• Visual C++ VS2005 runs vsvars32.bat automatically?

  To use some VS2005 tools, you have to set paths, which can be done with vsvars32.bat. How can you set up VS2005 to run this batch file automatically every time VS2005 is started It is inconvenient to have to remember to go to a command prompt and run vsvars32.

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Adapter threw exception:System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The entry 'XXX' has already been added

  Please can some explain what this error message means Unit Test Adapter threw exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The entry 'IMSWhiteLabel_Providers' has already been added. In my App.Config file, I have an entry for IMSWhiteLabel_Providers'. I initially thought that it is complaining because it has a duplicate of this entry, but this is not the case. Regards, Hiten Thanks for your response. The problem has resolved itself when I copied the orginal config file back. On comparison, I noticed that there was a WCF entry <system.serviceModel> twice.

• Visual C++ Abstract class object

  i hav read in all books dat we cant create object of abstract classes.. . and reasons like they are too abstract to create an object.. .. i want to know more of these reasons why we cant create objects...... . . . . manish Hi An abstract class is one that has atleast one pure virtual methods. Normally when an object of a class is created, the vtable is filled in with the address of the virtual methods, which is one of the reasons why an object for an abstract class cannot be created. Assuming that the related vtable entry is filled with null, this would cause a exception thrown at run-time, and that is not desirable. This is something related to the implementation. Theoritically, an abstrac ...Show All

• Visual C# Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. Basically, as far as I can tell by this entire discussion and my own experiences is that the c ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Pocket pc application using Access 2003

  Hi there, this is my first ever post on a forum so please be nice if i get stuff wrong. I am wanting to develop an application for a Windows Mobile 5.0 device using visual studio 2005 but i want to store data on the device using pocket access. Can anyone tell me if this is possible or whether i am 'forced' to use SQLserver The reason i use the word "forced" is that all our software is written in vb6 and stores data using MS Access. The application i am wanting to develop needs to ultimately merge the data with the existing ms access databases. (There are only a limited number of people access these databases so i dont feel any need to upgrade to SQL just yet - If it aint broke dont fix it!!!!) I've found thread ...Show All

• SQL Server How to backup a database over the network

  Hi, I want to take backup of my database over a network drive, the network drive is on a box which is on different domain, Primary Server: IMM01 Database: DDR Domain: PNR User: PNR\bkpuser Backup Drive: BMM02 Shared Folder: \\BMM02\BackupFolder Domain: BNR Thanks, Imran. At the basic level, a process on your database machine needs to create and write to a file on your file-server. Until you have the permissions and identities set up so that it can do so, SQL is not even in the picture. Without an identity that the file server can verify, the connection is coming in from <anonymous>. Unless you want to allow any anonymous connection to create and modify files on your ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installing Crystal Reports XI release 2 for BOTH ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 on same server

  Hi - We currently have a case where we are supporting multiple versions of our product on the same web server (a windows 2003 server). However, we have 2 versions of our application on the same server, but one is in ASP.nET 1.1 and the other is in ASP.nET 2.0. Our applications are fine and can co-exist ok on the server. They both use Crystal REports XI, Relesae 2, which supports both 1.1 and 2.0. Our developer machines run just fine wtih both products and crystal reports, but the problem we are having is deployment. When we install the runtime redistrubutale for ASP.nET 2.0 on the machine a file(CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi) then our ASP.NET 2.0 application works fine. However, when we install the crystal runtime redistributable fr ...Show All
