• Visual C# VS 2005 crashes when launching "Add Reference" dialog

  Actually happens for both c# and vb.  I simply try to add a reference and before any window pops up vs hangs and then crashes.  I reinstalled w/out any luck (note I didn't uninstall and reinstall -- I did the "repair" utility which apparently recopied all necessary files). It was working fine some time ago and haven't a clue what is different -- I certainly didn't install anything that would directly affect the ide... like a plugin/extension. Unfortunetly w/out this functionality I cannot develop anything using vs 2005 that requires anythign more than the most basic references. There is only one post which has the same problem as yours here in MSDN forums and it was never resolved... My gue ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can we host DSL designer in a custom host application?

  Is it possible to create a designer host to host DSL diagramming This way we can create a designer host using Visual Studio but won't need Visual Studio to create a diagram. If it's feasible, would it be allowed per license/distribution agreement Hi Santabo, I believe Alan was suggesting that you could generate your own graphical application from your DSL model. Unfortunately, in V1, using our graphical design surface outside of Visual Studio is not supported. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 MSDE

  Hi We have sharepoint installed and as per the developer MSDE was installed by Sharepoint. I don't know much about Sharepoint but I would like to administer the 2 databases created by registering it with Enterprise manager. We have licenses for SQL Server 2000 Standard edition (per processor license). Is it okay for me to register the msde and manage it graphically rather than using osql commands. Thanks.   please be aware, if the operating system installed on that computer will be upgraded to Vista, then MSDE will not be supported. You may need to upgrade the MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. See the following page for additional information: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/sql ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to remove redundant phrase in field?

  Hi all........ I have a table field that contains things such as..... V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT; V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT -I&S MASTER; 7 SUB 2610-139-3704; I&S MASTER; 7 SUB FOR 2610-139-3704 What I need to do is remove the duplicate phrases, leaving only one instance of each phrase in the field. The amount of phrases in the field varies...could be 2 as shown above or there could be 6. I suspect that the 'common denominator' is the semi-colon, but everything I've tried has failed. Any help is greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, there are literally hundreds of thousands of possible phrases. Somehow I need to look at 'field1' in every record (several million ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions open a file in listview control

  Hello all, Part of an application that I'm working on uses a treeview/listview control. My goal is pretty simple, I think... I've created an application that parses HTML files. It allows the user to edit these parsed fields and save their changes over the existing file. I realize that I could use the filebrowser dialog, or simply enter the path of file, but I need the user to be able to select a file in the listview control and have that file load in a textbox. Again, user selects (clicks) a file in the listview. By clicking the file it automatically opens in the textbox. I have no clue as to how to accomplish this seemingly simple task. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Mike ...Show All

• Visual Basic Tab Control Bug in VB 2005 Express

  Hope This is right place for this question Apologies if not. Hi I have looked around the MS site to see if there is a fix for this bug. When I use the Tab Control Panel and place the tabs down the left or right of the control I cannot see the labels, it seems to work fine whilst tabs are at the top. O and the problem only seems to exist in XP Theme, if I change the theme back to old Classic it works fine. Regards Northhaven Thank you, I will try that out ASAP.

  How do I make Visual Basic enter values in a listbox while the program is running, instead of waiting until the end and then displaying all values Sounds like you're running code that takes a while to finish. For a Q&D fix, call Application.DoEvents() after you've added the item to allow the ListBox to repaint itself. For a clean fix, you'd need threading and Invoke(). ...Show All
