• Visual Studio Custom Tool in VS2005

  Hi, have some troubles creating a "Custom Tool" like "MSDataGenerator": I read the article found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/02/CuttingEdge/   and some of the linked articles too. So here are the steps i made in hardly 15 mins: 1. Create new VS2005 C# ClassLibraryProject called "MyGenerator" 2. Add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite.dll 3. Implemented: "MyGenerator.cs": using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Microsoft.CustomTool; namespace MyGenerator {    [ComVisible(true)]    [Guid("d1815bb9-ecce-4dbc-9b73-ce4ff234af7d")]    public class MyGenerator : BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite    {    &n ...Show All

• Visual C# Enumerator position

  Hey guys, I'm new to C#, and I'm trying to do something that was fairly basic in STL (C++). I want to get the position of an Enumerator inside a collection. In STL collections that you can iterate both ways through, you can use fake pointer math to get the position. For example: vector<long> dimVals = getDimensionValues(); for(vector<long>::iterator i = dimVals.begin(); i != dimVals.end() ++i) { PrintValue(*i, i - dimVals.begin()); //prints value and position } In C# I see that the collections have Enumerator members, but I don't see any way to get their position. Is it possible Thanks! I would share with you some thoughts about this approach. I know that many times, in real programming ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merging *.Designer.cs files

  We are having enormous difficulty merging Windows Forms designer files. I think it's just because of the way the code generator in Visual Studio works combined with how merge algorithms usually work in the merge tools. But it is pretty bad - almost to the point where we might reconsider branching and merging altogether. I'm not sure what else we would do to isolate code bases, but spending hours and sometimes days merging 100's of code-behind files, only to find that controls are missing or missplaced on the form is not really acceptable, either. Can you provide any guidance on merging these files I'm looking for anyone with experience with this issue who may have found some tips or workarounds. thanks, jamie ...Show All

• Visual Studio "msdn help" for Visual Studio 2005 versus "msdn help" Visual Studio 2003

  Does the MSDN Help for MS Visual Studio Standard 2005 duplicate the MSDN Help for MS Studio Professional 2003 Basically, I would like to uninstall MSDN Help 2003, it it's "covered" in MSDN Help 2005, so as to free up valuable disk space. well technically yes however there may have been some additions or modifications for .NET 2.0. As well as this, if you try to show the help for VS2003 and you have uninstalled it, it will not run the .NET 2.0 help file, since its in a different namespace and resource ...Show All

• SQL Server Assigning extra information to all database table fields

  I'm an experienced desktop app programmer, but fairly new to database programming. I'm working with C#/SQL right now. I understand the concept of a lookup table, as in storing a two-character state (such as CA) in a field in one table, and then being able to get the full state name (such as California) from a second table: Table: Address AddressID int <PK> StateCode char(2) <FK> ... Table: State StateCode char(2) <PK> StateName varchar(25) My question: is there some similar way to be able to provide just about every field of every table with a means of holding common, extra information For instance, let's say I wanted to store, say, an extended name and some special code with every field in th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databinding and the TemplateField Element.

    Hi, I'm a new boy to website design in general and VWD in particular. I'm following an exercise (6-2) in a book called 'Beginning VWD Express 2005, by Paul Sarknas. Anyway, I created a blank project, then added and succesfully configured a sqldatasource control. Then I dropped a Gridview and connected it to the data source. Everything works well, I can see the data displayed as it should be when I build the page. Fine. Then the excercise requires me to insert the following code in order to bind the data - < asp : TemplateField HeaderText ="UnitPrice"> < ItemTemplate > < asp : Label ID ="labelPrice" runat ="server" Text =' <%#Eval( "UnitPrice" )%> '></ asp : ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to add custom fields that works like iterations or areas?

  Is there a way to add custom fields that allow project administrator to add values For example, I really need a "Clients" field that works like the Iterations or Areas, which let user add values as they go. Just to let you know, these are client bit changes and can be uninstalled when SP1 releases, so it is not *that* dangerous, however if it is for larger deployment I agree it does sound dangerous. ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating and Printing Reports

  I've created a data flow where I have linked to an OLE DB Source then created a Flat File Destination. My file is now on my c: drive. I'd like to use that data to create a report, then print to a PDF. How would I do that Currently I was doing this in Access, but I am moving my processes to SSIS. I don't know what you mean by "put a report in the data flow" or "put it in a script task". Can you expand on that There is a way that you can consume a SSIS dataflow from within SSRS but that doesn't seem to be what you're after here. You seem to want to build a report on top of a text file (that just happens to have been created by SSIS). I'm sorry, I don't understand what it is you act ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Trouble with Button Column in DataGridView

  I actually have three problems related to a button column in my datagridview. 1. I created a column in a datagridview to contain a button in every cell. I cannot get the Text to show up on the button. Under Cell Style under the properties for that column, I've selected the color black for ForeColor and SelectionForeColor and as far as I know, everything else should be set for the text to appear in the button. What could I be missing to set 2. I also cannot get the button to work. I have the following code for the datagridview (it also includes code for my last question). The code in question is in red. Do I need to use different code to call the click method in order to open a form (Tracking_List_Entry_Form) and do other tasks ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't connect to sql server 2005 database using vb 2005 express

  I've used Sql Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003 for a few years. I've started a new position and they have access to Sql Server 2005 Standard and Visual Basic 2005 Express which I'd like to use for a new project. So I installed Sql Server 2005 and then VB 2005 Express on my workstation. I didn't choose the Sql Server option for VB Express because I already had Sql Server 2005 Standard installed with a simple database created. I created a simple vb project that justs connects to the database but I get the following error. Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
