• Visual Studio Team System 'Value does not fall within the expected range' error message when using the Performance Report

  Hi folks I am trying to get a performance report on a C# project that is referencing a C++ Class Library. If the C++ Class Library is added to the C# Project as a reference I get the error: "value does not fall within the expected range" And the performance window behaves strangely until I restart VS. I don't even have to use anything in the C++ Class Library - just the reference to it kills the profiler. To replicate this simply do the following: 1. Create a new C-Sharp Windows Console Application in a new Solution 2. Add to the solution a C++ CLR Class Library Project 3. Add a Console.Writeline("Hello World\n"); to the C-Sharp main() 4. Open the Performance Explorer and use the wizard to profile the C-Sharp App ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Next CTP? Will it include a the much anticipated provider?

  When can we expect the next CTP of Linq Will it be with the August drop that has been hinted at for ADO.NET Entities Will it include the full provider model so that we can begin building out support for databases other then SQL Server Will it support SQL Everywhere Thanks, Steve I have answered the CTP question in another post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=550356&SiteID=1 LINQ to SQL (aka DLinq) will not be in the August ADO.NET Entities CTP. So we will be looking at other avenues for the DLinq provider model. We are also looking at SQL Everywhere support as a separate item but haven't made a decision yet. Thanks. Dinesh ...Show All

• Windows Forms Any way to suppress click getting called before double click?

  I have a graphics drawing tool where click = select, double click = open a dialog. Double click fires click (this is all done inside a panel control) -- which means my object gets selected before the dialog opens. It doesn't seem possible to over-ride this behavior -- is this true I played with figuring out the clicks and double clicks myself with a timer approach (e.g capture the tick count in mouse down, start a timer in mouse up, count clicks based on the delta time between the timer firing and the mouse down etc.) and although this worked so-so in a 20 line program it completely falls apart in the 30,000+ line application. Overriding WndProc and doing everything .net already does would seem to lead me down the same road. I' ...Show All

• Visual Studio ValidateMultiplicity and inheritance

  Hello - I am having some issues with child domain classes properly inheriting mutliplicity validation methods from their base classes. I have a DomainClass, ParentClass, with a relationship to some other DomainClass, TargetClass1. Multiplicity is validated as I expect. I have another DomainClass, ChildClass1, that inherits from ParentClass. ChildClass1 does not add any more relationships. The multiplicity rules from ParentClass are validated as I expect. I have a third DomainClass, ChildClass2, that also inherits from ParentClass. ChildClass2 adds a relationship to some other DomainClass, TargetClass2. The multiplicity rules for ChildClass2's relationships to TargetClass2 are validated as I expect. However, ChildClass2's multip ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 SP1 for which edition ?

  I erroneously posted this in the .Net setup forum so I am reposting it here. There is a Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=bb4a75ab-e2d4-4c96-b39d-37baf6b5b1dc&DisplayLang=en. The brief description says: "This download installs Service Pack 1 for MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Standard, Professional, Team Editions." but then I read:under Overview: " This download installs Service Pack 1 for MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Team Suite." This is confusing. Is this service pack only for the Team Edition or is it for the standard, professional, and team editions Gabriel Lozano-Moran wrote: It is the service pack fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems with writing data to an Excel file

  I searched online, and find some materials about exploring data to Excel using C#, however, it usually relates to ADO.NET or datagrid... In my application, first I receive data from the COM port and then after some comparation, I should write each data I received to the desired column of the excel file.. I use the streamwriter to write data to excel file using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter((@"C:\" + DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString()+".xls"),true)) As I need to record the date when the application runs, I have to name the file as the current date, so it is quite different from many examples to create a new Excel application as: private Excel.Application m_objExcel = null; m_objExcel = new Excel.Ap ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to import vCards?

  Hi all, I want to import vCards in my Vb.Net 2005 application. I tried this code to read the adress: Dim adress as String Dim adress_start as Integer Dim adress_end as Integer adress_start = vCardString.IndexOf("ADR;TYPE=HOME;") adress_end = vCardString.IndexOf(vbCr, vCardString.IndexOf("ADR;TYPE=HOME;")) adress = vCardString.Substring(adress_start, adress_end - adress_start) It works, but I think there is a nicer method to do that. Could you help me Thank you. Instead of the string parsing, which probably would work, you could also try a RegEx.Match. The tricky part there is figuring out the regex expression. You would also want to test the performance of the simple stri ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing double value from a string

  Hi all, I need to parse a string which is in the following format (example): -0.0004 USD/Tonnes Basically, it will be a double value, might be preceded by the negative (-) sign and followed by <Currency>/<Unit of Measure> . The result should be just the double value (with the sign if its there), as in the above example, it should translate to -0.0004 I wanted to know if there is an easy way of doing it in C#, like using the Double.Parse() or the string.Format() methods (I tried them both but couldn't get them to work) Or do I have to parse the string character-by-character to get the required result Thanks in advance, MadMonk P.S.: Apologies if its a silly question, I'm still a newbie in .NET ...Show All

• SQL Server Hide Database Design

  Hi I wanted to see if Microsoft was going to address this problem We as developers want to hide our database design (SQL Express DB) We dont want to rely on the user rights settings to secure the design Most of our clients have admin access which means that they can see the db design We are happy for the design to be available on the server as change control should be given only on the server I am perplexed how this hasnt been addressed Your reply is appreciated T Hi Mike Thanks for that great answer As long as we can setup replication as in SQL Express and manipulate the database with a similar Management tool then it is a good solution and answer How long do you t ...Show All
