• Visual Studio Team System CTP5 - Can't connect to a database

  I recently installed CTP5 and created a SQL Server 2005 project, but it does not prompt for a database to connect to (like it did in CTP4). When i select Tools\Connect to Database from the menu. I get a message pop-up stating "Package load failure - Package 'Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package' has failed to load properly". I get the same message when I try to open a new query connection. Any help is appreciated. Ed As far as I know I only removed the prior version of VSTE DB and then installed CTP5. How can I tell if the performance update is installed - it doesn't show up in the Control Panel to remove. Thanks, Ed ...Show All

• Windows Forms Display text in an ownerdrawn listview - again.

  Hello, The concept goes like this: The user selct n number of rows in a listview, and then right-click the mouse, and select an item from the popup menu. How many items - and which one - the user selected, and the text to display in the columns 1, 2 and 3, is determined in the sub shown below. So far, so good.The problem is that I can't see a way to get the text into the listview, and I don't know what triggers the DrawItem event in this case - control is Ownerdrawn.

• Visual Basic how to set DropDownList first record is blank?

  How to set DropDownList first record is blank I know one solution is add one blank record in database, but cannot use this method, anymore solution thanks!! The datsource for the dropdown is a dataset. After you have done populated the dataset, probably using a tableadapter you have a dataset. This dataset comprises of datatables which comprise of datarows. You can simply add a row to the datatable. Ds.tables(0).rows.add(<Values>) Where ds is the dataset, which contains only 1 table. This will add a row to the datatable - which is being used for the binding. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Writing into EventLog using a Windows service

  Hi all. I am developing an VB.Net application (Ver 1.1 in VS.Net 2003). The Objective is to Log the current System status( CPU usage) to the Event log.

• SQL Server Retrieve the version of SQL Server from within a user defined function

  EXEC master . dbo . xp_msver ProductVersion can be used to return the server version in a resultset.  I need this to do some conditional coding between varchar and varchar(max) in a UDF, so size of the text I return must be different between the SQL2000 and SQL2005. I cant call an xp_ that returns a resultset within a UDF can I, so how can I get the SQL version You can use @@Version within a user defined function. I tested the following code in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Hope this helps. Alter Function dbo .

• Visual Studio Execute target when (core)compile will execute

  Hello, there must be a simple solution for this silly question, yet I cannot find it. I want to execute a target before compilation only when compilation will occur, i e when corecompile has been determined to execute (ie dependencies have been updated) then I want my target to execute before compilation. If corecompile does not run, I do not want my target to run either. So, is there a hook before corecompile is run after it has been determined that it will run Or is there a simple property that expresses the inputs / outputs used so that I can use the same dependencies /mawi I'd just like to throw my support behind this idea. I too would like to see a generic mechanism for this. I'm running code gener ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Why it takes lot of time to move from one page to another page?

  Can any one tell why both CF1.0 and CF2.0 takes lot of time to move from one form to another form (to load a form) in emulators. Is there any idea to speed up this. I am already thinking reducing forms and keeping all in single form and to use visible true or false according to the selected option. But can one tell me any other way to speed up my application. I will be really happy If you can make suggestion to make speed up with the same number forms. Thanks in Advance, without knowing how your application is built, it's very hard to help you here. are you doing a lot of data loading on form show are you rebuilding the form every time you show it have you set performance timers in order ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to fix Incremental Link Error?

  Hi all, I implemented a basic client application. It communicates with server and works properly. Building processes succeed just by giving the following warning: LINK : D:\DOC\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Client01\Debug/Client01.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link This warning occurs when building/rebuilding the project after cleaning the intermediate and output files.

• Visual C++ Class View is not updated automatically

  I've created a plain C++ win32 project with Visual Studio 2005. And as I add new functions or variables, the class view doesn't get updated automatically. Only way to get class view populated with newly added functions or variables is to restart VS. But every thing works fine with C# projects. ONLY with C++ projects. I've tried to reproduce this on other machines at my work and on my laptop, but I have failed to reproduce the same problems. I am seeing this problem only on my pc at home. I've also tried re-installing XP SP2 and VS2005 with nothing else installed to see if some other program is causing this to happen. But still same problems with the class view. Also, I am seeing the same problem on Windows Vista RC2. Could ...Show All
