• Visual Basic EventLog Frustrations [vs2003]

  I am attempting to have one of my applications write to a custom log, rather than the application log. I can write to a custom log no problem, if the source name has never been used before. I have setup the following code to recreate my problem. Any help would be great, as I thought I was making a two minute change, and eight hours later, I'm crazy! Private Sub btnCreateMessage_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles btnCreateMessage.Click 'This call works WriteEntry("Test App", "Application") 'This call will result in the following message in the Application Log: 'The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( FileComposer ) cannot be found. ...Show All

• .NET Development loading two assemblies with different versions on one app domain.

  Hi. I have a scenario where I can load different versions of an assembly into the app.domain. Every assembly is strong-named and differs on their versions. So, I call Assembly.LoadFrom(fileName) to load them. Everything works fine... I check the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() and I have my assemblies loaded, like: test1, Version=1.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3b5d690f46ae7c70 test1, Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc2f34cb47a26088 When I work with the assembly that it's loaded the first (version 1.0.0.0), I can create an instance of it and use it, but when I call System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("test1, Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc2f34cb47a26088") I get the fo ...Show All

• Community Chat Generic Lists & the System.Predicate Delegate.

  I may be missing something here, however I am baffled at the signature of the predicate delegate as defined for the Find methods of the generic List in 2.0. Could somebody please enlighten me as to the lack of an additional parameter with which to pass in search criteria I would have at least expected this to be overloaded with the option for something like the following: System.Predicate(Of T)(obj As T, match As Object) As Boolean This would make more sense to me. For my own purposes I have felt the need to pre-load any search criteria for my List searches into a higher-scope variable prior to hitting Find with the restrictive signature. Thanks in advance for helping to clear this up for me. Regards, David Kennedy ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) => operator in C# 3.0

  Im doing the Hands On Lab for DLing and I see the => operator in code: foreach ( var c in db.Customers.Where(cust => cust.CustomerID.Contains( "CA" ))) { Console .WriteLine ( "{0}, {1}, {2}" , c.CustomerID, c.CompanyName, c.Orders.Count); } How do I read that and what does in mean Paul V.

• SQL Server SSIS + SSAS => Fairly consistent hanging?

  I have an SSIS package that reprocesses part of my cube. I've tested that it works, and deployed it as a SQL Job to run regularly. Strangely, it seems that the SSAS server hangs fairly regularly and when the SSIS job starts to run, it'll be stuck for hours. Is this expected Should I be bumping our SSAS service nightly Are there tools available to monitor SSAS service health Sure, go ahead and contact product support services, guys there should be able to help to trouble shoot the issue. Hangs (or persived hangs) really hard to troubleshoot. There could be multiple things going on. For one, try suggestions Wayne had in his article. Quite a few customers run into this problem and were able to solve ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Client on the same ReportServer

  Hi ! Once again i have a question . We have a Web application and lately we have install ReportBuilder to allow some of our Clients to create their own reports. I was wondering how to "hide" reports made by a Client from another client For exemple if a Client 'A' create a report and save it on his folder. When the client 'B' open reportBuilder and select the option OPEN, currently the Client 'B' can see the folder of the Client 'A'. So the Client 'B' could modify a report that belong to another client. I was looking in the Report Manager but i couldn't find how to 'hide' a folder from user using the security option. Maybe we haven't configuer ReportServer propely. How can we solve this problem Is there a good website that expl ...Show All

• Visual C++ length limit in include file search path?

  Hi, It seems that when I have too many directories in my include file search path, the compiler starts giving error about some headers not being found.

• Visual Studio Team System TF30059: Fatal error while initializing web service

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

• Windows Forms Needed: tutorial with VS2005/MSBuild, Dotfuscator CE and satellite assemblies

  ClickOnce has great potential, but it turns out to be poorly documented when like me... - you want to obfuscate your application (a sensible requirement for a commercial application), for instance with Dotfuscator CE - you want to localize your application (again, a sensible requirement) - you prefer VS2005 settings and MSBuild over Mage command lines (a sensible requirement if MSBuild is to become our unique build tool) What would be great is a good step-by-step tutorial. Am I getting too old Thanks Robert. Your links will certainly help.
