• Visual Basic Debugger problem "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  There was a similar question posed on the C++ forum back in February to which I responded yesterday, but unfortunately, did not get a response. I am therefore putting this question in the VB forum. I have a VB 2005 project which is actually an add-in to Outlook 2003, which was I was able to debug fine until earlier this week. Now I cannot debug it at all - the message in the subject is displayed when I hover the mouse over the breakpoint which shows a yellow icon in place. Can anyone here tell me what I should do to correct this There are a couple of reasons why you could be getting the yellow icon: PDB not present or doesn't match the executable PDB doesn't match the source DLL hasn't b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is WPF right for my app?

  I am in the process of determining if WPF is right for my app. M y app requires that my main entry form look like a paper form for example a IRS 1040a. I can draw this form very easily on a Canvas, but because the canvas is position based, it doesn't resize with the screen, however I need to be able to resize the whole canvas based on screen size. I have tried the grid and stack panel but the wrapping and resizing doesn't work for what I want. I have to maintain the look of the form and maintain the aspect ratio as well. Any suggestions or where to look for examples would be greatly appreciated. rockowpb A few things to try Yes, experiment with Viewbox. Also, take a look at LayoutTransform - a ...Show All

• SQL Server Package ID "not available" in Management Studio

  Do you need certain file system permissions for the SSIS service account to view the Package ID (a guid) in management studio When viewing Stored SSIS Packages in Management Studio's Object Explorer, the Package ID for a given package is always listed as "Not available". This applies to .dtsx files stored on the file system (SSIS Package store). Conversely, for packages stored in MSDB (Sql Server), the Package ID is listed. P.S. The version major, version minor, and version build number are also always "0" for packages stored in the Package Store when viewed through management studio, even though they are clearly not zero when loaded in BIDS. windows xp sp2 SSIS version 2153. j ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions silly question about converting a vector<char> to char []

  I have a vector of vector char's that I need to display to the screen. I don't want to display char by char but would like to store them in char[] or strings. I hope this is easy and possible but I just can't figure it out at the moment. Any help or push in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks, Matt I should have been more specific.  I am working with com objects and BSTR's so I built the following parsing function which returns the end result as a vector of a vector of chars.  I would like to return it as a string or as a char array.  Here is my function.  I just need to know how I could do the same thing either more effeciantly or using strings. vector<vector< ...Show All

• .NET Development Code security exception while using fully trusted assembly to implement config section for the application started form network

  I’m using Microsoft enterprise libraries for my winforms application. One of the requirements from the customer is that it should run from network share in intranet zone. I strongly named all assemblies in the enterprise library as well as my custom application. I created security policy allowing them to run in the intranet zone. The tests with “caspol.exe” against every single assembly in my package from the network share confirmed that every one of them has “Unrestricted” permissions.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX8 and Vista Compatibility

  (split from http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1221168  to make a new question) It is interesting that you say that because I am testing a VB6 app that was working fine on XP and below but now fails on Vista when it tries to create a DirectX8 object, specifically Set oDX = new DirectX8 throws Error 429, ActiveX failed to create component. Running in XP SP2 compatibility mode does not work either. I would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this.  I also tried running the latest DX9 redistributable because I heard that was providing backward compatibility, but to no avail. Thanks. I am awaiting a reply from the DirectX team - their response time ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to slow down data transfered through serial port?

  Hi, I have this program up and running but I have a bit a problem with it. Here is the breakdown of how I got the program to work in visual basic express 2005: A motion sensor connects to the serial port of my computer. It constanstly sends in a "0" or a "1" through the serial port. If a "0" is sent through the serial port, the program does nothing. If a "1" is sent through, a text message is sent to my cellphone. The problem: The sensor sends in too many "1" too fast so what happens is that once motion is detected, my cellphone recieves about 7 text messages but I only want 1 text message. If motion is detected again then I will recieve about 7 more text messages. Here is what ...Show All
