• Community Chat VS 2005 SP1 official release

  The official SP1 release for Visual Studio 2005 is available. I've found the following download locations: - Team Suite, Professional and Standard edition - Team Foundation Server - Express editions The service pack for Windows Vista is delayed. A KB article with a list of all the documented bugs that got fixed is available here .  I assume additional bug fixes and performance enhances were made that never produced a prior KB article. What makes you think that's the case I couldn't find that asserted in any of the MSFT web pages. It is a 431 MB download and a 6.2 GB disk space hit. I'd think most of us would want to be sure. Please post a link. ...Show All

• .NET Development Changes made to multiple tables

  Hello all, This may sound rather silly (a newbie question...), but is there a way to have more than one table in a dataset, and to have the dataAdapter updated afterwards with changes that were made to all tables If not (as I believe would be the case), what is the easiest way to go about this Am I obliged to create a dataAdapter & dataset for each table if I wish to minimize the usage of dataAdapter.update dataAdapter.fill methods (initializing/filling the Dset & Dadapter upon Form load, then having a certain point to update, instead of updating with every click event and the likes..) Hope this was coherent enough , thanks for any answer.. Somehing like: string strSQL="select * from table1"; string strSQL2="s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Disabling the vertical scrollbar from a listbox

  Any suggestions on how to would be greatly appreciated! spotty wrote: When you say disable the scrollbar - do you still want the control enabled but with no scrollbar. It would seem its standard windows behaviour to display a scrollbar if required (hence why would you want to disable it) Because I'm creating a new control to handle several other listboxes. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Commercial Use of MSN Live Maps

  Hi, I have spent countless hours searching for a link which explains commercial use of MSN Live Maps and associated pricing, and have been unsuccessful. Could someone please direct me where I could find pricing for MSN Live Maps as I wam developing a mash-up and would like to utilise the MSN Live Maps for the project My greatest worry is that daily search/query limitations will undermine the mash-up, as the service is free. Therefore, I am willing to pay for the service which would guarantee service and reliability. Thank you. The Terms of Use outlines the rules of what you can do "for free".

• Software Development for Windows Vista Breakpoint not being hit while debugging

  Hi, I'm working on a POC using Workflow Engine. Its a sequential workflow. I'm instantiating the workflow on selection of a list box item. The problem is that, I'm unable to debug the workflow. I've put a breakpoint on one of the activities to debug through the code. The Breakpoint is not being hit by the debugger. Please help. If the workflow project is not the startup project then you will be able to set breakpoints in the code beside, but won't be able to set them on activities. You must follow the steps that Matt suggested to do what you want. When the workflow project starts the workflow debugger will be started and then the application pointed to in the workflow projects Startup Action will be started, in your case the ...Show All

• SQL Server Major performance hit in select statement once database reaches 50,000 records

  I'm running SQL Server 2005 (64bit) Evaluation Edition. I'm doing an evaluation on performance for an internal project here at work. The machine has 2GB of RAM and is an AMD 64 running Windows XP 64 with SQL Server 2005 64 Eval The database has about 200,000 records in the person table. Select * from person is the statements "very simple" The results up to 49,000 are acceptable then at 50,000 it goes into a crawl and starts returniong 100 records every 2 seconds. Does anyone know what is going on here I assume you have a very good reason for sending tens of thousands of records back to a client... You may easily solve your problem by using something like a where clause. The number of records in a table lik ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help: How to create new project from old? or Source Control Tool?

  I would like to create a new project from an existing one. For example, Test2 from Test1. Is there a way of changing all the names on the files and all the occurances of Test1 in the files Having this automated would be helpful, because I build in small steps, and so will use the process many times. I know I can copy the Test1 folder, subfolders, and files to a folder Test2, and the rename files. And I have an editor that will replace text in all files in all subfolders. But even that can be tedious. Perhaps a source control system might be helpful. Is there a free one that will marry with VS 2005 Express Urm, yes, you can't do it inside the IDE. No, AFAIK, you can definitely do it outside the IDE. If i ...Show All
