• CaseyB412 Intellisense not working -> a solution

  After having installed the linq preview on a clean installation of vs2005 intellisense was not working. This was due to some registry keys pointing to the wrong paths in the filesystem: HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LINQ Preview\VCSIDEDIR and HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LINQ Preview\VCSPKGDIR where both pointing to C:\Program Files\LINQ Preview\" which doesn't seem right. After having changed them to point to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\VCSPackages\ intellisense works fine for me. Michael hi michael. i have run the install script, and it didn't seem to change anything. intellisense works at a basic level, but it isn't nearly as good ...Show All

• Christian Schweizer Bless you....

  Using XP64 ver. 1069 Get an error that background intelligent transfer system is not enabled. I try the troubleshoot, but all settings match and diagnostic tools they say to use won't run, because errors say "for windows xp only" or "for other architecture" It is supposed to run on this version I according to the list I think. Thanks. Are you trying to download the express SKUs If so, it needs the BITS service running to download the product. Follow mstish's comments to enable the service.

• snowmt Error HXC3031: A group of keywords for a single Help link or KTable exceeds 4,096 bytes.

  I get the following error while building the documentation for a really large assembly. Error HXC3031: A group of keywords for a single Help link or KTable exceeds 4,096 bytes. I am using the November CTP release of Sandcastle along with Eric Woodruff's "Sandcastle Help File Builder" tool. Any idea how to go about resolving this one Thanks. Hi Anand, You are right...I got these errors during the .HxS compile stage. I tried this scenario without using the SHFB tool and did not get any errors this time. I am also getting additional warnings when using the SHFB tool which do not come when I use Sandcastle directly. I have reported this issue to Eric at the SHFB forum - http://www.codeplex.com/Project/D ...Show All

  Does anybody know where WCF security demos can be found I found some demos in the win SDK and in the WCF site http://wcf.netfx3.com/ but they are trivial.

• Taylor Meek Simple request for help regarding Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta

  I have one simple question and I cannot begin to figure out where to ask it. 1) With Visual Studio 2005, if I install the Service Pack 1 Beta, will my project and solution files be compatible with a standard installation of Visual Studio 2005 that does not have the service pack installed I ask this because this beta release has no GoLive license, it is not recommend for deployment in production scenarios, and even if you have a support contract in place with Microsoft there is no formal support before the final release of the service pack. I have never seen such a big carrot that has no dietary value. Hopefully someone can guide me to the proper place to post this question.

• Pon t3h pony WCF and Fast Infoset

  I am trying to figure out how to use fast infoset compliant library in combination with WCF. How would I go about implementing either WCF client that sends fast infoset soap request or a WCF service that receives a fast infoset soap request and responds with fast infoset response I know that Sun has been experimenting with fast infoset library on java and WCF interop. What I want to know is how would one enable such capability in WCF assuming such fast infoset compliant library exists for .net Thanks. I think the extensibility point you want is the encoder. The encoder is the thing that transforms the XML in the message body into bytes to put on the wire, and vice-versa. The particular classes involved are MessageEncoder, Messag ...Show All

• jcarlos.net Dispatcher.BeginInvoke and application freeze

  Hi everybody, In my application, I use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() to allow a long method to be run asynchronously.

• UltimateSniper Automatically generate an embedded manifest

  If an application has many individual executables (over 50) and I need to embed a manifest in every one of them, is there a way for VS2005 to do this automatically during the build. Thanks You should be able to create a resource file with the xml information and rebuild the app. That should do the trick. Not with VS2005. It's something we are actively investigating for a future release, to better support Vista development. Neil Is there a reference on how we can automatically embed manifest files into a console application written in C++ with VS2005 A mainfest gets written, but we need one for Vista certification requirements. ...Show All
