• Visual Studio Project/Folder structure wromg in VSS

  Ok new to VSS but have been using Visual Studio 2005 pro with no source control since it came out. Don't understand the folder structure when I add solutiions to source control. From developer box A I added 2 projects. First one goes in as Program Manager.root. Under that I have a Program Manger and a Deploy folder, just like on my local drive. Second one goes in as Preventative Maintenace.root. Under that I have a documents and settings folder and a program files folder. Under the docs and settings I have to tunnel down through to get to the actual project structure that matches the local one. It's like it adding the path that my /$ root is set to, but not on every solution I add to VSS. I have tried adding projects from a second develope ...Show All

• Visual C++ "MFC80x.dll was not found" occasionally

  It's strange that sometimes my program in VC++2005 fails to start saying "MFC80d.dll was not found". Recompile the program does not take effect. Maybe after some certain operations, e.g. restart VC++ IDE several times or even restart Windows, the same program just works, just without recompiling it. I don't know what exactly operations may make it work. Even sometimes Spy++ of VS2005 fails to start with the same error "MFC80U.dll was not found". And then if watched in Denpency walker, it shows unable to lead to several VS2005 dlls. But at the same time, if watch AtlTraceTool8.exe in the same dir, the same dll could be found.

• SQL Server Assign Cube User Access Without Being Admin?

  Is it possible to set up a "low-level" administrator account in Analysis Services that only allows a user to assign other users to a particular Role We have an enterprise app where users in the field will need to call a help desk to gain access to the cube, but we only want the help desk people to be able to perform that one function. We would like to avoid building a custom admin tool that provides the proper restriction. Ideally, the help desk would use SQL Server Management Studio to perform this specific task while prohibiting any other admin abilities. Is this possible -- Joe No, unfortunatelly this is not possible. If you already have tool by which helpdesk can assign users to existin ...Show All

  A quick question about localization. After adding <UICulture>en-US</UICulture> tags to my project file, it complains that application.xaml does not belong to the project.

• Audio and Video Development Cinevision

  Hi, someone can help me with the parameters that I need to know to make a good compresion with cinevision I would like to know the "standard" parameters for the diferent codecs. Then, I would like to know what can I do with the materials that I have in a 25Fr per second Digital Betacam. I supouse that I need to transcode the signal to 29,97 720X480NTSC and then capturate with no compression and finally inport to cinevision. Can I have any problem with the continuity of the image if I transcode the signal to 30Fps and then I capturate with 29,97Fps (The transcoder that I use it doesn't works in 29,97, only in 30Fps). Thank you Cinevision is PoS..., imho :) Contact MS and ask Ben Waggoner about PE ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to add non-selectable items into a combobox

  I'm trying to achieve a parent/child layout in a combo box drop down where the parent items are not selectable and the child items are. Colors blue red white In the above example, if the user clicks on the parent item 'Colors' the drop down list will remain open as the item cannot be selected. I know this is possible via MFC by subclassing the listbox control. Is it possible in Windows Forms (C#) Hi, The post discusses how to disable the item in the listbox, hope it helps in some extent. Or you can implement the DropDown event and do not show the item you don't need. ...Show All

• .NET Development GAC references

  I thought there was a way at runtime or development that a web application could use GAC'ed assemblies without referencing them in the web.config or machine.config The GAC is independent of ASP.NET. At runtime when the assembly loader needs to load an assembly it'll use a version from the GAC if it finds it. If not then it uses a pre-defined search order. There is nothing in web.config or machine.config that has to be configured for this. It just works. Are you having a particular problem with the GAC and ASP.NET Michael Taylor - 11/11/06 ...Show All

• SQL Server System.Data.ConstraintException Visual Basic 2005 Express / SQL 2005 Express

  This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there.

• Visual Studio VB.NET 2005 / Sandcastle treatment of <see cref=""/>

  I created identical test projects in C# and VB.NET 2005, and it seems that the two compilers treat <see cref=""/> tags differently. Given this <summary> comment text in the source code: An example comment that references the <see cref="ID"/> and <see cref="Name"/> properties and also some base class library stuff like <see cref="Environment"/> and <see cref="DateTime"/>. The C# compiler produces this text in the XML comment file, which is correctly interpreted by Sandcastle: An example comment that references the <see cref="P:SandcastleTest.Program.ID"/> and <see cref="P:SandcastleTest.Program.Name"/> properties and als ...Show All

• Windows Forms setup/deployment using windows Installer

  Hey all, I think I’m over my head here looking for some direction. I’ve build a program and used Click Once to deploy it,--works find, but now I’ve added some item i.e. ActiveX Controls which have to be register to the user machine. So, as I understand I can no longer use Click Once and need to use Windows Installer. I’m using Visual Studio 2005 which has a setup/deployment Wizard for window installer, the only problem I have know idea what it needs when the screen comes up and say, “Choose file to include.” Does anyone know of a good book or reference material that will help me understand the window installer and what I need to use it I know probably easy, I blame it on my Irish ancestor and 6 month of programming experienc ...Show All
