• Visual C# input data to website

  Ok right now I have to configure routers manually by inserting the exact same data into a router's configuration panel (website on router) then swap out the configured router with one that needs the exact same setup and redo this process over and over. I would like to write an application that fills in all the needed boxes,selects values from drop down menu's and fills in any other information and presses the save & restart button for me is this possible I initially though about trying to find the file on the router that its writing to thinking making its one config file maybe if thats the case I could just write to the file but im not entirely sure. right your first idea sounds like what I want to do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Failed to merge deleted files on baseless merge

  Hi, I'm trying to perform baseless merge based on specific Changeset. The changeset that I'm trying to merge contains folders/files with delete Change Type When I'm operating the baseless merge the only files that I succeed to merge to the target are those with the Edit or Add Change Type – the baseless merge ignore all the deleted files that contained in the changeset. This is the syntax of my merge operation: tf merge /recursive /force /version:CSNumber /baseless source destination Does the baseless merge ignore deleted files Thanks in advance, Shmulik. Merge is about porting changes from one tree to another . That's similar, but not the sam ...Show All

• Visual Basic RTS and DTR serial port control

  Hi I'm back on VB after a long while. I'm having problem controlling the RTS and DTR signals of the serial port. I'm trying to use RTS (maybe DTR as an alternative) to control an RS485 comms data direction. I have set up 2 buttons as a test with the following code: Private Sub Functionkey4_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Functionkey4.Click SerialPort1.RtsEnable = True End Sub Private Sub Functionkey5_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Functionkey5.Click SerialPort1.RtsEnable = False End Sub the program gets to both routines when the buttons are clicked but the RTS pin does not change, the port is wor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trying To Use Solution Folders for Projects

  Good Morning All, I've been trying to use solution folders to structure our solutions into sensible chunks with much difficulty. Apologies for the dis-jointed nature of this post, but I'm trying to get down as much information as I can. As the solution template only allows physical folders to be created I've initially created all four of my projects in the solution's root. I have four arguments which hold Project types and are evaluated "OnBeginActions" for each of the projects. These look up the projects by name using the ProjectByPathExpressionProvider, passing in the name of the project to the PathExpression attribute. These arguements are evaluated at the beginning of the actions block, and are correct at that time. The ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2003 - Connecting

  I have Visual Studio 2003 and had used it successfully with MSDE. I recently upgraded to SQL 2005 Express and cannot seem to connect to the SQL server. it appears in the list of servers on localhost, but when I try to create a new database it tells me that it "cannot create databases on this server." It will not even open up any existing databases. I have .NET 2.0 installed. I uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to help. I feel I must be missing something, but do not know what. I no longer have the MSDE installation files, so I hope I can get Studio to talk to SQL Express. Any help is appreciated. There is no other server listed within VS 2003.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Good Teaching books...

  Hello, I am a beginner at programming with limited experience in VB back when VB had a free version (cannot remember the name of it though :) As a beginner, I am looking for a book that will be targeted for beginners that will explain everything. I am halfway through the beginner tutorials offered from learnvisualstudio.net but those tutorials are vague and I would like to have information from a book to reference much easier. If I could get people to please supply information on good beginners books it would be much appreciated. My areas of interest are game programming, but I would like to focus on applications for now to get a basic understanding of programming. Thank you to all who help! I found new si ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vastly decreased multiuser Jet DB Performance under Vista

  Testing our VB6-based database application under Vista (Business Pro, Release version, Clean install on fresh partition), all seems largely well with one very noticeable exception: Multiuser Jet 4.0 database access is vastly decreased (often involving several minute waits for simple queries that generally run in one or two seconds); on the other hand, single user access seems quite comparable to its former speed, as does general file system/file server performance. Is this a known issue with Jet 4.0 under Vista Can anyone suggest any potential workarounds or know of any factors which might be responsible for the performance hit -Pete Thanks very much for your help. From the evidence available, it would ap ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't reference textbox in table hidden column

  Hi, I have a table in my report where I put a column with a text box with a RunningValue expression (in detail zone). I reference this textbox in page footer to show the totals for every page. The problem is that if I hide the table column (because it's used only for calculation) the page footer shows nothing. Instead if I only hide the RunningValue textbox I get correct totals at page footer, but there is the overhead of space occupied by the column. Is there a way Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BVT's without Team System Tester Edition - Possible?

  I'm trying to create a Team Build that will run all my unit tests as part of the build. The problem is though, when going through the wizard it allows me to select the vsmdi file, but there is no test lists available in the drop-down (and since I don't have team tester edition I don't think I can create new test lists). We can still run the tests in our Team Software Dev Edition, is there a way to make a Team Build that will also run all the tests as part of the build process without purchasing Team Tester Edition You can now run tests as part of your build without using .vsmdi files.

The issue is that i dont want to apply the EndpointBehavior to the MEX endpoint as it is not needed there. Is there a way to determine when interating over the endpoints if the endpoint is the mex binding and therby not applying the behavior to it Thanks Dave Brian, Why do you say looking at the namespace and name are the right way to do this rather than looking to see if the implemented contarct is of type IMetaDataExchange ...Show All
