• Visual C++ VS2k5 .Net - Recompling previous versions Problem

  Hi all, I wrote a program in VS2k3 .Net a couple of years ago, and recently I wrote a program in VS2k5 using the ver. v2.0.50727. of .Net. The thing is when install the program complied in VS2k5 .Net on a computer that is running the program complied in VS2k3 .Net, I receive an error: Different version of .Net required. So I install the newest version of .Net, but then the program compied in VS2k3 .Net doesn't want to work So my question is, everytime Microsoft releases a new .Net framework, does the whole program have to be re-complied / re-written Thank you Regards Programm3r Program written in VS2003 can run under .NET Framework 1.1 or later. Install .NEt Framework 2.0, both programs can run under it. .NET Framew ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Changing

  I made a simple class exposing a strong typed data table and a row of the same table. I then add a data source mapping the class and I can see the table and row details in the data source window. If I remove the property exposing the data row, I no longer see the fields in the data dable. Why The code below assumes you have created a strong typed dataset for an access database with a table called MYTABLE using vb2005 wizard with only default choices.The class as it is does obviously nothing, it is useful only to exemplify the problem. Public Class Class3 Private myData As New dsMYDATABASE.MYTABLEDataTable Private myValues As dsMYDATABASE.MYTABLERow Public Sub New() End Sub Public Property DataTable() As dsMYDATABAS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Work Item Controls - How can you have one custom work item control trigger the InvalidateDatasource() method of another?

  I want to create two custom work item controls. Each control will be a drop down list box. In the InvalidateDatasource() method of Control1, I retrieve information from a database, populate the drop down list box, check to see if a value has already been selected for the list box, and if so, set the list box equal to that value. I've got this working (which is pretty cool!). Now, based on the contents of the first drop down list box, I want to filter what contents are in the second drop down list box, called Control2 (picture Control1 being a list of states, and Control2 being a list of cities, specific to which state is selected in Control1). How do I, from Control1.InvalidateDatasource(), trigger Control2.InvalidateDatasource() Con ...Show All

• .NET Development Strange XmlSerializer error

  Dear all, I am programming in VB.NET , using the .NET Framework 2.0 on a Windows Vista machine running VS 2005 with the SP1 beta applied. I have a VB class which was derived from an .XSD schema using the XSD.exe tool. I am able to instantiate objects from this class and build by "XML" object up using it, without too much difficulty. However, when I come to serialize the output to an XML stream, it fails, with a FileNotFoundException on the serialize line, e.g.: Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer( GetType (eGov.IRenvelope)) Where eGov is my class namespace, and the IRenvelope is the class within the namespace that corresponds to my object which I am attempting to serialize. The interesting thing is, tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugger opens wrong files

  I am running a relatively large unmanaged VC++ solution (~110 projects) in Visual Studio 2005 which builds a handful of dependant libraries, unit tests, and a couple sample executables. As one might imagine, this solution contains a number of files in different projects which share the same name ("test.cpp", for instance). When stepping though code, the debugger has the tendancy to bring up the wrong file. I can set a break point in a given file which is respected by the debugger, but it then proceeds to follow the execution path, correctly following line numbers but in the wrong source file. This behavior suggests to me that maybe the system is using some kind of hash based on file name which has some-how fallen out of sync with the files ...Show All

• Windows Forms Delete all the files while UnInstall

  Hi All I created a setup project for a windows application with lot more files with respective directories. The DLL files and other few files are not being deleted while doing uninstall/Remove from setup. How to remove these folders and files while doing uninstall/remove. Some time I thought we can call a batch file to remove all the directories and files but for this we need to know where our application is installed (e.g C:\Program Files\MyApplication ). It would be grateful if any helps.... Thanks The best way to save the installation folder is to create a registry item that contains the value [TARGETDIR], like that in the brackets and case-sensitive. That will res ...Show All
