• Visual Basic Error 80040154 retreiving COM Class factory

  Greetings, I have a VB.NET application that references a 3rd party Com component. The file is Interop.WINTSRRLIB.dll. My VB.NET application has a project reference to the COM comonent which lives in the directory: C:\WaveTracker. The application runs fine. When I sent it to my customer, he installed in on his desktop machine. It runs fine. Then he copied all of the application files (which live in C:\WaveTracker) to his laptop. However, on his laptop, he gets the error: "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154). Retrieving the COM class factory for component xxxx failed due to the following error: 80040154" The customer swears he has the .NET 2.0 Framework installed properly on his laptop. Any i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Discrepancy when files are deleted

  If I delete a folder than is the local path for a node under source control, it still shows up in the Source Control Explorer that the folder still exists and is the latest version. I even restart VS.NET 2005 and it still shows up in this way. How can I fix this discrepancy When you Get files into your local cache (local PC), the TFVC server keeps track of the files and versions that you have retrieved. If you physically remove the files from the local drive, TFVC doesn't know that they are gone. If you delete the files from Source Control Explorer and then do a check-in to commit the delete, the files are removed from TFVC and from your local drive. The important thing to remember about TFVC is that it wants to control the files ...Show All

• Windows Forms Question about accessing properties, methods from a user control

  Hello! I have a problem which is frustrating me. Why won't the roperties and methods that are inherited from my custom user control work on my Win Form I have declared the properties and methods as Public and Intellisense "sees" the property if I call it from the Form. But, the frustrating part is that the property does not work. It is a simple property that changes the string value of the text on a label. The label's container is a ToolStrip. Here's the property: Public Property DisplayApplicationStatus() As String Get Return Me. label1.Text End Get Set ( ByVal value As String ) Me .label1.Text = value End Set End Property As I stated earlier, VB.NET "sees" ...Show All

• .NET Development Decimal.TryParse failed in da-DK culture.

  I have this code that always return zero whenever i passed 1,000,00 in a da-DK culture or en-US culture. It works with amount less that 1000 like 99,99. but always returns 0 when greater than or equal to 1000. Decimal separator is ",". I suspect its because the decimal and thousand separator are the same.

• Visual Studio Team System Check out file with MSBUild and replace with a new version ?

  Hi, we have a solution called Shared in which we keep some DLLs that are used between solutions. When I use TFS Automated build to compile a solution on the build machine, is there anyway to then take that DLL that was just freshly built, check out the version in Shared and overwrit e the old DLL with the new one and check it back in Do you mean that you are want to run a build which creates a dll and then want to checkin the dll into version control If so, then you can write a script that uses the command line to run a build followed by the desired version control operations. Take a look at the following for using the command line for Build and VC operations. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337622.aspx http://m ...Show All
