• Visual C++ VS2K5 SP1 Beta bugs!!!???

  I installed the beta to get around a merge problem with TFS and it worked. However, I create the installer for our product on that machine. When I released daily installer the code started breaking because the actual code was compiled with RTM VS2K5(this is expected) However, our previously released products running on MFC 8.0 all started breaking after installing the daily build. Why would already installed products on a system break if a product installed with the beta MFC merge modules start to break Is this what will happen when the SP ships And more importantly, how do I scrape the unwanted SP1 Beta DLLs from these now "infected" test machines Thanks, I am discussing this with MS Support but though ...Show All

• .NET Development Bumping it up. Still looking for an answer to this.

  I have a peculiar problem. I have an application that launches a bunch of other AppDomains. I then call the newly created Appdomain's CreateInstanceAndUnwrap method and I get back an object that adheres to an interface I have defined. That interface has an event on it, let's call it ListenerEvent. I then do NewlyCreatedObjectInOtherAppDomain.ListenerEvent += new ListenerEventHandler (MethodInThisClassAndThisAppDomain); Then I tell this other Object to start processing which will sporadically call the event. If 5 minutes go by without a callback and then the object tries to callback, an exception is thrown that looks like this: A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException' occurred ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Depth of Features

  I am going through a book on VB that uses visual studio 2003, using visual basic 2005 express edition. But it seems that in express edtion the user is unable to create a solution within which multiple projects can reside. There is no option in templates to create a solution in express edition, is this right or am I doing something wrong TIA If anyone as MSFT is watching, it would be nice to have an exhaustive list of differences that Express has with the other editions. The outlined comparisions like http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx don't list all the differences. I learn of a minute difference almost daily. ...Show All

  convert(uniqueidentifier, 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) not working.   I am assuming that you are passing in a string, and converting to UI.  Put single quotes around the string. Example:  Select convert(uniqueidentifier, '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')   BobP ...Show All

• SQL Server UDT - SQL Server 2005 - How to add custom properties in C# ?

  Hello to everyone, I've a question about UDTs and the way I can use them to access tables and columns where they are applied in a SQL Server 2005 DB . I've already spent 2 days googling and MSDN reading but nothing helped me to solve my problem, thats why I'm posting it here (this is the second post, maybe the last one was in the wrong Forum). The scenario follows: I've created a UDT called MyUDT that exposes 2 properties MyTable , MyColumn , here its the code: [Serializable] [SqlUserDefinedType(Format.UserDefined, IsByteOrdered = true, MaxByteSize = 8000, Name = "MyUDT")] public class MyUDT : INullable, IBinarySerialize {     private string _myTable;     private string _myColumn; .. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Mshtml size problem

  I am using Microsoft.Mshtml.dll in my project, but it is to big for my app. To simplify my application is only 60 KB big in size, and the mshtml.dll is 7.3 MB big. My application doesnt work if I dont copy the file localy. Is there any way of resolving my problem and reducing size of my application I am using click once to deploy my projects, and it doesnt support compression. How come your application doesn't work if you don't copy mshtml.dll locally It is usually a bad idea to copy system files locally; for example, if Microsoft patches mshtml.dll, then your application will be using the unpatched version. Can you let us know why you can't use the mshtml.dll file in the syste ...Show All

• SQL Server Restarting OLAP Service fails / ultraslow

  Hi, since about 2 weeks I have a problem with the MSSQLServerOLAPService Service. When I try to restart it, the following happens: till about 50% of restarting, it goes smooth... but after that, it goes very very slow... finally generating the following error: "Could not start the MSSQLServerOLAPService service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." I have to click OK then. The service list shows me that MSSQLServerOLAPService service is "Starting". After about 3 to 5 minutes, it says "Started" and then I can use the Analysis Manager again. During restart I can see the following processes eat memory and they keep the memory allocated ever after. msm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Does the Tools for Office edition still have the ability to build and deploy traditional VS applications or .NET websites?

  Wrote an email to a college for advise about which version of Studio to upgrade to from 2003 professional I am asking for an upgrade of Studio for next year. Thinking that the "Visual Studio Tools for Office" might be better for me that the regular "Visual Studio Professional Edition". Main difference is that I only get vb & c++, and no Crystal Reports", but I get "Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions". College wrote: That sounds like a good idea at first, but I'm not sure that you assumptions of the capabilities of the Tools for Office edition on its own is entirely accurate. I am suspicious that you will only have the ability to build MS Office applications with the Tools for Office. I am not cer ...Show All
