• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Condense XAML

  Hello, I have a fairly large xaml file containing some vector icons and would like to reduce the size of the file. I was thinking if I could centralize the common brush resources used in each icon it would reduce the file size, and was wondering if such a tool existed to parse the xaml in this way. The reason behind this is because I have a clickonce deployed xbap, and would like to reduce the size of the assemblies needed on the client as much as possible. Any other suggestions would be welcome. -David When you compile XAML it gets condensed into a binary format called BAML. There is a BAML disassembler that works with Lutz Roeder's reflector. If you were to disassemble the baml that defines the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Return value of Workspace.Merge()

  I'm building an app using TFVC client API to do the following: 1. merge changes in a given changeset from branch-demo to branch-1.0 2. check in the pending merges in branch-1.0 here is the snippet of code: VersionSpec ver = new ChangesetVersionSpec (cs.ChangesetId); GetStatus gs = wsp.Merge(demoPath, targetPath, ver, ver, LockLevel .None, RecursionType .Full, MergeOptions .ForceMerge); Now the problem is how to find out the pending changes resulting from the Merge method call I thought it would be convenient to include a PendingChange[] as part of the returned GetStatus, no Now i guess a rather cumbersome alternative is to do something like this: String [] items = new String [cs.Cha ...Show All

• Visual C++ Application Verifier and MFC app

  I've just tested my application with the Microsoft Application Verifier 3.2 to see if it finds anything BoundsChecker doesn't find and to run the Standard User Analyzer. Actually the Application Verifier always throws an error when I quit my application. I've then created a new MDI application with VC6 and tested that one, and I got the same error. Then started VS2005 and created a new MDI project, and again, same error when I quit the application. The error occurs somewhere in ExitProcess of the CRT. Is this a problem of the Application Verifier or the CRT ======================================= VERIFIER STOP 00000301 : pid 0x3F0: Invalid TLS index used for current stack trace.  FFFFFFFF : Invalid TLS index.  00 ...Show All

• .NET Development Insert fails due to nulls

  I'm getting the following exception when I try to insert new records into a SQL Server Express table. I'm not passing a value for the primary key. I just converted this DB from Access and Access auto-generated the key for me. Will SQL not do this like Access did What's confusing me more is that the code works fine on a version of the db/app running on my local pc using a duplicate of the server db. Can't understand why it would fail on the server but work on my pc. I listed the function being called below as well.

• Visual Studio Properties window cleared/disabled/disappears

  When using Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers IDE with Visual Studio SP1 and ASP.NET AJAX RC installed, the Properties window becomes empty (completely blank) when viewing an ASP.NET control or any <tag> in Source View for a web app. Everything works fine when viewed in Design View. I've only recently installed SP1 & AJAX RC. There are no "extras/add-ons" installed for VS2005 IDE as I've just reinstalled Window Server 2003 EE last week. Just curious to know if there's a "user error" or a "ID10T error" (on my behalf) or if it's just a bug in the SP1 or AJAX RC installations. Note: Before the SP1 & AJAX RC install, everthing worked fine as before and am not sure if it's SP1 or AJAX ...Show All
