Visual C# Problem regarding displaying the ￡ sign in a win32 console application
Hi, I'm trying to write what is really a very simple program, and am running into a stumbling block in regards to character output. when I type theline: 'cout << "￡";' it displays in the console window after compilation as: 'u' I was hoping someone could perhaps tell me why this happens, and suggest a solution I've been scouting around online, and to my surprise found really very little information on how to do deal with this issue. Thx It works fine in C#: namespace ConsoleApplication2 { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { Console.WriteLine(" ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office Word's Action Pane: Context Menu doesn't work properly (doesn't go away)
I noticed that Context Menus in Action Pane work differently than Context Menus inside Form. If you bring a Context Menu in Form and then click away context menu will go away. But in Action Pane if you bring a Context Menu and then click away Context Menu will stay. Is it known behavior of action pane Is there any work around that The simplest way to see that is create User Control with Context menu and then add this control to Action Pane and to Form. Now you can see the difference between two Context menus. I don't have an answer for you, but the question has come up before and here was the response: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=717592&SiteID=1 ...Show All
SQL Server How to check out our cluster remotely?
Hi everyone, Primary platform on client is XP Pro sp2 and on server Win2003 Ad.Server 64-bit We're looking for any snippet or link related with Clustering instantiating. We need to call our remote cluster from an ASP 3.0 page and check out if one of our Active Resource is up (in this case is a .net service) . We suppose that it should be done for each node. It's an Active-Passive cluster. Thanks for your time, Just connect to the virtual host name that is part of the SQL Resource Group, and make a query. Coding technique should be no different for a cluster than any other remote connection - just use the name of the virtual host instead of the physical one, and the connection gets automatica ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Duplicated Web Service Proxy Message Classes
I'm trying to connect to an ASP.NET 2.0 Web Service (ASMX) by using a WCF client proxy generated through the 'Add Service Reference'. The import works fine and the proxy classes are created however all dependency objects that are used as parameters and return values are duplicated in the generated source file. This is due to the the service publishing both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 bindings apparently and the importer apparently importing the bindings for each of the types repeatedly, so I end up with two partial classes for each dependent type. It looks something liekt his: [System.CodeDom.Compiler. GeneratedCodeAttribute ( "System.Runtime.Serialization" , "3.0.0.0" )] [System.Runtime.Serialization. DataContra ...Show All
Visual C# Issue with ConsoleTraceListener and Web projects
I'm writing a log system based on MS Enterprise Library logging solution, and I' trying to make use of the built in ConsoleTraceListener in .Net. Now, it basically works in windows environment, but doesn't work in a web environment. From what I understand this is because Cassini (the built in debug web server is VS2005) doesn't have a console you really can write to. That's all fair, but I really find it odd that you can write to the debug console with Trace.WriteLine(...), but calling base.WriteLine(...) (where base is ConsoleTraceListener) nothing shows up. Why is this happening I can't help to think that ConsoleTraceListener and Trace should use somewhat the same mechanics, but can't really pinpoint what the difference is. I'd like to u ...Show All
.NET Development generating and populating datagrid columns and rows dynamically from a stored procedure
Do you know if it s possible to: from a stored procedure, get all the returned columns and build the datagrid clumns accordinally (each column returned by the Stored Procedure will correspond to a column of the datagrid column) so that we can populate the datagrid after with the resulting resultset from the SP. Thank you So i guess it s automatic. Let s say I want to implement amethod that retrns the list of columns of a resultset reurnd by a stored procedure. I guess my dataset will include that list automatically, right I need this for an asp.net datagrid that is supposed to get filled automatically (columns and rows) from an SP. But also, I need some of the columns to be a kind of a hyperlink to another page. P.S: I a ...Show All

I created a setup project that works fine for my app. I as develop the app and release new versions, I would like to be able to install the new version directly over the old of by having the installer simply overwrite the files it installed in a previous version. As of now, it says another version is already installed and to use Add/Remove programs to remove it first. Is there a simple way around this Thanks. I was changing that property along with the product code when prompted with the RemovePreviousVersion set to true and it wasn't removing the old version's entry in the add/remove program (ARP) window.
