• Visual Studio Team System Orcas request

  For the Orcas release of DB Pro, is there any chance of getting a set of diagram/GUI-based schema editors like the SQL Management Studio At the very least, even if they're two seperate installed products, there should be some sort of integration between the two. DB Pro is great for managing the scripts and doing things like rename, but it lacks graphical tools for doing just about anything. Many of us prefer the GUI's for day-to-day DB design. Thanks! After not finding anything similar, I filed a suggestion here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=250815 Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development Try refreshing the table adapter

  It is my understanding that when using a TableAdapter and selecting the proper options, Insert, Delete and Update statements are generated. The Update statement should work just using the following: myTableAdapter.Update(changes); Where changes is the DataSet containing the modified data. This logic works great for one of the tables in the DB but not for another. Learning this new stuff is Confusing at best - Frustrating at worst. Help appreciated, Michael i' ve this problem also, but i even can't mark the chek box "refresh the data table" because it is not enabled. i use the vs 2005 express verision. may it's the reason is somebodt know if i can update the database table with the ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with "Problem generating manifest" error

  Hi! I'm using VS 2005 SP 1 on my first project with CE. I've recently run into the problem that if I do anything with my SDF file in Visual Studio I get the following error when I run the project (in debug mode from VS): The process cannot access the file 'C:\xxx\MySDF.sdf' because it is being used by another process. The solution is to close the project and reopen it however this is getting painful. Anyone else seen this problem Thanks! Do you have the connection open in Server Explorer or any other place. Basically as long as there is some connection open to that database, you can not delete it. However, you can open multiple connection to the same database. We support multiple connecitons ...Show All

• .NET Development XSD Editor and root element

  Hi, I am converting some projects from VS2003 to VS2005. Everything has gone well but I have an issue with the new XSD Editor in VS2005... I have some XSD files which are made up of tables dropped from server explorer. In VS2003 the root element has the IsDataSet attribute set to "true" and so it is not shown on the XSD designer. I can not seem to achieve the same result in VS2005. I know the default designer is the DataSet Editor in 2005 for such XSD documents but I need to work in the XSD Editor (as the XSD is used for bespoke code generation)... Is there a way to hide the root element in the VS2005 XSD Editor Thanks in advance, Chris No, this feature has been removed from the ...Show All

• Visual Studio error: Cannot obtain value

  Hello, When i am debuging my application, i can't read the values of the variables used in the application. I see only the message: "error: Cannot obtain value" as the value. How can i fix this I use the tool visual studio 2005, vb .net and sql server 200. os windows xp   Wouter I've realized that the size and complexity of teh object i'm working on has something to do with it. I'm calling 4 functions (none has parameters) everything goes normal till i reach the 4th function, that's where i won't be able to access the values of my variables. I think that if i split the 4th function into many smaller functions i may avoid this "error: Cannot obtain value" issue, but the prob ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error when creating coverage info: Module App_Code.dll version mismatch

  Hi all, I have a solution that contains multiple webservices. I have code coverage turned on and everything works great when building local. When building with team build we get the following error. The Code Coverage Analysis Service could not analyze the code coverage data for build IBS 1.1 Master Build_1.1.0.34 (Mixed Platforms/Debug). This is frequently caused by publishing different versions of the same binary to a particular build.

I've trying a zillions of ways to hook up the onload/onloaded/loaded event (or what ever it is called - the doc is not too clear on that), but no luck.

• Internet Explorer Development AdBlock for IE

  I write something like adblock for ie. It has to parse the page, find unwanted ads and replace them with wanted ads. The problem i faced is when to parse and what to parse. My first idea was to do parsing in a temporary mime filter, but in this case there is a lot of "unresolved" code (internal/external scripts that can modify documen and are executed after parsing). It is also possible to make filter for image/*, load wanted ad myself and return it in filter's Read method but i have to modify ad's "href" so the problem is not solved completely. Also, this approach does not work for activex(flash). After that i tried to parse DOM from BHO, but in this case unwanted objects are displayed for a while before I can replace ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Does all of the source need to be copied?

  Hi... I've just executed by first build using TFS... everything looks good. I do have a quick questions though.... For the first build, I have a very small DLL that needs to be compiled, so that is the project I selected. Now, when I actually execute the build, all 4 GB of files in the source control get copied to the "Source" folder. Is there a way around this Thanks! Forch I don't why size of your source code is up to 4GB. Do you put all document on source code control If you do, I think you should put doc on wss(project portal). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Interoperability with Sun/Oracle/Fujitsu WS-CAF (Composite application Framework)

  Hi, Can someone tell me if there are still two standards emerging, diverging or converging in the Web Services transaction space A year or so ago, I was reading about Oracle's and Sun's Composite Application Framework as a rival to what Microsoft, Bea and IBM were doing. Is this still the case Is there a winner/loser or hybrid emerging Is it a case of Java and .NET demarcation flowing through I am specifically interested in the WS-AT subset of transactions so feel free (in fact please do) confine your answer(s) to this realm. Heuristic txn resolution is anathema to me (and by the looks msdtc) but Oracle/Sun (and curiously IBM) seem to live for it! They got "heuristic hazard" all over the place and are quite happy if a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Enabling user control mouse events

  I have created a user control and placed it onto a form and it all generally works OK. I have put code into the form to react to Mouse up, down and move events for the user control but the form code is never entered when I click on the user control. I am guessing that I need to put code into the user control to generate these events. If so can anyone suggest what is required Thank you but this doen't really answer my problem. I have coded my user control with all its properties and it works well on my form. I want to detect when a user clicks anywhere on the user control and so I created the MouseDown event handler in the form's code window by clicking on the name of the user control instance and ...Show All
