• Visual Studio Item rename

  Hi all, I am handling SaveAs operation in VS.Net 2003 editor. I want to retrieve the new name of file in save as dialog before saving it finally.For this I am handling Item rename events,but could not get a proper way to retrieve the renamed name. Kindly suggest me a proper way to do so. Thanks and regards, Ruhina Parveen. Thanks Carlos, I have already tried for this approach. I am trying to retrieve the new name from EnvDTE.ProjectItem 's Name field. But it gives you only name not the full path. What i understand is, it retrieves the value from file name field in saveAs dialog. Please correct me if i am wrong. Regards, Ruhina ...Show All

• Visual C# Project won't build anymore - strong named problem

  I have a project which uses a dll full of images. I added a lot of images last night and found it will not compile when a dll has 75 MB of jpgs in it, even if they are not loaded into memory without explicit function calls. So, I built a version with a couple of jpgs, import that into my project, and put the 75 MB one in the folder with the release build. So, when the app runs, it uses the 75 MB dll, and when it builds, it links against a 12 MB dll. This is pretty much how it's worked for ages, excepting that the dll has been 12 MB in both places for some time. Today, when I try to build, I get this error: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(2071,9): error MSB3188: Assembly '..\StockImageLibrary\bin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions cannot open winmm.lib or comctl32.lib

  My problem is that when I try to build one of the sample projects that come with the august 2006 directx SDK, it cannot find the files winmm.lib or comctl32.lib (there might be others, there were only two I tried) and I thought it was probably because I didn't include it in my project directories, but when I searched my computer, it couldn't find any of those two files. What can I do These look as if they are part of the Platform SDK - this not part of Visual C++ Express Edition and you need to install it separately - here are the instructions . ...Show All

• SQL Server 64Bit - How to set maximum memory

  I installed SQL2005 x64 as the default instance on a clean install of Windows 2003 64Bit Standard on a machine with dual 64Bit AMD processors and 4GB RAM. When I bring up the server properties in SQL Mgmt Studio, it shows "Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit)", Platform=NT AMD64, 4GB RAM. But the rest of the properties show as if it were 32-bit. It shows 4 processors instead of the actual 2. In the memory page of the instance properties, it shows the AWE box ready for checking and the maximum memory listbox will not allow a value more than 2GB, as if it were SQL2000 standard. Is there something else I need to do to make the SQLServer 2005 instance realize it is really SQL2005 and 64-bit and it can address RAM above t ...Show All

• SQL Server restoring 2005 backup with 8.0 compatability mode on 2000 - help

  Hi, I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck. It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0. Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature" Anyone else have success doing this Thanks, John Campbell Hi John, If you mean you're trying to restore a MSSQL 2005 database backup (regardless of the compatability mode of the originating ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# vs2005 .Net 2.0 ListView .HitTest(...) always null for ListViewItem

  Hi, I am having a problem with the ListView controls .HitTest method, to be honest I am not sure if this is a misunderstanding on my part. I am trying to provide edit controls for various fields within a ListView control by overlaying various controls (TextBoxes, ComboBoxes etc) onto the clicked Item/SubItem. I originally thought I would have to invoke HitTest from win32 to obtain details of the SubItem under the click region, however I found that the .Net 2.0 ListView impliments .HitTest() directly. It returns a ListViewHitTestInfo object, amoungst the various members of this object are .SubItem and .Item I perform the HitTest in the ListView controls MouseUp event, and it workd as expected so long as the clicked item is a ListViewSubItem ...Show All
