Ricardo 8a Better buy used...those are rather dated titles (2001 & 2002). If you are using Visual Studio 2005 you might want to also check out : "Pro Visual C++ / CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform" by Stephen Fraser. http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Visual-C%2B%2B-NET-Platform/dp/1590596404/sr=8-1/qid=1165809668/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9935884-8953558 ie=UTF8&s=books Like all books its not 100% complete, nor deep in some areas (its only 85 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Database Projects and other Team System flavors...

  I'm currently looking at moving to database projects for all of our database code. I've used the older type of database project and though while not nearly as good as the new type, it has many benefits over no database project at all. I would really like to use datadude and have everything in the new database project format, however I need to enable the developers to change the database code. Is an upgrade/patch in the works for the developer version of team system to read the new database projects This is the only thing holding me back from updating the database team to using datadude. Can someone from the team please answer this It looks like from the developer version they could edit individual files, but I'm assumin ...Show All

• SQL Server SaveAs/Export

  Is there away with the reports to code to have them export into a excel template (a specific one) and have each report go into a different tab When I run the reports manually I can save to excel put not a pre-existing template. Each report has 3 to 12 stored procedures it needs to run so I am just not sure how to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance! Stokh If each policy_type can share the same report layout, then you should be able to use the same subreport for each policy_type. By putting the subreport into a list, it will repeat for as many rows as you have in your query. If you need different layouts for each policy type, unfortunately you won't be able to use this method; the ReportName element on a SubReport c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compile a stand-alone cpp using the IDE

  Hey guys, can anyone tell me if it is possible to compile a stand-alone cpp using the Visual C++ Express IDE. I've seen in the other threads that it's possible using the command prompt compiler. But I dont want that! How do I compile a .cpp file without using a project It was possible in previous versions of VC++ (atleast to my knowledge!), in that if you try to compile a .cpp without a project, it would make a temporary project and compile it, doing all that in the background. Plus, in another thread, someone said I should uncheck the 'Save new projects when created' option in the 'Projects and Solutions' node in the Options dialog (Tools > Options). But it's still not working. There is no Build option for the stand-alone. What do I do ...Show All

• Visual C++ Command Line Compiler mscorlib Location

  Is there a command line argument in Microsoft's C++/CLI compiler that prevents the compiler from looking for mscorlib.dll in: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\ Our build environment requires that all builds be consistent and reproducible. This means that there should be as little reliance as possible on the configuration of the particular machine used to build the software. We require all components referenced during the build process to come from a single shared location, not from the user's local hard drive. C# and VB both provide the "/nostdlib" command line argument but I cannot find anything similar in C++/CLI. Any thoughts Try using: Tools + Options (Show all ...Show All

• SQL Server The PIVOT SQL construct or statement is not supported.

  I am trying to use a Pivot T-SQL statement in the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard in Visual Studio 2005. I get the error message "The Pivot SQL construct or statement is not supported". Then it executes the SQL statement as if there were no error. Unfortunately, it will not create the table adapter because of the error. Below is the T-SQL statement I am using.

• Visual Studio Just add one XML file. NDoc works for 2.0!

  I really need to generate some documentation under .Net 2.0. I know that this issue has been raised in a previous post few month ago, but no explicit solution has been provided. Also the NDoc project seems dead (as suggest the broken wiki). Does anyone has a practical (even minimal) solution to generate documentation for .Net 2.0 Thanks in advance, Joannes I found this article (Japanese only) http://blogs.wankuma.com/yaneurao/archive/2006/02/23/21472.aspx and he said, just create NDocGui.exe.config file inside bin folder where NDocGui.exe is located. < xml version="1.0" > <configuration> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" /> <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.43 ...Show All
