• Visual Studio Team System Team Project Creation Failed

• Visual Studio Visual Studio hangs until I move the mouse

  After the excruciating 90 minute Service Pack 1 install (longer than Visual Studio itself), I still have mouse-powered debugging. That is, Visual Studio hangs completely when I debug a project, until I move the mouse. While the mouse is in motion, the status bar at the bottom of the window shows the DLLs it's loading, but as soon as I stop moving the mouse it stops. If I set focus on a different window it finishes loading normally. Other developers on my team face this same problem, and we've all seen it in different projects. Has anyone found a fix for this We've never seen this behavior in SP1 testing. It would appear that you are doing ASP.NET debugging (since you said you're waiting for IE to launc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Opening A File

  I created a new project with a form and some buttons. Now I try to open it but there are like 10 different files. Which one do I click to open it. I have been trying for an hour to save a project and open it but opening it doesnt work How do I open it OK form1.vb and form1.designer.vb are the actual form Windows Application 1 - i would assume is the project - you need to look at the file type or provide the file extension to be absolutely sure. Obj / bin and My Project are folders and you do not need to be concerned with these.   Out of these the file you need to open is the project - and this is in all likelyhood the windows applications 1 file.  Open this - go to the solution ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting SSIS running on Web Server

  I need to be able to run SSIS packages form an asp.net (win 2k3) web server. Wrox has a book out "Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" where they call the dtsx package directly using the following vb.net snipette: Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.DtsClient Dim ssisConn As New DtsConnection ssisConn.ConnectionString = String.Format("-f ""{0}""", strMyFilePath) ssisConn.Open() As you would expect this works great on a workstation that has BIDS installed on it but does not work on a web server where sql client tools are not installed.

• Visual C++ Calling MS Access VBA code

  I would like my C++/CLI (vs2005) app to invoke a couple of functions on a MS Access 97 database. These functions are implemented in VBA. Is it possible If so, please provide me with starting points and links. If not, what are my options If you have a question about the VC language, then this is the place to ask it. The VC language alone however has no capability for accessing an Access database; you must use libraries that VS does not provide. Therefore you need to ask in another forum or in an appropriate newsgroup. I can suggest however that you look at the command-line options for Access. I don't know if there is an option for executing macros but if so then that might help. Otherwise, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. complete newb to XNA

  The only thing I am good at designing games right now is just putting good ideas down on paper and expanding on them. Their in lies my problem, I want to put my ideas to work and develop the game ideas I have and see if they would really work or if other people would really like them. So in very simple ways what are the best ways to learn how to use XNA, especially video tutorials since I am a visual learner. First thing you must learn is... the forum search function.
