• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Perforator

  Where can I find Perfarator tool I install full version of the new WinSDK & I don't see perfarator in "\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin". Perforator is now part of a collection of performance profiling tools in the executable WpfPerf.exe. After starting the application, you can add the Perforator module to the tool. You can find documentation on all the tools in the article titled "Performance Profiling Tools for WPF" or on MSDN . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Change default from VB to C#

  When I installed VS 2005 I chose Visual Basic as my default language. I would now like to Change it to C#. I remember somewhere in the install process it was stated that this was possible, but I can't find how it is done. Can someone help me One thing in particular is the news feed on the startup page. I know where in the options to make the change, but I don't know the valid value for the c# feed. Thank you very much for your help. I tried to search for an answer to this question, but must not have used the proper keywords. Anyway, thanks again, that solution worked. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic drawings in VB.Net

  Hi, Is there any VB.Net equivalent to the vbXorPen and vbNotXorPen options of the DrawMode property in VB6 These options were very usefull to create dynamic drawings. Thanks by advance, Pierre I think the only option is to use GDI Calls if you wish to use those functions (wrappered by the graphics object GetHdc and ReleaseHdc methods). There doesn't seem tto be the ability to do what you want directly. However, the new drawing techniques available don't really require the old VB6 methods (drawing 'rubber bands' and such). ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How do I manually deploy the CF2 to my PPC?

  I tried running the Microsoft installer and although it starts the installation on my PPC (running Windows Mobile 5.0), it never actually installs the Framework.

• .NET Development How can I parse an SQL statement into a canonical form ?

  Is there any class available (either in the framework or external and in that case preferably open source) that can be used to test whether two sql statements are equivalent or not (equivalent regarding irrelevant white space, parentheses, and upper/lowercase for keywords) Basically, what I would like to do is to find a class (below called SqlParser)that I can use like this: string sql1 = SqlParser.getSqlStatementInCanonicalForm("SELECT mycol1 FROM mytable where mycol2=1 and mycol3='abc'"); string sql2 = SqlParser.getSqlStatementInCanonicalForm(" sEleCT mycol1 frOM mytable where ( mycol2 = 1 ) and ( mycol3 = 'abc' ) "); NUnit.Framework.Assert.AreEqual(sql1, sql2); / Tomas   To ...Show All

• SQL Server UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY confusion.

  I wrote this stored procedure and it works fine, it seems. The questions I have are as follows: (1) What is the difference between PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE. They seem to pertain to the same behavior. When I used only UNIQUE as qualifier I did not see that the column was marked as primary in the SQL Management Studio. What I need is for a column to be unique in the sense that it would not allow duplicate values and it must have an INDEX on it. I need it to be descending . (2) Did I do it right or there are aspects in here I do not quite see set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateTableDailyClose] @symbol varchar (10) = null AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(500) SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE dbo. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Re-useable Components

  Hi Can someone tell me the steps to create a reuseable component The info for C# Express says it can be done but I can not find any info on how to do this. Sandy If you like to create a component that can be dragged to the form in design view, create class that is inherited from Component class. You can do this by hand, and writing for example: public class MyComponent : Component { . . . Or you can create it by adding new file to your project and selecting it type to be Component instead of class. When you build you project that has Component in it, the components should be visible in design toolbox. ...Show All

• .NET Development Custom settings types

  I was wondering if it was possible to add custom objects the Type list on the Settings tab in the project properties dialog In other words, besides the built-in String, Int, Color, StringCollection, etc. classes, can I also add say an Employee object so I can access it via My.MySettings I have looked around but cannot find any examples or references that would point me in the right direction. Thanks. - Jason Johan, I apologize if I keep harping on this. Your help has been great. It seems that you response to point 1 and point 3 contradict each other. Point 1 says that the custom object will not show up in the designer. But then in point 3 you recommend putting the custom class in its own li ...Show All
