• Windows Forms how to create a debug version install

  hi, so, i managed to figure out how to get a C# project to reference either a debug or release assembly. i thought it might be the same for the installer, no go. i really would like to be able to package up the debug version of the built application when the configuration is set to debug, and the release versions when the config is set to release. can this be done if so how /* what i did for the assemblies was to change the following <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\Release\Docking.dll</HintPath> to <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\$(Configuration)\Docking.dll</HintPath> this is located in the .csproj file and it had to be done manually. */ thanks, scott When adding a Project Output Group to a set ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Disabling Visual Studio build events

  Hi, Is there anyway to disable build events defined in Visual Studio projects when the team build is executed If I can override a team build event and do nothing that would be fine, but I need to know which event(s) to override. Thanks! You would need to override the PreBuildEvent property (or PostBuildEvent , depending on which one you are interested in) for your individual projects. Currently, this is not particularly simple, since there is no hook for passing custom properties to individual solutions/projects. Instead, you would need to override our CoreCompile target, as described in the following post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=607657&SiteID=1 . You would want to ...Show All

• Visual Basic Double-clicking forms in VS VB.NET 2005

  When double-clicking a form file in VS the default behaviour is to open it in design mode. To edit the source you have to right-click and select "View Code". Is there any way to reverse this so double-clicking opens the source and the designer is only accessible from "View Designer" Since I spend much more time editing the source this would be a relief. Thanks from me also. This was annoying the hell out of me.. You've made a frustrated developer happy ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions accessing file on disk

  I want to access file on disk without getting it onto ram. i guess i'll hv to get it on virual memory and do it. Am i right if yes how do i do that language preffered: c# or c++ There is no such thing as "without getting it into ram". Even if you use "virtual memory" (probably you are thinking of memory mapped files) parts of the file will still be loaded in ram. To use memory mapped files see the following Windows API functions: CreateFileMapping - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366537.aspx MapViewOfFile - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366761.aspx UnmapViewOfFile - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366882.aspx And an example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/l ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can'nt execute DeviceApp.exe on HP(JPN) Mobile5.0 PPC

  I created a test Mobile5.0 PPC program by VS2005. It's a simple "Hello" program. On the emulator that runs well. I deployed it to the device and then tryed to run.

• Visual Studio Team System Integrated Code Analysis with Team Build

  I have a 'Debug|Any CPU' build with Code Analysis enabled in the configuration, and in the TFSBuild.proj script. The code analysis runs and I end up with a *.codeanalysis file with the warnings/errors. The code analysis results do not show up in the build details screen like shown at this site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718459.aspx I only end up with: Result details for Any CPU/Debug Associated changesets Associated work items There is no "Compilation and code analysis errors and warnings" as described on that page.

• Visual C++ Problem with CString Variable

  I am using a dialog class which is derived from another generic dialog class which itself is derived from CDialog This class contains many CString varibles and it is working fine. Later I added another CString variable. Then also the corresponding dialog is properly opening(Modal Dialog), but after closing the dialog I am getting the following Assertion: Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the 'dlg' was corrupted When I click Retry it is taking me to the next statement from where the dialog is initiated using DoModal() method. Here I found one strange behaviour. If I put any char , int or float variable before this CString member variable I am not getting any error message.

• Visual Basic Getting multiple images from one

  I vaguely remember the ability in VB6 to load a single image, specify the number of rows and columns, and then have access to a 'grid' of images from that image. It was useful for loading a number of toolbar images from a single one (making it easy for custom skins etc). Could anyone please give me more information on doing this in VB.NET 2005 (EE). Sorry for the lack of detail - thanks! Hi Rezzie This is a a method that I wrote for VB.NET 2005 that will create a single row of images from one image. I hope it will do the job or you'll be able to modify it according to your requirments.

• SQL Server Wrong totals in named sets

  Hi In BI Development Studio I create a name set with this sintax: [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL3].[Tiempo Mantencion] [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL3] has another two members instead of [Tiempo Mantencion] After that I create a calculated member with this SUM ([SET Tiempo Mantencion] , [Measures].[HORAS JUSTIFICADAS]) It works fine in almost all cells in the cube, but when I ask for the others two members of [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL3] it does NOT returns NULL it returns the same total of [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL3].[Tiempo Mantencion]. When I open one this members (it exists a sub level named [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL4]) the cube show a null cell in the subitems (thats right) and the [CATALOGO].[CATALOGONIVEL3].[Tiempo Mante ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) blend project to VS to xbap - how?

  I have created a project in Blend. It has a xaml file and some codebehind which is c#. I now want to create an xbap. I have VS installed but have no idea how to create the xbap. I open up the project in VS and get lots of warnings and the project will compile and run. I then right click the project and choose publish and go through a wizard which creates a bunch of files that dont mean a great deal to me. On one site I saw that it was possible to look manually create the xbap instead of using the wizard - could someone point me in the right direction in VS on where this is or better still any tutorials out there It used to be nice and easy as I used EID to create the xbap but with Blend its not possible and you have to now learn V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System XSD Schema Designer in a VS Database Project

  I have a Visual Studio Database project (SQL Server 2005) that contains a script to create an XML SCHEMA COLLECTION. Fine so far. However, this XML schema is to be used in application code too and so I wanted to create an XSD file and use it for both the application AND the DB script (i.e. I dont want the schema defined in two places). I changed my script to use my new XSD file instead of a string literal and that works fine too. However, my problems started when I decided to keep the XSD file in the DB project together with the script. Firstly, when I right-click the XSD file, I don't get the usual "View Code" option and secondly, when I double click the file, the designer opens and contains an error message:- The XM ...Show All
