• Visual C# "Absolute path information is required" bug.

  Hello, I've installed Visual Studio 2005 MSDN and I have problems with C# projects.

• Windows Forms Labels changing size/font size on different computers

  A testing version of my application has been installed on several computers at the client's office. On some computers, some of the labels appear to have changed size and the text is wrapping to a second line making them hard to read. There is also a combobox at the right end of the toolbar. On two machines it is half off the screen. The form is maximized, all the control boxes are visible--it's like the toolbar just keeps going past the edge of the form. I have compared display settings for font size and resolution and framework versions and also if service pack 2 is installed on the computers. I can't see any pattern for why some computers display the labels and forms correctly and others don't. If anybody has any ideas that would be grea ...Show All

• SQL Server 'Default' NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR behavior...

  Hi, The below query returns 20 rows when run against our production DW. When the NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR is removed, it returns 10 rows. Note the lack of a member list on the N_E_B.

• Windows Forms Get the parent Control object... solved!

  I have a non-visual class like (avalible in the toolbox) public class MyClass: Component { public MyClass() {...} } In this class I have some asyncronus external events that needs to be syncronized with the "main - gui - thread" that consumes events from "MyClass"... Before I made a "toolbox" component of "MyClass" I hade a constructor like public class MyClass: Component { public MyClass(Control parent) {...} } This way I had the "parent" object to sync with... But using MyClass as a component in the "toolbox" forces me to have a constructor without any parameters... I need to get hold of the parents "Control - object" inside of "MyClass".

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel: Smart Tag icon not visible in worksheet copies

  Hi everybody,(I'm using VSTO 2005) In a very simple Workbook test project containing a SmartTag wich inherits Excel.SmartTag and overrides Recognize, everything works perfectly as far as I type my text in the 3 default sheets. As I copy an empty worksheet (i.e. sheet3) and try to type the same recognizable text in the newly added worksheet (i.e. sheet3(2)) : 1. The smart tag still always recognize correctly every cell (I put a breakpoint on the line where I perform the PersistTag method in the Recognize override). 2. On the newly created worksheet the smarttag icon (and relative arrow and menu) doesn't appear anymore 3. On the original worksheets (1,2 and 3) the icon remains visible only associated to text previously typed but as I type ...Show All

• Visual Basic Compiled app failing in InitializeComponent

  I have created a WinForms application that runs fine in Debug mode, but when I deploy it to a server, it fails when it executes InitializeComponent while loading its first form. How do you debug something like this Winforms Err.Number and Err.Description are not VB.Net errors They are VBA, VB, or VB.Script style errors I believe. So this error is probably comming from a VB based Com object that the application is attempting to initialize. Thats my guess anyway. Ibrahim ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the right way to install SQL Server 2005 silently?

  Hi, I am having loads of problems trying to package up SQL Server 2005 to install silently. When I do the silent install from a DOS Command prompt, it seems to work OK. When I try it using a BladeLogic agent (a kind of remote command execution), then it tries to throw up a gui which just shows a title bar, and holds up the installation process. From searching on the web, this kind of thing happens when doing the installation from the RunOnce registry key. What is happening here, and why is the setup program throwing up this screen Is there another way to do the silent installation (e.g. installing each msi in turn) Will this be fixed in a new release Mark. I will try. This is a software deployment tool, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Bug: Fatal Exception 0x80131623 and ReturnEventHandler

  I just ran into what appears to be a bug in WPF, or at least an undocumented requirement. Essentially, it appears the method implementing the ReturnEventHandler for a PageFunction.Return event must belong to a PageFunction or the entire application just faults and terminates immediately with 0x80131623. There are no prior first chance exceptions appearing in the debug console that I can find which might be contributing. The following is further elaboration of the scenario. PageFunction1 has a button that triggers a RoutedUICommand. Command1, among other things, implements OnExecute and OnCanExecute as RoutedUICommand event handlers. RoutedUICommand1, Command1.OnExecute, and Command1.OnCanExecute are bound to PageFunction1 u ...Show All
