• Windows Forms Adding DataSets To DataSource Pane

  I have a really silly question. I have a VS2005 windows solution and most of my DataSets have disappeared from the DataSources Pane; though the DataSets are still in my Solution Explorer. How can I add the DataSets back to the DataSources pane Thanks, cj Ok, it appears that this was related to the duplicate connection string issue mentioned in this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=921869&SiteID=1 I removed a duplicate connection string from ONE dataset and then ALL of my datasets reappeared in the DataSource panel. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSTA and ClickOnce deployment

  Hi, Is it possible to deploy a VSTA application supporting macros by using ClickOnce I saw that we need to write keys to the registry to enable the IDE (macro) and this is one of the ClickOnce restrictions. Is there a "how to" deploy VSTA application with ClickOnce Thanks Hi, About this observation, and the other one in a separate thread, when you get no answers for a question it could be that: - The question is not well formulated, it does not have enough data, etc. This does not seem your case, but I see it quite often. Quite a few people don't bother to say if they are using VS.NET 2003 or 2005, if they are building an add-in or a VS SDK package, they don't provide sampl ...Show All

• SQL Server Create procedure

  Hi I try to create a very simple stored procedure, CREATE PROCEDURE Importera_fil @fil varchar AS INSERT INTO XMLFaktura ( Faktura ) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ( Bulk '@fil' , SINGLE_CLOB ) AS DocumentID but I get an errormessage when I try to create it, Msg 4860, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Importera_fil, Line 4 Cannot bulk load. The file "@fil" does not exist. So my question is, how can i create the procedure Thanks for any help The parameters of most DDL statements, OPENROWSET, OPENQUERY etc cannot be passed as variables. You have to specify the file name using literals directly. This is a limitation in the language feature. So in ord ...Show All

• Visual Studio BizTalk Project Type

  Does anyone know how to gain access to a biztalk project within GAT. The normal VSProject project1 = referringProject.Object as VSProject just throws an error as it cant recognise the project format which is specific to biztalk. On a related question, are you binding recipes to a BizTalk project type I don't have much (any) experience with BizTalk but I guess they implement a custom project flavor, which means most probably you need to know their custom GUID:ID pair in order to be able to bind recipes to it. If you have done this, could you share it with the community :-) thanks!, -Victor. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Multiple communication instances

  Hi Guys, The GUI s/w running on the PC allows the user to select a variable from the list of variables. These variables are globals of an application running on the hardware board. The GUI basically acts as watch window on these variables whose data is subject to change at run-time. At any given point of time only a single variable can be monitored from one GUI. The GUI has the following buttons: 1. Read the variable data 2. Modify the variable data with the user input data 3. Read the variable data continously till the user clicks stop button.(Stop button is present on the same GUI) To monitor multiple variables, another button is provided on the GUI which when clicked opens a similar watch window GUI(instance). The PC s/w and the b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to call methods/functions from other form

  Hi again peeps, may i know the codes for calling a function/procedure from other forms, is this the right thing to do Or do I have to make a public class for easy call from any form Any sample codes Thanks There are lots of ways to do this. Unfortunately you didn't supply a lot of information. Does the function relate to data in the other class or is it just a utility function If it's the latter, you might consider adding a module called common with a Public attribute. It's the former and it relates to data in the other class then good practice suggests that you make it a public property which may be ReadOnly, WriteOnly or just a property. There are good snippets for this in the snippet library. ...Show All

• .NET Development ".NET Runtime Optimization Service has encountered a problem and needs to close" V. 2.0

  Hi, having lots of problems installing vs 2005 proff on Win Server 2003. After going through the process of installing and uninstalling vs 2005 a couple of times with varying degrees of failure, I decided to try just installing .net framework 2.0. After uninstalling all VS components and all .net Frameworks I downloaded .net Framework 2.0. While going through the install process I get: ".NET Runtime Optimization Service has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

• Visual Studio Platfrom SDK Generic Path

  I've just installed the latest Platform SDK ("Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2") into the default directoy, which is "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2". A very bad feeling came over me. How are solutions/projects supposed to build against this SDK, when they had previously built against an SDK that did not have that specific Platform SDK folder name I was hoping MS was clever enough to "auto-supply" an environment var, or better still a $(SDK) macro within VS2005 that points to the location of the SDK...so that builds will work regardless of different Platform SDK installations on different build boxes. But this was not the case. Am I missing something This seems like an egre ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot use credentials for proxy account

  Hi, because my package does not run with SQL-Server-Agent, but without problems if started by "hand", I created a new credential which contains the information needed for the package. I did this as described on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx . After that i tried to create an proxy account, but when I chose the created credential, Management Studio says "Der Proxy "[name_of_credential] ist kein gultiger Windows-Benutzer(Microsoft SQL Server, Fehler: 14529)". This means something like: "This Proxy is not a valid windows-user. Error: 14529". Any hints how to use a credential that is not a windows-user Regards, Jan Wagner Oh, ok. I tho ...Show All
