• Visual Studio Express Editions limited user accounts - debugging in

  Hi, I have been using VS C++ Express since March 2006 under my admin account. Recently I have created a limited user account. However I cannot debug or make changes to any solutions or projects that work fine under my admin account. All my projects are stand-alone window console programs are simply numerical algorithms for estimation and simulation. I can run each solution without problems under my limited user account. However, any changes made leads to the following error message once I try to recompile Error 1 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'uuid.lib' hop_bm I have registered my limited user VS C++ express when promtped upon opening for the 1st time.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registering Express Products with CD images ?

  Hi there, I haven't read any answers about registering the CD Versions. Iif I click the register button in help (Visual C++ 2005 Express) I'll get forwarded to connect.microsoft.com/downloads/downloads.aspx SiteID=40 . Now I want to know if I register other Express Editions (like Visual Basic 2005 Express), if I would get the same Stuff (connect.microsoft.com/downloads/downloads.aspx SiteID=40) or if I would get other Stuff. Is it enough to just register VC++ Express 2005 to get access to all Benefits for registering an Express product Edit: Ok, I have to install all Editions, if I am not wrong and haven't misread anything on the site ^^. Now I want to know if I could install the other Express Editions on a Virtual Machine to get the Bene ...Show All

• .NET Development Client-side redirect problem

  If I unplug my primary server from the network, the client side redirect fails to work. I have the connection string “Data Source=primaryserver;Failover Partner=backupserver;….”. If the data source machine is not present on the network I get the error “An error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005….”. It seems to work fine as long as the machine is connected to the network (e.g. if the SQL Server service is shut down and I have failed over onto the backup server). Any ideas Hi Will, Did you ever have any luck with this I seem to be having a similar problem. I connect to my primary database and then start writing transactions every s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching strategy for multiple projects

  I have been working on a new folder structure and branching strategy, and I have done quite a bit of research over the last few days. As a result of my research and my own experiences, I am a big advocate of the trunk/branches/tags methodology: $/Project $/Project/trunk $/Project/branches $/Project/tags All of the new development is performed on the trunk. When we get close to a release, a branch is created for the release (ex: 1.0_Branch). Stabalization is performed on the 1.0_Branch and eventually the final release is built from this branch. At that point, a "tag" is created. A tag is just like a branch except that it has no future. In other words, it's just a branch that nobody has permission to edit. All maintenance is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Release / Debug Dorp Down Configuration menu missing

  I have the VS.NEt 2005 Standart. It used to be that the Release / Debug Configuration drop down menu was available on the toolbar. I recently had to reinstall the VS.NET and it's gone. I can no longer compile the application (in my case ASp.NET website) into Release mode. Any idea how I can put it back in the VS.NET Aha, thank you very much. The Customize menu, I had no idea what that was for. Nowhere does it say that it is a drag-n-drop repository! I accidentally made my debug/release picklist disappear, couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks for the info, Rich! ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Audio/Video Mixing (need some hints)

  Hi, i'm coding an app with the objective to merge 2 audio/video streams into a single file. the resulting file (.mpeg) will have left audio channel from the 1st video and right audio channel from the 2nd video (so if input audio is stereo conversion to mono is needed) the video instead can be described as 2 separate adiacent windows.

• Visual Studio Team System Merging caused the history lost, how to get it back?

  Although TFPT /followbranches can show all history, it's not applied to the merging command. If I did merge from a branch, say B, to the branch A, in A's history, I only saw a changeset "merged from B...". Sadly, I couldn't see all history occured in branch B. Is there some way or programmatic approach to get the history back Thx. Hello, the only way (I'm aware of) is to use SourceControl.QueryMergesWithDetails call, which was added in SP1.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Calculate Emailaddress from multiple textboxes.

  Hi, I'm totally new to programming in VB but you have to start somewhere! It's so cool! What I'm trying to archieve for now is creating an emailaddress based on various input textboxes: FirstName, MiddleName, LastName. The emailaddress should be calculated like this: <1st letter of FirstName>.<MiddleName>.<LastName>@company.com If a user has no MiddleName there shouldn't be an extra dot! The EmailAddress textbox should be generated as you type the FirstName, MiddleName and LastName textboxes. I'm also looking for some tips for input validation. It should only be possible to use alphabetical characters. An additional Initials textbox should only use alphabetical characters and dots e.g. T.K.B. All help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and Enterprise Architect 6.1

  I’m using TFS and Enterprise Architect 6.1 I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider Version 1.1 I opened up my EA project and configured the source control to use TFS. It found the server and prompted me to choose a folder to place the EA project under. I did so and everything worked fine. I then deleted the EA project from my local machine/folder and removed the folders from source control and repeated the process. However, this time when I choose TFS as the SCC provider and then clicked Save, I selected the server but I did not get a chance to choose a source control folder for my EA project. It just automatically filled in the project folder from the last time. When I c ...Show All
