• Visual C# reference type

  Hi all, I was reading the following: " If you specify that a reference type should be passed by value, a copy of the reference is made and the copy is passed". How do you pass a refernece as value in C# I thought, for example, string is a reference class, all I need to do is just call Foo(str) and it is passed by reference and there is no need for ref. Am I missing something. Thanks You pass a reference type by value if you don't use the ref keyword.  But that doesn't necessarily mean you can't change the value of what the reference type is referencing, it just means you can't change the value of the reference itself (you can change the data it points to, but not which data ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Overriding wceload's install directory in WM5

  In previous versions of Windows Mobile (starting with 2002, anyway), there was a way to programmatically override the install directory for a CAB with wceload.exe by using the /noaskdest command line switch and populating the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\Install With WM5, though, that functionality is half-broken. It's not completely ignoring that key, because the CAB file specified there is still installed, but it's ignoring the install directory that's specified there. What I'm wondering is, when will this bug be fixed, or is there now an alternate way to do it My reasons for wanting to do this instead of using wceload's install destination GUI are two-fold: - Uniform destination selection G ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Build Properly Per Branch

  All, I've been searching and haven’t really found an answer to this. Our current project is setup as follows. $---BaseLine !---Dev !---QA !---UAT We have a Baseline branch, which where all day to day development takes place. We then have a Dev Branch. Code is merged into this branch when the developer feels it is ready to be promoted. We then will move specific changesets from branch to branch as it gets tested in each environment. We build these branches independently and on different schedules. We have different TFS build files for each. I am having the following problem in our automated build process. . It seems the way TFS figures out which changesets are part of the build is to assume that any changesets which w ...Show All

• Visual C++ MS DTP Issue

  Hi All, MS DTP is implemented in such a way that when using DTP Control, if a) you type in 2 digit year which is <=29, it takes it as 20XX where XX is the year you entered. b) you type in 2 digit year which is >=30, it takes it as 19XX where XX is the year you entered. As soon as user types a 2 digit year in MS DTp control, it automatically converts it to 19XX or 20XX depending upon what user typed. So, even if I do an UpdateData() and get the value to a data variable .. I get the 4 digit value and not a 2 digit ... and there is no way for me to know thatuser typed a 2digit year(which MS control automatically updated) or a 4 digit year. What I need is :- To somehow stop this conversion from happening and get the 2 d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Corrupted files on check in with SourceSafe beta

  Hello, We seem to be having issues with Visual SourceSafe V8.0.50215.44. Our toolset has used SourceSafe for asset management for two projects now with little issue. Since we updated to the new DevStudio beta 2 and the accompanying version of SourceSafe, we have been having intermittent issues with SourceSafe. Sometimes when we check in a new version of a binary file, it will appear in SourceSafe as a 0 K file, or even worse randomly corrupted. There doesn’t seem to be any way to predict if this will happen, and it has made the process of updating our assets very laborious, because we have to double check the checked in file to make sure it didn’t get corrupted. We will have to revert to a previous version ...Show All

• Gadgets What is the best way to implement the UI for author mode

  Hi, I found it's rather painful to build the UI for author mode, especially when I need to align the controls, or many fancy stuffs. Currently, I am using the method that I think the most simple one that I know: p_elSource.innerHTML = "<table style='width:100%'><tr><td>Url</td><td style='width:100%'><input id='myInput' value=''></td><tr></table>"; var myInput = document.getElementById('myInput'); Above is the simple one but there is a problem here: getElementById is not a good approach as some people mention (especially when add 2 same gadget on the web page). And I also encountered some problem in sizing. Can you share your experience to build a robust UI but less painful Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Error receiving HTTP response" in WCF client application

  I've build a very simple service in WCF.  I've run the svcutil against the svc and generated the proxy and config.  I've incorporated the config as the App.config in my windows client.  When I attempt to make a call to the service using the proxy I receive this error message: "An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:1671/Services/. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details." Has anyone seen this before I met the same problem. Bindings in service side and client side are both "wsHttpBinding&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Addicted to Stored Procedures: A time series problem. Is it possible?

  It's been about two weeks since I first began using SQL Stored procedures and now I am thinking already about changing many of my plans and doing those operations in them. There is a problem I want to address and see if it is possible to accomplish it in SQL Server instead of the client C# code. I have a time series. In simplified presentation it is a table of two columns. The first one is float, the second is DateTime. There might be quite a few rows in the table: A1 ... DT1 A2 ... DT2 ................ An....
