• Visual Studio Compile Error on machine without VS.NET 2005 installed

  Hi! We're getting the following error when compiling a simple web project using msbuild on a machine that has the .NET 2.0 framework on it but not Visual Studio.NET 2005 (machine 1). Running the build on a machine that has both the .NET 2.0 Framework and Visual Studio.NET 2005 works just fine (machine 2). We're wondering what might be different between them other than VS.NET 2005 being installed on machine 2. Does anyone happen to know if the full version of Visual Studio.NET 2005 needed to use msbuild when compiling web projects Other projects (i.e. Class Libraries) compile just fine one both machines 1 and 2. Target Build: Target http://localhost/ : C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler.exe -v ...Show All

• Visual C++ MsiProcessMessage

  I’m trying to execute MsiProcessMessage in a visual c++ 6 custom action as in examples from msdn: MsiProcessMessage(hInstall, INSTALLMESSAGE(INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR|MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE|MB_ICONWARNING), hRecord); I’m getting this error: error C2664: 'MsiProcessMessage' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'enum tagINSTALLMESSAGE' to 'enum tagMSIMESSAGE' Conversion to enumeration type requires an explicit cast (static_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast) Error executing cl.exe. The code will compile if I use MSIMESSAGE instead of INSTALLMESSAGE but in that case no messagebox is displayed. Any ideas It seems the declaration (and probably the features) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Weird image loading/saving dpi-related problem

  Hello,   I am trying to generate thumbnails from files located in certain folder and save those thumbnails into other folder as jpegs. Everything works nicely and rather fast, but I bumped into one strange issue.   Most of my jpegs have internally set DpiX=DpiY=96 - and these behave nicely.   Problem is that some images have DpiX=DpiY=144 (or some other values). PixelWidth and PixelHeight are correct in all these images, but Width and Height properties are not - they are taking into account dpi values.   Getting thumbnails of these images is not an issue - I am using DecodePixelWidth or DecodePixesHeight on BitmapImage object to get them and it works very well. Unfortunately, when ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) .NET classes from EDM schema and entity relationships

  Does the generation of .NET classes from EDM schema and entity relationships uses the actual relational database Also when you create EDM schema and entity sets and relationships, does the database really has to exist Yes, we have plans for upcoming releases. The entity mapping tool (internal prototype I mentioned in another thread ) has a schema translation feature that allows generating a relational schema (.ssdl file) from an EDM schema (.csdl file) and exporting SQL DDL to create the necessary tables in the database. It supports 3 standard inheritance mapping strategies (TPH, TPC, TPT). Again, the release schedule and feature scope are pending. - Sergey ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) bitmapeffect bug?

  Hi all, I tried to implement a draggable canvas that can be rotate and translate (rotate and traslate transformations) into a big canvas. If I apply some bitmapEffect to the draggable canvas its visible area changes depending by the orientation and the position. It seems the problem is the rotateTransform with the effect. It run perfectly without bitmapEffect. any comment Daniel, 1. Can you confirm if you are seeing the same behavior with Emboss / Bevel BitmapEffect 2. Can you share more info around the scenario It will really help. Regards Rahul Patil [MSFT] ...Show All

• .NET Development Controlling values from a Combo box

  Hello, I am very green at this and I'm hoping for a bit of help. I've created a very basic program that creates some html code based on what a user enters. One of the fields they complete is "DIVISION" (I've called the combo txtDivision). There are four pre-defined selections - but you have the ability to enter in others. The combo simply displays the company division. I also have four company logos, one for each division. "FGSig.gif", "FSSig.gif", "FGSig.gif" and "FHSig.gif". If the user enters their own division, or leave division blank, "FGSig.gif" should be used. I have declared the logo as image and the company sub division as division Each logo is located on a web server. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Generating Grid With Loops

  I'm trying to create a grid for my program, but I can't get it to work. Right now it just draws real long lines instead of a nice grid. I understand the buffers, but I feel like I'm calculating either the vertices or indices incorrectly. Any ideas int numVerts = (size * 2) * (size * 2); int numVertsRoot = (size * 2); verts = new VertexPositionColor[numVerts]; int numIndices = numVerts * 2; indices = new short[numIndices]; int index = 0; for (int i = 0; i < numVertsRoot; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < numVertsRoot; j++) { verts[i * numVertsRoot + j] = new VertexPositionColor( new Vector3(i - size, 0, j - size), Colo ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView 2.0

  Hi all, I've got a DataGridView 2.0 control used in my application to display the contents of a dataset - this view is populated manually (using the dataset). At the point the contents of the data grid is drawn on screen it is possible to see the grid draw each row at a time. Also, whenever a control is placed over the top of the control and moved it is possible to see the area of the control that is invalidated redraw (again, row by row). Is there a way to prevent this behaivour As it appears to be performing poorly and this is something that I'd like to rectify - its annoying. I'd appreciate it if anyone would point my in the right direction towards finding a solution to this problem. Is there a property that I forgot to set ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista MSDN Online doesn't return Platform SDK documentation anymore

  I've grown quite accustomed to using the search function on MSDN to get my platform SDK / Win32 answers. However, lately, it seems that all I get are .NET hits, and no PSDK documentation anymore. And if I go to the search page on live.com, and search for something like "site:msdn.microsoft.com psdk enumerate registry keys" I get only two hits, neither of which is Platform SDK documentation. The Platform SDK documentation is BROWSABLE online, but SEARCHING doesn't seem to work. And when you're looking for some specific bit of information you vaguely remember from before, searching is what you do, not browsing. I understand that managed languages and the .NET framework is all the rage, but there are many developers who are still de ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Exposing Workflow as WebService (Methodname?, Namespace?, WebServiceName?)

  We want to expose a workflow as a webservice. Using default settings it works fine, but we want to be able to change the namespace, the methodname and the webservicename, ultimatively to be able to have multiple workflows called by different methods by one webservice. Further information: We want to have one ListenActivity and multiple (>3) methods, but only exposed within one webservice instead of multiple seperate webservices... Documentation nor dev env really helps us here...
