• .NET Development "Cannot connet to remote server"

  Hello, I am facing a bizarre problem when connection a client application to a server. I am developing a client application which connects to a server, instantiates a remote object (singleton) and makes queries to the server via the remote object. The remote object has a method which instantitates another remote object on the server side (factory remote object using interfaces). The client can successfully instantiate the remote object (using interface), because it can call a method of remote object to instantiate another remote object on the server side. However, as soon as the client uses the second instantiatied remote object (to call its methods), then an exception gets thrown stating that client cannot connect to the remote server.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot start the COM manager of the app

  We are trying our VB6 application under Vista and we are stuck with the following error. The application launches another executable, and at this point an error message pops up: "Cannot start the COM manager of the app The application will terminate!" We can click ok on the message and everything works.

• Windows Forms negative value of custom control property: strange behavior in designer

  I have a custom control which contains a custom version of the ProgressBar. This control accepts double minimum and maximum values which define the range of the custom ProgressBar. If I set, for example, a min val of -10 the Progressbar is correctly drawn and the code runs without problem. Then, if I reload the designer, the min value is changed to 10 (positive) in the designer window, but in the code it is still -10. If then I build and run the project it behaves correctly. Then, if I modify something in the designer window forcing to reload the form code, min value is set to 10, according to the value in the designer window. Why does this happen Is it a parsing problem "Property accessors" are ...Show All

• SQL Server import MDF and LDF backup from SQL2000 to SQL2005

  hi, i have six files ( 3 MDF and 3 LDF) from a backup of a MS SQL 2000 server. I installed MS SQL 2005 and wanted to Restore these Dataset. but they cant be accessed. doesnt SQL 2005 support these files How can i use these files to access them with SQL 2005 Thx, Hello - The files you're talking about are the "raw" data files that SQL Server uses, not a backup. When you take a backup from within SQL Server, files are acutally packaged a little differently, into a .bak file. When you use the BACKUP DATABASE command in SQL Server, it will create these files for you, which inlcude all of the "raw" files. You can then use the RESTORE DATABASE command to restore ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Q about Incremental Build

  Hi, I configured my Team Build to make Incremental Build There is a way to get all the files/Changesets that changed since the last get operation (Incremental Build use an incremental Get operation – ForceGet is set to be False) Help will be much appreciated, Shmulik Hi Aaron, from my experience just setting those properties will not be enough. Eventually somebody will delete or move a directory in your source control. The next get on the build server will try to delete this directory. If this directory contains a visual studio project that has been build, the directory will then contain temporary files and directories (e.g. "obj\debug"). tf get will return a n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle - Please consider allowing richer formatting in documentation

  Hi there, I've seen the developers behind Sandcastle seem to be very active here so I thought I may make a request - something I'm sure is wanted by others (albeit perhaps indirectly). My employer is considering enforcing a set format for comments for each class with this  information. Class Name (covered implicitly by Sandcastle) Description (covered by <summary>) Date Created Authors (possibly list) Revision Table with these headings Date of change Issue reference number Developer whom made change Reviewer of change Summary sentence of change made I've argued for the fact that these things should be covered by the source repository - and they've agreed but want this stuff at the top of class headers too - as we are curre ...Show All
