• Visual Studio Team System How to migrate a TeamProject for .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.0 ?

  Hello! I have a TeamProject that has been created with VS 2005 and .NET 2.0. If I install now the .NET 3.0 extensions for VS 2005, will it be possible to use the .NET 3.0 features like WCF And after installing .NET 3.0 extensions will the TeamProject automatically become a .NET 3.0 application Or do I have to install the .NET 3.0 extensions for VS 2005 ***BEFORE*** I create the TeamProject in order to use WCF Best regards CSharpNewbie22 Put it this way, I've happily made a project use WCF by simply adding a reference to the assembly System.ServiceModel which is put into the GAC as part of the .NET 3.0 installation.

• Visual C++ How to set Multithreaded DLL compiler option on compile time ?

  Hi I am having a little problem. I have searched a web and msdn but didn't find any real solution. I have a static lib, with bunch of classes and functions. What I want to do is, when I create a new empty project and link to one header, it automaticly links to all required libs and sets compiler option. Multithreaded dll is the only thing I have no idea how to set.  I know that this option is defined as _DLL. So is there any way I can do that   P.S. I am using Visual Studio 6.0 The VS2005 CRT libraries are all multithreaded. The single-threaded versions of the CRT are no longer supported. #pragma comment(linker,...) is used to inject linker comments into obj and ...Show All

• .NET Development specifying custom tracelistener needs strong assembly name

  I've build a trace listener that traces out message to a rotating log file. The thing works fine. The deployment packages nicely registers it in the GAC so that I can reuse it wherever I like. What I would like to do is add it to the <system.diagnostics> section of for instance an simple application. The problem I have is that I have to specify a strong assembly name. like: < add name ="testGateway" type ="UnitedMobile.Diagnostics.LoggingTraceListener,UnitedMobile.Diagnostics.LoggingTraceListener, Version=1.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e861178d28f74af2" initializeData ="c:\log\Refund\{0:yyyyMMddHH}.log;1" /> For for instance the System.Diagnostics it is necesary to only specify the weak name: < ad ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies "Index Location" change does not work in WDS Advanced settings

  We need to change the location that WDS stores its index. The WDS "options", advanced tab appears to offer this option, but when you enter a new location, it does not actually change anything. WDS continues to store its index in the same location. How can we make this work It is very insecure as it stands, and our company will not be able to use WDS if we cannot change the location of index storage. Thank you. Is there some other way to "restart" the service that I am missing-- what do you do Thank you. BTW, we just uninstalled WDS from several of our computers because system resources were suddenly overwhelmed by WDS and we had multiple crashes. I do not know why. Thank you. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Equivalent of ShowWindowAsync in .net

  Does any body know equivalent of the following in .net ShowWindowAsync. Which is used to maximize the control by getting the handle. Thanks & Regards, M.S.Basha .NET does not have an equivalent for ShowWindowAsync. If you need it you'll need to p-invoke it: In C#: [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern int ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow); In VB: Declare Auto Function ShowWindowAsync Lib "user32.dll" ( ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As Integer ) As Integer   Note that you can maximize a form by setting its WindowState property to WindowState.Maximized. You only need ShowWindowAsync if you have a handle to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C vs C#

  Currently I'm taking a C class at my university and I was wondering how different is C# from C code wise. Thanks Sebastian I started programming about 30 years ago with Basic. Many years later when I learned C I found it a bit different as far as the syntax was concerned, but conceptually I could do the same things in pretty much the same way. C had a few advanced features that let you get closer to the hardware and optimize your code, so you needed a better understanding of the machine to get into that part of it. Learning C++ and other object oriented languages has been a huge challenge for me. The difference between C and C++ is a much larger gap than going from BASIC to C. I felt the sam ...Show All

• SQL Server Publishing Web Application

  Hello to everybody. I got a problem like this: I developped a project using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition on a XP pro x64 Machine using a developpemet data area on a SQL 2005 Express Edition. Everything is ok, even the user and profile management. But when I try to publish my application on IIS (we're talking about a little Intranet), I get my problems. I think is important to say that the server is a Windows Server 2003 and data (database reproduced as a backup of the developpement one) are under an SQL 2005 Standard. The strange thing is that by publishing the "site" VS create a DB under SQL Std named with the path of local ASPNETDB.MDF. I can reach everything, all data are ok, but when I pass the login page g ...Show All
