• Windows Forms Updating project without changing DB

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question but this is my first project with VB (VS 2005 Express Edition). The application uses SQL Server 2005 Express. Soon, I will be in a position to take a large amount of data from the end user of the project and put it into the database then deploy the application to his machine. This will be a long process as there is some data in spreadsheets and lots of data on the backs of envelopes etc! At this point he will begin to use the application and add/modify data on a regular basis. However, after a few weeks, he will return to me and say "Can you change this part There's a bug in that part etc." How can I then update the application and re-install it on his machine and mai ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't Download Anything from Microsoft

• Architecture Web farm architecture

  I want to design a web farm with three web servers. Can I use Application Center to do that If yes, is there any reference design diagram If no, any other suggestion pyeung wrote: I think deployment issue is yet to be solved before I can recommend it to my boss without using Application Center. Suppose a developer is using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP, how can he detached a node from the cluster, deploy the application and add the node back to cluster. Any reference materials You certainly need to solve the deployment problem, but that depends a lot about your architecture and needs, so it's hard to say exactly what the answer will be; but it is certainly doable. That said, you probably don't want your developers dire ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Possible bug? - Textures and Source Areas

  Hi, I've been experimenting and trying to draw a 2D texture (using a sprite batch) to the screen. Now I've specified a source rectangle for the texture - which is at (x, y) and of width & height 1x1. So essentially a single pixel from the source texture, which is RGBA (0, 0, 0, 255) i.e. solid black. When I render this and specify a destination rectangle, what's rendered seems to take into account the pixels either side of the source rectangle - which are RGBA (0, 0, 0, 0) i.e. transparent black. Now this seems to me slightly illogical or at the least counterintuitive - that pixels *outside* the source rectangle should affect what's being drawn! Well, if someone could explain this to me I'd appreciate it very much, or perhaps confir ...Show All

• Visual Studio documentation bug

  The MSDN docs say: ProjectFile Builds the specified targets in the project file. If a project file is not specified, MSBuild searches the current working directory for a file name extension that ends in "proj" and uses that file. This argument also accepts Visual Studio 2005 solution files. However, if there is both a .proj and a .sln file in the directory, it wants a project filename passed. Either the docs or the msbuild.exe program is wrong. thanks - dave Well I navigated all the links to the form, entered every field except the last (lots of fields) and then it kicked me out. So sorry, but I'm not trying that again. thanks - dave ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I create an empty XmlElementString with XmlWriter

  I am trying to dump out a collection of values from an editor I am writing. There are some elements that I need to write out, even though they are empty. Whenever I try something like... writer.WriteElementString( "variable" , "" ); or writer.WriteElementString( "variable" , string .Empty); I get <variable /> instead of <variable></variable> I tried a WriteStartElement("variable") followed by a WriteEndElement but that gave me... <variable> </variable> Does the line separation make any difference to having it all on one line i can see you already have that in the code and it should work tw.WriteStartElement( "variable", String.EMpty ); ...Show All

• Visual Studio The report definition for report 'xxx' has not been specified

  Hello, I have to confess that I never did anything with reporting services, reports, or whatsoever. For a rather huge database application (based on sql express) I thought it might be best to do the printing with local reports, which I planed to bind to the objects, I already used as data layer in my project. I created a simple report (just a table, with two fields), bound the report to the ReportViewer-Control, set the bindingsource-properties in form load. But the only thing I see is this error message "The report definition for report 'xxx' has not been specified" So: What *is* a report definition and how *do* I specify it Are there any infos I can get somewhere, to learn more about the whole concept Thanks, Klaus ...Show All

• Visual C++ Managed vs Unmanaged C++

  How do you tell if a code is managed or unmanaged C++ And if you are looking at source code and want to know if it was intended to be compiled under /CLR, the three main giveaways that I can think of are: 1. The presence of using namespace System; (or other namespaces scoped within System ) at the top of the source file. 2. The use of ref class instead of just class , making the class managed. 3. The occurances of the character ^ on types, which are managed references. e.g. String^ myString; ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListViewItem w/Context Menu

  I hope this isnt a dumb question, but I'm hoping someone can help me understand the expected behavior of right-click in a ListView. Here is the problem: If you have a context menu on a ListView in Multiple or Extended selection mode a right click to bring up the context menu will toggle the selection. I have mocked up a small repro using the ListViewCheckBox example in the SDK. I've inlcuded the modified XAML and the unchanged codebehind. All I did was add a contextmenu to the listviewitem. How to repro: 1. Select Multiple items 2. Right click on a selected item to bring up the context menu. This action will toggle the selection to unselected. The item is no longer viewable in your collection. Based on my observations the WP ...Show All
