• J1mlad ADO.NET vNext Installation problem

  I attempted to install ADO.NET vNext today, but upon starting the install wizard, I was prompted with a message box stating: "Could not access network location VisualBasic\ADO.NET vNext CTP\1033\." I have previously installed the .net 3.0 framework, Visual C# express 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005, and the May 2006 Linq CTP. I'm logged in as administrator on my box, so I couldn't imagine it would be a security issue". Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or any suggestions where I might look for answers I didn't have any luck googling on Ado.net vNext installation problems. Thx for any help. I decided to look at the MSI tables with Orca.exe. I noticed in ...Show All

• VenkateshBabu Visual Studio 2005 SDK

  Hello Does anybody know why after installing VS SDK, while build, VS will open all of projects in the solution and add below tag to them <Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" /> or <ItemGroup> <Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" /> </ItemGroup> And how can I turn it off. Regards Mohsen We believe we've finally fixed this one for Orcas RTM We no longer mark solution files at all, and we now only mark individual project files when you actually run the T4 custom tool in that project. Ah yes, I also did exactly this before finding a vwd.webinfo file, and <Service Include=""&g ...Show All

• Jawad Naeem Problem installing .NET Framework 2.0

  When installing the .NET 2.0 framework in the VS 2005 installation, th einstallation would just take forever not getting anywhere. I would leave it for 4 hours hoping that it would install but nothing happpened. This was using an ISO downloaded from the MSDN Academic Alliance (my University is subscribed to it for all members of my course - therefore I was using a DVD burnt by one of my mates, that had worked on his computer). Having given up with this I then decided to try installing the .NET 2.0 SDK before installing VS 2005. Again I got the same problem with the SDk install. After much searching through the Internet I still found no answer to my problem, therefore I tried to read up on eveything the .NET SDK needed to update, and discov ...Show All

• wendling lionel Target.ssdl - naming convention for elements in this file

  I was looking through the CTP and noticed that in the Target.ssdl file that there are "EntityContainer", "EntitySet", "EntityType" elements defined (same naming style as for the Model.csdl). This confused me a little as I was expecting to find 'Target' (schema) information instead of Entity information. Should these be named "TargetContainer", "TargetSet", & "TargetType" or am I misunderstanding the purpose of the Target.ssdl file Cheers, -Mat In ADO.Net vNext, the database can be modeled in EDM terms -- the SSDL is a manifestation of the database schema information in EDM terms. Thus, we represent tables as EntitySets and databas ...Show All

• Jon Stroh Creating new item type

  How would I create a custom item type I want to allow the creation of assembly (.asm) files in my project and I cant figure out how to do this, so I thought a custom type would work. Thank you. Then all you need is to give your package a ProvideProjectItem attribute with the Guid of your ProjectFactory class and where to look for the templates.

• zr119_62 Sorting using Dependency Property

  Hello, I'm trying to use Dependency Properties to sort Gridview. I'm 90% done, I got a nasty problem. So now I'm not sure if my approach is correct. I've seen the sample where the gridview is sorted when a gridview header is clicked ( How to: Sort a GridView Column When a Header Is Clicked ). However, I don't like the way they're switching templates in code. So: 1. I introduced an attached property SortDirectionProperty. 2. Introduced a ColumnHeaderContainerStyle in which I set the template for GridViewColumnHeader (GVCH). And use triggers that check the attached property SortDirectionProperty. 3. When the GridViewColumnHeader.Click is invoked I figure out the sortDirection and assign it to the GVCH attached property Sor ...Show All

• RenoMike A couple of Sandcastle questions

  I've noticed the following The Member column in the type description pages seems to truncate long method names. On a large enough monitor (with a high enough resolution), it is possible to work around this problem by resizing the window so that it's large enough to avoid the truncation. It's probably similar to the problem with truncation of long namespaces that was mentioned in a previous thread. Will there be a fix for this Using the Prototype style, in the table of contents, the label for the parent "node" for overloaded methods includes the parameters of the first overloaded method. In other words, the label of the parent "node" is the same as the first child "node". Wouldn't it be better if the paramete ...Show All

• Tzal ReportViewer not finding assembly in webapp Bin folder

  We are experiencing a major problem while trying to call custom code from our report in a web app. The following message describes our problem: " Unfortunately, because of a bug, copying custom assemblies to the webapp bin folder will not work. We are [microsoft is] hoping to fix this in a service pack. Until then you have to deploy custom assemblies to the GAC.

• LLeuthard reproduce DWM technology

  Hi, As I understand, the DWM run as a full screen WPF application that “captures” the rendered output of each application and it redraw each of them. It sounds simple but probably I miss something. Is it possible to capture the output of running applications, convert it and manipulate it with vector transformations thank you. I don't know enough to comment on the specific comparison to DWM. If you want the WPF application output to be live, you can create a VisualBrush and set VisualBrush.Visual to the root of the page you wish to display. If you’d like it to be static and be a snapshot, you can use a RenderTargetBitmap to create a bitmap from the page. See Greg Schechter's blog for more on DWM. - the DWM is u ...Show All
