• Eslam Afifi Demo III: Offline Application – WebService

  Hello all, The N-Tier demo has finally arrived. This demo shows you how to take the server side code, basically the ServerSyncProvider along with all SyncAdapters that we build in the last demo, and expose it as a web service. On the client side, you generate a web service proxy and build a thin wrapper around it to be able to plug it into the sync agent. These steps and more are described in the accompanying readme.txt file. For more details and to download the project please visit my blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/synchronizer/ Download sample: http://blogs.msdn.com/synchronizer/attachment/1554160.ashx Hi Nick, Good stuff.

• Laurentiu Nicolae How do I delete a debug project from VS 2005's Start Page ?

  I know how to make a VS 2005 project disappear from the Start Page. I, simply, delete the project's files and that's it. I recently debugged a svchost app. Now it shows up in the Start Page, but I don't want it there. How do I remove a debug project from the Start Page I was told, in this thread : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=300505&SiteID=1 that "There should be a .sln file somewhere on disk. If you delete that file, then click on the item in the start page it will ask if you wish to remove that item." Indeed, there was a .sln file...*and* a .suo file in \Windows\system32. But, after deleting both the .suo and the .sln files, when I click the svchost project in the Start Page Project List, VS 2005 o ...Show All

• Frens Localization Support

  Are there any plans to have better localization support in the Orcas CTP's The current method of localizing XAML using LOCBAML and manually editing csprog files is not very developer friendly. The Winform designer has a property (Localizable) that when set will automatically move all strings to resources. Steve Mark, We used VS 2005 to do the actual localization. Steve Steve, this is an area we are continuing to investigate however we have no firm plans for any changes at present. What changes would you like to see mark Thanks! mark Steve, thanks for the feedback. Do you do the actual localization in Visual Studio or just use Visu ...Show All

• JIM.H. "Unable to attach to the process" error when debuging Excel application

  In developing an Excel application under Visual Studio .net, it failed to attach Excel to the debugger. From the "Process" tab, I could see the Excel application was listed as "Debugger Process". After I detatched it, clicked "Attach" and selected Common Language Runtime, I received the error message "Unable to attach to the process. There is no managed code running in the process. In order to attach to a process with the .net debugger, managed code must be running in the process before attach". The system worked without any problem before, then failed to attach to the debugger without any reason I could think of. There wasn't any change to the system during this time. The development environment ...Show All

• Appel How to get a VS global service from a custom debugger?

  Hi, I am trying to obtain a VS Service from the TextInterpreter sample custom debugger. As far as I can see there is no way to obtain an IServiceProvider in the DE. I tried to implement IDebugENC which has a StartDebuggingSession([in] IServiceProvider*), but either Edit and Continue is not supported in custom DE or I need to set some flag that I am not aware of or something because it is never called. My DE needs to access data that I implemented in my VSPackage as a global service. If it is not possible to access a service, is there another way to access my data source from the DE Thanks!

• AJB123 VSS 2005 install not installing VS 2005 plugin.

• Filipe S. XBAP and default browser

  Hi, I got the following problem since I uninstalled the February CTP and installed the May CTP instead: When I press Ctrl-F5 in Visual Studio for a XBAP application, Firefox is started instead of IE. Since Firefox doesn't understand XBAP, I cannot run or debug the application as easily as before. I know how to change the default browser for a HTML application, but I didn't find such a setting for XBAP applications. Any hint welcomed! Greetings, Laurent Hi, AFAICS it's still the case in the November CTP. However, the workaround I found works OK: In Firefox, open the menu Tools / Options / Downloads. Then click on "View & edit actions" and change the action for XBAP applications to the Windows Presentation Host. Now when ...Show All

  Hi all, Are there any ways to debug a web application with VS2005 on the server by writing text to a console like J2EE web app I read an article about using a listener with either trace or debug objects to write text to a console but I could not make it work. Please help if you know how to do it. Regards, JDang Writing to the event log may be a way to duplicate this.
