• Windows Forms IDE will not obey they settings for form height and width

  All-- Please help. The VS.NET 2003 IDE will not obey they settings for form height and width. Here is the scenario. I decide that I want my forms to have (Size=800,600) all the time, disallowing resizing. I have myBaseForm from which myChildForm1 inherits and myChildForm2 inherits. For all forms, I set (MaximumSize=800,600) and (MinimumSize=800,600) and (Size=800,600) and (Locked=True) and (FormBorderStyle=FixedSingle). I do >Window, >Close All Documents. I do >Build, >Rebuild Solution. I open myBaseForm and notice that (Size=800,620). OK, I think to myself, the IDE must have some rule applied and needs some kind of specific proportionality or ratio or granularity when setting Size. Fine, I wi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Active Sync 3.7 and 4.0 On Same Machine

  I have Active Sync 3.7 on my machine because I have a Pocket PC phone running 2003. Therefore I need 3.7 to sync to my device. However, I would like to use VS 2005 to develop an application targetting Windows Mobile 5.0 which requires that I install Active Sync 4.0. Can Active Sync 3.7 and 4.0 be installed on the same machine without conflicts I am using an RTM version of VS 2005. Sorry, but no - only one version of ActiveSync can be installed on a PC at any time. However, ActiveSync 4.0 can sync your PocketPC 2003 phone as well as Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.

• SQL Server How to disable/enable jobs for database that has failed over

  Hi, I currently have serverA importing data from an AS400 oledb connection and serverB on hot-standby as a mirror. The data import is being performed via an SSIS scheduled job. I've yet to implement any solution in the following case: If the database on serverA fails, it will failover to the mirror. But the jobs will still be on serverA. Ideally, I'm assuming the jobs should not run on serverB since it will be attempting to update the mirrored database. So, I am wondering if both servers can have identical copies of SSIS packages and jobs and simply ( ) enable or disable them based on which server will be hosting the principal database. Is there any solution where the jobs can automatically be disabled on the server with the mirrored ...Show All

• Visual Studio Quirky Debugger with VS 2005 SP 1 Beta

  Has anyone else noticed that the debugger seems a little quirky with VS 2005 SP 1 Beta with respect to debugging multiple threads I find if I'm debugging a second thread it's really slow and sometimes does not work--often seeing ThreadAbortException when the Autos or Locals windows are visible. That's the response I received with respect to the Connect issue. But, this is new for me in SP1. I didn't have this problem before I installed SP1. It doesn't seem deterministic: some people have the problem and some people don't. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [PersistOnClose] - Not persisting?

  I have a pretty simple Sequential Workflow with 2 copies of a Custom Activity that simply set some tracking values. Each Activity is decorated with [PersistOnClose] , the Execute function returns an AEC status of Executing and I am using a Queue to return some values to the QueueItemAvailable handler. This handler then ultimately calls CloseActivity(); Each activity sets different tracking values, and what I am seeing is that BOTH activities run, despite the [PersistOnClose] and the CloseActivity Is there anything else I am missing to persist after my activity is completed Regards, Dave   Jon Flanders wrote: Handle the WorkflowRuntime.WorkflowPersisted event just to make sure.

• SQL Server Windows Authentication connection problem

  I belive this issue maybe to do with the domain or the network, but since I don't know how to diagnose the problem exactly I've posted here as the starting point. When connecting to Sql Server 2005 using Windows Authentication, the first attempt will fail, but subsiquent attempts suceed. It fails with a message of the connection attempt timeing out. This happens when directly using SMO or using the Management Studio (which I belive also uses SMO but at a more raw internal level). If I use Sql Authentication then I can log on fine. Also when in Management Studio frequently opening a diagram or modifying a table and other general tasks will take an unsually long time. Other things like outlook (working with exchange) are al ...Show All
