• Visual C# How to use AddEventHandler?

  Hi I am trying to use reflection to bind the same event handler to different events. I can't figure out why I can bind the eventhandler with += but not with reflection AddEventHandler - see the example below. Does anyone have a clue as to what am doing wrong Rgds Bertrand class form1 : form { public void myEventHandler( object o, EventArgs e) { /*...*/ } public void button1_click(...) { /* The following works: */ this.FormClosing += myEventHandler; /* Why does the following not work */ Type objectType = Type .GetType( "myNameSpace.Form1" ); EventInfo objectEventInfo = objectType.GetEvent( "FormClosing" ); Type objectEventHandlerType = objectEventInfo.EventH ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why does compiling with Unicode cause buttons to look different than with Multibyte or none??

  I want my application that was build with Visual Studio 6.0 to look the way it does when I compile with the Unicode Project Property option using Visual Studio .net 2005. But, if I compile with the Unicode option, I have to change the way I use strings throughout my application. Is there some way to get the newer visual effect (ie. buttons with rounded corners, radio buttons change with mouse-over) without having to make extensive code changes Unicode doesn't have anything to do with visual styles. Make sure you have the following before you show your first form: // Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created Application::EnableVisualStyles(); Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault( fa ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ won't run from source control: "The system cannot execute the specified program"

  Hi, I've installed VS 2005 C++ Express into source control and it won't work. I've wasted the better part of a day so far trying to get it to work. The error message I get when trying to run something as simple as lib.exe is: "The system cannot execute the specified program." When I load up the .exe in the dependency walker (depends.exe), it says: Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "y:\compilers\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\LIB.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001) .

• .NET Development attached mdf Vs 'regular' SQL

  Hi I just spent most of 2 days attempting to write to a simple table in an attached mdf file, using VB.NET 2005 on a Win3kR2 server going against SQL'05. The code would perform just fine, even throwing exceptions, when I broke validations, but no data was saved in the database. The same happend when I tried to use an attached SQL CE 3.1 database. When I changed the connection to a 'regular' SQL database, the exact same code worked, just like before, and the data was written out as well. What (*&*(* is the cause David L. Hi, It's probably not that the code does not save in the database files, but rather that VS overwrites the db files at every compile. In the solution explorer, ...Show All

• SQL Server degenerate dimension and partitioning

  I needed to provide drill down to some granular attributes, so I setup a degenerate dimension with several attributes like serial_number, etc. Doing so has somewhat understandably caused my processing time to increase from 2 minutes to 45 minutes for my sample set of data. To handle this increased processing time, I'm attempting to use partitioning. Now, the trouble I'm running into is how do I process the degenerate dimension in step with the partitions. I am getting errors from the process that boil down to fact_key does not exist in the degenerate dimension so the fact can not be joined to the fact dimension table. How do I process a degenerate dimension in step with my partitions. Does that make sense Keehan The same qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System with other platforms like Flash or VB6

  Hi, I have many projects in different languages and I would like to know if I can use VSTS as a management tool, assign tasks, follow bugs, etc if the main product is not build under Visual Studio .NET (for example VB6). Any ideas or suggestions Is it worth to use it or will be too heavy Thanks Ariel Ariel, The short answer is "Yes". You can install and use Team Explorer with or without having the VS.Net IDE installed. The functionality offered by TFS will work for you. You can also integrate the version control features of TFS into the VB6 IDE and any other IDE that supports the MSSCCI provider model. As to your question about it being "too heavy", that is dependent on ...Show All

• Visual C# How to raise an event

  I have two forms form1 and form2, when i click a button in form2 I want form1 to do something only if a button in form2 is clicked....How do i set up basics for an event to take place in this manner any help... No event is needed in what you are trying to achieve. Create some public property or function on the form which has to work. On the other form's constructor, pass the reference of first form so it can call that function or property. Handle the Click event of the button on this form and call the othe form's function like this: mainForm.DoWork(); Cheers ;-) ...Show All

• Visual Studio javascript intellisense on standalone *.js file

  How can I get Intellisense to work in Visual Studio 2005 on a standalone *.js file (i.e. not contained within a <script> tag inside an .html file). I simply need basic intellisense for things like document. and window. (for example) but I can't seem to find whatever the extension is required to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Freddy I was afraid of that. What does MS say about this I mean, it's such an obvious one (esp. now in light of all the attention that's being lavished on JSand Ajax!).

• Visual Studio Team System BUG: user with dynamic username re-created on incremental updates

  I have a user, which's Name is dynamic (ie create user [$(ServiceOwner) WITHOUT LOGIN...) as a managed schema-object. This user is referenced to in other managed schema-objects (like a RSB and also in the CREATE SERVICE statement). Upon first build-up of the DB, everything is ok, but any following builds cause errors that the user already exists. the DBPROJ seems to not detect the already existing user on the target database. I moved the CREATE USER script to post-deploy, but now I cannot build anymore because of the other dependant schema objects... any ideas I am using the RTM version from MSDN. Another anomaly I am encountering regards this is that VS creates a login with exactly the name of the username-variable in ...Show All
