• Visual Studio Team System VS crashes when <Location not stored in Pdb> is produced

  I added the fxcop command on the post-build event of my VS project but whenever FxCop can't resolve the source location of a message and displays <Location not stored in Pdb>, I get the 'Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close' window. Why is this Is there someway to prevent this from happening Morning Jeffrey, If I've just read your last post correctly, then I think I've got some bad news for you.  We are using Web Application Projects and they most certainly are suffering from this problem.  That's why I posted. Are there perhaps some settings we may be missing, or something Thanks, Sara [EDIT] I'll try to get a repro together today with ...Show All

• Gadgets Getting a local file path/name

  I'm currently trying to set the URL property of Windows Media Player in a Gadget. I can set it to remote URLs such as: Player.URL = " http://www.myexample.com/my.mp3 "; however just setting it to: Player.URL = "my.mp3"; doesn't work. I assume this is because it needs to have a full path such as: Player.URL = "C:\Files\my.mp3"; However the mp3 file is located in the gadget and the gadget is of course located in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets which would require the JS to know the <username>. There must be a quick and simple way around this I'm missing, but so far I'm racking my brains and Google has returned nothing. To add insult to injury the gadget is returning ...Show All

• Visual Studio Slow loading Guidance Navigator

  Has anyone run into an issue with a project taking for ever to load when using Guidance Packages (like Web Service Factory). I have a project that sites on the Guidance Navigator for ever (30+ minutes). I recreated the project and loaded in seconds ... then i went in and enabled the Web Services Factory (ASMX) & the DATA ACCESS the Guidance Navigator opens starts loading and never comes back. This issue is a killer ... any ideas on what to look for Thank you ... That solved the problem. I agree there needs to be a way to clear all. Non of the guidance packages I used had undo code. But the project loaded in a few seconds. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista when the WSD device's Function Instance can be available

  I have a question about when the WSD device's Function Instance can be available for querying.

• Windows Forms How do I cancel a web thread?

  Hi, I have a client application that gets large chunks of data from web services, I need to provide a way for the user to cancel the download in the event it takes to long, they selected the wrong thing etc. Currently to connect to the WS I spin a thread and then make the call on that thread, when the user clicks cancel, I can abort that thread, which causes a Thread aborted exception when the WS finally responds or finishs. I can supress that exception and life goes on, but it sure feels like a hacky way to deal with this problem... anyone know a good pattern for this I would use begin and end invoke instead of calling the webservice on a thread.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading the buttons of Joystick Saitek x52

  Hi all, Did anybody come across a C# sample that relates to Saitek X52 I have found some generic Joystick samples which help me read the buttons EXCEPT the Mode button. The GetButtons() function returns the codes of the pressed buttons, but I cannot get the status of the Mode button out. I just spoke to Saitek support - No .NET samples whatsoever. Any tips will be appreciated. Best Moni. It is supposed to give different meaning to the same button. This way Saitek tripples the number of buttons. This means that the modes should always show in the byte array returned by GetButtons(). 23 = Mode 1 24 = Mode 2 25 = Mode 3 Other buttons only show if they are pressed. Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can't Remove VSTO project reference in VBA

  Hi, I have created a an Excel 2003 VSTO action pane project. The actionpane works internally and accesses webservices within the domain. The user can use the task pane to access secure data and manage non-excel calculations utilizing the networks resources.. Here is the problem. This works great internally, but if a user wants to email this spreadsheet to a client/customer that does not have VSTO installed VBA code does not work correctly. The intent will be to use VSTO to "prepare" the spreadsheet, then send the spreadsheet to the cutomer. VSTO itself will not work when the Excel document is received by the customer...which is fine, however the non-VSTO vba code will not work because of the missing VSTO reference. The use ...Show All

• Windows Forms Print coordinates origin

  Hi, I am developing an application that requires very accurate printing. I have two questions: 1) Is the print coordinates origin (i.e. the top left corner of the graphics object) located at the top left of the printer's printable area (as opposed to the top left of the page) Do HardMarginX and HardMarginY represent the top left of the printable area (assuming that OriginAtMargins is false) 2) If the print origin is indeed offset (which appears to be the case), can I configure the PrintPreviewDialog to use the same offset My problem is that if I offset my print coordinates to take into account that the origin is not at the top left of the paper then the print preview is off. It appears that the graphics object in the PrintPreviewD ...Show All
