• Visual Studio Team System How to deny/prevent overriding Check-in policy

  Hello, all I've created a new check-in policy, which does not allow checking in anything without any comments. It works well, but the user still gets the Policy Failure window that gives an opportunity to override policy failure, I don't want this window to appear and more than that, I don't want users to override check-in policy.                                                                      ...Show All

• .NET Development Could someone please point me to an up-to-date tutorial on interop

  Hello, I need to either 1) write a .dll that uses both managed and unmanaged code or 2) write a .dll in unmanaged code that references managed code. I am trying to call managed from unmanaged code, the other way around isn't that important. My unmanaged code needs to be in C++, but the managed portion could be in C#, C++, or even VB (I have a version in C# and one in C++ right now)!! More specifically, I'm actually working out of a language that is called MQL. It's basically like C, except no pointers and no structs, but I can import .dll's. I want to use .NET library from this code.... All of the materials I find online seem to be outdated by about 3 years. I need a very simple step-by-step tutorial, or set of tutorials ...Show All

• Visual C++ COM/ATL App Method Return/Pass defined types

  Alright, I am not by any means an expert C++ programmer, so please bare with me. I have created a com object that will be implemented within C#, the reason for this com object is to create a persistent object of another library. My situation is this. I have the complete com object created, but would like to add additional supporting features, i.e.: An object that is defined within the C++ com object, such as a struct containing an int, a wchar_t*, and a boolean value. I would like to be able to utilize the object type from within C# to store the object rather than have a new object type in C#. I have seen this done in many cases, but just have no clue where to find such direction for supporting this. I would also like the come objec ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datarow or datarow.ItemArray column order is not the same as the physical DB column order

  I have a strong-typed DB with 51 columns. The last column has about 4k varchar length. (C# 2005, sql2005) After locating a specific row number, i had to extract the datarow and put it as a parameter in another class. But when I try to extract the content of the datarow by using the order of the column, it's not of the same order as the physical db The problem is there are some columns that replaces one with another (making its own order), in my case column 27, 31, 32, 33. So if I write  myData[27]=datarow1[27].ToString(); I'll get datarow1[31] instead. Have any of you guys experienced this kind of problem, Could it be a bug Thanks in advance, appreciate it!

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Safe to obfuscate a VSTO solution?

  I've not actually tried this yet, mainly because I'm in the middle of trying to get a release out the door, but I had planned on obfuscating my code (the VSTO assembly) before final release. I am concerned, however, that in doing so, I will break the solution ... So I need to know: Is it safe to obfuscate the assembly of a VSTO project Geoff - My concern dealt with reflection back into the Assembly, since I obviously do not know how and/or what the VSTO is doing "behind the scenes". I am using Dotfuscator, so I will give it a "go" and let you know if we encounter any problems/issues. Thank you for your time and response, D. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Setup project for executing msbuild project

  I have a msbuild project say foo.proj that works well when I execute the following at the .net 2.0 sdk command prompt. msbuild.exe foo.proj /v:diag Now I want to package it so that I can distribute the install on a CD. What can I do to create a setup project for it Thanks, mg It's just an xml file, you don't need a setup for it.... but if you really want it, just create an install for it using VS (new setup project). You wouldn't distribute MSBuild itself, you rely on the client to download that, although as part of the "install" of your proj file you could do a check to make sure MSBuild is installed on the client machine. Is this what you were wanting sluggy ...Show All
