• Visual Basic Problems using a VB6 usercontrol in .NET 2005 - can't find interface, and unable to create from progid

  I'm having some problems in trying to upgrade a VB6 application to VB .net 2005 - I hope someone can give me an idea where to look: The basic upgrade process worked fine, but I'm having trouble with some VB6 / .NET interoperability. The part of this application I'm having trouble with has to create ActiveX controls from their VB6 progids. The old VB6 code used to create these activeX controls dynamically from progids using "controls.add". In .NET, I have tried converting the "controls.add" code to the following, where progid refers to a vb6 user control. (Note that there are a load of these controls which all work perfectly well and I really dont want to have to upgrade them to .net!) When I run the code ...Show All

• Architecture critique requested on thin Data Access Layer

  I have devised a way to save tons of code by calling stored procs with a single web service method, which takes a DataSet parameter, containing a DataTable with the name of the stored procedure and column names matching the parameter names, and row(0) contents matching the values to be passed. I have further simplified matters by making all parameters varchar, so a call from my client looks like: Dim paramVals As String() = { myString1, myString2 } Dim ds As DataSet = oneWsMethod("storedProcName", "param1,param2", paramVals) ... Dim params As String() = { this1String, thisOtherstring, thirdString } ds = oneWsMethod("anotherProc", "p1,p2,p3", params, usingTransaction:=True) My o ...Show All

"Source Control File Types" on Team Foundation Server Settings Is it a permissions problem Which of them I have all permissions on TFS !

• Community Chat Secure Data Organizer - A Free Password Manager Written in .NET 2.0

  Hi all, I've been working in .NET ever since the pre-RTM 1.0 release for my Master's Thesis. I continue to code in many languages but have been working on a pet project on the side called Secure Data Organizer. This is a free program that marks the culmination of several years of design and effort .It is a Password Manager but was designed to be the best one out there. Ease of use (even at the expense of developer pain) was a driving development principle, as was native and intuitive GUI, human-readable XML file format, and public disclosure of encryption algorithms and techniques. I released it as freeware to the web back in late November. Since then, we've grown to over 1,300 registered users--a nice starting userbase! Our big b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System PVCS to TFS conversion?

  Hello, we are currently working with the PVCS Version Manager and I want to migrate the data from our PVCS database into TFS because we want to use TFS in the near future. Is there any way to get the data to work in TFS Maybe with a third-party-tool I'm searching since 6 hours now and I can't find anything to do this. Regards Thomas I am evaluating the ComponentSoftware toolsand have found them to not be very robust. I am trying to leverage them in several test scenarios for migrating PVCS (via SVN) and Visual SourceSafe conversions and have had problems every step of the way. Only being able to interact with support via Email has slowed down the evaluation process considerably. Their is not cu ...Show All

• Visual C++ Should this sample run without a crash?

  Hi, today I was testing some things and came across with something like this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: void print() { cout << "test"; } }; int main() { A* a = 0; a->print(); return 0; } And I was a bit surprised when it ran without any problems both in debug and release in VS 2005. Well, I realize that since the code doesn't depend on the class, it may seem armless to run it but.. is this right Should it run in cases like this Is this standard or is it something that the VS team choosed to do since the code doesn't depend on the class I didn't check the standard yet to check if it says something about these cases, and I have to admit that sometimes it's hard for ...Show All
