• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The project type is not supported by this installation.

  After having installed all the RC1 parts, including "Orcas" and try to create a new project in VisualStudio 2005 (Windows Application, XAML Browser Application or Custom Control Library) I get an error message: "The project file '.....' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation." I've tried reinstalling everything but it's still giving the same error message. Could it be because I'm running a swedish version of Windows XP Although I haven't had this problem with other releases. Resolution for my case can be found here ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching Strategy For Dynamic Environment

  I am working in a very dynamic environment where several different features and bug fixes are worked on simultaneously by many different developers. The project is a large public facing website that must have bugs resolved quickly and has constantly revolving promotions. We are having a problem deploying changes quickly when some technical features may take weeks to develop while other minor ad campaigns may take only days to develop. So I was thinking that an environment like this would benefit from each developer having a private branch. and then merging in chages to the main branch when a feature was complete. I set up a prototype of this environment and private branches seem very clunky in Team Foundation Server. I have seen many peopl ...Show All

• Visual Basic Root from a URL

  I feel this question is a little silly.. I can't seem to find a method to get the root site such as this: http://www.microsoft.com/ from something like this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx displaylang=en&productID=BEAE32B8-4A67-4F78-BF4E-C114F922F1EA So far, I've tried things like this: ToString.IndexOfAny( "/" ) without much luck.. please enlighten me :) Besides Regex you can play with the Uri class as well: Dim webAddy As New Uri(" http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx displaylang=en&productID=BEAE32B8-4A67-4F78-BF4E-C114F922F1EA ") MessageBox.Show(webAddy.GetComponents(UriComponents.SchemeAndServer, UriFormat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help! Can't open projects or start new ones.

  I'm trying to set up VC++ Express 2005 on my laptop. The first time I installed it, everything worked fine. I could load the project I was working on and run it in debug mode. However, then I made the "mistake" of trying to open the project from another user account (both are at administrator level) on the same laptop. VC++ immediately crashed on me. Going back to the user account that I installed VC++ with made no difference. Now I can't: 1. Open an existing project. (It will crash VC++.) 2. Start a new project. (It will say "project creation failed.") I had the following installed, in this order: 1. Visual C++ Express 2005 2. Windows Platform SDK 3.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE - Create Spreadsheet on Server Without Excel

  I understand that with VSTO SE and VS 2005 you can create and manipulate spreadsheets on computers/servers that do not have Excel installed. I have done a lot of programming Excel with COM but am new to VSTO. I have searched various examples online but have not found just one simple example of creating a spreadsheet pro grammatically on a server that does not have Excel. The resultant application would be a console app that would run without a GUI to process and create/update spreadsheets. Could someone please list as briefly as possible (VB preferred, C# okay) how to create a new spreadsheet, update a couple cells, and then close the spreadsheet from the command line with no GUI. Thanks. Did you try us ...Show All

• SQL Server about emailchannel?

  I use email to notify my subscribers,but how to define my email format any idea thanks in advance I'm not sure what exactly you mean by mail format... If you are talking about "building" a custom email message with all data from your notification class, you need to create your custom content formatter. If you have a Shyam Pather's book (2000 or 2005), which is a must-have for everyone working with SQL-NS, building your own custom content formatter is VERY easy if you just modify the sample from the book. Also, you can use the built-in XSLT content formatter, but I personally found it much easier to build my own one, using C#. Just for your reference, creating a custom content for ...Show All

What modification i have to do to run this application on PDA devices in my code or in my settings... Thanks in adavance... Vinay Instead of a windows application, you'll need to create a Smart Device application and choose which OS you are targetting at - Pocket PC 2003, Win CE 5.0, etc. Then basically you need to copy your code over to the new application and test. Compact Framework has limited functionalities comparing with the fullscale .Net framework, so some controls / components you use may not be available. VS ...Show All

• Windows Forms masked text boxes vs text boxes - numeric data

  Hello Everyone: I'm wondering what's the best way to allow user input for a numeric field where the data needs to be formatted as currency. Example:  1,423.33 I've tried the masked text box but the numeric formating leaves a bit to be desired (if I'm doing it right). Any suggestions Thank you, Dave Hi, Thank you both for your advise. I'm going to try this. I notice that this code is for c#; would you know if there is any sample code for VB Thank you ...Show All
