• Visual Studio File xxx does not retain old versions of itself

  We are using Visual Studio 2005 Deveoper edition and VSS 6.0d. A few months ago we migrated our web application from ASP.Net 1.1 to 2.0. we are having a couple of issues with source control once we started using VS2005. I'll list them in order of priority: 1. Certain newly added files do not maintai their earlier versions. When I look at the history I can see who checked in and when but when I click on Diff, I get the message : "file <filename> does not retain old versions of itself", I checked properties of the file and the 'store only latest version ' box is unchecked. What is even more frustating is that, this does not happen with all files. 2. Editing a file without checking out seems to check that file out. Earlier VS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Lets talk about rendering performance

  Hello. Our company distributes a vertical market accounting app which we've migrated from Crystal Reports to the WinForms ReportViewer. Our installed base is around 6,000 end users. We've found the viewer to be a solid product and we're pleased with the functionality and stability. That said, we may be forced to abandon reporting services for some applications due to performance issues. As an example, we have a report that processes 10,000 rows and perhaps 20 columns. On a 3 GHz machine with 2GB RAM, it takes 40 seconds to render the report (not counting query time). In addition, ReportViewer consumes approx 400MB of memory for this process (after garbage collection). These results won't cut it when a user is waiting for real-time outpu ...Show All

• .NET Development Custom SoapFilter for WSE 3

  Hello I'm developing custom SoapFilter for WSE 3.0. Is there a way to find out the type of exception occurred during the execution of WebMethod. The SoapEnvelope parameter of ProcessMessage method has a Fault property, but this fault property always contains SoapException, not the original type of the exception. How to find out the original type of the exception Best regards Stephan Zahariev Hi Stephan, I have bad news for you, it is not possible to get the original exception from a WSE filter. I had the same problem when I was trying to implement an exception shielding solution for the Patterns & Practices team. (Web Service Security Patterns). Regards, Pablo. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rectangle collision detection help

  Hi, I'm learning how to use collision detection in sprites, and I've decided to use Rectangles. Basically, I program the game to make a rectangle around each of the 2 sprites and, when I move the sprites via keyboard input, it moves the box with them.( Now, I'm doing this to test collision detection. Heres the bit of code that doesn't work: if(Sprite1box.Right == Sprite2box.Left) { Sprite1pos.X += 5; Sprite1box.X += 5; } (Where Sprite1box = The rectangle aroudn the first sprite, Sprite2box = the rectangle around the 2nd sprite, and Sprite1pos is the vector of the 1st sprite) This doesn't work - the sprite just moves right through the second sprite. Now, I figured I must've done something wrong ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle Aug CTP: <seealso> tag not working

  With documentation comments like: /// <summary> /// Here is the summary of the class. /// <seealso cref="OtherClass" /> /// </summary> The generated text in my CHM file looks like Here is the summary of the class. OtherClass If I put the <seealso> tag outside of the <summary> element, the seealso text doesn't show up at all.

• Visual C# Invalid Resx file. A strongly-named assembly is required.

  I've been randomly getting this error on a few of my forms in one of my projects for about a week now. Its always the same forms each time and its always in the same place (its the closing tag of a <data> element with the same base-64 encoded resource each time). It seems arbitrary whether or not I get this and usually restarting visual studio will get rid of it, but sometimes i have to restart it several time. The really weird thing is that no one else on my team has gotten this and we're all working off of the same codebase. I've tried blowing away my local copy of the source and getting a completely fresh copy form source control and that seems to help it for a bit, but it always comes back. Has anyone ever seen this or anyone ha ...Show All
