• Visual Studio Team System Install Load test agent and controller in unattended mode

  Hi, I tried to install load test agent and controller in unattended mode but failed with exception. I create a network image, copy all setup files there. Use "setup /createUnattend" to create an unattend file in the network image. Modify the unattend file, change "InstallActionInteger=5" to "InstallActionInteger=1". Then use "setup /UnattendFile" to execute the setup, but get an exception like below: Event Type: Error Event Source: MsiInstaller Event Category: None Event ID: 10005 Date: 12/25/2006 Time: 8:16:39 PM Description: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Load Controller - ENU -- Error 33010.There's a problem with the setup package.

• Windows Forms Need Strategy for Result Set

  I am building a Lookup Criteria screen in VB.NET WinForms 2005 (SQL Server). Users select criteria, and I generate SQL to fill a Results DataSet, which includes a tag column (checkbox). The server is remote, and the Winforms app is on laptops connected via the internet. Users can select (tag) several records, or click a button to TagAll. For the Tagged records, users should be able to Print records Send e-mail Perform mail-merge Browse and pull up the Detail screen, or click to next Detail screen via Navigation controls Etc. Updating is not currently necessary (in fact, I do not want to modify the underlying database) I previously did this in MS Access by using a temp table to store the Results records. But since I am n ...Show All

• Smart Device Development OpenFileDialog Filter capabilities for specific file names.

  Hi, I'm trying to use OpenFileDialog filter to filter both a group of *.txt files and a specific file using: OpenFileDialog1.Filter = _ "Specific File|SpecificFile.txt| Text files (*.txt)|*.txt" OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory() = "TextFileDir" OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() In the TextFileDir directory I have a large number of files. I would like to be able to execute the ShowDialog() with a specific file already selected (highlighted).

Is there a way to use OpenFileDialog to have a specific file pre-selected Hello Sab2, W ...Show All

• .NET Development Create a Shell Extension Handler thumbnail extractor with .net?

  Hi, My application creates nice graphics see http:// www.mavericksplan.com/mavericks  and it saves a custom document type. I'd like to show the contet of the document in Explorer when the user switch to Thumbnail view. To implement this feature I understand I need to create a Shell Extension Handler Thumbnail Extractor that extract the image from my file type to feed Explorer thumbnail vew, which is not easy at all for me. I look on the web and I found 1 C++ example and none in C#. Does anybody have a sample code to create a Shell Extension Handler thumbnail extractor with .net in C# Thank you Andrea That's still wrong.

• SQL Server Deploying CLR sps or functions which call a web service to a production server

  Dear fellow developers, I have successfully developed a Transact-SQL stored procedure which calls a CLR function, which calls a web service. I am using a Visual Studio 2005 SQL Server Project to perform the necessary magic. Is there a neat way to deploy this stuff to a production server It is bad enough deploying the sp and function, but the web server proxy also needs to be changed to refer to the production web service. This all looks very nasty and complicated. Am I missing something I have identified the cause of the trouble deploying CLR code to a production server. I had copied the database to the production server, then attached it to SQL Server. This appears to mess up the security to such an extent that it ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I install XNA Game Studio Express over Visual Studio Std or TS?

  I understand the support for VS Express to use XNA Game Studio Express, but as a professional developer, but a hobbyist game developer I don't want to have to install VS Express. Any plans or hacks to get it to install over VS instead of VS Express I got the impression it required VS Express installed to work with comments like "Express and Standard can be installed side by side". Seems silly that you'd need freely down-loadable package to get it to work. But, that's just me. ...Show All

• Visual C++ indexed property definition in .cpp

  Hello I can put the split the code for a simple property between the h. and .cpp as follows: // .h file public ref class MyClass { property int Capacity { int get(); } } // .cpp file MyClass:: Capacity::get() { ...// Possibly lots of code here. return cap; } However, I can't find the syntax for similarly putting the code for an indexed property in the .cpp file. I've experimented without success. For example, if I have the following in a .h, property double default [ int ] { double get( int index) { ... // Lots of code here, say. return value; } } I would like to reduce the the above to something like the following and put the rest in the .cpp. property do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Creating new templates

  Hello VSTO Developers, I have a solution that updates into a database on the save event.  It is more like a data entry form than a word document.  Anyway, it is a Word 2003 template project and I was wondering how to basically "restart" the template on say the File New event.  I just want to open a new instance of Word, and start that instance with the original template file which has XML nodes and some tables in it already Is this something that can be done   I dont want to open a dialog box for ease of use, just re-open the original template that has been saved (hopefully) by the user into a new instance of Word or in the same instance, as long as the modified entry form is disposed of.  To get a new blank ...Show All

• SQL Server Bulk insert and splitting content into collumns

  Hi, when i try to load XML file into a table with bulk insert, i get bunch of errors: Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 1 (cislo_subjektu). My guess it is, that it has something to do with 11 different collumns defined in dbo table and this command's lack of some specification about where to put which value.

  how to resize mpeg file as per size of the picture box this is not a simple topic to cover - you need to know about how to handle video streams and the formatting and so on. It's not a simple task at all.
