• Visual Studio Team System Adding FxCopCmd.exe to Post-build event command line options

  Hi, I have followed the steps for VS 2005 integration at this page: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/fxcop/Docs/FxCopCmd/FxCopCmd_VS.html and everything has worked correctly. I wanted to push the integration a step further. So I opened one of my project's properties and under Build Events / Post-build event command line I entered this information: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.35\FxCopCmd.exe" /p:"D:\Astrum Development\XStrata\Vega Nickel\AstrumFxCop.FxCop" /c When I build my project, after my project has been built, it starts FxCop, performs the analysis it tries to write the error message, but instead the output windows shows an error message saying : Cannot load PDB file.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Referencing another element in XAML

  How do you reference another element in XAML Say I had this: <Button x:Name="button" /> <MyControl OtherElement="button" /> I'd like the OtherElement property of MyControl to explicitly reference the "button" instance. As I have it above, it's just passing in a string. Is there a Markup Extension for getting the reference to the named element Basically say in my example the OtherElement property was declared as a get/set property returning a FrameworkElement. In that case I want to be able to set a reference to a FrameworkElement to that property, not the name of an element. So will the following return the reference to the Button control named "button" and set that refe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Locking Mouse

  Hi ive been looking for days to find the code that will lock "Block" the mouse move event from being processed... So far i've tried the code: actHook= new UserActivityHook (); actHook.OnMouseActivity+= new MouseEventHandler (MouseMoved); public void MouseMoved( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { Cursor .Position = Ace; } where Ace is the point that the mouse was at last. This doesn't work unfortunatly as i can still move the mouse around... That event is hooked with a class called UserActivityHook (declared as actHook) (not my class) UserActivityHook public event MouseEventHandler OnMouseActivity; I'm thinking that Cursor .Position is only repainting the cursor and while the mouse ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista NetUserEnum call fails on vista when going across domains

  I have a parent and a child domain. The vista machine is in the parent domain, when i try to get the user accounts on the child domain rfom the vista machine its gives me a access denied (5) even though i am logged in as a enterprise admin. The same code that i have outlined below works on XP\2000 etc. I use NetWkstaGetInfo to get information of the users workstation. The (WKSTA_INFO_100) structure member (wki100_langroup) has the name of the domain (Parent domain in this case as the vista machine is on the parent domain) then i use the NetGetAnyDCName to get any domain controller on the parent domain.

• Visual Studio Express Editions MessageBox Centering

  Is there a way in VisualBasic 2005 to bring up a message box centered related to my application, rather than centered relative to the entire screen I'm using 1280 x 1024 screen and my application (with a fixed size) doesn't cover the entire screen. Most of the times, my application window is closer to one of the edges of the screen and its message boxes pop up away from my application, in the middle of the screen. Thanks in advance for any tips. You could just use a new forum put ontop of your first one and make it cisible when they click a button, then not visible or hide when they click and "Ok" button. Hope this helps - ItsMe!!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to add a row to a table in a RichTextBox?

  I would like to add a command to my application to add a row to a table in a RichTextBox. Using reflector I can see that there is already code inside WPF to do this: There is EditingCommands.InsertTable, EditingCommands.InsertRows etc., but they are all internal. RichTextBox in its constructor even calls TextEditor.RegisterCommandHandlers, which registers command handlers for all these internal commands. And these command handlers are even implemented in the TextRange.EditTables class. Alas, all of this is only internal. I used the analyzer of reflector to see if there is any public way of accessing this functionality, but there doesn't seem to be. Has anybody successfully implemented table commands in a WPF RichTextBox ...Show All

• SQL Server How to solve conflicting component ID's

  Hello, I have 3 packages in one solution: package A is the main package and calls packages B and C using 2 "Execute Package Task"s. package B is a package constructed from scratch. package C is a package started by file copying the package B .dtsx file in Windows Explorer and then adding/removing/renaming content. If I run packages B and C separately they work fine. If I run package A, package B is started and finishes correctly. Then package C is started and stops somewhere in the middle. I guess this is because some of the component id's within package C are identical to those in package B ( I checked in the dtsx packages using Notepad. ) and somehow SSIS remembers the precedence constraints of package B ...Show All

• .NET Development Interop troubles with excel

  I asked this in the VB forum, but think it is more suited here. My application (VS2005) uses the interop assembly 11.0 to communicate with excel. 11.0 is the version for excel 2003. When I put the application on a client machine, it's fine provided the user has excel 2003 and either the PIAs are installed, or I distribute the dlls with my application. However, I've just tried this on a machine with O2007 and it's not working. I have installed the O2007PIAs on the client machine. Any ideas I assumed the O2007PIAs would be compatable with O2003... Conversion to late binding is going well, however I have one issue.. Referencing an excel cell via the PIAs was done numerically in the format (row, c ...Show All
