• Windows Forms Windows installer launch condition

  Hi Guys, I am trying to create a setup and deployment project in VS 2005 for a windows form project. A couple of dependencies for my application are - 1) .NET framework 2) ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 I have been able to successfully add the .NET 2.0 framework check to the launch condition. I've also added the Active Perl check but its not working right. I mean, I get a "perl not found" error even on systems where the perl is installed. How should I correct this behavior Its probably something in the Condition check that I'm messing up. Here are the properties I have for perl launch check - (Name) ActiveState Perl Condition Installed InstalllUrl <url> Message Perl could not be found. Please install ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making custom user control as root of xaml

  i'd like to create a class that inherits from a WPF control say UserControl or Grid and then have another XAML whose code behind in turn inherits from that class. On using the name of the custom class in the Root element of the XAML, get an error saying this is an invalid root element. Is there a way to get around this There's a limitation in v1 that you cannot use a custom class as a root element, if that custom class is defined within the same assembly that is attempting to reference it. With the existing design, the XAML reader doesn't have a completed assembly to examine at the time that it tries to resolve the custom tag at the root. That's not a problem for elements under the root because there's lo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System API function to display 'Choose Source control item'

  Is there an API function somewhere in the TFS Version Control system that will display the standard source control dialogs. For example I am writing a winforms project diff tool and it would be nice to be able to pop up a dialog box to choose the source control folder to compare.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Test Case 1 - embedded manifests and MSIs

  I am able to embed a manifest into my executable with mt & a custom action, but it does not work when I put it in an installer. I can verify that the manifest is being embedded into the executable that I am building but when I create an msi, using a standard setup project, and install it, the executable no longer has the manifest. Do I need to run mt on the .msi Is the execuable being placed in the .msi before the post build events Or is there just something wrong with my setup project That's not quite what I was looking for. It will esure that the manifest is included with the application, but I was really trying to embed the manifest in the exe itself. On top of that, I need to be able to digitally ...Show All

• Visual C# [BUG report]: Can a MS person have a look at that bug in .Net or office? GenerateInMemory=true And ComServer And not in GAC

  Hi, I can not compile a class "TestCompiler" on the fly in this particular case: - GenerateInMemory=true, AND - inherits from a base class "Eval" defined in another dll which is not in the GAC,AND - ran within Excel (Com server or IDTExtensibility2).

Any thoughts/suggestions THANXS!!!! amb <<Is there any way to pass a command line parameter to VBA inside a PowerPoint presentation We'd like to pass a file name into our program from the command line.>> No, sorry. Most Office applications don't support "command line parameters". You need a different approach. If you were automating Powerpoint (rather than "shelling" it), there wouldn't be a problem. Starting from the command line means you have to store the file name somewhere the PPT program can access. This co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Undocumented error (ESS_SS_HISTOPEN) in VSS 6.0

  Hi All, I'm automating VSS through the COM interface and I consistently get the same error when attempting to do a 'get' operation on items in my database. The error being returned is 0x8004D75C, which I mapped to ESS_SS_HISTOPEN (or "A history operation is already in progress"). Aside from an entry in ssauterr.h, I can't find any documentation that gives me any idea what this error actually means. Anybody have a clue Sean Sean, After talking to my devs, I got the following information: "Which version of VSS is he using In 6.0d and older it was not possible to have to Versions collections simultaneously, and that is the error that you’d get if you tried it.
