• Visual Studio Released.

  We did code complete of documentation compiler ( code named "Sandcastle") on June 15th and currently we are testing the tool building our .NetFramework documentation.

Please expect the CTP in the next week or so and I will provide an update here as soon I post the CTP. Anand..

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need to know if uploading with VB Express app is possible.

  Hi I have a copy of Visual Basic Express 2005 and I am currently writing an application that has to upload images to my domain into a specified folder. The problem is that everything I have been reading a researching on this hasnt helped me. I have used "My.Computer.Network.UploadFile" and have also tried the "System.Web.UI.WebControls.FileUpload.SaveAs" and both dont seem to want to work. the latter simply tells me that UI is not a member of System.Web The first one seems to work on pretty much all the methods such as "ping,IsAvailable" etc, but doesnt seem to work for uploading or downloading. My file paths are correct, the server is up and running and I am connected to the internet when I run the debug ...Show All

• Visual Studio How adequate-rich or suffitient-complete the DSL?

  I want to develop Relational model or Data base - showing tables, connections, attributes, but also -type of attributes, their length, connection between tables - by attributes. So - how I can resolve desires to show more rich look then just table-attribute ____ Or for object model- how to show methods and objects separately or with some icon Or not with icon - by how can I show many different things or hierarchical things on attributes set One of the nice things about the DSL Toolset is its flexibility. For example, suppose you start with the Class Diagrams template. At first, each class is represented as a box, and each attribute and operation is represented as a line item within the box, in the ...Show All

• SQL Server Cast from string to date

  I created an SSIS package that pulls in legacy data from a DB2 AS400. There is an In Date field that is stored on the AS400 as OdbcType.Date or DATE. However, when I use SSIS to pull in the data, SQL wants it to be a string so I gave up and let SQL have it's way. Now in my SELECT statement, I have this: SELECT TLMST.TLNUMBER, TLMST.DOGNAM, BRDMST.BRDesc, TLMST.INDT FROM TLMST INNER JOIN BRDMST ON TLMST.BRDCOD = BRDMST.BreedNumber WHERE (TLMST.INDT >= @startdate) AND (TLMST.INDT <= @enddate) ORDER BY TLMST.INDT, TLMST.TLNUMBER Because I see the dates stored in TLMST are yyyy-mm-dd format, this is not working. It is not pulling any records. I tried to use the CAST statement but I keep getting errors about c ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. You make many valid points. I tend to agree, however, I'm trying to live by the other approach (dynamic) for a while to see how it works out. Who knows, I may switch ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) RowDefinition.Height=Auto => ActualHeight = ?

  Is there any chance to find out the real height of a row having its height set to "*" Thanks. Ok, I'll solve my problem if I can tell an Expander to autosize and fill the content of its parent, by code. Setting "Height = double.NaN" doesn't seem to work; when debugging it shows "0.0". I should mention that I've already set the Height to a particular value by code, and now I want to set it back to NaN. Also, is there any event that fires when an animation ends There is a "Completed" event, but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS 2005 SP1/atlconv.h fix.

  Hi, I've just installed SP1 and notice that the bug involving the need to add an extra closing bracket to the atl W2A_CP macro (in atlconv.h) has been fixed. This now means that my workaround to add a closing ')' causes a compilation error. Is there any means of maintaining code compatibility with VS 2005 RTM via a #define It doesn't appear that MSC_VER or MSC_FULL_VER has changed. Is there anything I can do It's going to be a pain if I need to get all our devs and build systems to upgrade immediately. I am going to mark this thread as answered since you have not followed up with any further information on your problem as requested for over a week - I assume you solved the problem yourself or one of th ...Show All

• Visual Basic ListBoxes selection issue

  Hi guys, I've been working on a macro in Outlook for quite some time, to handle emails and attachments, and now i'm converting to an add-in using VSTO, and particularly VB.NET. Originally, I had a listbox that was populated with all the attachments in an email. Then the user selects the attachments they wish to handle, and click to proceed. Then, they select, with a drop down list, where to save the attachments - once decided, i want to refer back to the list box, to go through each one, and if it is selected, save it... In outlooks VBA it was easy, with a simple for i = 0 to ListBox.ListCount - 1 if ListBox.Selected(i) = True ...etc etc However in VB.NET there seems to be absolutely no similar easy method to do this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using the Help in C# Express

  I'm using C# Express Edition, and when I do searches, I'd like to only see the C# references. Is there a reason why with EVERY link I click on it defaults to all languages, and a way that I can change that to be ONLY C# I've been through the different options that I can find, but can see nothing that will mark this as being my preferred language.
