• Visual Studio CodeDom -Error when Run Recipe

  I am playing around with the SmartClient-Factory June Drop. I was finally able to build and install everything and now I created a SmartClient - Solution with the Lightweight SmartClient Project-template. Now when I use the Guidance Navigator to add a new View (Run recipe) I get a Recipe Framework Error saying that the namespace CodeDom does not exist in the namespace System. This Error comes on running any of the recipes in the Available Guidance-List. I wanted to dig down into the Recipe-Framework, but It seems that I do not have the sourcecode for GAT/GAX and the error seems to be in there. Could smoebody give me a hint (Error-Message is below) Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exceptio ...Show All

• Visual Basic Illeagal Characters In Path Error.

  Hi, I have this error, Illeagal characters In path. I figured out it happend when the FILE NAME had spaces in it, so It took me one week to make it change the spaces to "_". In the debug I didn't have the problem any more. Now I installed the program, and it happend. I don't know the exact line, but if it's because of space it's in the Folder's name. SPACE ISN'T AN ILLEAGAL CHARACTER! Why does it happen Is it a bug in VS How can I fix it Thanks.

• Visual Studio Team System Using variables in scripts

  Hello, I've been reading Gert's post about using variables in scripts ( http://blogs.msdn.com/gertd/archive/2007/01/08/variables-to-the-rescue.aspx ) and have been trying it out. I don't think it works. Here's the steps I followed: Created a new project Imported a schema Built the project [it was successful] Added a new blank script to the Post-Deployment folder Edited Script.PostDeployment to include my new (still blank) script Built the project again (still successful) Added the following line to my new script: :setvar drive "C:" Built the project again This time the build failed with the error: Error TSD164: Syntax checking failed : Incorrect syntax near :.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 SP_ADDLOGIN

  Hello Everyone, We have a mixed environment consisting of some SS2005 with most servers still running on SS2000. Several operating systems are in use. We use mixed mode authentication. To date, all of our SS2005 servers have been installed on Windows Server 2003. In each of these environments we have the password policies disabled on the operating system side (Administration Tools | Local Security Policy). On these servers we have been able to successfully use SP_ADDLOGIN to add logins for SQL Server authentication. Recently I installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2000 SP4 (old I know) as a test environment. Like the 2003 servers, password policies and complexity are shutoff. When I attempt to use SP_ADDLOGIN, however, here I receive: Ser ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Difference using WorkflowQueuingService and ExternalDataExchangeService

  Hi Im playing with WWF and wondering what the difference is between using WorkflowQueuingService and using ExternalDataExchangeService I have read alot about why we need all these layers when dealing with workflow data exchange (support for pasivation eg). Ok. i thought that ExternalDataExchangeService solved that problem. No I just downloaded chapter 3 of Dharmas book (Essential Worfklow) wich states: " Although various communication technologies (such as WCF or ASMX) can be layered upon WF, they all must use the WorkflowQueuingService to robustly deliver data to passivated WF program instances " Where does that leave ExternalDataExchangeService regarding pasivation And what is the techinal/implemention wise diffrenc ...Show All

• .NET Development Bug, (I think, quite nasty), relating to GAC, sgen: also, where does one report bugs? Forgot...

  Im really apologetic in that I seem to remember that one is not to post bug reports here...there is a proper place for that, but I don't recall...can someone refresh me on that but anyway, this is a wierd bug: (at least based on what my research turned up)... Im trying to recompile a largish project that has about 2 dozen references to assemblies (i.e., my little classes), in my effort to target an AMD 64 bit processor...One of the references is to a quite complex user control, which in turn refers to many other custom assemblies... Anyway, I've actually been making pretty good progress, (because of the complexity of the project, it is easier to compile the assemblies seperately, one solution at a time), but when I get to this co ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Loading Select data through the linked tables

  I have an access front end whose tables are linked to an sql server data base. when the database loads is there a way to select certain data to load through the linked tables. For instance Say I wanted the liked tables to load only the data for the customers in the state of Connecticut. I know I can do this with queries but I want to know is it possible to do with linked tables directly. In access you only have the capability to link to the entire table...however as you suggest you can create a view that will only show you the criteria that you set for the query ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamice ActiveX

  Hi there, I'm doing this in c# but will gladly accept any .net language if anyone knows how to do this. Basically I want to Load an ActiveX control (e.g. Windows Froms 2.0 TextBox etc etc) I can already load the control by using the System.Windows.Froms.AxHost class. I can get the underlying ocx object. But as I have no RCW runtime Callable Wrapper, I would like to call the method on the fly, I'm thinking I'll have to do something like use the underlying IDispatch or something but I'm hitting brick walls trying to figure it out. Has anyone ever done this or have an idea on how to do it Take a simple senario as the Windows Forms 2.0 Textbox, 1) I load the control and display it 2) I get the ocx System.Object ob ...Show All
