• SQL Server Sql Express SP2 and Visual Studio 2005

  Will the SQL Express SP2 update the Installer package that comes with Visual Studio 2005 so that SQL Express SP2 is included with a ClickOnce or MSI based installer Including SP2 on Windows Update is a step in the right direction, but I (and I assume others) really hate the idea of burdening our users with the additional step of obtaining the SP2 update immediately after installing our application. This is especially cumbersome if they are using dial-up Internet connections which, unfortunately, many of our customers continue to use. Thanks, Travis No it won't, but I will be releasing a SQL Express SP2 Bootstrapper that you will be able to use with VS 2005. I expect this to be available within a cou ...Show All

• Visual Basic FileNotFoundException error with pictures

  I a seem to be having a simple problem. In VB6 I had no problems loading pictures. when I converted the program to VB2005, it modified the code to frmDetails.Elm_Pict.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile( "Pictures\h.jpg" ) which is giving me a FileNotFoundException error but the path is correct ! I would greatly appriciate any advice how to fix this simple error! Thanks, Campsoup1988 Sorry I didn't mean to suggest you couldn't use relative paths, you can certainly. The key is understanding where that exe is actually running from and making sure the image is in the correct path. If you're debugging the project it will be under the Build Output P ath which is found under the project proper ...Show All

• SQL Server insufficient system memory

  Just wondering if anyone else has seen any memory issues with cross instance communication. Just this last week we moved from single instance to cross instance communication. I started up a process that will move 3,000,000 messages through service broker, but after a couple of hours the server tanks out and we get insufficient system memory errors in the sql error log. If no one else has seen or experienced this then I'll probably get a ticket opened to see what it may be. It's just that the change in our service broker network was the only change I was aware of on this instance. Regards. Can you confirm that is SSB who consumes the memory Run this query to see where the memory goes: select ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why is base class destructor unresolved in Release mode (VS2005)

  Abstract base class, Foo, exists in library F Derived class (from Foo), Bar, exists in library B Module M uses Bar (but never Foo directly). Linking M to B satisfies all external references in Debug mode. In Release mode, however, linking of M complains that the reference to Foo’s destructor is unresolved. This seems inconvenient. It is caused by optimization because if you disable the optimization on M, there is no link problem. Can this behavior be justified Does anyone understand what sort of optimization is happening that causes this behavior Is there a way around this other than either disabling optimization or linking M to F (also setting M’s C++ Properties/Optimization/Whole Program Optimizat ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to debug a web method of a WCF service hosted in a windows service?

  Hello everybody I am hosting a WCF web service within a managed windows service. Now I'd like to debug some of my web service methods. But how can I achieve this I attached my hosting process (-> the windows service) to VS2005. This works so far - the debugger breaks for example in the stop method of the windows service. But when I call a web method from a 2nd VS2005 instance, which runs the webservice client application, the debugger does not stop within the web method - even Debugger.Launch() has no effect. What am I doing wrong Does the windows service starts a seperate process, when starting the web service Do I have to attach Visual Studio to another process than the hosting process Best wishes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can "Show Project Portal" be redirected to another URL?

  I'm currently on-site with the second customer who has asked me this, so I'm asking the community: Is there a way to force the "Show Project Portal" right click menu to redirect to another URL This particular customer already has extensive Sharepoint portals in place for many of the projects they'll (hopefully) be importing into Team System. We'd like the "Show Project Portal" menu to redirect them to the existing Sharepoint site instead of the new, empty Sharepoint portal Team System creates.

• Visual Studio Team System automatic bug creation

  I am currently running tests in Team suite edition for testers. Upon a test failure, is there any way to automatically generate a bug in TFS as opposed to right clicking the failed test and generating the bug that way Thanx Hello, We currently do not support that option. Tests can fail by several reasons, and sometimes it could be that something weird or external happened and made the test fail. If this was the case, then Visual Studio would automatically open many bugs for you, and they may not even be bugs. This was one of the causes that lead us not to go for the automatically-generated bugs feature. We do appreciate your feedback and will consider adding a switch to enable that in future ver ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MAP loader problems with index buffer and backfaces

  Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums.   I have been using XNA for quite a while now and I find it quite enjoyable to work with.   For the past few days I have been working on a MAP loader for half-life maps. I wrote code to process the map file, build entity lists, process the properties and build the brush vertices from the plane intersections.   Everything was going great until the point where I needed to turn my vertices into mesh data.   My plan was to build a vertex buffer and index buffer per brush, however this has caused many problems with faces not rendering correctly (I believe it is because some of my polygons may have the wrong winding, and if anyone knows of a way to fix ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making a static library to work across different solutions
