• Visual Basic VS2005 with VB 6.0 Installed

  Hi, I installed VS2005 in a PC that already had VB 6.0 installed. Now whenever I open VB 6.0 a message "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU" appears and then it will ask for the cd. What is it trying to do Will there be any conflict between the 2 IDEs Not sure what it is trying to do or why you are having this issue. VB6, VB.NET 03. and VB.NET 05 are all capable of side by side installations. Try putting in the cd as suggested and see if it will take care of the issue ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Trying to create a global variable

  I am trying to create a global variable in a user form within Microsoft Excel. I know the variable must be in the General area. So I type: bt = Sheets(10).Range("G25").value then I click play(run), but that highlights "G25" and says : Compile Error: Invalid outside procedure I tried just typing: bt="hello" And then I hit play(run), and it highlighted "hello" and gave me the same error. What am I doing wrong Hey Derek, I figured that part out last night, but I did not need a variable that would work outside of a userform, just outside the "private sub". So in the module i created a line: public const bt as string = Sheets(1).Range("g25").value But I dont think ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable. Thanks Chandra Hi We do not have C# projects. We have only C++ projects. We have around 200 to 250 projects in a solution... So how to disable intellisence in C++ projects. Thanks Chandra ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6.FixedLengthString(intBufferSize)

  When converting VB6 code to VB 2005, I get some conversions that are in the form "VB6.FixedLengthString(cintBufferSize)". This usually occurs in a Type declaration where a string has to be of a certain length. What does this mean, and what would be the correct format to use in a Structure in VB 2005 Thanks, Mike if a string has to be of a fixed length, you can either: 1) use a stringbuilder and specify a specific capacity (and best practice to do this for handling strings) 2) take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvbpj01/html/gs0601.asp I guess from reading it, you can specify the "space" length: Dim theString as String = Space( leng ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook Add-in : best way to deploy minor/major updates after using setup project?

  If I initially deploy my Outlook add-in using the setup project (to test for prereqs, grant security and create registry entries), what is the easiest way to deploy minor updates Do I just need to over write the assembly and application manifest files on the target machine What if I want to use the Publish wizard Can I mix the deployment methods in this way or is there an issue with the fact that the publish wizard creates subfolders for updates For more major updates where I need to uninstall the add-in via add/remove programs, how can I code my setup project so that it uninstalls any existing versions of the add-in before trying to update the new version Thanks, Tad I'm not sure t ...Show All

• SQL Server Has "Select All" option been checked for Multi-Valued Parameter?

  Greetings. I have downloaded the patch to SP1 that restores the Select All choice for MVP. I am now wondering if there is a clean way (property ) to know if the Select All box is checked. My reason for needing this is that I want to selectively print a block near the top of the report that shows all of the parameters used to create the report. There are many blocks of parameters and each can have 5-10 possible choices. It would be much cleaner if I could print "all" rather than list all of the possible values, if in fact that category was not really used to filter the rows. Perhaps I need to build a dynamic where clause but I would rather not go to that trouble if I can use a built in feature or property. Thanks in ...Show All

• Visual C++ i++ or ++i which one efficient

You said that there is no difference between the two in a loop, and this is not correct. Consider for(vector<sometype>::iterator i = vec.begin(); i != vec.end(); ... ) . There will be a noticable difference between doing a pre and post increment on the iterator. The latter, i++ , will result in the iterator copying some internal data to a temporary, incrementing the actual data, then returning the tempo ...Show All

• Visual C# curve length & area problem

  greetings, can anyone help me about calculating the length and the area of a curve/closed curve I urgently need help, code or just the method ... I'm using .net 2005, c#. and I'm drawing the curve with using simply the points. thanks in advance. Hi! A simple way to calculate the area under the curve would be to iterate through the pixels from left to right and add the y-position of each point on the curve to the overall area - of course, this only works, if you've got the exact position of each pixel. Besides, it is not really accurate as you can't calculate "inter"-pixels. So, have you got an equation describing the curve (or at least each part of the curve) If so, you could differe ...Show All

• Architecture Lost SNK File

  Hi, I do sharepoint web part development. I lost the SNK file (somebody deleted) which was used to sign an assembly. Now i use a different SNK file and as a result i have a NEW Public Key Token different from the OLD assembly (its token was generated from the old snk file which i lost). When i try to deploy the web part which i signed with the NEW token, it is NOT overwriting the old web part. But i'm able to add this web part any new page. It just doesn't overwrite the old one. I have around 200 sites which use this web part. Is there a way to overwrite it instead of doing Remove Old / Add New in 200 sites manually I have the old DLL and CAB file and i know the old Token. But i don't have the SNK file which generated it. How c ...Show All

• SQL Server using SQL Express in file mode on Vista

  Hi! We use SQL Express in our Applikation in file mode. Users can create databases in different folders and pathes. Each time a user loggs into our applikation, we attach the db he choosed, and every time he closes the applikation, we detach the db. While this works fine in Windows XP, we have serious problems with Windows Vista. We tried a connectiong string with "attachdbfilename", "sp_attach_db" and SMO server.AttachDatabase Where could we get some more advice for our problem. It is in fact an issue of UAC.
