• .NET Development Can't step into web service in debugger

  I have a windows forms application that calls a c# dll which calls a web service (on my local web server). I wrote the code using VS.NET 2003 and had no trouble debugging. I have recently upgraded to VS.NET 2005 and can no longer step into the web service. When I set a breakpoint in the web service and start the app, I see an icon next to the breakpoint that says no symbols have been loaded for the document. I have added the following line to the webconfig file: < compilation debug = " true " > The configuration Manager shows all projects being built with debug on and when I look at the property pages for my web service, the asp.net debugger is checked. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Keeping dataset data

  Hi Hope someone can enlighten me. My problem is that when I add a query to a TableAdapter in my dataset I lose the test data when I debug the application to see if mt query will work. How can I keep the data in the dataset so that I don't have to keep re-entering every time. I have my Database prperties set to CopyIfNewer as well as the different forms in my application but this does not help. Thanks for your patience I don't see how that woulf help as I need to see if the changes I make are working with the data I have. I would still have to alter both datasets. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Missing file" link error with TFS build

  Hi, We are trying to build automatically one VS 2005 solution containing various VC++ project (one exe and several dlls). This solution and its projects make use of custom configuration (this help us to define various preprocessor #defines used in our C++ code). When building this solution with one configuration through via VS 2005 on a desktop computer, everything builds fine. But after creating a TFS build type and running it on the build server we see this error: LINK(0,0): error LNK1104: cannot open file 'D:\Build\RootFolder\TFSProjectName\BuildTypeName\Binaries\PlatformName\ConfigurationName\DesignerLocale.lib' (D:\Build\RootFolder being our build directory path) It is strange that TFS build look for lib files in the 'D:\Buil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Set webbrowser homepage.

  Could someone give me an example code of how to set the webbrowser homepage by opening a properties window Similar to internet explorer, but I only need to set the homepage. If it requires me to make a new form than that is fine. I just need to know. Also, I would like to know more about how to save history of urls typed into the textbox. I want it to be a seperate history from IE. Thanks in advance. I think that you can't because the WebBrowser that comes with Visual Studio is just Internet Explorer. What I would do is set your applications home page to a database, file, or something, and then access that URL when pressing the Home Button instead of using the GoHome command. ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Calculations Script updates

  I have mdx calculated members defined in my cube calculation script. Is there any tool (other than BI Studio) that would allow a power user (typically a financial controller) to modify formulas for selected calculated members Another option could be to use custom rollup formulas stored in the relational data source and offer a nice front-end for modifying those formulas, but this would require a full process of the cube, where as modifying the calculation script would only require a default process. Any other idea Thanks! I am not aware of anything like this that is available and there are a couple of barriers to actually building something like it. at present you would need to have admin rights t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help with twister

  I have been looking on the net for random number generators and found something called "Mersenne Twister" on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister . And there you find som pseudocode that I don't fully understand. For example, how do I write this line in C++ : MT[ i ] := last_32bits_of((69069 * MT[i-1]) + 1) And from the second function, how do I write the following code in C++ y := 32nd_bit_of(MT[ i ]) + last_31bits_of(MT[i+1]) Is this the most efficient way of checking if a number is even : if(x % 2 == 0){do something...;} The most confusing parts here are "last_32bits_of", "32nd_bit_of" and "last_31bits_of". I don't really understand what that mean at all. I a ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS, BIDS and Temporary files

  Why are some SSIS files, generated by the Import/Export Data wizard put into the local users temp folder Why are these not compiled with the package when the solution is built Is there some setting I am missing This architecture is kind of silly, as the server always needs access to the temp folder on the local machine to run. How can I get these temp files packaged with the rest of the package and deployed to the server so the server can run independent of the machine I develop the package on Thanks, Jeff I think that's because files generated by the Import/Export Data wizard are supposed to be temporary and isn't really considered part of the package. What data does your temp files con ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dispatcher.BeginInvoke and application freeze

  Hi everybody, In my application, I use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() to allow a long method to be run asynchronously. But this doesn't prevent my application to be freezed during the call of Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(): i click on a button which call the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() method, but this button (and all of my app) is freezed and i've got to wait before being able to use my app again.... How can I launch a method asynchronously so even if it's a long method, I'm still able to use the app I tought Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() could do it but it looks like not..... Thanks That depends upon what you are beginning invoke on. Usually you have your Interface, aska your butotn spawn a thread to perform the action. ...Show All
