• SQL Server 64 bit(part II)

  In a recent post, I've read that Jet Provider is only provided with 32-bit. I wonder, is there any problem if you run a SSIS package 32-bit which read from Access and then call another SSIS package 64 bit We've got quite 2000 dts which pulling data from MDB and within a time it'll disappear in favour 2005 environment . Another question, what sort of Providers don't offer us 64-bit versions Any link or thought will be as usual welcomed The msdaora drivers also don't function in 64bit. This is a bit of a hassle since the oracle provided 64bit drivers don't work correctly. ODBC is also a bit tricky since you have to create dsn's for 32 bit and 64 bit since the desinger is 32 and the runtime is 64. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TabItem IsSelected background property

  Hello, I am using the June CTP and here is my problem: I have a TabControl with some tabItems that I am trying to style. I have my style working and it looks great. The only problem is when a tab is selected it changes its background and forground. I am using the trigger property to catch when the tabItem is selected and am able to change the foreground color (im my case it changes to red). However, the background does not change (even with a simple color of black instead of my gradient). Am I setting the wrong property (background) or is this not implemented in the tab control yet <Style x:Key="tabItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="TabItem.IsSele ...Show All

• Smart Device Development COM port communication on emulator

  I have basically used this code (C#) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.readtimeout.aspx taken here from MSDN to make a com port communicator. I have done the basic adjustments to the CF 2.0, and I have handled the com port mapping in the emulator configuration. Using a similar program for COM port communication from the PC works fine. But I can't communicate through the COM port when I use the emulator. After the initialisation I check if the port is open, for what it's worth, but I can see with a break out box on the RS232 pinning that no bytes are sent although I get no error messages. I would be grateful for comments and tips on tutorials or tips on this issue. Since the threading in the CF is reduced, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to access Parent Element of the ItemsControl's Panel?

  Here is the situation: I have created an overloaded Canvas object as an external assembly. Now I use it as a panel object in ItemsControl: <Viewbox xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:Custom="clr-namespace:CustomNamespace" Stretch="Fill"> <ItemsControl> <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel> <ItemsPanelTemplate> <Custom:CustomCanvas/> </ItemsPanelTemplate> </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel> </ItemsControl> ....... </Viewbox> How can I access that ItemsControl object from my assembly. Thing is that I define some resources on ItemsControl and I want to use them in my Canvas Assebmly C# code. On runtime the CustomCanvas has Parent property set to null, so I'm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HELP- solve the great debate

  I and my co-workers are having a debate they seem to think that windows 2000 professional and windows 2003 ent are the same with minor exception. I believe there is a great difference esp. dealing with memory and (serving)applications. I cannot find any documentation from Microsoft to support my statements. I believe I am correct. Am I wrong Thanks you are right, there are quite many improvements as well as additional features in Win 2003 Ent. I don't know, why you are not finding any documentation on that. Take any area and then look for that in both the versions. BTW, you are into wrong Forum - this is for Team Foundation Server - you need to look for Windows related Forum ...Show All

• Visual Studio "The source code is different from the original version."

  I just started having problems debugging my multi-project C# solution in VS 2005 (Windows Forms with a couple class libraries). When I put a breakpoint on a method header and hit debug, the breakpoint gets hollowed out and a yellow exclamation point is added. The tooltip explains: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version." While not debugging, I noticed that the tooltip for the breakpoint shows a 12 line difference: "At MyClass.cs line, 48 ('MyNamespace.MyClass', line 36)." Now, if I put a breakpoint thats not on a method header, it appears to work just fine. It breaks at the correct location and I'm able to step through the code line by line. I don't ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can side-by-side COM DLL servers in C++ be signed for runtime trust checking?

  I have a COM DLL server written in unmanaged C++. I want to secure it against tampering. My questions are: Does side-by-side COM support signing an unmanaged DLL so that the COM runtime can verify that the DLL is signed with a key that matches a publicKeyToken in the client How can I do this with Visual Studio 2005 Here's what I already know how to do with VS 2005: Use mt.exe to generate a server manifest from a type library Embed manifests in the server DLL and the client EXE, so that the client can activate the server in side-by-side deployment, as described in MSDN's "Registration-Free Activation of COM Components: A Walkthrough" Generate hash codes and a CDF file for a manifest that is not embedded, g ...Show All

• Visual C# New bug added in VS 2005 SP1? "Unreachable code detected" warning.

  Has anyone else experienced this The following code now generates a warning saying "Unreachable code detected". This is new since applying VS 2005 SP1. The warning is given on the throw statement below. public DateTime CurrentTime { set { if (value == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException(); // Error here. } currentTime = value; } } It implies that the value passed in to the setter could never be null which is obviously not true. I just started getting this warning after upgrading with SP1. ...Show All
