• Michael.Newman Problems with VSHOST.EXE

  Hi all, I've started getting errors when building an application. It stop building with an "This operation could not be completed" error. If I try again, it then says "Visual Studio could not copy a support file to this location <path to VSHOST.EXE>". I can fix the error by renaming VSHOST.EXE to VSHOST.EXE.OLD and rebuilding. The project is on a network share so perhaps this could be the problem Hi Michael, I've run into this problem a number of times and it was caused by the debugger not stopping/killing the execution of vshost.exe that is running during the debugging session. This could be something in the user's/my code that might cause this, but if I click on "stop ...Show All

• Ronnie Smith Underlining text in a text field

  I am quite new to Visual Studio. I am using the Reporting Services. I added a text box to my report that looks like a memo box. I have like 3 paragraphs of information in the text box. I wanted to underline two words, but it underlines everything in the textbox. I read that RichTextBox could be used, but I don't know how to use it. I see no where to add a memo field. Ok, thanks. Has there been a release on this yet Really! Do you know how soon that will be Good question!! Unfortunately we can't talk about features/dates of unannounced products. ...Show All

• toughtalk WCF client receives System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel faulted error after some IDLE time

  Hi WCF Gurus, Please throw some light for me to debug this issue. I have one WCF client which is calling the methods on the service, the method returns correctly and every thing works, but after some inactivity (idle time on the channel) and if tried to call the same method again i am getting the following error. The communication object , System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the faulted state. If i restart the client application "with out restarting the service" the same method call works and again after some inactivity time (idle time on the channel) i again hit the same error. I am thinking it's some thing to do with the time out values on the client channel, but i ...Show All

• DayTrader Team Foundation System?

  OK, I realize this is a bit bleeding edge, but work with me here. ;) Is Team Foundation System compatible with Orcas I tried installing Team Explorer on the JanCTP but it did not show up in Source Control. Any possibility of getting this to work I have a couple friends that want to try this out in a team setting. :) Thanks! Mike You must have the same version of Team Explorer as Visual Studio for the two to properly integrate. I don't believe Team Explorer was included in the January CTP. However, the Beta1 versions of both should interoperate correctly. Cheers, Adam ...Show All

• Greg_AD Changing the Color of a Row On a ListView

  I'm trying to set up a listview control where if a row meets a condition i want it to change the color of the text for that row (red) else it should be the default color. I have it bound to a dataset. Could someone point me in the right direction Thanks Hi A.Carter, At a quick glance, it appears that you are trying to examine the data sources rows. However, what would probably work better is examining the contents of the ListView. Either that or you may want to examine implementing a Data Template. It depends on the scenario. If the rows in the ListView should be highlighted when a row in the DataTable contains a certain (specific) value, then a DataTrigger could be used. Many scenarios, ...Show All

• Liu Feng Remove Applications Distributed with Access 2003 Developer Extensions (Lost CD)

  I have developed an application in access for one of my clients. I used the Access 2003 Developer Extensions to package and distribute a runtime version. He lost his install cd and now he can not uninstall the application. When he tries to go through the control panel it is asking him for the cd. I tried sending him a new cd but that did not work. Is there a clean way for him to uninstall Thanks in advance for your help. I'm afraid that this is the wrong forum for this type of question.

• sally_de Could I use SqlMetal.Exe with C# 2.0

  Is there any possibility that i can use SqlMetal.Exe (produce DAL) and C# 2.0 (it uses output classes of SQLMetal.exe) And extra question : Is it safe to install C # 3.0 to Production Server (not development server)  I will develop LINQ ASP.NEt project on my own computer than i will publish it to Production Server (it includes ASp.NET 2.0 projects) .. I agree with Dinesh's response that LINQ is not quite ready for production use. There is no go-live license at this point. It is only for tech review so far. That being said, it MAY be possible to use LINQ to SQL and publish the compiled application to a ASP.Net 2.0 server. Since most of the LINQ work is done with compiler ...Show All

• gary647580 How to: Implement aggregates with GridView and Grouping

  I'm trying to create a sort of Outline Grid. Where you can group and the Grouped item contains the sum. Eventually I need to include a Min and Max for dates. +/-Group1 20 50 item1 10 40 item2 10 10 I was thinking that extending the CollectionView and CollectionViewGroup might work, but before traveling down that long road I figure I'd see if anyone has had experience with this sort of thing. The goal is so that when you're creating the GroupItem style, you'll be able to reference ItemSum, just like ItemCount that currently exists. There is still an issue as to what column you need to sum, which I haven't really thought out yet. The other issue is that I'll need the group data to refresh when the item data changes. ...Show All

• Laura Bagnall building solution / projects with project reference

  There seems to be a problem with solutions and project-to-project references. Let's pretend that I have the following structure: Common.csproj SolutionA: Common.csproj (added by add existing project) ProjAA.csproj (project reference to Common) This one is fine then I have another solution SolutionB: ProjectAA.csproj (added by add existing project) ProjectBB.csproj (project reference to ProjectAA) Here, if I build ProjectBB.csproj directly, this works just fine. HOWEVER, if I try to build SolutionB then I get complaints about that project {GUID} missing from solution.. I suppose I can add Common.csproj to SolutionB also, but this does not scale well.. Is there something I'm missing here I mean, after all there is the full/r ...Show All

• IrisFresco Displaying DataTable in run-time

  Hi, I've got the following issue: My application is intended to show any table from the database. It means that the structure of the table is only known in run-time. I looked through the samples, but all the examples contain DataTemplate definition in XAML file that is not my case. I browsed the documentation but did not manage to fing the way how to create DataTemplate programmatically. Are there any ideas how can I display a table when its structure is only known during runtime. TIA thank you very much. It shows all the lines now, but they are the same :-( I have made new solution with only project. then modified the only part of you code. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) ...Show All

Is such a list still there If so, how do I find it If not, can someone please put it back ! Re Chuck Healherly's post: Yes, that's exactly what I was asking about.
