• freeflyr Compile Error on machine without VS.NET 2005 installed

  Hi! We're getting the following error when compiling a simple web project using msbuild on a machine that has the .NET 2.0 framework on it but not Visual Studio.NET 2005 (machine 1). Running the build on a machine that has both the .NET 2.0 Framework and Visual Studio.NET 2005 works just fine (machine 2). We're wondering what might be different between them other than VS.NET 2005 being installed on machine 2. Does anyone happen to know if the full version of Visual Studio.NET 2005 needed to use msbuild when compiling web projects Other projects (i.e. Class Libraries) compile just fine one both machines 1 and 2.

• PedroCGD Make Copy of Image

  I have an image like this on a canvas: <Image Width="50" Height="50" Name="myImage" Canvas.Top="0" Canvas.Left="0" Source=" http://mysite.com/image1.jpg " /> Nothing fancy. Now I want to make a duplicate of that image. This is how I know to do it: System.IO. MemoryStream stream = new System.IO. MemoryStream (); System.Windows.Markup. XamlWriter .Save(myImage, stream); stream.Position = 0; Image newImage = ( Image )System.Windows.Markup. XamlReader .Load(stream); stream.Close(); The problem with this approach (I think) is the new image has to get downloaded from its URL again. (I'm just guess this is happening based on the amount of time it takes...) ...Show All

• pire Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out. You must continue execution

  This error happens when you sit at a check-point for around 30-40 seconds. Is there a way to disable this When I attempt to continue execution (to another break-point on the next line), it does not stop. Is this a Visual Studio setting or a runtime setting. Hi, What is happening is that break state was reached and something is being evaluated (e.g. property) in the Locals/Watch/etc window. Looks like this is timing out. You can disable property evaluation by default via the option Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General -> Enable property evaluation and other implicit function calls. The side effect is that properties will not be evaluated by default. See blog entries like http://blogs ...Show All

• Fredrik Melin Underwhelmed by Sandcastle

  I've noticed that the feedback on Sandcastle has been generally positive. Maybe I'm in a minority of one, but I felt I had to get this off my chest. <rant> Having initially dismissed the first Sandcastle release as immature, I've come back several months later to try out the December CTP. My requirements are, I believe, simple and mainstream. I want to generate documentation for a product consisting of a few class libraries and integrate it with VS2005 help. The document should be generated automatically as part of the build process. With .NET 1.1 and VS2003, this was easy to do with a batch file that calls NDocConsole, which in turn generates a configuration file for the easy-to-use H2Reg utility. I can then call H2Reg in a ...Show All

• Hanel O Microsoft Unit Testing Framework?

  Hello, If I am using the Standard or Professional editions of Visual Studio 2005, can I make use of the unit testing framework provided by the Team Suite For example, is this Unit Testing Framework available (and legal) to use outside of the Team Suite (i.e. Team Edition for Software Developers or Team Edition for Software Testers) If so, where can I obtain a copy (or SDK) that can be downloaded and used with my Professional installation I am not looking to get all of the features out the Team Suite into my Professional installation, just the ability to write some unit test classes and have them run in my build script. Would like to continue to use Microsoft tools, but I guess an alternative would be to use NUnit. TIA A ...Show All

• sgGeordie Bind Image to single xmlelement

  I'd like to bind an Image's datasource to a single element in an XmlDataProvider. Each element in the Xml has a unique ID and the image knows the ID it needs to bind to. Is there a way to set the binding of my image so it searches for the appropriate element Brian Each user control is sat on a canvas, ok. What are the canvas' sat on Ok. i think i'm starting to understand now, you want to bind the image src to the xml element based on the id.  The fundamental problem here is that the XPath support in WPF is limited to literal strings, you can't insert variables, such as the id in your case.  Specifically, you cannot write an xpath query like this:   <Image Source={Bin ...Show All

• Mark A. Richman MessageSecurityException problem

  I have a problem that's got me stumped I have a "self-hosted" server over wsHttpBinding, with message security and secured with a home-made certificate (for now at least), the clients are validated using a CustomUserNameValidator.

• JohnDough Latest MSDN library compatible with Visual Studio 2003?

  Hi: Can the May 2006 MSDN library be integrated with Visual Studio 2003 If not, what is the latest that can be Best Nag No, the January 2006 MSDN Quarterly Library is the last version that supports Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003.

• mobigital GridViewColumnHeader: Prevent column reorder for one column

My problem is I would like to prevent the user from reordering just the first column. The other column headers should allow reordering. All attempts to prevent column reordering of the first column thus far have been unsuccessful. Thanks for any suggestions. ...Show All

• Dave Biscuits Unloading the VSTO Appdomain in Outlook

  Hi We have a product which is essentially an Outlook addin written in VS2005 and VSTO. The first thing we do on the "Application_Startup" event is to check the user's validity against our server by calling a dedicated Web Service. If the user is unauthorized, we simpley "return" from the startup event and that's the end of that. The problem is that the Addin is still loaded into the memory and for some of our clients which work with terminal servers this is a sore-spot. Is there a way to unload my outlook addin completely Thanks Ayal Steiner ActionBase Hey John. I am still struggling with how I unload/remove the com adding from the collection.

• Cute_Celina Do I need Tools for Office?

  Hi, I'm fairly new to Visual Studio, so please bear with me! I have an Excel macro written in VBA that takes a workbook with 20-odd sheets and processes each sheet based on its name. The problem is that there are more than 20 of these workbooks and a lot of time will be wasted opening each one, waiting for the macro to run, saving and closing, and repeating for each file. It seemed to me that I could make this a nicer process in Visual Studio - I now have a form that asks for the location of the files (they may be moved) and then sorts through the files in that folder, checks that they are the right ones, and processes them. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the 'processing' step to work past telling me the name of the file. Is it absolute ...Show All
