• Visual Studio Debugger doesn't start

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. And now, i encounter problems debugging VC++ concole project. The debugger simply doesn't start. When pressing "start"-icon, there are no messages, the IDE looks like preparing for the debugging session, but the executable doesn't show up. This is a rather new effect, because after installation of Visual Studio debugging made no problems at all. But suddenly, a few days ago, the debugger refused to start. Does anybody has any idea, what has happened Where i could take a look in my system (logfiles ...) Or what to do to make the debugger start again Thanks This question really belongs in the Visual Studio Debugger forum, but since Alerts are broken, ...Show All

• Visual C# Application settings

  Hi, I've got a three tier program. In the data Access layer(DAL) I connect to the database. I use the tabpage settings in the property screen of the DAL. If you do this on the presentation layer(/windows project) then you get an MyAssembly.dll.config in the bin file. But if you do this in the DAL it doesn't create a config file, so yo can't edit it manualy. Can anybody give me a solution Grtz Annihil8 I've placed the settings from dal to preslayer. When I call the setting in the dal I get 'DAL.Properties.Settings' does not contain a definition for 'ConString' D:\Projects\MyProject\DAL\DAO\SQL\SQLWrapper.cs 22 70 DAL It seems he is still looking at the dal instead of the presentation. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Hide/Show form causes form to reload

  Using VS 2005. Creating windows forms application. I have a search form that the user can enter their search criteria and then find records. The records found populate a grid. The user selects a record in the grid and then clicks open record button. The click event of the open record button does the following: Dim frm As New frmRS_ModMenu frm.Show() Me .Hide() 'This is frmSearchForm This works great. The user can enter data for the selected record and then close the form. When the data entry form is closed I do the following: frmSearchForm.Show() Me .Close() However, when I close the data entry form and call show on the search form the form load event fires only on the initial hide/show. This causes the sea ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.Net 2005 - where are my base class events?

  I converted a VB.Net 2002 project to VB.Net 2005 and things are not good. Events seem to be firing differently.   Code that works fine in 2002 does not work in 2005. Where is my form close event In the IDE in 2002 you simply click on Base Class Events and there they all are - but in 2005 you do not have Base Class Events - you only have frmName Events and the close event is not there. What is going on   It appears that the form close event is not even firing in 2005.   edit: Ok the close event is still firing, but how do I get to see these events in the IDE Also on a side note:  When I walk through the code with the debugger I take a NullReferenceError on and event that should not even be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why Is It So Difficult To Save and Load Form Text Boxes?

  I would appreciate any help someone could give me. I have searched this forum endlessly trying to find a way to save 60 or so text boxes on form1 to a file and then later read the information back into the same text boxes. It seems like I have tried every bit of sample code that I can find and nothing works. I have 5 books on VBE and VB5. I am a complete novice at this so please be gentle. Thanks in advance for any ideas/help. Glenn Well... I'll step out. You see, I think your intital approach is not that great and it's going to cause you problems and you will end up building a bi-plane. Why not take it a step at time. Break your problem up into small discrete steps. The first th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT files(xgs,xsb,xwb) don't deploy during Publish; getting FileNotFound

  My problem: My game project in XNA uses 2 sounds. I went thru the XACT tutorial(for my uses I found it quite easy to add my .wav files used via XACT), and I now have all code in place, and functioning. When I Start Debugging in XNA, my game runs correctly, and I get the correct audio plays when the proper events cue them up. HOWEVER, once I publish the same project, and install it from the Setup.exe, the installed game crashes. I get the error: system.io.filenotfoundexception. What I have checked already: 1.All 3 XACT files are in my main game directory. 2. All 3 are set to 'always copy' to output directory. 3. All references in the Sound.cs class I created point to the correct XACT files(the build would not run if it did ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Collection with custom properties

  Hi, I've been experimenting with deriving a custom, strong-typed, collection and add a custom property to it. The problem I'm having is that on the clientside, the custom property is always omitted in the generated collection stub. I've tried to derive my class from both CollectionBase and List(Of T) ' SERVER <CollectionDataContract()> _ Public Class MyCollection Inherits List(Of String) Protected mComment As String = String.Empty <DataMember()> _ Public Property Comment() As String Get Return Me.mComment End Get Set(ByVal value As String) Me.mComment = value End Set End Property End Class ' CLIENT Public Class MyCollection Inherits System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String) End Class ' SERVER DER ...Show All

• Visual C++ 'invisible' properties in dao namespace

  I am converting a project from VB.NET to C++/CLI. I have established a reference to the DAO 3.6 object library and am using the dao namespace. Everything appears to work fine except that the 'Parameters' property of the QueryDef class and the 'Fields' property of the TableDef class are not recognized. Attempting to use either result in a C2039 error. There is no problem accessing these properties in either VB or C#. Investigation reveals that the 'Parameters' and 'Fields' properties are the default properties of their respective classes. This problem has stopped the conversion project dead, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Can you give a code snipplet that gives the C2039 error (For those who don't know co ...Show All

• SQL Server UK date format being switched to US format

  Hi all, I am updating some reports in SSRS 2000 and need to pass a couple of date parameters to the reports. I pass the dates like so: ... params( 1 ) = New ParameterValue params( 1 ).Name = "DateFrom" params( 1 ).Value = dateFrom.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd" ) params( 2 ) = New ParameterValue params( 2 ).Name = "DateTo" params( 2 ).Value = dateTo.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd" ) ... I am using the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' to try to avoid any regional format problems, but when the dates are used and displayed in the report, they have magically switched to US format!

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom DependencyProperty not receiving change notifications

  I am making a custom control that has a DependencyProperty of type IEnumerable. Everything seems to work fine except for change notifications. I'm testing using an ObservableCollection bound to my property. If I add or remove items from the ObservableCollection, my DependencyProperty's change callback is never called. For testing I bound my collection to a generic ListBox as well and that handled the collection changes as expected. How can I make my property respond to change notifications from the bound collection Here is the relevant code... public static readonly DependencyProperty MyDPProperty = DependencyProperty .Register( "MyDP" , typeof ( IEnumerable ), typeof ( MyControl ), ...Show All
