• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a new website hangs VWDE

  Everytime I click "Create Web Site" either from the start page or the file menu, Visual Wed Developer 2005 Express hangs. It shows 'not responding' in the title bar and task manager, and I have to use task manager to kill it. I never get the dialog box. Nothing in the application event log. No errors or anything! Anyone have any ideas what's going on Dave There was a similar problem that was reported in C# Express but we weren't able to repro the issue. Can you try taking a look at the thread and seeing if you can follow any of the suggestions to get it working: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=775022&SiteID=1&PageID=1 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Triangle strips Vs. ordered index buffers

  Triangle strips are fast, but why exactly Is it because they never have a cache miss, or is it because the cards have some special optimization just for triangle strips (and fans) If I, instead of a triangle strip, have a vertex buffer and en ordered index buffer so that the indices mimics the order of a triangle strip, will this be just as fast as a strip .. or is there something else to it I have a mesh where a triangle strip can not easily be built, but I can however order the indices in such a way that each triangle reuses two vertices of the previous triangle. Each primitive only introduces a single new vertex (index). How would the performance be I could test this, but I would like to have a theoretical answer first and then make ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Two Excel Addin questions

  Hi there, I am using Office Beta2 (german) and the VSTO3 CTP. I want to create an Excel Addin that has an extended ribbon and an app-wide custom task pane. My ribbon tab currently only contains a button that shall get a functionality similar to the standard insert pivot table button. Actions planned to happen upon press of this button are starting a data selection dialog, opening the task pane and placing a custom control on the sheet. My first question is: Can I reuse the PivotTable/PivotChart creation dialog that asks for the data source in my addin I need to get the same infos from the user in order to fill my task pane that works similar to the pivot table data field task pane. The second problem arose when I tried to place ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems configuring Reporting Service (Express Edt.)

  Hello there. First: The problems have their orinin in ExpressEdt.Installation of RS. The DefaultInstallation did not SetUp the ReportingServices, just installed the files. So I had to configure the ReportingServices on my own. I used the "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". Now I've got some problems configuring the reporting services. First problems are the virtual directories. I've tried some different users for authentification. I used a local user with lower rights, an admin-user, Network Service and IUSR_MachineName for directory security. Tried to use WindowsAuthentification and AnonymousAcces. The AppPool-Identity runs with NeworkService rights. When I browse the page i get an "You are not authorized to view th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista batching : IPendingWork.Commit

  MSDN Says : " The workflow runtime engine calls the Commit method when its semantics dictate that the pending work in the work batch should be committed . When it reaches a commit point, the workflow runtime engine calls the Commit method on each IPendingWork object in its work batch; the workflow runtime engine passes the Commit method the collection of items associated with that IPendingWork object. Either all of the work in a batch succeeds or none of it succeeds. You should throw an exception if any of the work items passed to the Commit method in your implementation cannot be committed. Depending on your implementation, you may want to perform some rollback in your Commit method if it cannot commit its work items. If th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems accessing TFS from a Web Service

  Hello, I have a application that connects to the TFS and retrieves a Work Item. (it's a web service that subscribes to the WorkItemChangedEvent, but since the event does not contain all custom fields of the Work Item, just the core fields and the changed ones, I have to call TFS to get the rest of the fields...) The application has worked for two months, but now I'm running into this every now and then (i.e. some calls succeed, and some fail): Offending code: workItem = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(tfsWorkItemID); Exception: "Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains" Now, I have SP1 installed which is supposed to take care of this (before SP1, you'd get this error every time - it was impossible to access TFS from a web service).

• Visual C# Public field not accessible, forced to create an accessor...why?

  I have run into this multiple times in the life of the app I'm working on. The scenario is simple. I've got a public field in a class that I create an instance of. I cannot access the variable via an instance, but I can if I access it via the base type or if I make it private and create an accessor. Initially, before adding the accessor, both the field and class are public and not static. The only pattern I can follow is that it is consistent across classes. Either all the public fields are open in a class or none. Any ideas on things to look at I can post some code if it comes down to it. Thanks! Greg Hi, yes const fields are static variables, so you must access them at the class level. My pe ...Show All

• SQL Server User's Windows profile prevents user from authenticating to MS SQL Server

• Visual Basic RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED during Word automation from VB2005 when copying in Paint...

  Hi all, I have a problem involving Word automation and the use of Paint. The situation is: A Word-document is being manipulated through automation. When I open Paint and copy (part of) the picture, I get a 'call was rejected by callee' error from the VB2005 application automating Word. When I use sleep(100) and retry (resume) the statement, it works fine. However, as long as the Paint session is open, every action I perform on Word will require a second try. Since there's quite a lot of them, this will slow the application down considerably. As soon as Paint is closed, the Word-automation continues without errors. Interesting detail: this application was upgraded from VB6, with only minimal changes. This problem did not occur in VB6. Does ...Show All

• Visual C++ Dynamic DLL loading deploy

  Hello, I use VS 2003, and I wrote a program that uses dynamic dll loading. I tried all executables to another machine where VS is not installed. The program has an error loading the dynamic dlls. Do you have any idea how I can make it work without installing VS Thanks a lot! If you link dynamically to any dll then you need to have that dll on the same machine where your application is running. If you are specifically speaking about linking dynamically to the CRT, then you will need to deploy the CRT dlls on the target machine. The other option is to link statically to the CRT using the /MT option. Search MSDN for /MT & /MD for more details. Hope this helps! Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All
