• Visual C++ This just started for me...

  i was working on a project that compiled fine and ran fine... i went to clean solution then build solution... now the debug version says MSVC80d.dll is missing... it's definitely installed, not sure what the problem is. tried the above two fixes... didn't help. When it just stops working, it's almost always the infamous FAT32 work-around problem. In the manifest settings under: Project Properties - Configuration Properties - Manifest Tool - General make sure the "Use FAT32 Work-around" is set to Yes. and then do a rebuild all. ...Show All

• .NET Development https headers

  i am trying to upload a file to a secure web server https using iexplorer, which works, if i use my app to do the same thing the returned webpage is not the same. i have concluded that my headers are not the same. i have the headers from both my app and iexplorer, could someone show me how to make mine the same as iexplorer's. i am almost positive it has something to do with the headers and not the data being sent as i used a hex editor to view the data being sent and its matches minus the boundary. could the boundard be an issue am i generating it correctly this post has some history with another posting which i am adding the link to for your reference. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=600208&SiteID=1 *** ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hiding properties on a property grid

  Hello. I have a third-party component that I would like to show on a property grid. I do not have access to it's source code to put the [Browsable(false)] or the designer, and I would like to hide some of it's properties on the property grid. Can I do that Thanks in advance, Matias Hi, one way would be to create a wrapper class around the 3rd party control which you can then use the expose/hide properties, this is also a good way of abstracting your code from the 3rd party control directly incase at some point in the future you want to remove the control and use a different one. Another way you could do this is to decompile the component to MSIL, then add the BrowsableAttribute yourself in th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't Install Interactive Designer: Wrong WPF Version?

  So I've been trying to get started with WPF development, but I've had some trouble getting all the components installed and playing nicely together. In an effort to get all the right stuff installed (dotnet3, winfx, wpf, vs extensions, etc), I've downloaded at least a dozen different installers. So it's likely that I have several non-compatible versions installed right now. As far as I can tell, here's what I've got (most of this info was gathered from the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel): Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (already installed, long ago; I'd prefer not to uninstall this) Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB917283) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Microsoft Expression Graphic Designer June 2006 CTP ...Show All

• SQL Server replication hangs on one table

  publisher - sql2000 sp4 distributor - sql 2005 sp1 subscribers - mix of sql2005 sp1 and sql 2000 sp4 we have a database with around 300 tables and replicate it to around 10 different subscribers. some in the same datacenter and others in different offices. We have around 50-60 different publications for this. Some have 20 or so tables others have only one table if they are large tables. Tables range in size from a few hundred rows to over 20 million. Some tables replicate a few commands, others 100000 or more commands on a daily basis. Around 6 weeks ago we started having problems with one table. It's 1.4 million rows and replicates around a few thousand commands on a daily basis. We saw a backlog of around 150000 to 400000 commands. We ha ...Show All

• Visual C# Why doesn't this work?!

  I need to fill the lines of a multiline TextBox with the contents of a ListArray. I have a TextBox on a form, with properties set as follows: Name = txtErrors MultiLine = true AcceptsReturn = true AcceptsTab = true In my code, I do the following: private ArrayList myErrorList = new ArrayList (100); // The array is filled elsewhere with error messages txtErrors.Lines = new string [myErrorList.Count]; myErrorList.CopyTo(txtErrors.Lines); My code compiles, but the multiline text box is empty, although the myErrorList ArrayList has 3 entries in it (as seen during debugging). Why isn't this working J. well you are going through each element of the array, the ar ...Show All

• Visual C# C# - How powerful?

  I know C# is sort of like C++, but is it as powerful as C++ Yelnik wrote: Well I would really prefer to learn C++, but it seems that is the only programming language Microsoft didnt put "Absolute beginners guides" for. There may not be any plenty of resources for C++. However, I would suggest C++ is the perfect launching pad for learning an OOP language! In my experience, u will learn the conepts of OOPS in C++ and u will start feeling the same in VC++. Ofcourse, the learning edge is quite distant between MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes - can be said as the earlier version of Microsoft VC++) and the current VC++.Net, but it could be learnt on some serious good effort and a little ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is there a way to compact a database through VB Express?

  I have an application with an Access database as the source of the data for my application. I know that within Access you can compact a database. But is there a way programmatically within VB Express to compact the database If possible, I would like to avoid calling an Access command as some of my users might not have Access installed on their computers. Also, what about a routine that when a user clicks on a button it will allow the user to save a backup copy of the database Thanks, John You don't have ' Common.GetConnectionString so you can't call it. I think you need a whole connection string there. Erm the reference to "The" variables is an injoke. It's just a silly way to ...Show All
