• Visual Studio Help crashes Visual Studio 2003

  I am a computer science major at a university that has Visual Studio 2003 available through the MSDN academic alliance. I installed VS without the MSDN library for an assignment and everything was great, then when I later tried to install the library it won't work. If I try to directly open the library, a message comes up saying "updating help..." then Document Explorer crashes. If I open VS the same message comes up and the whole program crashes. I can get to VS by clicking on a file that is normally opened by it, but as soon as I do anything that changes settings or causes the help update message to come up, it crashes. I downloaded a free alternate to Document Explorer, and can look at the library just fine with it, but this d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Compatibilty with Access

  Morning, Over the past ten years my department have been creating bespoke applications that in same cases required using an external small data source. Access was the database use in most cases using 95, 97, 2000 and 2003. I know Vista is a little off being ready but is it known yet if any of the above will be incompatible with Vista so we can have time to perpare the changes required. Many thanks, Dan Wright ...Show All

• Windows Forms how do I conditionally change a DataGridViewButtonColumn?

  I'd like to change the text and disable the column if a certain condition is true in the row. What events or methods should I be altering Hi, As I said, when to check the condition is all up to you. You may check it after the data is loaded or updated everytime. Because your conditions are related to your business rules, you'd better not hard-code the rules. Write the rules in another file, therefore you have more flexibility. ...Show All

• .NET Development Separating Schema and Services during versioning

  I have my WSDL contract from my web service. I want to separate my services and data definitions and make these static across versions. I followed this MSDN article , but despite most people referencing it when discussing this topic, i don't find it particularly clear. I also looked here , but as this guys next article was suppose to discuss this and he never got round to writing it i suspect he also had some problems. Firstly, I have two versions and so i have my types defined under two namespaces - fine. I extract these type definitions into v1Types.xsd and v2Types.xsd. I then redefine the wsdl:types element as follows: <wsdl:types> <s:import namespace=" http://myns/v1/ " schemaLocation=" h ...Show All

• SQL Server ADO.NET SP throws ArgumentException after migrating to SQL 2005 Standard

  I just migrated a database from SQL 2000 Developer Edition on W2k Server to a production machine running SQL 2005 Standard on W2k3 Server Standard. A Web Service was also migrated from .NET 1.1 on the development machine to .NET 2.0 on the production machine. Since the migration, a stored procedure that worked on SQL 2000/.NET 1.1 now throws a System.ArgumentException: "No mapping exists from object type System.RuntimeType to a known managed proider native type." This occurs with a date value - the stored procedure is filled from XML data the Web Service receives from the client program by a generic subroutine that recognizes the applicable table names and primary key column names, selecting the appropriate stored procedure ...Show All

• Visual Basic Office Interops

  Hi, not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes: My VS2005 VB application uses excel interop 11.0 library to communicate with excel 2003. In the publish settings I have interop.dll as a required prerequisite (auto). The problem I'm having is that some users naturally have different versions of excel & I'm not sure how to get over this. The application will not run without the assemblies - it gives an error: "The application requires that assembly ...interop excel version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the GAC first". Where they have excel 2003 it's a simple matter of running O2003PIA.msi, but I now have users with 2002 & 2007. Can I change the publish settings to include the dlls Will this then instal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Limit to amount of characters that FxCopCmd will take as arguments?

  Hi, I'm running FxCop 1.35 from VS2003, and if my argument list gets too long, FxCopCmd throws an error. In the output window I can see that after a certain amount of characters, my argument line gets chopped, causing the error. As soon as I shorten the argument line (by moving my rules to a different location, like d:\rules) everything works fine. Not sure if this is a VS problem or an FxCopCmd problem. Anyone else experienced anything like this Incidentally, I could shorten my arguments if I could figure out some way to combine something like $(ProjectDir) and "\bin\Debug". Anyone know the syntax for this Much Thanks, Henri This is likely a limitation of Visual Studio. FxCopCmd ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic Express application stops before showing form on another computer

  I have now tried 3 separate applications, one being just a simple form with no underlying code at all. All three applications will run fine on my Dell desktop (XP) and Dell laptop (2000) but will not run on my Toshiba laptop (XP). I do the development on my desktop so I cannot run debug on the Toshiba laptop. When I run the applications on the Toshiba, the process explorer shows it starting and immediately stopping. Placing a few log statements in the code, I noticed that the application is stopping when the form is trying to display. Load form is working fine but show form does not seem to be. This must be a configuration issue with the Toshiba as it is the only computer that does not work. However, I have done all MS ...Show All
