• Visual Studio Team System Add New Stored Procedure results in endless dialog loop ???

  I had a couple of my devs install CTP4, and now they're trying to use a Database project that's part of our solution, and make changes to it. Specifically they are trying to add some stored procedures. They right-click on the Stored Procedures node, Add -> Stored Procdure, they enter the name hit OK, and it brings up the Add New Item dialog with all the file type choices (procedure, trigger, constraint, etc) with the name they typed in still there (with a "." on the end), if they hit OK it just brings back the same Add New Item dialog over and over again. It doesn't do this on my machine which is also running CTP4, but I have 2 fresh installs on other boxes here that are both exhibiting this behaviour. What could be the pro ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005: Encrypting "data in motion" between client and server

  Right-clicking "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" under the Sql 2005 Server Configuration Manager I find the "Force Encryption" option. Right-clicking the SQL Native Client Configuration, Client Protocols, I find "Force Protocol Encryption" I believe these can be used together to force the connection between a client (running the SQLNC client) and a sql 2005 server to be encrypted. In other words, the data "in motion" can be encrypted. 1. Is my understanding correct 2. Do I need to use a certificate to make this work TIA, Barkingdog The SQL Server Data Access forum is probably your best option to answe ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with DatePicker (Kevin's Bag-O-Tricks - January 2007)

  Hi all, I'm having a problem with the DatePicker contained in Bag-O-Tricks. The situation is as follows: 1. I have a DatePicker in my XAML-file. 2. The Value of the DatePicker is bound to the StartDate (DateTime) of my class: Value="{Binding StartDate}" 3. Now, when I run my app, open the DatePicker and click on a date: nothing happens! I put an event handler on 'ValueChanged', and that event only gets called one, when the DatePicker is created and the value is set to the StartDate. It seems that the control doesn't like it when it's Value is set explicitly, because it won't budge from that value. Any ideas on how I can work around this I'm now working with the MonthCalendar, which does not have this problem, but I would like ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom EnumConverter not invoked at design-time

  I have an enumeration which uses non-standard strings for its values (the choice of strings is not mine). [TypeConverter(typeof(MyStyleConverter))] public enum Style {     ...     SansSerifItalic, // "sans-serif-italic"     SansSerifBoldItalic, // "sans-serif-bold-italic"     Monospace // "monospace" } Since the standard EnumConverter doesn't support strings like the ones I have, I had to write a custom converter. The problem is that the XAML compiler doesn't seem to be using my custom converter, but rather uses the EnumConverter. So if I put "sans-serif-italic" in my XAML I get a compile error "Cannot convert string value "sans-serif-italic" to type Style". If I put "sans ...Show All

• Smart Device Development File Version Info On Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC...

  Hello all, I am currently working on a C++ project for a PocketPC with Windows Mobile 5.0 in Visual Studio 2005. I am currently looking for a way to get file version information, i.e. file version, product version, file modified date, file creation date, etc. The only way I could find was using the functions GetFileVersionInfoSize, GetFileVersionInfo, and then VerQueryValue, but when I ran it, it gave me an error saying: "The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file." I noticed in the documentation that these functions do not work for 16-bit file images, which may be why I am getting the error. Is there another way to get this information (i.e. one that works on 16-bit file systems) If not, what infomation ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I create a nested class with CodeDom?

  I can create an assembly ok with classes in a namespace 'spaceX'; e.g. 'spaceX.classY', but I need a nested class 'spaceX.classY.classZ' I create the CodeTypeDeclaration with the name 'classZ' (I tried 'classY.classZ' and it will not compile), then set the TypeAttributes to NestedPublic. I think I need to add this to the namespace 'spaceX.classY' - but when I search in CompileUnit.Namespaces for 'spaceX.classY' it is not found If I add 'spaceX.classY' as a new namespace - there is an error on compiling 'namespace already defined'! So how do I create a nested class using CodeDom (this was so easy using Reflection!) - Tracey You need to associate your nested class with its parent class. A ty ...Show All

• .NET Development Interop Thread Leak?

  Hi, I'm hoping for a few pointers for tracking down a resource leak. I developed a VB 2.0 indexing application which is using FileNet's Capture COM objects and we're occasionally seeing a fairly serious leak. It doesn't appear to happen consistently (one user has never had one and I can't seem to reproduce it in my test environment), but it does occur regularly in production. I've been using various tools to poke around in a mini-dump (w/ full memory) and I've seen a few potential problem areas, but I can't seem narrow it down any further. Using PerfMon I found that the leak appears to be in private unmanaged memory. When I open the dump in WinDbg, I get this message: This dump file has an exception of interest stored in it ...Show All

• Windows Forms ComboBox databinding & custom objects

  I've spent several hours looking for an answer to my problem before posting yet another thread on databinding / combo boxes (sorry!). I have a simple form with a text box and a combo box. The text box holds the name of a template and the combo box holds a related piece of data. I started out by trying the databinding using datatables and it works fine: templateBindingSource.DataSource = sessionTemplateDT; uiTemplateName.DataBindings.Add( "Text" , templateBindingSource, "name" ); uiTheatreSuiteCombo.DataSource = theatreSuitesDT; uiTheatreSuiteCombo.DisplayMember = "name" ; uiTheatreSuiteCombo.ValueMember = "location_group_id" ; uiTheatreSuiteCombo.DataBindings.Add( "SelectedValue" , templateBindingSource, "location_group_id" ); ...Show All
