• Visual Studio Team System Not able to view the FxCop Output Window

  I am being faced with an unusal problem of late. I am not able to view the FxCop 1.35 output window (bottom). There are three windows. (frames) one the rule explorer (left), the analysis results window (right) and the output window (bottom). The last one mentioned is not visible to me on the FxCop 1.35 GUI. This problem is only specific to my work station. I checked out that this problem is not happening at my neighbouring work stations. The only difference between my work station and all neighbouring ones is that I have both .NET 1.1 and 2.0 (as well as VS2003 and VS2005) installed. The reason for the two installation being that the rules assembly has to be a .NET 2.0 one and the Target assemblies are .NET 1.1. Kindly help....... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error Deploying to Vista

  I have a VS2005/VB desktop application that uses the built-in version of CR. When I run the package (msi file) on a WinXP system all goes well but when I try it on a Vista (Business) system I get a series of errors indicating that various CR related dlls could not be registered. The error returned is always something like..."c:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895" Do I need to do something different in VS to support Vista Failing to register usually means lack of permissions to the registry. Make sure you are logged in as administrator to the machine. I have not used Vista personally, but I have heard that the permissions, especially to the reg ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Database Table to Flat File Destination with Column Headings

  Hi, I have a simple enough task to complete that I can’t seem to find the answer to. The task is this – Select table x from the database and write it to a flat file complete with that tables column headings. Now I’ve managed to set up an ole db datasource and selected the table and I’ve also linked it to the flat file output.   So now I can generate a flat file from the database.   However no column headings appear in the flat file.   I can’t seem to find anywhere (like a checkbox) that will also output the column headings to the flat file.   Now I can add in Headings manually in the properties of the Flat File Destination object but the columns that appear in the flat file don’t appear to be i ...Show All

• SQL Server ACT! and SQLsmbiz server

  I honestly have no idea what I even need to ask here but bear with me. I had ACT 3.0 installed on my Dell Inspiron notebook. MS Professional with SP2, MS Small Business and MS Small Business Accounting. I use Outlook with Contact Manager too. As ACT 3 is old and not really useful to me now I wanted to upgrade to ACT 2006! Before so I and without knowing I shouldn't have done so, I "uninstalled" ACT 3.0. Or so I thought. Installation seemed successful with ACT 2006 except I am not able to either build or open any database or demo database. Get message relating to no Master something". Tried to uninstal ACT 2006! but unable to remove all components. Long story short I called ACT and after paying $199.00 for a service agreement ...Show All

• Visual C++ Function return values?

  I just noticed that the "Autos" window does not show the values returned by functions. These did appear in VS6. Has this capability been lost, or is there some setting that needs to be changed in order to have the return values displayed Hi, the functionality you're talking about is still present the VS 2005 as well as in VS 2003. Check if you are generating the debug information and disable the optimizations in your project properties. ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about Remoting lifetime configuration

  Hi, I have a Remoting issues that has pazzled me for quite some time. Our app has an IIS hosted Remoting middle tier that serves a Windows form front-end.

On the Remoting server I have this configured (in web.config) like the following: <system.runtime.remoting> <application> <service> <wellknown mode="SingleCall" objectUri="QLManagerFactory.rem" type="AppHost.QLManagerFactory, AppHost"/> </service> <channels> <channel ref="http"> <serverProviders> <provider ref="wsdl"/> <formatter ref="s ...Show All

• SQL Server Vista 64 Bit

  I am trying to develop using SQL Server Compact Edition on Vista 64-bit and when I try to load the .DLL files for x86 I get 'BadImageFormatException'.

But there it is not possible yet to run the.NET application in "x64 mode". Gerrit ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development More complex samples from Microsoft, any ETA?

  Hi Microsoft, I (and I'm sure everybody in this forum) am waiting for the more complex (and close to real iHD apps) samples from you. Do you have any ETA Thanks, -k After some small debugging you can play them on any hd-dvd player. Xpath Variables are an awesome way to code HDi. Debugging is funny though because the Microsoft Validator doesn't parse the .js for the Xpath stuff and the Sonic Simulator Trace.exe gives this error: "This.getcurrentmenu() is NULL" line 130 pos 5 in architecture.js Plays fine in my 360 HD-DVD player and in the HD-A1 though. It's an interesting case of both debuggers not recognizing Xpath correctly but the actual hardware player play it fine. The playback in my 360 is ...Show All

• .NET Development How to dynamically change connection string in generated dataset class?

  I have a project with database classes which are generated from database objects. That is I add a dataset to the project and drag and drop a database object onto it. The problem with this is that I have to give a connectionstring which is stored in the code. This is ok while developing the application. But runtime I want to use another connectionstring, both for security reasons and because each user of the application will correspond to a database user (ms sql) and shall have a corresponding connectionstring. Is there an easy way to do this without having to restore to plain all datasets and do everything myself gdexter wrote: I want to use your solution for this frustration problem...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Smooth movement

  I did a "game" where a ball bounce around the screen. It's running at 60 fps but it isn't a smooth movement. It's an issue from XNA Framework Beta I am working with SpriteBatch class... In your Update method, you should use the elapsed variable with every moving game component you have: float playerX = 0f; float playerY = 0f; float playerXSpeed = 100f; float playerYSpeed = 30f; protected override void Update() { // The time since Update was called last float elapsed = (float)ElapsedTime.TotalSeconds; // TODO: Add your game logic here playerX += playerXSpeed * elapsed; playerY += playerYSpeed * elapsed; // Let the GameComponents update UpdateComponents(); } As you c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista why is my application getting elevated?

  Hi, Strangely, even though i don't include "requiredAdministrater" in manifest file, it gets elevated. The executable file name doesn't contain any of setup, install or any of those words that vista uses for heuristic detection. Where else should I check to prevent elevation I'm using visual studio 2005 sp1. Thanks in advance. heuristic detection looks for more than just 'setup' and 'install' in the filenames. I'd suggest putting the appropriate requestedExecutionLevel in a manifest for the app (I'm guessing you want 'asInvoker'), if you can. ...Show All
