• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. CPIAD That is exactly the problem and question I am also experiencing...I finally uninstalled both IE7 and Netscape 8.1 (which is also behaving unsatisfactoril ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Building project which referring dlls from other project

  We have Framework which is used in several our Team Projects. Framework is a Team Project itself When I generated build for one of the client Team projects (and build files obviously belong to the this client Team Projects) looks like the Build engine is not aware of those referenced Framework DLLs. It tries to look for them in the client project root folder, can't find it and obviously fails to compile. This build is automatically generated with no targets added or removed so i would expect that this minimal build script would work but not. Any suggestions how I can fix it Can build pickup files from different Team Projects Do you have the projects of a single solution scattered across multipl ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development MSHTML based scraper

  Hi, I'm writing a web scraper toolkit in C++ which I'll be using to write several web scrapers. I decided to save myself some time by using MSHTML to parse pages, but I've run into a number of problems with it. I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum for this issue, but it's the closest I could find. Getting a single page in and parsing it is no problem. I can walk the DOM nicely and pick off whatever info I want. Pretty easy. (At least, after writing some wrappers for the otherwise laborious COM interfaces.) The problem is getting to the next page. If I do anything that would normally cause navigation, such as inducing a click on a link or submitting a form, it launches IE to browse the page interactively. According to MS ...Show All

• SQL Server Where are the SQL 2005 Tools?

  My system has SQL Server 2000 on it, and had SQL Server 2005 Express. I have installed the 180 Enterprise Edition EVAL VERSION from MS. But in the Programs Menu, Under SQL Server 2005, the only tools were those under Configuration Tools.

I have installed with all the defaults, Analysis, Reporting services etc. My system is a Core 2 Duo, T7600 with 2GB of RAM, so I cannot understand why the client tools do not install.

• SQL Server writing to text?

  Hey guys, I am an beginner in SQL syntax and wanted to know if there is a way to either write/export/update text to a flat file in the SQL 2005 query. The sitaution is that I want to write data to the flat file after I have updated a table in the same query. Thanks for any ideas. Take a look at 'BCP' in BOL and google - it'll allow you to output a flat file either from a table, or a query to a filename of your choice with delimiters of your choice. It's available in SQL 2000 and whilst I'm not 100% sure, I'd be surprised if it's not included in 2005. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Analyzing code against industry coding standards e.g. MISRA-C

  Is it possible to have FxCop check code against industry standards like "MISRA-C" (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association), which is used in numerous industries (medical, automotive, avionics, telcom, defense, etc.). Does any tool exist that analyzes your code against such standards (not just Microsoft standards) Has anyone implemented these rules using FxCop I don't know of anyone that has implemented these standards in FxCop. What kind of rules/guidelines are these Do they go down to the code level Or are they more broad guidelines ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build freezing?

  I have run a build a few times now, and it is freezing. I am running a custom installshield task that I have wrote. I have to build about 12 merge modules using the ISSABld.exe, it gets through about 6 of them and then while building it freezes. Does anyone know why this happens Thanks.

Did you happen to check the Event Log I'm wondering if there's anything there to narrow down the problem. Whenever I see a truncated build log like you are showing, I start to think that the MSBuild process crashed. There should be something in the Event log if this is the ca ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Macro stops running after a certain time, excel limitation???

  Hey guys i have this problem: I have to run a macro for Excel that calculates some values for the entire 2006 year. To do that it has to open 365 daily files check for some circuits and calculate a sum. It opens a file does some checking, writes some values then closes it, opens the next one and so on. For a smaller number of circuits it worked fine and took about 10 minutes. Second time it opened several files and then stopped with after a file is opened. I used a breakpoint for End Sub but it doesn't reach that. Do you know of any limitations in vba or maybe in Excel PS: I turned off autorecovery Thanks You're right. I think it was my fault.

• Visual Basic nextinstance

  hi, i wrote a single instance application - a pic viewer. if i double click on an picture file it opens up my app with that file. now if my program is runnin and i open up one more pic i'd like my program change the shown pic to the new - i know i have to write this in the application events, the StartupNextInstance event but don't know how to get the path of the second pic. any idea thnx I think you're on the wrong track, the ActivationUri property is undocumented but sounds like the URL where you'd obtain an upgrade. I don't know enough about ClickOnce, I'd recommend you start a new thread in the VB.NET General forum, this one is already marked as answered so attracks few visitors... ...Show All
