• Visual Studio When buildign, VS locks its own build products

  Hi, Using VS 2005 c#. When compiling a multi project solution, we frequently encounter a situation in which VS reports build failure due to assemblies being inaccessible. It actually fails on a copy attempt ( not originating from a post-build command). When attempting to manually delete these files a failure occurs. Process explorer reports devenv.exe to be the one with open handles on the files. Restarting VS solves the problem. I'm not sure this question should go in this forum, but I couldn't find a more fitting forum. Thanks The answer lies in the < GenerateResourceNeverLockTypeAssemblies > true </ GenerateResourceNeverLockTypeAssemblies > tag. Have a look at the following related threads: http://forums.microso ...Show All

• Visual C# windows processes

  folks, I am trying to spawn some processes from my windows service ..using Process pr = new Process(); pr.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Projects\xxx.exe"; pr.Start(); How do i make sure that the process pr has gracefully completed or failed Is there a way to find that does the process report back to the windows service Thanks in advance you can do a WaitForExit but will hang the service until the process is finished entirely.... Process theProcess = new Process(); theProcess.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(" program.exe "); theProcess.WaitForExit(); theProcess.Start(); other than that, I guess you have to find a way from the process you are executing on what th ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to connect to Oracle Data Source

  I'm using SSRS 2005. I'm unable to create a new Shared Data Source, connecting to an Oracle database. I already have the Oracle client installed on my local machine. And I'm trying to create a Shared data source by clicking the Add New Data Source option. Then I select the Type as Oracle and click on the edit button for the connection string.

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports Problem

  hi I have a rpt file and I am trying to use it for printing service of the application. when I import the document into the project everything is OK. I just use it as a class. but I don't want it to be inside the project. I want it as a seprate file near the application. so the user will have this opportunity to change the report without having access to the application itself. I don't know how to implement without add the file into the project. thank you in advance I moved to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio . Hope you get satisfying answers. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent Roles

  I have a domain account that is assigned the the SQLAgentOperator, SQLAgentReader, and SQLAgentUser roles. That domain account is able to create a job and delete the job. But, it is unable to edit the job. If I create a SQL Login with these same permissions, it is able to edit the job. What am I missing We were looking forward to implementing these new built-in security roles because we had to use our own security roles to give us similar functionality in SQL 2000 but it doesn't seem to be working properly in 2005. Michelle Thank you for the article, unfortunately the domain accounts are not behaving as expected when assigning them to these roles which is why I posted my issue. The domain ...Show All

• Windows Forms Editor attribute for a property in a PropertyGrid control

  I need to display a property using a TextBox-derived class that I wrote. How do I do that with a UITypeEditor-derived class I dont need a drop down or an ellipses button. just my TextBox-derived control. Hi, Winforms doesn't support full replacement of the inplace editor control in the PropertyGrid. If you want to a DropDown style, you can provide a custom control for what gets dropped down or if you want a Modal style you can provide a custom dialog that gets shown. But currently in WinForms those are your only two choices. Thanks, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why does my displayed mesh dim when rotating on an LCD TV?

  Hi; I'm currently doing my programming on a 37 inch Sharp Aquos TV. My game is loading a moderately large mesh (64x64 triangles) and displaying it on screen in wire-frame mode. The strange thing is, when I rotate the mesh .....the mesh dims! At a rough guess, it's only 50% of the brightness it's displayed at when not being rotated. Because I run my apps at full speed for performance testing (about 459 FPS currently) at first I suspected that as I had synchronise with vertical retrace turned off, parts of the mesh were not being drawn in intermittent frames, therefore resulting in the overall apparent dimming. But when I set this.isfixedtimestep to true and turned on synchronise with vertical retrace ... the same thing happens! AT 60FPS ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating full-text indexes on a table in a publication

  I have a table that is in a one way transactional publication. I need to create a full-text catalog on this table and have that catalog exist on the subscriber as well. I understand simply creating a FTC for an object in a publication will not cause that FTC to be replicated to the subscribers. I have scripted out the command and tried to use sp_addscriptexec to push it to the subscriber. When I do this, I get the following error: Last 183 characters in 'sqlcmd' output buffer: Changed database context to 'database'. Msg 574, Level 16, State 1, Server SQLSERVER, Line 2 CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG statement cannot be used inside a user transaction. Also, when this script is run directly from the subscriber, it works fine (but since the subscribe ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) There was no channel that could accept the message with action

  I am using the UDP Transport sample from the RTM SDK, with a tiny mod to make it use the same socket for both receive and transmit. I am doing a WS-Discovery test tool for the devices we build.  I have implemented Probe/ProbeMatches as a request/response, and it works fine. Because there is more than one ProbeMatches response possible to the Probe (from different devices), I want to divide my code into a one-way transmitter for the Probe, and a one-way receiver for the ProbeMatches response(s).  When I do this, I keep getting the exception message (in the trace file) "There was no channel that could accept the message with action... followed by the ProbeMatches action (which is http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Performance on large assemblies

  Sandcastle (Dec CTP) takes a long long time to build when given a largish assembly to document. Our project isn't that large (XML file is 19 MB, DLL is 6 MB) (134 494 elements says CopyFromIndexComponent - which generates 36 000 topics) but Sandcastle takes some 10 hours to build using the SHFB tool. We used to use DocumentX and HelpStudio from Innovasys and it would generate the documentation in a bit over 2 hours. Is there any chance that the next CTP will be faster Anand, here is some more information. I noticed slow performance of BuildAssembler when I first tried using the ApplyVSDocModel transform. Notes: I do not use Eric's SHFB, I simply drive Sancastle via batch files. The project is fairly small (2100 topics ...Show All
