• Visual Studio Weird problem when building a project

  Hi, I am trying to build 2 class library projects (I'll call them LibA and LibB) using MSBuild. LibB has a reference to LibA. When I run them through MSBuild using the target code shown below LibA is built without problems but I get the following error when LibB is being built: error BC30002: Type 'LibA' is not defined. The strange thing is that if I build both LibA and LibB from within Visual Studio they both build succcessfully. <Target Name="CoreBuild"> <MSBuild Projects ="@(VBProjectFiles)" ContinueOnError ="false" Properties="Configuration=$(Configuration);ReferencePath=$(ReferencePath)"> </MSBuild> </Target> Any ideas what might be wrong Thanks, dlarkin7 ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies How to use WDS versions from Managed Code?

  Hi, I have a .NET application that needs to search from either WDS v2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 on either Windows XP or Windows Vista RTM. It's like this because I don't know what versions my customers will be using. I have handlers inside my code that detects which version/OS is installed and then uses the correct column names and query formats (as these have changed on each version). For Windows XP I can use this approach, but for Windows Vista (as has been noted elsewhere in this forum) I can't do this anymore - as the WDSQuery COM helper DLL (ISearchDesktop) seems to have been deprecated for the "WDS 3.0 Vista" version. Questions: (1) Are the above statements correct, as in the WDS3.0 version API is called differently whe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DrawableGameComponent ContentManager Member ?

  I was happy to see a GraphicsDevice member in the DrawableGameComponent class. This saves me from getting it through the GameServiceManager, but mostly GameComponents which can draw itself should also be able to load it's graphic contents. I think it would be a good Idea to make the game's Contentmanager also a DrawableGameComponent member like the GraphicsDevice. Made already a feature request for that: https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=244332&SiteID=226 How do you think abaout that It's handy but there're scenarios where it's not good. GameComponents should be easily reusable and distributable. Often it needs contents of itself. The component user won't want its cont ...Show All

• Windows Forms Center label on maximized form and wordwrap text

  Should be fairly simple but because today is Monday I can't seem to see it.... My form is borderless and maximized. I have a single label that I would like to be horiz and vertically centered on the form. I'd like the text in the label to wordwrap and not go off the screen. Can someone please help me with this Thanks ! Set the label's AutoSize property to False. To get its text vertically centered in the form, independent of the amount of text it displays, you'll need to measure the vertical size of the displayed text.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Architecture - what it is and what it will be

  As an initial discussion which can be helpful to all of us I would like to hear opinions of my colleagues regarding the basic question of just what is Architecture and what we would like it to be in the future. Regards, Behzad I we ask 100 architects what architecture is, we will get close to 100 answers. Several well-known architects and organizations defines architecture in the lines of “architecture is about the structure of things that are important and hard to change, their components, and how the components fit and work together to fulfil some purpose” I agree that architecture in some levels is more about business and that it is technology-agnostic. We talk about structural options and selections, their relat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Multiple Columns and Page Breaks

  I have a report multiple columns. I set a group to Page break at end . However instead of breaking the page it just continues to the next column. Is this intended behavior, because it is misleading. So, if that's the intended behavior, how does one get true page breaks in a multi-column layout I need to have two columns for data flow, but need the groups to start on new pieces of paper to hand out to different people. ...Show All
