• Visual Studio Express Editions Issues to watch out btw 1.1 and 2.0

  I'm not very sure where to post this qns and i'm using C# so i think this would be the approriate forum to post. I am told to develop some applications using C# in .Net 1.1. However with the usage of express edition, i would be require to use 2.0. I would like to know the possibility of compactability issues if my development is done in 2.0 and deployment over 1.1 framework Appreciate any help.

• Visual C++ impossible mistake

  I wrote a program with Visual C++ to find certain numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, any number you want to find. However, if you input any number over 46, it begins adding positive numbers and getting negative numbers. Someone please help, I cant't find anything wrong. Here is the code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int T,A,B,C; A=0; B=1; cin>>T; cin.ignore(); T--; for (T=T; T>0; T=T-3) { C=A+B; A=B+C; B=C+A; cout<< "C=" <<C<< "\n" << "A=" <<A<< "\n" << "B=" <<B<< "\n" ; //this code outputs the variables throughout the program for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remote debugging - timeout period exceeded

  I'm having trouble getting remote debugging working between two machines that aren't in the same domain. Local machine is XP with VS2005. The machine is in a domain, and so is the user. Remote machine EDMDEMO is Win2K in a workgroup. The remote debugging monitor is running interactively in a local account. Local userids exist on both machines to match the domain user id, and all 3 passwords match. I can browse the shares of the machines without any problems. The local can connect to the remote machine, and it shows up in the remote debugging monitor as "EDMDEMO\username"connected. This waits for about a minute then returns the error (on the host): --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio ------------ ...Show All

• SQL Server ISNULL ( ) support in SQL Server mobile?

  Is ISNULL ( check_expression , replacement_value ) supported in SQL Server 2005 Mobile edition. If not, then why the following statement executes without any error: -  " select ISNULL(a,12) as test from tableA " Where 'a' is int column. However, even though i do not get an error, it doesn't behaves as expected. I mean the result which i get is : - a. If the column is not null, the value in 'Test' (resultset) is False. b. If the column is null, the value in 'Test' (resultset) is true. The expected result was that the Null values would get replaced with the specified replacement value. The Questions are: -  1. Is ISNULL( )  supported in SQL Server mobile edition 2. If not, then why it gets executed without error 3. If yes, t ...Show All

• .NET Development CSharpCodeProvider and temporary files

  I'm using CSharpCodeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource() to compile C# scripts from within a Windows service. Everything works great from my machine but when deployed to our test servers, this error occurs: Compilation errors: Compilation failed:error CS1619: Cannot create temporary file 'c:\WINNT\system32\CSCDBC.tmp' -- Access is denied. Is there a way to specify where this temporary file is generated I've tried everything. TempFiles collection doesn't do it. GenerateInMemory doesn't do it. I don't have the code anymore. I've followed many examples and someone else ran into the same problem. You only have to use Reflector to see it's not using the parameters.

• .NET Development Best Practices question.

  I want to use typed datasets in the projects that I am working on, however ( and this may just be a symptom of my .Net ignorance ), in order to create the typed dataset I need to specify database and connection info at design time. This can be an issue since I am developing against a test database, so as not to disturb production. What I have done to get around this is to change the connection information at run time, based on values that I am storing in the registry. Are there any better ideas out there for this kind of a scenario Sorry, I looked for the connection property in the table adapter cause the code completition didn't show it but I was wrong, I saw it private instead of internal.

  If you build a project, then later delete content you no longer want in the project from the project explorer, then build the project again, does the old pipline converted content remain in the bin folders I was wondering if he was removing them from the project to speed up the build rather than becuase he didn't want them any more. e.g. see how long a full build of spacewar takes due to all the content. I was just pointing out that they would not be depolyed to the xbox in that case. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services SP2 CTP "Select All" back in preview but not on web

  Hi I've installed SQL Server Express 2005 SP2 CTP specifically because I require the "Select All" checkbox to reappear in multi-value parameters.

• Visual Basic Is there any way to autoclick with the mouse?

  Hi. It's me again. I was wondering, (and I'll probably get a simple answer that I could've figured out on my own.) is there any way to make the mouse move to a certain point on the screen, and then click by itself Thanks. You can do a small program with a timer and use the Cursor.ToString() to change the text of your form every 10mseconds. Then use the mouse to go to the button you need to know its coordinates then record the coordinates. Private Sub Timer1_Tick ( ByVal sender As System .Object, ByVal e As System . EventArgs ) Handles Timer1 . Tick Me . Text = Cursor . Position . ToString () End Sub You can use it to decide where your next program should clic ...Show All
