• Smart Device Development Missing files - .NET Compact Framework 2 SP1 in a Platform Builder 4.2 image

  I am trying to include the .NET Compact Framework 2 files in an Platform Builder 4.2 project. I have installed all the monthly Platform Builder updates including the July update that included .Net Compact Framework 2 SP1. .NET Compact Framework 2 shows up in my catalog and I have added it to my project and rebuilt my OS. The OS compiles correctly however none of the .NET Compact Framework 2 files are included in the OS. Any ideas Thanks for the suggestion, but now I have a different problem. I removed NETCFV1 and NETCFv2 from the project and then added back NETCFV2. I did a clean and then build and now I get a compile error: Error: could not find file ...mscoree.dll I even tried creating a brand new p ...Show All

• SQL Server Blank Error Messagebox Displayed at startup

  When I start SQL Server Management Studio an error message box with no text is displayed with the Exclamation ICON.  Everything seems to be working after clicking OK though.  Anyone else experienced this.  Also...  Why is it that I can't repair the installation from Add and Uninstall   Do I have to uninstall it to repair it The SQL 2005 is the Developer Addition with a new install... I have since run into this problem again. It seems to be related to Crystal Reports. I run an application that appears to use an older version of some Crystal Reports dll than VS 2005 provides. It's a bit of an ongoing saga in that I repair VS 2005, it breaks the other app - I run the other app, it breaks VS 2005. It also appea ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataBinding Control to GUID type error

  I have a Win Application that accesses about 10 tables. The application uses databinding to datasets and it was working fine when my primary keys were integers. I changes all of the primary keys (1 per table) to GUIDs. I made all of the corresponding changes to the datasets. Now the WIN form application generates errors when I try to make a change to the current record. I have a list box that is used to identify the record to display on the current form. When the user selects (clicks) on a record, the form displays that detail data. It was working fine. Now when the user clicks on a record after load, an error messgae is displayed like the following: "Unhandles exception has occured in your application. .... Column 'NoteID' i ...Show All

• SQL Server Error message 913

  I've been having intermittent issues with SQL Server 2000 server on Windows 2000 Server. This server acts as a development server and is on the same network as our production server which runs Windows 2003 Server. Spare me the lecture about running different OS's on production and development servers, I wasn't the individual who setup the environment, just the one who got saddled with the responsibilitiy of making it useful for our staff. Anyway, the issue I've been dealing with is intermittent 913 error messages similar to what follows: Server: Msg 913, Level 16, State 8, Line 1 Could not find database ID 80. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition. I have several tools I've developed which I use to backup the pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cascading Deletes

  Folks, I've read elsewhere in this forum that retrievals of associated objects must be done explicitly by invoking Load() on the association. Is the same true for deletes Are deletes cascaded If they're not, I would expect to be able to override the implementation of an Entity's Delete() method. I'm using the August CTP. Entity.Delete() is a concrete method. I would have to shadow the implementation of Delete() with a new implementation of Delete() in my entity classes in order to cascade the invocation of Delete() on an aggregate root to members of the aggregate. If cascading deletes is already there, how does it work If cascading deletes is going to be done explicitly as the retrieves are, will the Delete() method on Entity be made vi ...Show All
