• Visual Studio Debugging Visual Studio application

  Hello, We have full licences for Visual Studio and we develop on our local PC's for applications to be used on servers. We have a situation though where we acually need to debug and watch the application on the server where no Visual Studio is installed. Can the application be debugged without the full Visual Studio package being installed, i.e using the .NET framework etc Or would a full version of Visual Studio be required on the server. Thanks in advance You don't have to install the full Visual Studio. You can just install the Remote Debugging component on your server machine. You should be able to find the remote debugging installer from the Visual Studio CD/DVD. ...Show All

• .NET Development I use VB 2005 express and can not connect to SQL server 2005 express on another PC

  When I go to "View, Data Connections" on the menu, it only let me to add 2 types of connections: access and sql server files. But I cannot browse sql servers on my network. The question is: is it possible to have a data connection to a sql server running in another PC (I have actually a server running an instance of sql server 2005 express). Ruben: I'm trying to confirm but I don't believe it will let you use the visual tools to connect to a sql server on the network. Previous versions of VS.NET wouldn't. However you can still connect with Sqlclient - you just couldn't use the visual tools. I believe it's the same here but let me confirm. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Center a panel in a sizeable form

  I have got a form that has a panel on it with controls on the panel. What I am wanting to achieve is to center the panel on the form, reguardless of the monitor size(either square or wide screen).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic windows forms

  Hey, I've only started using Visual Basic tonight, and I've never touched any previous form of VB and/or Visual Studio. So this is probably the newbie-ist question you've seen for a few years if not ever. Anyway, I've got a task set out whereby I must create a testing program as such, with multiple choices. I've created a form for every question, along with a welcome form and a grade form. My question is simply, how do you link the forms, so that a user can click the button labelled "Continue1" and it opens up form2, within the same space and so on and so forth. Any help would be more than gratefully received. Thanks! well to do this, firstly on each form set the Startup Position of ...Show All

• Visual Basic Refreshing the News Channel in the VS2005 Start Page

  I have the option for the start page news channel still set to it's default ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ linkid=45331&clcid=409 ). I noticed that the dates of the articles were way out of date, so I changed the option (Tools | Options | Environment | Startup) for "Download content every" to a different number. Once I clicked OK, the Start page refreshed with the updated article list. I have noticed that this is the same situation on three different machines with VS2005 installed. That is, to get the latest articles, I need to manually adjust the "Download content every:" setting and then click OK. Shouldn't the articles list automatically refresh every time that VS2005 is restarted It seems silly that I ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Update to StatusBar does not Refresh

I never even see my first message even though the action takes up to 3 seconds or so. Plus I am currently removing statusbaritems and rebuilding.
