• Windows Forms Problem with connection string

  Hello, I am an experienced Excel and Access VBA developer and I am developing my first windows app in VS2005 linking to SQL Server.  The application is standalone with the SQL Server running on the same machine. I have used the Project Properties to define an application setting DatabaseConnectionString of type (ConnectionString), scope Application  and the value is defined using the ... that launches the Connection Properties Dialog. I complete the dialog using appropriate values (server name, Windows authentication, database name) and click the 'Test Connection' button.  All appears OK. The connection string returned is: "Data source=MyExtraLaptop;Initial Catalog=MyNewDatabase;Integrated Security=True" Th ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.Net & ClickOnce --- No changes to deployment???

  I am using VB.Net Express 2005.  I am NOT using FrontPage extensions to send the published application to the IIS server.  Rather, I "publish" to my local drive (c:\publish\) and then upload to the IIS server via FTP.  However, when I Build and Publish, and execute the application either on my local drive, or on the server, none of my changes take effect.  It's like it is "caching" the old code.  None of the changes I make are recognized in the Published Build.  ARGH... I need help! Did you increment the published version number This is what it goes by to determine if a new version of the app needs to be deployed. If it sees the same version number, the client w ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Mile Markers on Custom Routes

  I am creating a site where a user can draw their own route (using polylines). Is there a way to display mile markers on this route Best, Vishal you'll have to customize that yourself. From my understanding, you can't do that in VE, letalone Mappoint doesn't have mile marker functionality. What you could do is put pushpins along your route signifying mile markers. Just an idea. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS .Net Crystal Reports and Excel Export

  Hi, I'm a CR novice and I was wondering if it's possible to create a Crystal Report in VS .Net 2003 that allows me to embed code in the .rpt file that would create a file export and ask the user to save to an Excel file. I'd like to know if this can be done and what if any are some sample codes. Thanks. Novice Hi Shei, Sorry I was away and not able to get back to you sooner. I'm using CR in VB .net 2003. I created a report and in the report's stored procedure I have: alter procedure dbo.rptname @FromDate datetime=null @ToDate datetime=null /* ( @parameter1 datatype = default value, @parameter2 datatype OUTPUT ) */ AS if @FromDate is not null and @To ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Equivalent for appdomain.unhandledexception for a control

  I have a .Net control (activex) which i am using from a VC++ client. things work fine except when there is an exception in the .net contol which is not caught. When it happens the whole vc++ app crashes. is there any way i can at least catch the unhandled exceptions for my control log it before crashing the application. I am looking at something like the appdomain.unhandledexceptionhandler (this works fine for my normal .exe apps but since the control does not have the appdomain i cannot use it for the control) The app that uses the control would have to implement the exception handler. Not desireable, I'm sure. You can possible catch these unhandled exceptions by implementing the WndProc method ...Show All

• Visual C++ msvcp71d.dll is not present in Visual Studio 2003 SP1

  msvcp71d.dll is supposed to be the STL debug version which you would get when you build multithreaded, dll, debug. The non-debug version, msvcp71.dll was updated in SP1, but the debug version was not. That doesn't seem correct to me Thanks, Bruce Sorry, this was a mistake. We didn't see the old version, we just didn't see any version at all. But it turns out it was because we are taking the files from an installation and building our own file tree and we missed this file. Bruce ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What is the TFS equivalent to check out with "Don't get local copy" under VSS?

  To delay-check-in changes on a local file that has not been properly checked out under VSS, I can use a check-out with "don't get local copy" and then a check in. This is an important feature for us since some tools, e. g. FrontPage do not recognize the "read-only" flag. FrontPage just removes it without asking. To be sure that everything is checked-in properly afterwards, there must be a way to detect local changes on files that were not checked out and to "delay check-in" them. If I edit a local file under TFS source control with an external tool (remove read-only flag, edit with editor and save), then the Source Control Explorer doesn't detect this at all! The pending changes view doesn't list the fil ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS2005 Bootstrapper: Shared License Agreement

  We are using the Visual Studio 2005 bootstrapper to install the following prerequisites: Windows Installer 3.1 .NET 2.0 MDAC 2.8 SP1 SQL 2005 Express SP1 and our own custom prerequisite If the user needs all of these prerequisites installed on their machine they are presented with 3 dialogs for accepting license agreements and 1 dialog to install our custom prerequisite. I would really like to get this down to dialog total. So far I haven't found a way to do this, but the MSDN article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/Bootstrapper/ mentions that it is possible to present a single shared license agreement. Unfortunately this article doesn't explain how to accomplish this. I would really appreciate any ...Show All
