• Visual Studio Step Into(F11) Problem with VS2003

  In the Solution I have 2 projects - one is a Windows Application - and the second is a C# DLL file that has functions and classes defined. The Windows form calls a function in the C# file, when a button is clicked in the form. Problem: I am trying to debug this function. Single step debug using Step into (From Debug menu) or F11 as the shortcut. However, when I hit F11 to step into the function, .NET will not go and allow me to debug the funtion one line at a time. It will not go to the function in the C# DLL at all, but rather behaves as if I hit "Step Over F10" and proceeds to next line of code in windows form without going to the C# DLL. I have the reference of the C# Dll in the app. Also tried putting Break points in the C# ...Show All

• SQL Server Third Major Flaw with Reporting Services!

  What is the way to keep multiple detail rows together on one page. There seems to be no future to keep multiple detail rows together. I'm not talking about table keep together, group page break or anything like that. I have 3 rows that need to be in one page at all times. Is there anyway that this is possible Enkh OK let me see if I can clarify.. maybe I misunderstood your problem. Let's suppose you have a result set that you are grouping by name, and under each record's name you want a detail row for address, SSN, phone number. Each of these details are in separate rows underneath the group. So, sometimes you will see a person's Name and address on the bottom of page 1, and then page 2 will hav ...Show All

• Visual C++ Memory bloat when using Visual Studio

  Visual Studio 2005 has been taking up 600MB+ of memory, with a VM footprint around the 1200MB mark. I thought it might have been a plugin I use, Visual Assist, but I’ve uninstalled it and still have this problem. It will happen with normal use, but happens much quicker if I attach/detach the debugger to an application a few times. Anybody have any thoughts on what might be causing this Thank you both for your replies. I have looked at some articles on TechNet that were related to memory thrashing, though none of them were all that useful in my situation. Neither of the hotfixes pertain to my situation either, since I do not do any Web application developement. I did try to reinstall VS 2005 SP1 though ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sql reporting services on another instance on the data tier

  Hi there, I am attempting to upgrade team foundation server from RC to RTM. I have a dual server setup. On the data tier server, reporting services is installed but on a different SQL server instance as opposed to the default instance used by tfs. We use the reporting services installation for other purposes. We use a separate app tier server for tfs which will have reporting services installed. Unfortunately, the tfs installation on the data tier fails after the pre-requisites check due to the presence of reporting services. Is there any work-around other than un-installing reporting services, for ex: disabling the installation from checking for the presence of reporting services on the data tier. It will be very painful :( for us to un-i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Scaling images

  Hi to all! I am facing this problem: I need to read an image from disk, display it scaling its dimensions to fit a certain area in my form while keeping its original aspect ratio and finally saving it in a new file with the new dimensions. The first two steps are easy: I can use a graphic object or a picture box control adjusting heigth and width to correctly fit my image; for example, if I get a 1000x500 pixel image and I need to display it in a 500x500 area I can do something like this: Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile("c:\test.jpg") Dim gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics gr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, 500, 250) Everything works well, but I can't find a way to save in another file the scaled-down image I have obtained: I cannot set h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: Refactor across a whole project

  The schema that I am currently working with has over 1000 tables in it. It was created using scripts that have been adapted from oracle scripts. Obviously the person that did the conversion didn't bother about things like best practice and just did a find and replace on the Oracle script until it got to a syntax that SQL Server would accept. Hence we have the following problems now inherent: Every field that should be an integer is a numeric(8,0) We have VARCHAR(1) fields. This is bad practice - they should be CHAR(1) These VARCHAR(1) fields contain the value "Y" or "N". This would be better represented as a bit field. Loads of others... I am not going to go through 1000 tables to search for all ...Show All

• .NET Development GetBytes() issue - attemting to load into a MemoryStream object

  Hi all, I have a column in my database that is of type image (bytes) and what to load this data into a System.IO.MemoryStream object but can't seem to find out how to do it. Hopefully, someone out there would have had experience of doing this and can show me the way. I have the following code... System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(objSqlCeDataReader.GetBytes(0, 0, null, 0, int.MaxValue)); ...which I know is wrong as I think this call to GetBytes() only returns the size/length of the total bytes as I am passing in a null buffer (3rd param). How can I do the database call and pass it into the MemoryStream object in one scoop Thanks Hi, Take a look at this article for sample code: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/da ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to Disable Smoothing when scaling texture2d ?

  Hi, To start with xna, i've decided to make a simple chip8 emulator. The original window size is 64x32, so once the codes are interpreted and the screen is drawn in my chip8 class i call SetData() to draw everything on a single texture2d. The problem is that when i use the Scaling parameter all the pixels are smoothed... In another program this could be helpfull, but in this case it gives really ugly ... So hwo can i disable smoothing pixels when scaling a texture2d or, is there another way to render my screen (it's an int array of size 64*32) Thank you . You need to use SpriteSortMode.Immediate if you want to override any renderstate values. Otherwise, the SpriteBatch will do all the actual drawing (including sett ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bug: Navigation Link in Page Header doesn't trigger Drillthrough Event

  I have a report that had a few sub reports. For the user to return to the report he just came from, I provide a link in the Header of the report. This link does not call the Drillthough handler (webforms) and since I have to establish subreport datasources in this handler the report breaks. If I place the same textbox in the body of the report, all works as expected. While regular hyperlink actions in page header/footer are supported in the controls, drillthrough links in page header/footer are not supported in local mode. If the control runs in server mode and points to a report server with the upcoming SSRS 2005 SP2, drillthrough links in page header/footer should work. -- Robert ...Show All

I'm curious in what runtime files I need I'm sure it requires .NET 2.0, DirectX 9.0c, but are there some extra dlls that I need Thanks in advanced.
