• Windows Forms Uninstall - Files don't remove

  =============================================================================== Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005 Technology: Visual Basic .NET =============================================================================== I am trying to perfect my install and uninstall for a Windows Forms application I have built using VB.NET. I am placing most of the application files in C:\Windows\MyApplication. When I uninstall the application, the folders and some of the files remain on the system. Not only do they remain, but the folders become protected and the system will not allow me to delete them. Then when I attempt to reinstall the application, the system will not allow it because it does not have permission to overwrite th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can someone verify this for me, It's driving me nutz

  Basically I need the base class to have a virtual function that can call out. Here's a simplified example. #include <iostream> #include <tchar.h> class base { public : virtual void Initialize() { } }; class foo : public base { public : void Initialize( int a) { Initialize(); } }; class foobar : public foo { public : void Initialize() { std::cout << "I need to be here..." << std::endl; } }; int _tmain( int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { foobar f; f.Initialize (10); return 0; } Wojtek Jonathan Caves - MSFT wrote: The first is that name lookup in a class ...Show All

• .NET Development Intellisense not working

  Hi, I have a project that I have been working on for a few weeks now, but when I opened it yesterday, all my Intellisense (for self-coded elements) has disappeared. The .ncb file is still in the right place, and I didn't change any code, but still today there is no Intellisense - is there anyway to force .Net to rebuild the intellisense file for a project Thanks, IxxI Is everything missing or just the documentation portion (i.e. you see MyClass.Foo but not the descrption and parameter info)   Does the FCL show up fine but not your personal code   Intellisense uses reflection (I believe) to get the type and member information.  For the actual summary and parameters it relies on the generated ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK2001: using unmanangedC++ in manC++

  Hi, i'm writing a new user-interface for a small software-company. The old interface should be replaced by the new one, the "inner core" should stay. The old program was written in unmanaged C++, but now I'm writing the user-interface in C#, so I have to use class wrappers. While building the managed C++-project (in a solution with the unman. C++-projects) there a some errors. For example: Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argv nafxcwd.lib and Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argc nafxcwd.lib Another one: Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __pgmptr db.lib [db is one of the old unmanaged C++-projects] The settings are the following: Linker->Input->Add.

• SQL Server LastProcessed property on AMO processable objects

  Processable objects in AMO (dimensions and partitions in this case) have a LastProcessed property. When does that property get updated Is it when the processing starts, or when it ends The LastProcessed property is updated at the end of a successful process. During the processing the LastProcessed date will reflect the end of the previous processing (as will the data). When the processing completes successfully the transaction is committed, the new data is made available for querying and the LastProcessed property is updated. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AssertNotDisposed Blows Chunks

  ADO Orcas Team: It really sucks that you added invocations of AssertNotDisposed in ObjectContext. I don't remember anything implicit in the Dispose pattern that suggests that access to members of disposed objects should be restricted. Are you re-interpreting the idiomatic expectations of the semantics of the Dispose pattern by putting in arbitrary restrictions to state access on disposed instances of ObjectContext I can understand that you might wanna do something special for objects on the finalization queue, but the current implementation seems like a bit of overkill. It looks like more safety measures for clumsy people. It would be much nicer if you would simply let the chips fall where they may in regards to accessing state on a di ...Show All

• SQL Server Sum of a TextBox, is this possible?

  I have a text box in a group that displays a list of numbers. For requirement reasons, I need to set some of the numbers in this textbox to zero (0). I then want to get the sum of all the numbers in the textbox, but I can't simply take the sum of the value in the cell because of the numbers set to zero. Any Thoughts Can one do this Thanks If you want the zero's to carry over, just use the same expression that sets those values to zero in the sum. For example, suppose the expression you use to set some of the numbers to 0 is =IIF(<condition>, 0, Fields!field1.Value), the sum expression would look like this: =Sum(IIF(<condition>, 0, Fields!field1.Value)). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System changing TFS server name

Now the team wants to change this server to be a production server. according to naming standarts, the team wants to change the server name. has anyone encountered a similar scenario and configured some best practices for that. I myself can think of 2 difirent scenarios: 1. ghost the server, change the server name, start troubleshooting any araising problems (not that good i suppose). 2. ghost the server, uninstall the tfs server, change the server name, install tfs from scratch. any ideas guys try this approach.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed"

  I am copying and pasting rtf into word through automation and occasionally i will get the error "Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed". Usually when this happens the only fix to get it to work again is to close word and reopen it, or sometimes i have to completely reboot. Any idea what causes this issue, or anyway around it without using the clipboard besides writing to a file and inserting into the document. I really don't want to touch the disk due to performance reasons, as there may be hundreds or thousands of generated small rtf pieces to insert into various places. the VBA forums are of great help when a problem has to do with the application's behavior and/or its object model.
