But you can try calling the other form with "ShowDialog" method and leavi ...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 random TypeLoadException

  I am having real issues with a TypeLoadException that occurs generally randomly. I've been working on a .NETCF 2.0 app all day, debugging and generally being productive. All of a sudden, with no changes to the assemblies, I get a TypeLoadException on one of the types in one of my referenced assemblies. It's one of my own assemblies, and I checked the manifest and didn't notice anything untoward. // Metadata version: v2.0.50727 .assembly extern mscorlib { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) // ....=3". .ver 2:0:0:0 } .assembly extern retargetable System.Data { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) // ....=3". .ver 2:0:0:0 } .assembly extern retargetable System.Xml { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Users / Logins (CTP7)

  I'm experiencing some issues regarding users and logins in the CTP7 version. The story: At first, there's no database or login available in the SQL2005 instance When I create a user named testuser in the Schema View , it is nicely added to the users folder as testuser.user.sql . Since it is created without login , I change the piece of the script to for login [testuser] In the Pre-Deployment folder I change the Logins.sql script to create a login if it does not already exist. Why is the testuser sometimes included correctly sometimes included with without login (although the script says for login [testuser] ) sometimes excluded when building the database project Also, I'm not able to just create a login with password=N'wachtwoord' ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem adding Web references to a VS2005 solution

  I have tired adding MS Live Search web reference to a vs2005 project. Once I enter the url and, after services discovery, i click add web reference... The web reference is added but I also get the error: Error 1 Custom tool error: Unable to import WebService/Schema. Value does not fall within the expected range.

I just can't seem to get the IDE to use it. I can call this webservice from a browser or ...Show All

• Visual C++ Measuring Internet Explorer page load time and amount of data

  Hi, Can anyone give any ideas on how to measure the time it takes to load a page and the amount of data transferred Any kind of ideas are welcome. What I want to do is: 1. Clear IE cache (i already know how to do this.) 2. Request IE to open a page 3. Get indication when the operation is complete (all available files downloaded). 4. Get to know the amount of data transferred ( and maybe number of files, etc..) I am planning to develop using visual C++.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Exe

  Is it possible to create a stand alone exe for a windows application using Visual basic 2005 Express Edition. If so how can this be accomplished. Yes, you can use another language which doesn't rely on the .NET framework. Even so, all modern languages require a runtime in one form or another (it's just that the runtimes are already installed with the OS). However, C++ is probably your best bet (VB6 has runtimes, but are relatively small but is not recommended for new applications). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. equivalent to the MDX function Matrix.Transformation

  Hi, What is the XNA equivalent to the MDX function Matrix.Transformation Thanks in advance! It doesn't currently exist in XNA. You will have to compose your own transformation by combining the Matrix.CreateScaling, Matrix.CreateTranslation and Matrix.CreateRotation methods. Maybe they will re-add that method since it's more efficient than creating all the transforms separately and then combining. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to call a memory release ?

  Hi, I am currently building a VB.Net Application that uses Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The problem is that the amount of memory used while the process is running always keeps growing. And I am sure that Acrobat is responsible for that. So I would like to know how to call a memory release in VB.Net. thanks for helping. Alex I tested the command : System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject And it finally works, Acrobat keeps taking a lot of memory space, sometimes more than 200megs for a 4meg document but when I close the document and release the COM object it gets a little smaller. Lets just say that to run my application, users will need at least 1024 meg RAM for optimal performance :-) Thanks again f ...Show All

• Visual Basic Deployment on Terminal Server

  What user rights must be set on the TS to allow users to run a application (VB2005). I have published the application the the TS, but only the administrator can run it. I made sure that CRWXI-2 is installed on the TS and all the other bells and wistles are present. When the user tries to run the application, it will go throught the phase to check for an update, but then nothing happens. It's just not running..... What I'm I doing wrong or of more value, what should I do to publish to a terminal server and what must the Administrator do to get the users to run the apllication. Actually, so damm easy....
