine except that just after running the c# code to making my user control visible, if I then simulate a delay of a few seconds using System.Threading.Thread. ...Show All

• M Minasi Install VS2005 after SQL 2005: Report Designer package fails to load

  I installed SQL2005 with Reporting Services and Analysis Services. It installed a stub version of VS2005 for the Report Designer the the BI Designer. Now, after installing Visual Studio Pro, the Report Designers and other designers installed by SQL2005 will not load into VS2005. VS2005 was not listed in the Add/Remove programs after installing SQL2005, so I did not uninstall anything prior to installing VS2005 Pro. How can I fix this Is there a way to "reregister" these packages so they will load, or do I have to reinstall everything in some particular sequence I reinstalled SQL Server. That re-registered the packages correctly. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get Reporting Services running fol ...Show All
