• Visual C# Problem in adding controls dynamically to ToolBox

  Hi Everybody, I need a little help in migrating my VS2003 ConsoleApplication to VS2005. My console application adds a few server controls (built by me) to the toolbox in runtime. However on migrating the code to VS2005 the code is not adding the controls to the new tab, though a new tab is created. The following lines of code add the controls to the tab. ToolBoxTab tab tab.Activate(); tab.ToolBoxItems.Item(1).Select(); tab.ToolBoxItems.Add( "MyControls" , System. AppDomain .CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString()+MyControls.dll , vsToolBoxItemFormat .vsToolBoxItemFormatDotNETComponent); I have placed the ServerControls dll in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Parse referenced assemblies

  Hi, I need to parse the referenced assemblies of a project (in order to find certain types that have to be written in a configuration file). I can work on the list of references, load the respective assembly and reflect over the types. However this will block the DLL files and the next build will fail. Using ITypeResolutionService didn't help either. Visual Studio loads those Assemblies as well, yet it does not lock them (probably shadow copying or some other special handling). Does anyone know how to get hold of the assembly loaded by VS Regards, Alexander Can you share more info, like the details of the exception you're getting I know for instance that Reflector (the .Net decompiler) uses ReflectionOnly APIs in order to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System At beginning all my scenarios are too long (ROM =3)

  Hi I'm writing the first scenarios of my system but I have the the following problem, all my scnerios has a ROM >= 3. Like a scenario shows the ways that the persona would use the system I undestand that the kernel of the system has to be developed too and then the scneario is too big. For example: My system has to show a calculated information to user Jhon, the scenario could be: "Jhon starts the application click the button 'Show' and the last calculated info is presented to him." And to this work would be possible the kernel of the system (presentation, bussiness and data layer) would be build first. Then if I estimated it the ROM is >= 3 because I have to add kernel +funcionality. How can I solve th ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Manager?

  I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Manager and connect to SQL 2000 normally but when I connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP, I failed! when I open SQL Configuration Manager, I find the SQL Server had been running, after I opened "Attribute" window, I find "This account" box had been checked, and "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" was displayed in Account Name edit box, "**********" was displayed in "Password" edit box. I think that the reason I can't connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP is that I can't know the name of  SQL Server 200, account, password. right In Microsoft SQL Server 2000 I can find the name of server from "Service Manager" and default accunt is "SA", the default password is blank. but I can't find it ...Show All

• .NET Development cannot use xmlSerializer with FileSystemInfo

  I am having difficulty getting FileSystemInfo to work with the xmlSerializer. The snippet is pasted below. At runtime an error occurs stating 'System.IO.DirectoryInfo cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor.' I have tried working around this in several ways: explicit casting of DirectoryInfo; a wrapper object (snippet shown below line) that is set to fsi. The object won't cast to FileSystemInfo. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I can be contacted at bedocs@gdls.com.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft.public.platformsdk.security&cat=en-us-msdn-windev-winsdk&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catli ...Show All
