• .NET Development Debug into FCL?

  Is there any way for us to debug into FCL (er, of cource if source code in c# or MSIL is there, that would be much better) I'm asking this because I do think all my code is right (I've used that code for almost 1 year, and only this time it's not working), but it stuns inside FCL, and then tells me "Time Over". Not really, you can debug the native code generated by the JIT compiler. Raw stuff though, no annotation whatsoever. A useful tool to try to figure out what the FCL method might be doing is Reflector . ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hiding properties on a property grid

  Hello. I have a third-party component that I would like to show on a property grid. I do not have access to it's source code to put the [Browsable(false)] or the designer, and I would like to hide some of it's properties on the property grid. Can I do that Thanks in advance, Matias Hi, one way would be to create a wrapper class around the 3rd party control which you can then use the expose/hide properties, this is also a good way of abstracting your code from the 3rd party control directly incase at some point in the future you want to remove the control and use a different one. Another way you could do this is to decompile the component to MSIL, then add the BrowsableAttribute yourself in th ...Show All

  It is 12:48 pm here (GMT + 1)... in Nuku'alofa (GMT + 13) it is tomorrow... So where the hell is my download link :-D It's just about 12:30 AM, my guess is you'll still have to wait several more hours, probably at least 8 and a half since the workday starts for most people in the US around 9 AM. Even then I don't expect to see it until later in the afternoon Pacific time. ...Show All

• SQL Server User Mgmt

  SQL 2000 - Is there a way to ONLY give someone the ability to open the Enterprise Mgr in a specific sub-view below the console root For example, I want to allow someone to create db users for a specific database, but I don't want them to see the rest of EM...like Management, Security, Replication etc....

• .NET Development Help request on how to optimally link VC++.NET applications?

  Hi! I posted this question to a wrong forum earlier, now I am reposting it to the right forum. My problem is that I write C++ aplications in tradional form, e.i., the programs include one header file (.h) and one implementation file (.cpp). Compiling is going very smoothly. However, I get problems with the linker and most of the time I get the notorious LNK 2020 error, "token could not be found etc". The reason that I am getting this error message is that the linker cannot locate the implementation files and therefore cannot see where the "tokens" are implemented. It entails that you are supposed to load these .cpp files into the associated projects. My solution to this problem have been like this, because unti ...Show All

• SQL Server Package configurations stored in the database

  If the configurations are stored in the database then does the package pick up the configuration as and when required or it a one time pick when the package is executed. What I plan to do When the package is executed, I want to have a script task at the start of the package that will update the configuration table in the database with the values that the package needs to run with.

• Visual Studio Team System Training material for integrating into Team Builds

  Hi, I am currently using datadude in a Team Foundation Server (TFS) environment and we want to include the database builds as part of our continuous integration (CI) builds. Are there any guidelines on doing this I'd really appreciate some material (papers, videos, best practices etc...) on how we might do this and the pitfalls we should expect. I'd also like to see something around how we move objects and data from our build environment through our dev/test/QA/live environments because one thing is for sure- you can't just treat databases the same as you would normal code. Currently we are considering using schema/data compare features of Datadude to compare our build environment with our test environment and then the resulta ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Page Limit?

  Does anyone know whether there is a page limit in an XPS document I have created a 10,000 page XPS document printed with the Microsoft XPS Document Writer from Crystal Reports XI. I can open this document in the XPS viewer with no problems. However, when I create a 100,000 page document using the same package, the XPS document does not open in the XPS viewer and the memory use on my computer jumps and keeps on rising. I am working on Windows XP. Any ideas, anyone Thank you CTA, This information is very useful. In further tests I was able to print upto 30,000 pages using the MXDW in non-interleaved format. I will need to look at the zip32 limitation. My document is quite simple though (1 logo on ...Show All
