• Visual Studio Problems installing Visual Studio 2005 SP1

  I am currently running "Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite for Software Developers" (Vn 8.0.50727.51) on Windows 2003 Standard Edition. I tried running the SP upgrade by launching the exe, and when that gave an error, i extracted the contents and ran the msp file. Both methods resulted in an error prompt message "Windows cannot access the speciried device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". However my account has administrative privileges on my workstation. Appreciate if somebody can tell me why the upgrade installation fails to load. What file did you try to run Was it an .exe Try creating a dummy file with the same extension and double-click tha ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro _MSYSMENU handle is changing after running a modal form

  I'm interesting in why Visual FoxpPro (9 and 8 as I know) changes its main menu handle after running any simple modal form. Here is example: === DECLARE INTEGER GetMenu IN user32.dll INTEGER GetMenu(_VFP.hWnd) && Here see one handle DO FORM <any_modal_form> && Then close the form GetMenu(_VFP.hWnd) && Here see another handle === I look for a solution, which can help me define that moment. I tried to look for any messages, that come to _VFP.hWnd window, but see no messages that changes menu. I think Visual FoxPro as a generic Windows application have to send notification about menu handle changing. Any ideas and comments on how to define that the new handle appeared would be very appreciated ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generics Collection From CollectionBase

  In our business tier, most of our business objects include a collection type that is based off of a Generic collection inheriting from the CollectionBase. I'm trying to get those objects to seralize in a WCF service, and keep getting various exceptions. Either the connection is terminated due to a timeout (which isn't happening) or an exception about the server not knowing how to de-serialize the collection object. Does anyone have experience with this setup and can give me some pointers The code of the collection looks like: .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre {font-size:small;color:black;font-family:Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, Monospace;background-color:#ffffff;} .csharpcode pre {margin:0em;} .csharpcode .rem {colo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem getting <summary> to appear for my Namespace

  I have a multifile DLL assembly that contains 2 classes which are both contained under my custom namespace 'Bankers'. I wanted to include a summary at the root of the namespace. Inside one of my headers for one of these 2 classes that are in the Bankers namespace, I put in a basic summary block, but it does not show up in my MSDN-CHM help file after I build it from the outputted XML file. I didnt get any errors when compiling the XML comments in Visual Studio. Does anyone know how to get NDoc to recognize this I realize there is a 'namespace summaries' button in NDoc 2.0a that allows you paste the summary inside which works, but I do not want to have to do it this way. If anyone with good experience with NDoc knows anything I would re ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpaceWar with a PC controller?

  Hello, I was experimenting the SpaceWar application, but it seems to expect a xbox360 controller instead of a broad PC controller since... well, I'm running it on a PC. Do you know anything about that I should be able to use it. I have a team that wants to use XNA for the PC platform - we could hardly care about the xbox360 at the moment. Forcing our players to have a xbox360 controller when they already have a fully capable controller does not make any sense. Did XNA leave out DirectInput or something I'd hate to drop back into MDX just because of this necessity. If MS has no answer for this, may I suggest that DirectInput should be included in XNA when the program detects its running on a PC Average Joe may not want to play the game ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is it true that an Outlook add-in cannot run with Outlook 2003 from Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003?

  I'm almost sure this is true but I like to get it confirmed once and for all. Is it true that an Outlook add-in cannot run with Outlook 2003 from Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003 ps. I have tried installing the add-in with Small Business Edition installed and it didn't work right away but maybe something else was wrong. I've also installed the add-in with Office 2003 Pro and then it worked.

• Windows Live Developer Forums WPF (Sparkle) overlays in 3D virtual earth

  Ultimately, we would like to be able to go way beyond simple polyline overlays on maps. I.e. we would like to be able to bring the full power of WPF interactive (sparkle) animated graphic embedded in the 3D space of Virtual Earth. (all geo-located). In addition we would love to be able to download all textures and tiles for a region and work off-line. Of course, this is not possbile yet, But how close are things and what can we fake or mock up to get close to this 1. Can we host the control in a WPF application (outside of IE ) 2. Can we find out the camera vector and bounds of the display region 3. Can we get events and updates when the camer shifts 4. If so we might be able to apply our own 3D overlays on top of the map ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Service Running Word via DCOM

  Hi everyone, I developed a Windows service which uses MS Word to generate documents. I call Word using DCOM / OLE. Up to now it worked pretty well. I tested the service on Windows Vista (Beta2, RC1, RC2) and it doesn't work anymore. Opening a Document in Word crashes with varying error messages. Office 2003 sais somthing like "Not enough memory". Office 2007 sais something like "type mismatch". I guess it might have to do something with the Session 0 isolation in Windows Vista. As services in Vista now have an own session. But I guess Word has problems with it's screen. In older Windows versions, Word worked "in the dark". When I run the service as console everything works fine. Anyone an idea w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to re-create Reports Applcation Pool on Win2003?

  We upgraded our TFS server from trial to enterprise, but the license key was never applied to SQL 2005. I had to re-install SQL 2005 full license and we have most items working again. In a rush to get items installed, we deleted the "Reports" application pool. Does anyone know what steps are needed to re-create this Also, all the TFS reports have stopped working unless you type in the project name in the ExplicitProject parameter. Other than using Report Manager to set the default value for every report, is there a better solution - The old ReportServer DB could not be used due to the trial license key. I extracted the RDLs and pushed them to the new database. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you, Bob ...Show All
