• Visual Studio Team System Opening TSDBPro projects

  Hello, Would it be possible to include support for other editions of team system to open TSDBPro projects and make changes to stored procedures, table amendments etc but to not have access to any of the advanced features like change script generation, refractoring and so on In our department, all developers need to make changes to the database, particularly stored procedures, and so TSDBPro would be useless for us unless everyone could use the generated project, and then one person who is the delegated 'Database Professional' with TSDBPro installed could be responsible for generating the change scripts and such when we need to do a full release or a service pack release. It is not financially viable for all developers to have a team sui ...Show All

• Visual C++ std::map<[any],[any]> linking error

• Visual C++ Static data with DLL

  Hi.. We got a huge library made using C++. We want to call that library from other software like LabVIEW. And the best option I found is DLL. But I come to know that DLL in 32 bit have some issues with static data. i.e. Static data will not be common for all the instances of the applications in 32 bit. Is there any way to over come this problem without chaning much things into the code Two more questions I have is : -> Does DLL is capable working with C++ not C -> When I call any method from other software (i.e. LabVIEW) and close the application, will it call the destructor at the end . Similarly when I we load the DLL, will it call the constructors in the programs Thanks in advance... ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Transparency

  I tried to overlay transparent gif tiles over the map and they don't render transparent. They render white. Has anyone tried to put transparent gifs over the map I am having the same problem with transparent GIF overlay tiles... The problem occurs in IE6 and IE7 rc1 but not in FireFox. I suspect it is due to the custom filter that is applied to the containing element (tile) to support opacity. Firefox and IE use different approaches. If the opacity filter is not going to work in IE, due to an IE limitation, than the VE script for tile overlay handling should not use it when the user specifies fully opaque. That way we can at least render transparent GIF tiles at full opacity. I hope this gets resolved ...Show All

• SQL Server Batch Script

  Hello everyone, I have about 20 dtsx packages to run in a particular order. Some create tables, other fill/convert data, and others just clean/remove temporary tables. Everything works ok manually... But, i need to run them automatically. A batch script seems the quickest and more simple way to do... So, I made a batch with something like this: dtexec.exe file1.dtsx > output1.txt dtexec.exe file2.dtsx > output2.txt dtexec.exe file3.dtsx > output3.txt (the ideia is to save the logs...) My first question is... I get a very usual "product level is insufficient" (0xC00470FE) error on some components... It's wierd because manually works ok. But through the batch it returns lot's of these... I searched for in ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Deployment Issue - File Has Different Computed Hash Than Specified In Manifest - Urgent!

  Hello, originally posted this in the VB General forum - didn't get much response, so I thought I would post it here. I'm trying to deploy a ClickOnce Windows app. I have successfully installed it in the past. I made some changes to the .mdf file I have referenced in my application (I made the changes in SQL Server). When I published the app on another machine, I started receiving the error message "File ....mdf, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest". I tried a number of different suggestions that people have made on these forums, but no luck - I tried building the app twice, then deploying; I tried manually updating the revision number; I tried creating a new Test Certificate; I tried signing the assembly; I t ...Show All

• SQL Server V Lookup in SQL

  Hi All, Is there a SQL Equivalent of the VLookup Function in Excel Or can some one tell me about the logic using which I can accomplish this Thanks Here's one way to answer your question... Use union all statements, provided the number of levels is fixed and not constantly changing.

• Visual C# probem with generics

  Hi, I've written the the code below: static public void Test<T>(T arg) { write(arg); } static public void write( char c) { Console .WriteLine( "char" ); } static public void write( int c) { Console .WriteLine( "int" ); } It should be possible to write like this: Test('c'); or Test(10) and the appropiate write methods should be called. When I try to compile it I get two errors: Error 1 The best overloaded method match for 'tester.Program.write(char)' has some invalid arguments. Error 2 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'T' to 'char'. Is there another way to make the templated method call the appropiate methods. It seems to me that writing some ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Studio 2005 installation issue

  I uninstalled VS 2003 and VS 2005 due to framework conflicts and settings issues. Now, I am trying to install VS 2005 and getting this error - 'A trial edition is already installed on this computer. You must uninstall the previous trial before installing another trial'. I have uninstalled every bit related to Visual Studio and deleted all the related registry keys. Still unable to get through this issue ! Darn ! Any clue This error is caused by installing a trial edition, then uninstalling it and trying to install the trial edition again. This logic is in place to prevent users from uninstalling and reinstalling the trial edition when the time limit runs in order to artificially extend the trial period. You will need to make sure ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to access the publish version in the software?

  So, the publish utility has a nifty version incrementing thing. Only, the Application.Version number is completely different. I'm hoping to display the vesion (publish version) somewhere on the screen to allow beta testers an easy way to idenitify which they are using. I looked through the forums but only found ways of setting the version. What I'd like to do is just use the one already there in publish. to answer my own question: if (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) this.Text=System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString(); ...Show All

• Visual C# Static Class Overhead

  Hi, We were doing some refactoring here and had a discussion concerning static classes. Basically we have a set of classes with a bunch of methods in them that refer to strings. Now I have recommended that all strings should be defined as constants at the top of each class so that if a string needs to change we only change it in one place and not have to go through every method finding every instance of it. So basic good practice. Now with C# 2 came static classes. So the debate is to whether we should drop the constant strings out into a seperate static class and then refer to them in the method like a property of the static: i.e string myVariable = MyStaticClass.MYSTRING; as opposed to string myVariable = MYSTRING; W ...Show All
