• SQL Server Remarks on CTP3 for V.S T.E for Database Professionals

  Hi everyone, I've got the last CTP for V.S 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals. I have a poor idea what exactly is it for. I suppose some stuff but I don’t know if you can build front-end solutions with that or only to encompass project databases. Anyway, w hen I run setup.exe in order to install on my workstation it's complaining that I’ve got Framework 2.0 Beta installed. I remove it. Fine. After that begins and at the first attempt fails with SMO and setup is aborted. In my wk I haven’t either sql 8.0 or 9.0 so that I imagine it is compulsory… Can you please provide me a fast feedback regarding its possibilities and main features Thanks in advance and regards, You should post these sorts ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Optimistic way of storing info on a PPC??

  Hi, I need to store an ArrayList generated by my application on the PPC for furthur access. Right now i store it in an XML file. But i have an optimization prob. Reading from the XML file takes more than 3 sec. The startup form of my app actually needs to access this file and display a listview corresponding the elements in the ArrayList stoted on the PPC. Can any one suggest whats the better and fastest way of storing and retreiving info on a PPC ( Sorry, Database is an exception, coz my app needs to be run on variety of platforms like smartphone which do not have the d/b) Thankx, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Framework and Windows Installer not present

  I am deploying a project on a large number of user machines. On a W2K machine, when I tested the MSI, it of course, did not have the Framework or the correct version of Windows Installer. But I did get the expected error messages. So I am going to issue install instructions that state the order of install is to first install these two items, and then install the application. Do any of you do anything different Lacking resplies from anyone else, maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Sometimes there are bugs that everyone knows about, except me. Perhaps the right question is... Does this feature work for anyone at all If I don't hear from any more people, that this works for ...Show All

• Visual Studio code to write a class designer

  Hi Guys, I am trying to make a software where user can design his own class diagram but I am having a trouble in getting the code that can be used to generate a class diagram in an application. i.e if a user clicks a class diagram button then a class diagram appears on the screen so that user can then input the necessary information in it. It would really help me if I can get some feedback or information, where I can get it. cheers, I am me Before I go into details, let me make sure I understand your question - please correct or confirm the following assumption: you would like to customize the "View Class Diagram" command available in Visual Studio 2005 today from Solution Explorer or Class Vi ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums No maps in 3d view!

  Hi I recently upgraded my VE code to v4, and whilst the 2d stuff still works perfectly well (even the Birds' Eye View works fine), all i get in 3D view is a green blur (i.e. just the globe) regardless of my zoom level. It doesn't matter where i look at in the world - whether it be here in the UK or anywhere in the US. It's almost as if the 3D tiles aren't loading, as the navigation control and the orientation widget are both present. I just can't see any details on anything - very frustrating! The 3D examples on the maps.live.com (i.e. Tower of London and the Millennium Wheel) do exactly the same thing, so it's not my code at fault. Has anyone any ideas as to what might be going on Thanks Spencer ...Show All

• Visual C# Identifyng Generics and Enums in a C# "where" clause

  In generics, you can add constraints on the type argument using the where clause e.g.: public class List<T> where T: IList… My question is what should you put in the where clause to filter only 1. nullable types 2. enums I already look for this in the web and didn't find an answer, so it's not trivial. For example: All the following nulllable filters won't pass compilation: where Nullable<Struct>, where Nullable, where Nullable<T> All the following enum filters won't pass compilation: where System.Enum Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Busi I won't be able to use the HasValue property of a nullable type inside a gen ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Add start menu item programmatically

  We are trying to avoid building a setup program for our PDA application so that the user does not have to have the .NET framework on their desktop or laptop. We can install the application and the needed dll onto the PDA remotely but we want the program to appear on the start menu. To make it as easy as possible we want to add the shortcut programmatically. Is there a way to do this using compact framework 2.0, coding in Visual Basic If so, how If not, why not Thanks!! Because we do not want the user to do any more than he/she has to. We already automatically copy the application .exe file and .dll file to their pda which would be negated if we require the user to know how to run a cab file. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Solution Explorer - Where did New Folder go?

  This is posted here cuz, there is no C++ IDE section.  So please don't flame me if it's in the wrong area I did the best I could. It appears that in visual Studio 2005, the new folder feature found in visual studio solution explorer has been replaced with "new filter".  While I find filters fun and nice to use, I find this feature not able to do what I could with the new folder feature in 2003   We basically have a very large project and we want to create "sub-folders" off of that project as to group the different areas.  An example would be something like...  Toy Store Project       Balls   -  In this "sub folder" is all the .cpp, .h, and resx files etc ...Show All

• Community Chat Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian Not at all on my machine (middle of the road dev machine).  Dragging windows with aero glass is smoother because you don't have the delay of waiting for windows to repai ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Maximum number of output nodes

  Is there an undocumented maximum number of output nodes supported in Vista because I am having issues using more than 8 devices. I have developed an application using a tee node where I am creating a topology that contain sseveral output nodes. I have a total of 16 usb audio devices (Turtle Beach) using the standard usbaudio driver that I am testing with. Now, with up to 8 output nodes, everything works fine but as soon as I want to use a 9th device as output node, the application crashes. What is even more weird is that I can reuse the same first 8 devices as output node in other streams. But if I add a stream with a 9th device as output node and or create a new stream with the 9th device as the only output node, it crashes. ...Show All
