• Visual Studio Express Editions Reinstall help files?

  I recently installed two additions to VSC#2005EE: 1) The Service Pack 1 2) The .NET 3.0 (aka WPF), which created some new templates I'm not certain which one was responsible, but one of these two deleted most of my help files by way of 'merging' them. Since I'm offline more than I'm on, and I loved my original local store of help files, is there any way to get them back short of complete removal & reinstall (No, I don't want to change to online help. I need to be able to access it wherever I have the laptop at that given time/day. I've tried specifying 'local help first', but most of the index and content is just gone.) Okay, how would I go about that As far as I know, I never directly installed the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How do I validate a textBox ?

  If I attach a validating method to a textbox like the example code below, when is it called After losing focus from the textbox It doesn't seem to work. In the Compact Framework there is no ErrorProvider control what is the correct way to display validation errors Certainly not a MessageBox like I did... Thanks private void textBoxNumericCode_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtbNumericCode.Text)) { MessageBox.Show("Numeric Code is mandatory!"); } else if (!Regex.IsMatch(textBoxNumericCode.Text, @"[0-9]+")) { MessageBox.Show("Please input a numeric value!"); } } ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Major Modifications of Task.xml cause project creation failure. (process template is uploaded without errors)

  I am beginning to think that there are limits to the extent that the task.xml WORKITEM can be modified; I am guessing the problem resides in the generic tasks that TFS places in your "todo" list at the creation of your project. There seems to be no way to turn off the creation of these assignments when you create your project. My experience is that I can modify Task quite a bit; but as soon as I make too many modifications to the <TRANSITIONS> I will get an Exception (see below). I can even cut and paste from "Bug.xml" all my states and transitions that work just fine in Bug, but fail when imported into Task.xml. Additionally I have found that if I try to make my own field (MPRI.Common.EstimatedHours) requi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I get results from string formatted formula?

  How can I get results from string formatted formula EX)Dim ExampleFormula as string = "((6/2)*5)+2-3+1" Then how can I get results from that string formatted formula I've tried it manually by referencing Java Stack Calculator source, but it was much harder than what I'd thought. Is there any easier way to get it done (such like data parsing) or better example source based on VB Express Sorry for my bad english. It's because I'm not native english talker. Well, I'm afraid to say that you actually misunderstood my question. The question is : Getting a numeric result from a string. I'm not looking for how to convert formula into string format. Actually, I'm looking for how to let computer ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Scorecard & Sharepoint

  Can anyone help!!!! After deploying scorecards to sharepoint, most users when trying to view the scorecard webpart get the following error: Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Web Part Page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered on this site as safe. In fact the only users to be able to view the scorecards are the two accounts used in the creation of the scorecard - almost everyone else gets the above message. To make this problem even more confusing some of the users can view the scorecard. After reviewing two users with the same domain & sharepoint rights one of which can view them the other can't - absolutely no consistancy - so making this a dam hard issue to figure out.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Parameters property of the HandleExternalEvents activity - what's the point?

  I've been going through some of the Hands On labs for Workflow. Several times, I've had to put a HandleExternalEvents activity in my workflow, and then set the InterfaceType and EventName properties. After I do this, there's a section of Parameters properties that correspond to the arguments of the function I have handling the event, and I've been instructed to bind these to new members in a workflow, and then in the event handler, reference the new members instead of the arguments to the handler function. Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I follow directions, but when I step through the code while debugging, I notice that the member that I bound the parameter to has a different value than the argument to the event handler, which I ...Show All

• SQL Server Displaying Multi parameter info : Report builder

• SQL Server Populating with dimension hierarchies

  Hi, I I want to populate the drop-down-list in a VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time! Can you please help in implementing this Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Best wishes!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Recalculate an Array?

  OK – I have any array that holds calculated values that are derived from user inputs (textboxes). Each time the user changes one of the text boxes I clear the array list and then fill it back up with the calculations from the new user inputs. The results are then placed in a grid. Here is the question – Is there a way to recalculate the array without clearing then rebuilding it Is there a better way to do this whole procedure (- like in an excel spreadsheet when you change one cell the others that are related change too) you can use say, an Arraylist to store your values, then you can go through each element in the array and once you find the element you want, just change the value. I guess this can a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Could I use SqlMetal.Exe with C# 2.0

  Is there any possibility that i can use SqlMetal.Exe (produce DAL) and C# 2.0 (it uses output classes of SQLMetal.exe) And extra question : Is it safe to install C # 3.0 to Production Server (not development server)  I will develop LINQ ASP.NEt project on my own computer than i will publish it to Production Server (it includes ASp.NET 2.0 projects) .. I agree with Dinesh's response that LINQ is not quite ready for production use. There is no go-live license at this point. It is only for tech review so far. That being said, it MAY be possible to use LINQ to SQL and publish the compiled application to a ASP.Net 2.0 server. Since most of the LINQ work is done with compiler ...Show All

  I'm trying to build shadow volumes in XNA. I've done this in DirectX and it's pretty straight forward, but I need adjacencies to help me out.

• SQL Server Reporting Services - credentials error.

  Hi everyone. I have created a report in RS and it works fine (am invoking from VB.Net - windows forms). However, I have copied the report into a new one as I need a very similar looking report to be called from the same application, but if I attempt to invoke it in the same way as the first I get the following error: "An attempt was made to set credentials for a data source '<name>' associated with thre report.
