• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Trying to learn WCF, hitting svcutil problem

  I'm trying to figure this WCF stuff out. I purchased the Hands-On book and downloaded the fixes for the June CPT, which I have installed. As I follow the first example (Ch 2), it goes OK until I get to the svcutil command. When I try to execute that I get the following errors: Yes, I can see the wsdl. I'll check to see what version of svcutil I'm running. Thanks for the tip. Kirk ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why is the variable "components" (System::ComponentModel::Container) added?

  When a Windows Forms Application project is created in Visual Studio a variable named components (System::ComponentModel::Container) is added to the generated source code. But why I only see this variable accessed in the destructor: ~Form1() { if (components) { delete components; } } So, why is that variable added and how is it used I think the  components member is used when you add to the form an item from Components panel. For instance, if you add a Timer , then a line like this is generated:   this->timer1 = (gcnew System::Windows::Forms::Timer( this->components )); ...Show All

• Visual C# Placing a filter on Image

  Hi all, I am a beginner in C# but somehow it is required of me to use C# to create a presentable GUI that will place a movable filter on to an image. I did post a different topic previously however, I thought that someone might be able to help me better, if I describe the task at hand in more detail. What I wish to do is load an image to a picturebox. Then place black plane with a circular hole of a specified radius. So the final picture will be only viewable via this little hole and everything else will be black. Now this hole needs to traverse line by line such that at the end the whole image would have been presented to the user. The time it takes to traverse to the end should be made variable. I thought of doing the above task by ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I can't install!

  This is the error: Error 32003.File 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common 7\Tools\vsvars32.bat' could not be opened for write. It won't install! Can anyone help The second guess I make would be that you are running antivirus/spyware/malware software that scans files as they are created. This would temporarily lock the file and the actual installation might get problems writing to certain files like bat files (as they are considered to be executable). If you are running that kind of software you might want to disable it during the install. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When to use windows browser app?

  Hello, I'm wondering when is it beneficial to use a winfx browser app, as oppose to the regular winfx windows app I have a list of questions/concerns...sorry about the lenght of this posting :-) I'm playing with xaml at home, and I think it is the best way of developing ui. It really seperates the roles of the designer and the programmer. But, in my work place, even for intranet applications, business people are really attached to thin clients (ASP.NET). I think most businesses are like that. I was thinking if the middle tier is developed using web services (wcf) then I could develope a rich client that runs in the browser (winfx browser app). a) So should I develope a rich client as a browser app b) Is that what brow ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to not get combobox SelectedIndexChanged be executed on load

  Hello, As what the subject line is.... What is the method to not allow combobox SelectedIndexChanged to be executed on load... and only make it to be executed when a "USER" changes the selection value. Thanks Why not set the handler for the event to nothing, load the control, then set the handler to the routine you want to handle the event, a lot simpler than watching booleans and also reduces execution time as the handler is not executed for each add. Try: [code] RemoveHandler cboTerm.SelectedIndexChanged, addressof cboTerm     With Me.cboTerm             .DataSource = Me.MiscDataTableTableAdapter.GetDataByTerm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TSD4001 Error - Why?

  On occassion, not always, when I open my project, I will receive six TSD4001 Errors ('Database msdb cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space...'). Each of the six errors are from stored procs in our project that reference the msdb table. I do have insufficiennt memory on my laptop (2G) and have roughly 20G free on my hard disk. Also, I can open Management Studio against my local SQL Server instance just fine. I can even query against the msdb database in M.S. without problems. Can anyone tell me why this occurs Thanks - Amos. Gert, No this doesn't occur right after a restart. In fact I just tested this by loading the project in question after my laptop ha ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies ADM File for WDS 3.01 not Working

  Hi, I have run the installer, copied the extracted folder and located the desktopsearch30.adm file. When I import this into GPMT I cannot locate any of the settings within the User Configuration area.

• Smart Device Development Which Project Type Do I Need To Use?

  Hi All, I'm about to embark on my first .NETCF2.0 mobile application. This application is targeting a Windows Mobile 5.0 HP iPAQ hw6910 / hw6915 device. This device also has mobile phone capabilities that kind of categorises it as a Smartphone device. Saying this, it is actually has the functionality, look and feel of a Pocket PC device. My instincts tell me to use the Pocket PC 5.0 project type but I need to ensure I can access the Mobile Telephony API’s including accessing SMS type functionality. I also need to use the media API’s to control the devices camera. Have I chosen the correct project here Thanks In Advance.

• Visual Studio Team System Converting build process to Team Build

  Hi all, In our current build process we use Nant, and have the following configuration: Each solution has an associated build file, that builds only that solution and places the dll in a shared location. Developers run this build file when they have made a change to ensure their modification does not break the build. We then have a master build file, which calls each individual build file (of each solution that make up the program) in order of dependencies to build the full program. We are moving over to TFS and are hoping to use Team Build. The problem is i cannot seem to see how our current way of working can be mapped to the Team Build process; here are the options we have discussed: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF53010 / TF14055 error

  I upgraded our TFS environment from RC1 to RTM last week and have to say that it went extremely smoothly. The entire upgrade (Dual Tier environment) took around 1.5 hours. Much nicer than my B3R to RC1 experience :) I did run into a few "glitches" that I've been working through. Two seem to have been preexisting issues, another was apparently a change in a developer's directory structure that I had to "help" troubleshoot. The final hurdle I'm trying to overcome appears to be some kind of authentication issue. Here's a sample of what I'm seeing in the event log on the AT machine (names changed to protect the innocent ) Event Type: Warning Event Source: TFS Version Control Event Category: None Event ID: 6008 Da ...Show All
