• Visual Studio Express Editions VB.NET 2005 EXPRESS EDITION SERVICE PACK

  I understand that a service pack is being prepared for Visual Studio 2005. Will this service pack also apply to VB.Net 2005 Express Edition If not, is there an intention to provide a service pack a good question. I believe it does apply for the Express editions also, as I am looking at the "applies to" table. All VS 2005 products are requiring the Service Pack and the Express editions is listed ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums DEP blockin Live Messenger 8.1

  Why does DEP keep block my Live Messenger how do i overcome this problem I'm having the same problem with all versions of msn. I upgraded to Flash 9,0,28,0 - no change. I tried the 'run as administrator' workaround mentioned above and the box is grayed out, so I cannot use this solution. I tried going into system>advanced>performance>settings>DEP and manually adding the msn executable to the allow list but vista tells me that this program must be run with DEP enabled.  Running vista home premium. I'm sorry, but this is just funny. Why would microsoft release vista when its own programs don't work on it. This is a clean install too - straight out of the box.  ...Show All

• Visual C++ CRichEditView::OnCreate

  I am using MFC single document with base class CRichEditView. I want to display some text on my editor when the editor first opened. I tried this way but the folowing fragment does not set the editor text on start up int CMyView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CRichEditView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; // TODO: Add your specialized creation code here GetRichEditCtrl().SetWindowText("Hello World"); return 0; } what do u think is the problem. is there any function call that will reset windows text after call of OnCreate. Because you are using the doc view architecture the function OnNewDocument or DeleteCOntents might do this. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Creating an Object

  Hi All, I have class, which is used for synchronization purpose the class is declared as follows Lock(CriticalSection& crSection) : m_CriticalSection(crSectio) { crSection.Lock() } The code will unlock the critical section in it's destructor. I'm using the class as follows in another class which has an critical section object Lock(m_CriticalSection); // Note that I'm not specifying the object name But it's saying that no default constructor available It's working fine for a class like this class CBase { public: CBase(int i ){cout<<"Ctor";} ~CBase(){cout<<"dtor";} }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { CBase(10); return 0; } What would be the problem Viorel. wrote: This is because y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft.Tools.FxCop.Sdk.Introspection.RuleUtilities.IsInterface -> Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk.Introspection.RuleUtilities.OOPS!..

• SQL Server Where is SSIS package stored?

  I have used Import-Export wizard to import some data from a flat file into a db table. When prompted, I have chosen to store the package in SQL Server. The package is executing correctly, scheduled to run (job) once a day...the problem is that I can not see this package in EM and I do not know how to open it in BIDS (since i can not point to a certain file). I can see the package in msdb sysdtspackages90 table, but nowhere else in EM - under management->Maintenance Plans I can see the packages created for db maintenance, but not the one created using import-export wizard. I can se the GUID in the job (command line tab) but the search for the GUID # does not yield any results. The searc for .dtsx does not show this package either. Where ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Technical Problem when transporting Project

  I have built a project on a PC running Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. I also installed this software onto my laptop (from the same CD and registered it fine too). But when i save the project from my PC and close Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition i sometimes get errors about the program (doesn't bother me that much and i just send the error reports via the prompt). I then copy the solution that i have developed in the Projects folder to my memory stick and copy that into my Laptop's Projects folder, but when i goto open Life.sln or Life.vbproj (one folder deeper) i get an error that says this (BTW, it's the same error both ways [so both times it's Life.vbproj]): Unable to read the project file 'Life.vbproj'.

• SQL Server AdventureWorks OLAP Cubes samples missing

  Hi there, I am setting up a demo with Scorecard Manager 2005. After days of struggle, the installation seems to be fine, I can publish all the two dimensional scorecards. But the sample AdventureWorks OLAP cubes do not seem to be accessible or they don't exist - to be more exact, Scorecard Manager is able to log on to the SQL Server database called AdventureWorksDW, but cannot find any cubes. I downloaded the latest SQL Server 2005 samples here  and followed all the instructions to the letter. I did not get any errors while deoplying the AdventureWorks solution in the Business Intelligence Development Studio. One concern related to the samples is that the AdventureWorksAS sample is not available. I thought that the DW database i ...Show All

• Visual C# ( ), { } and [ ]??

  Hi, Can someone please provide a detailed explanation of ( ),  { } and [ ]  and when each one should be used I have some knowledge of what they mean as I see them used quite often in different parts of the code. Sometimes I see them used in a rather confusing way but because the compilers never complained I had to assume that they were used correctly. Is there a standard for using them   Thanks in advance Check http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336809.aspx . Usage is spelled out explicitly in the language specifications. Although reading the spec can be a bit dry at times, it is quite useful. There is also some language tutorials there. Usage ...Show All

• Windows Forms Shell Extension Context Menu in C# strange error.
