• Visual C++ Visual Studio Crash on open of one project.

  I am having a problem with Visual studio. I have a solution that consists of 8 projects. And when I open this project VS crashes. If I try to open other projects I have no problem. It is just this solution that causes the fault. I have narrowed it down to one bin directory. If I delete it, the solution will open. Oddly enough, it is my "common" project which has most of the very basic classes and interfaces that are common to the whole solution. So this project has very little complex code. VS opens, shows the project tree, opens all the source files and then the "error list" window comes up shows no errors, and right after that VC crashes and askes if I want to reload VC. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ...Show All

• SQL Server Table Column Comparison Transform

  Is there a transform available which allows you to specify two different tables (same primary key) and compare columns (you identify which column(s) values need to be compared in the transform) between those two tables thanks J.A.J. wrote: I want to be able to compare column values between the two different tables. These tables will have the same primary key but the column names and number of columns will be different. I will have a mapping table that lists which columns are to be compared. As Phil says, a Lookup will help you here. Once you havethe columns in your pipeline then you can probably compare them (you still haven't said what comparison you want to do) using a Derived Col ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS - AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager failed

• Smart Device Development Using FolderBroswerDialog class example in unmanaged C++ code

  Hello I would like a FolderBrowserDialog in my application which is written in unmanaged C++ using wince 5.01 Smartphone SDK. I read that it's not possible to use managed code in unmanaged C++ wince projects so I wonder how I should solve my problem. My plan was to use the example from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5db6b0zy.aspx but since I'm not able to use the C++ example ( I get the /clr error because it's managed ) I don't know which way to go. Is there anyway for me to perhaps create a C# or VB project containing the example code and have that compiled into a lib that I include into my unmanaged C++ project or perhaps linking it directly somehow What other options are there for me to obtain a FolderBrowserDialog in my app ...Show All

  Hi, I'm working with XNA gamestudio for a while now, it's really great but there's no support for model animations I already searched the entire internet for some good tutorial or example but there isn't any.

• Visual C# cannot debug any code once it has changed

  Hi, I have just installed Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and all was well. One day later and I can't debug a new project as I get the error: "The following module was built either with optimizations enabled or without debug information" I can create a new command line project and add the following line of code: Console.WriteLine("Test"); This runs fine...no problem. However when I change that line to: Console.WriteLine("Another Test"); I get the above error. I cannot debug any code once it has changed. I've seen some other posts with the same error but no clear solution. I have worked out that when I delete the .exe file from the bin\debug directory it all works again. The code debugs f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inheriting from inherited user control

  I'm having a problem with a user control generated code, when it inherits from other than UserControl. Steps: 1. Add new User control 2. Replace in the inheritance declaration UserControl for MyBaseUserControl 3. Compile The generated class part is still inheriting from UserControl. You can change the ".g.cs" file, and sometimes you can get it succesfully compiled, but the error cames back again and again :) There is another way to do that Thanks in advance... As the error message indicates, you can inherit from a class that inherits from Window, not from a Window you've created that has a .xaml and a .cs file. The former will be perfectly acceptable as a base class, the second will not. ...Show All

• Visual C++ "Goto Definition" sometimes doesn't work

  In VS2005 SP1, "Goto Defintion" sometimes works fine, other times it takes me to the declaration, not the definition. Sometimes it brings up a long list of possible definitions for me to choose from (as versions previous to VS2005 would do) where there should be no reason to ask me. This is happening even on normal class method names. Sometimes deleting all target files including the .BCS file and rebuilding eliminates the problem; sometimes it doesn't. I had the same problems before installing SP1. How can a basic feature like this still be broken I searched the bug list for "goto definition" and didn't see it, which seems very strange given the bug has been around so long.

• SQL Server Exporting from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2003 DB

  I originally posted http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx postid=900493&SiteID=1 How would I move a db in MSDE 2000 to SQL server 2003. I want to include the db structure and data. The MSDE and SQL Server system use the same file structure to store the information, the only difference is the engine. To move the MSDE Database to a full server install is as easy as backing up the database and restoreing it on the server install. This will work when transfering from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2005 (All Editions). Remember if you need some management tools you can get the SQL Management Studio for SQL Server Express and connect to the database to assist in performing the tasks, or if yo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Create new Webbrowser

  I want to create a new webbrowser and display it in a tab I tried this Dim browser as New Webbrowser in TabControl1.SelectedTab But that doesnt work... hopefully based on that code you know what i'm trying to accomplish.. Okay, I am led into another problem: I need the tab Title to change based on the current navigated page of the browser contained within ALL of the open tabs I think I can use this: Private Sub thebrowser_navigated page TabControl1.TabPages.SelectedTab.Name= thebrowser.URL.Tostring() End Sub But that, if it worked, would only function for the selected tab, not for all the tabs. I need this to work for all tabs, and update as soon as a new page is navigated to. ...Show All
