• Visual Basic Unload VB.Net ComClass from VB6??

  Anyone know how to unload a vb.net dll that is created in a vb6 exe I am able to create a new instance of the dll and it runs without error... The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to unload it. I've tried something like "set myVBNETDll = nothing" in the vb6 code, but it doesn't kickoff the finalize() in the vb.net dll. Suggestions Thanks. If you have a Finalize method in your class it will be called sometime after all references to the object are gone. That's regardless if the client is managed or native code. That doesn't mean that the DLL will be unloaded though. The only way to unload a loaded assembly is to unload the entire appdomain. ...Show All

• SQL Server sqlcmd :r and spaces

  I've been pulling my hair out with this for a bit and thought I'd post a solution. The problem is that if the file name :r reads contains spaces, it almost always gives an error. The solution isn't great and if anyone has something better I'd love to see it: :setvar dir "C:\test dir\" :setvar file "my file.sql" PRINT '$(dir)$(file)' :r $(dir)$(file) GO :setvar file "my file 2.sql" PRINT '$(dir)$(file)' :r $(dir)$(file) GO :setvar file "my file 3.sql" PRINT '$(dir)$(file)' :r $(dir)$(file) GO Hope this helps someone. Thanks Robert, That only works if the filename is a constant. I suppose I could search and replace but then I'd have to hunt through the script to see if ...Show All

  Using VS 2003 C#, XP SP2. I have developed a 'Class Library' but I'm getting the "No source code available for the current location" error message when trying to call a method in the class library for a certain class. My solution contains both class library project but also the windows appliction that uses the functionality implemented in the class library. In the "References" section of the windows application I added the class library as a "Project" referring to the source code directory where the source code of the class library is located. I have deleted all files for all sub projects for the solution and rebuilt it, but still I'm getting the "No source code..." error message when trying to step into method in class library. ...Show All

• SQL Server User is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

  I set up SQL Express and Visual Studio Team System for the first time yesterday. I created a web service (on my localhost IIS) and added an MDF file to my App_Data folder. I added a table with five fields.

• Visual Studio Warning and Error text missing from VS Output window

  I have a class that inherits from Task. Through this class's Log property I log errors, warnings, and messages. The Warning or Error text shows up in the msbuild output and in the Visual Studio Error List. However the warning or error text does not show up in the VS Output window. Text for Messages (any importance) show up in the Output window but not the VS Error List. How can I get warning and error messages to show in the Output window (and possibly messages in the VS Error List) Here is an example of my output: Visual Studio Output window: c:\somefile.txt (2,3)Error AB5901: msbuild output: c:\somefile.txt (2, 3): My Company Subsystem error AB5901: An error has occurred.

• Visual Studio Team System Synchronisation between repository and local files / folder

  Hi all, I know that a workspace synchronizes the repository with the local copy, i.e. if I delete files in the repository the local copy is removed too. The same seems to apply when I unmap a local folder that is controlled by a workspace: a forced get latest will remove the local folder. Now what I'm interested in is the following: I want to create a folder that contains all dependencies of a project. The project simply points to the files inside that directory. That directory would be located under a folder that is controlled (mapped) by a workspace. Now the question is: when I copy the files into that directory using xcopy can I be sure that this directory is not removed by the workspace It is important that it is not deleted. I could ...Show All

• Visual Studio How does msbuild determine whether a project should be built?

  I'm trying to figure out what msbuild does exactly to figure out whether a project should be built or not, because it seems that projects that haven't changed, are not built. Does it use the obj directory or the compiled assemblies in any way MSBuild will always build a project. However it may not build all of the targets inside of the project. This will depend on whether or not the outputs produced by the targets are up to date with respect to the inputs. When MSBuild builds a project it will compare the inputs of the targets with the outputs of the targets based on the timestamp of these inputs and outputs. If the inputs are newer then the outputs then the target will build. This partial building ...Show All
