• Visual C# Capital letters in data types

  Hi to all! Just a maybe simple and small question. Does anybody could explain me what is the difference between capital letter and small letter at the beginning of a datatype I mean what is the diferrence between: Double (with big D) and double (with small d) Both works when declaring a variable but what is behind this Thanks a lot in advance! The type names that start with a capital letter are .NET base class library type names. To use them you either have to import the System namespace (with a using System; statement) or fully qualify them (e.g. System.Double ). The lower case type names are C# keywords. They work in any context regardless of namespace imports and can be seen as aliases for the BCL type name ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Prerequisite Problem

  I have a bit of a problem with deployment of an application that I have written in .NET 2005. I have deployed using the ClickOnce feature and the user can install the app with no problems as long as he is logged in as an administrator on his machine. We have many users that are not administrators on their own pc's, so this is an undesirable situation. The application, of course, has .NET Framework as a prerequisite. It also must do some Excel manipulation, so microsoft.office.interop.excel.dll is required as well. I am trying to break up the installation of this application into two parts: One that will be a deployment project that includes the .NET Framework and the interop dll. In doing this, I can create a Setup/MSI package, giv ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Browser buttons

  Hi everyone! I'm trying to create simple browser buttons, but I'm not familiar to developing anything but web pages that's why I need your help. Could you show me the source code (in C++ or C#) of a browser button that would perform some javascript code, i.e.: <script type="text/javascript"> alert("Hello world"); </script> Also I've found that IE toolbars and browser buttons can be installed from .msi and .exe files. Could you explain me the difference between them. Thank you! P.S. I don't want to add these buttons to my browser, rather I'd like to create some kind of an installer that would allow anyone to install my browser buttons. Believe it or not, it's a fairly sim ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS vs. Excel's CSV parser

  Hi All, I’ve been battling with a client who’s supplied us with what they consider to be a legitimate CSV file. 1st off let me say that I understand that there’s no CSV “specification” per say, but here’s the situation regardless. The client has a test string in one of their fields that looks something like this: He said "STOP" so, of course he stopped The CSV best practice requires that you double quote, so a valid CSV filed would look like this: He said ""STOP"" so, of course he stopped Once this is placed into a comma delimited CSV it looks something like this "Col1","Col2" "He said ""STOP"" so, of course he stopped","value in col2" --------------- ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro DLL Language in Portuguese

  This is my first Post :) I work with VFP since '99 and has been always in english. Dealing with english is not a problem, but for my custumers yes, especially with error messages prompted from VFP (due to program code error ou just a crash). Is there a possibility to translate a Resource DLL to portuguese just like exists in Spanish, French, etc. This avoid me have an error routine to translate some messages (one of the common messages is "The visual foxpro support library is missing or invalid"). thx, DaCosta11. As far as I know all of the existing localizations have been undertaken by dedicated volunteers from that country - Spain, France, Germany and, I think, Russia. If you want a Portuguese DLL I am afraid that you wil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Control deployment of static data

  Hi, Firstly, if this question is answered in the documentation then I apologise. I'm usually the first to slay someone for igoring the principle of RTFM. I have a database schema stored in VSTS4DB and I'm making the assumption that when VSTS4DB attempts to deploy these objects it will do so in the correct order according to FK constraints. (I think that's a fairly safe assumption) Either that or it deploys all tables and THEN all the keys. Anyway, some of my tables have a bunch of static data that needs to be inserted once and once only - when the schema first gets deployed. So here's some questions Is it possible to "attach" an INSERTION script to a schema object. Effectively saying "scriptXYZ.sql is the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deploying LanguageService ColorableItems on customers machine

  Hello, We have created our own entries for text colorizers for our language service. All of this works fine and shows up in the "fonts and colors" area of Tools->Options from development machines. This is because we have the ability to reset our experimental hive, so it will see our changes. From our experimenting, we have found that doing a "devenv.com /setup" will register our items on the target machine after doing the install. However, this command has been known in the past to "turf" a users settings for the entire environment. Is there a better possible less destructive way to make sure our colorizers show up in tools/options kind of along the same line as "devenv.com /installvstemplate ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting win32 to work on C++ EE

  Hi, I have VC++ EE, Im trying to work on some tutorials for win32 but my first attempt to compile a simple windows app from http://www.functionx.com/win32/index.htm failed due to VC++EE not coming with default configuration for native win32 apps. (Very annoying) I had to download the PSDK and follow the instruction from here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=7004&SiteId=1 So I created the PlafromSDK directory and move the lib/bin/include directories inside. Now when I compile I don't get windows.h not found, but rather some errors that are pretty obscured to me as a beginner win32 programmer. I tried compiling this very code: #include <windows.h> const char *ClsName = "BasicApp"; const char *WndName ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reuse Dialog Boxes

  Hi, I'm currently working on a Team System add-in for Word and I was wondering if there is any way to reuse some of the Team System dialog boxes. Specifically I would like to use the "Connect to Team Foundation Server" dialog, and the "Areas and Iterations" dialog. I read this post and found out how to reuse some work item controls, but I haven't been able to find a dll that has the connect to TFS or areas and iterations controls. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Joel CommonStructureEdit is an user control. Here is an example on how it can be added to a form (assuming this function is in a form) private void LoadCssEditControl(TeamFoundationServer server) { ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Switch Team Suite Versions

  I have team suite installed. When I first ran it, I was prompted to select an edition. I chose Team Edition for Architects. I assumed that this would allow me to do everything that Team Edition for Developer would do but would arrange the menus items differently. However, this is not the case. I now wish to work with Team Edition for Developers. How can I get Visual Studio to prompt me again for which version I wish to work with Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Will Are you sure that's what it prompted you for The reason I ask is that the different editions are not mutually exclusive - installing a Team Edition simply installs VS Pro, then installs the Team Edition add-ons ...Show All

What do I need to add/remove/change in the control style so that TabStripPlacement starts working again I think I have this figured out.

• Visual C# How do I stop running a function?

  Hello, I need to know how I can stop running a function in the middle of running it. I cannot give any real coding examples but, I can get a structural example and show what I mean. private void TestFunc(string a, string b) { while(a != b) { try { // Code that should run like normal. } catch(Exception ex) { // If the code gets here I should stop the entire function right away! (TestFunc) } } } If the code gets to the catch I have to stop executing the function right away and run another function (which is handled elsewhere). This is a very newbie question but, I've not had to do this yet. Thanks for any help. Quilnux You can return fro ...Show All
