• Visual C# Intellisense filter?

  Is there anyway to filter intellisense based on events, properties methods In other words, lets say I know i'm looking for a property in an object, I'd like to view only properties and not everything through intellisense... is this possible The Whole Tomato Visual Assist add in supports this behavior, but to be honest it's designed for c++ so it's occasionally wonky with c#, mostly in asp stuff, but it's still wonky. Maybe one of the c# dedicated addins supports this too Cal- ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with GetUTCDate function in stored procedure

  Why does this not work I get the following error when trying to save the stored procedure. "Incorrect syntax near ')'."

• Software Development for Windows Vista A Way to mark an activity to not persist?

  I have an activity which invokes a web service. The web service has a parameter which isn't serializeable, and is throwing an exception when the SqlPersistance trys to unload the runtime. So my question is, is there some property or setting I can set to make the SqlPersistance ignore certain parts of my workflow, since really they don't need to be persisted anyway Thank you very much for the response. After looking into this problem a little more it actually looks like it's not the Sql Persistance which is causing the error. But rather an error with the way that WWF handles web service calls. Though I'm not entirely certain. The Exception is: CallExternalMethodActivity parameter DocumentRoutingV ...Show All

• Visual Studio Does /DEBUG flag in linker affect performance?

  Hi My question is if enabling the /DEBUG flag (Conf Properties->Linker->Debugging->Generate Debug Info) has an impact on performance Wouldn't that be the same as runing the project in DEBUG mode I wonder since I want to profile my application and I'm not sure if I should profile the debug och release version. Is there anyway to get debug information from a release version without using the /DEBUG flag What I want is the *.pdb file. Thanks, Martin Malek Yes, I am aware of that. What I wonder is if the executable will be larger/slower than one built without the database Are any extra symbols added to the exe in order for it to be used with the database Thanks, Martin Malek ...Show All

• SQL Server Use existing shared datasource from a SSRS2000 report server

  Hallo i'm currently working with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and a SSRS 2000. On the report server i have created several shared data sources, which i'd like to reuse "as is" in new reports. Is there any way to "retrieve" a shared data source definition from a report server Or to point to a shared data source directly on the report server thanks Raffaele You can reuse any datasource that you have authorization to view on the report server and permissions to use on the database. I don't usually make shared datasources in the report designer. I deploy them, then I go to the report in report manager and change the datasource on the report to use the shared datasource on the report server. This may or may not ...Show All

• Windows Forms Colour selection and Drawstring in VB Express

  I am using Drawstring to print some stuff on labels. However, it has just become apparent that will will need to be able to let the user select a colour. No problem, the FontDialog does this, just like it does for font and size. I can assign a variable with the color returned by FontDialog but I can't use this variable in Drawstring. It seems you can only specify a specific system colours. I also can't declare a variable of type brush and assign a colour to that unless it's a specified colour. Could someone tell me please how I can use a colour seleted from FontDialog without 10 screens of Select Case statements Thanks, Rich Thanks Nobubz, If I want to store this in a database, w ...Show All
