• Visual Studio Team System Can't build on build box- reference not found

  hello- I have a web app that includes a couple cs projects- myself and other team members have no trouble building on our machines but I can't execute the build successfully on the build machine. The .csproj files use the notation below to refer to the libraries that we are using. <Reference Include="AM.SNR.Common.BusinessBase, Version=1.0.0.17994, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL" /> My build log says ...warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "AM.SNR.Common.BusinessBase, Version=1.0.0.26246, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilatio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Closing a socket

  Hi, I've been playing with tcpClients today, and I must admit I was surprised how easy they are to get to grips with, I still dont like the idea of having to poll the connection to see if theres any data but I dont suppose I can have my cake and eat it. Okay, the problem I have is this, how do I close a tcpClient connection and still be able to access it, I should be able to close the connection and then connect again after the connection has been closed. The tcpclient has a close method, so does the tcpclient.client, but both those methods destroy the socket completely. I just want it to disconnect so I can use it again. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong I will appologise now if this question has been posted elsewhere. Thanks a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is a CAL needed for the machine that runs TFSBuild.exe?

  If machine A has a scheduled task that runs TFSBuild.exe to start a build type on machine B that has Team Foundation Build installed does machine A needs to have a CAL for Team Foundation Server I assume that we do because it will connect to the Team Foundation Server. If so, isn't it a little awkward that we need a CAL just to start builds How do you guys schedule builds Do you schedule these on the Application Tier of TFS If you do we would still need a CAL, don't we  Or do you schedule these on the build machines If so, this would mean that if you have several build machines that the tasks are spread over these machines. What is the recommended practice I would say on the Application Tier of TFS so we have a ce ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Activity Scope Example

  Has anyone built a custom activity scope (like the transaction or synchronization scopes that come with WF) If so, would you care to create a sample in the custom activities gallery on www.windowsworkflow.net I am having trouble figuring out how to get started in creating such an animal. Thanks, - Erik You actually can't create your own TransactionScope (or similar ones). You'll notice that these activities actually reside in System.Workflow.ComponentModel and not in System.Workflow.Activities. They have internal dependencies on our runtime. Transactions and synchronization require deep integration with the runtime to provide their functionality. Thanks! Angel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Infopath Automation

  Hello, Please accept my apologies if this post is in the wrong forum. I checked around and believe this is the correct place to post. If not please advise and i will promptly move. I am currently using an infopath solution for data collection. The forums contain a number of dropdown lists that need to be populated at run time. Unfortunately, a requirement exists that specifies that the infopath forms must function in a disconnected manner (not my idea!!). So that pretty much excludes all the sharepoint lists / webservice / dataset examples i have seen. I would like to know if it is possible to populate the infopath form controls using automation. IE: //Create an infopath application object //Open an infopath form / template //Obtain ...Show All

• .NET Development VS2005 - Passing Collection/Array as a Parameter to a Web Service

  I have a web service that I'm trying to call using VS2005. I'm not understanding how to pass a collection as a parameter into my web service. (This does work in VS2003 by modifying the Reference.vb file, which does not exist in VS2005.)

• Commerce Server Search Wildcard Characters

  It seems that quite a few characters are interpreted as an OR unless enclosed in quotes. Specifically the - (dash) character. Is there a way (and where) this can be customized. All of my clients parts numbers have a dash in them so the Search is somewhat confusing for the end-user. I looked through the documentation but could not seem to find it. Please Advise. This is the standard behavior of the Sql fulltext search wordbreaker. It is splitting the RG5-1392 into two search words RG5 and 1392. ...Show All

• SQL Server XP Home -LAN Remote Access - Unable to connect from one single computer.

  Hi, I have Windows XP Home Workgroup LAN. I am treating one of the XP Home system as 'Server' and installed SQL Express 2005 SP1. Enabled remote connections access. I have total 4 XP Home systems, out of which one i am treating as Server, from the rest 3 computers, 2 are successfully connected to the Server and able to access SQL Express without any problems. But the 3rd system is unable to communicate with the Server. I disabled all firewalls in this 3rd system but still unable to connect to the server. I am able to ping the server, browse for shared folders on the server. Except SQL Express remote connection, everything else in the network is accessible from this 3rd computer.

  Hi, I was just reading the following blog. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=309166&SiteID=1 I was just trying to send username and password and get it validated but obvisously, you have to either create certificate or send it over https. I do not have much knowledge on https nor SSL.

• Windows Forms [c#]memory usage at start

  Hi all :) Im sure that i wrong everything designing and running my first program :( I've done a simple program, with one form, and several control like combobox, textbox, toolstripmenuitem, some .png managed by a resource file, and a datagridview. Now, at first run, the program use 15/16mb of memory (is this an accettable value ) During execution, for example when the "insert into database" button is pressed, memory comes up to 23/24mb, and then, when my datagridview show the records of database, memory comes up to 30/31mb. After this value, while program running, memory never comes down :( Please, any hints or suggest to how manage my "very disaster designing" (I was able with a single form to take this memory.... so ...Show All

• Visual C# C# - How powerful?

  I know C# is sort of like C++, but is it as powerful as C++ depends what you want to do. C# is pretty powerful I believe but to do low level stuff, C++ would be what you really need. C# is really a - hard to describe - more of a "high" level language. Perhaps not the best words to use. Pretty much anything could be done in C# - again depends what you want to do. you can create mobile applications, web services, interact with SQL, create ASP.NET websites, P/Invoke into WIN32 API, create desktop applications also, do remoting, use other SDK's/libraries, interact with Office.... ...Show All

• SQL Server Validation Warnigns Occurred - where are they?

  On of my Control Flow Items (which is a data flow task) has a little yellow warning icon on it, when I hover over it I get a 'Validation warnings occurred' pop-up. However in the Errors List for the Control Flow or Data Flow there are no errors \ warnings (). How do I find the valiation error - or force the package to re-validate Well that worked, but in my case the cause of the validation error was that the source view was not available. After creating the view in the source OLE DB connection, the red X went away from the Data Flow task, but the yellow ! stayed in the Control Flow pane. Isn't there a way to refresh this task or the underlying connection without restarting Visual Studio ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making a process modal

  Hi, hopefully a rather straight forward case: I have two programs that I wish to integrate such that the first one opens the second modally. How would I go about this I'm thinking there must be something you can do with handles, but I have no idea how to go about it and haven't been able to find any information to aid me. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Hoopla You can only make windows modal compared to other windows. If I remember correctly you cannot do this over process boundaries. Can you make you second form member of a class library, so that you can create an instance of that form in the same process -- SvenC ...Show All
