• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot get visual studio express to install

  I've tried every troubleshooting tip and every readme file I could find. I am using my laptop running XP home (no network) (W/Cable modem). I've succeded on two other computers 1 w/ XP professional and 1 with XP home. they were both on a LAN at work. The error msg says "there was an error downloading". WHY You can try to do a manual install as listed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/ It sounds as though (for unknown reasons) your cable broadband is causing a problem.

• Visual Studio Team System Running Pre-Build events

  Hi. I'm looking into Team Build and been running into a problem. I have a solution with several projects in it. One of the projects creates 2 files that are needed by my startup project for it to compile. I have a pre-build event set up in my startup project that runs the executable of the other project, so that the files always get created and are always up to date. Since these 2 files are created at run-time, I do not have them under source control (I'm using TFS). The problem is that the project that is dependent on those 2 "run time" files is failing to build through Team Build, with an error that those files cannot be found. It appears that my pre-build event is not being run, so those files are not being generated. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Activate always on top fullscreen window

  Hi! I have a window that is most time hidden (I call Hide()). When I show it, I want to be in fullscreen mode, so I set WindowState = Maximized and TopMost = True. The problem is that the window doesn't get sometimes focus (the previously active application gets the keyboard messages). I tried to call Activate(), but it didn't resolved anything. Is there a certain way to set TopMost, Maximized, and to show a window in order to gain focus Thank you What triggers the showing of this window If is it triggered by a mouse click in the same application, the window should come up as activated and have focus. However, if you are working in some other app, and the first app shows this maximized window, then it wi ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I run .NET V2.0.50727 compiled Visual Basic code on machine with .NET V1.1

  I developed a visual basic utility in Visual Studio 2005, so the utility is based on .NET V2.0. Now we want to transfer this utility to different servers where it will run every 2 hrs. Some of our servers are Windows Servers 2003 which are on .NET framework 1.1. The utility does not run giving error "to run this application, you must install one of the following versions of the .Net framework: v2.0.50727". The delima is installing new .NET framework for this small application production servers, we have to take permissions from management tree, create change notice, schedule for production down time etc..etc. which is not worth it. So, I was just wondering before I scrap this application: 1> Is there anyway to make .N ...Show All

• SQL Server writing back a zero to a writeback table

  Hi I'm having trouble storing a value of 0 in the cube. If i type in any other amount in the meassure and send the data, it will be stored, but if i want to store 0 in a cell it just becomes blank. Any sugestions I got this message from the applix support: "The Data-entry problem is caused by Analysis Services. Entering a '0' in an empty cell does not create a record in the writeback-table because it only stores the difference between the existing and the new value... The only workaround is to enter some data in the empty cell. Save this value and then change it into '0'..." The question is now - where to place the Ape :-) ...Show All
