• Visual Studio Install problem

  Hi, After my admin rigths problem, I found probably another trouble. I don't have enough space on C: to install Visual Studio Team Ed. So I decided to install my new products on "d:/programs". Then I installed VS on "d:/programs/vs" and VS SDK on "d:/programs/vssdk". I was very happy to create and build successfully a new dsl project. Unfortunately, when I try to run it, VS said just : "unable to find a component. re-install the application" ! Wonderful ! Do you know where this trouble comes from Thanks, Olivier. ps : I used the "by default" install of vs2005 Hi, hmmm, it looks like you are not alone in this. Have a look at this post . I am not sure ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All

• .NET Development Assmebly Resolve

  I have lately started running into a very random issue for which I cannot find enough online help (from blogs, etc.). This issue is quite unpredictable, and I have encountered it only on Windows Server 2003 (more notably, IIS 6.0). Here is my current environment setup: 1) I have a host application with a default implementation - all it does is catches the OnArrival() event of the SMTP sink and captures the email attachment which is then parsed and passed on to an interface method. 2) Other developers can inherit this method and do whatever with the attachment - at run-time, the host application loads the specific library that implemented the interface method using the AssemblyResolve event. This must be done because the CDO COM object is i ...Show All

• Visual Studio prompt user from MSBuild command line?

  Hello, If I use msbuild.exe from the commandline, is there a way to prompt the user For example, if they issue a Build command, say for the Production configuration, can I say, "Are you sure you want to execute the Build for the Production environment " Thanks!! Not in my opinion either. Looking to see if there is a way to prompt on the command line...Rather not have to code a custom task for it, but I suppose if I did, I could include it in the <Project> element's InitialTargets attribute to ensure it runs each time, but I would need a way to hook into the command line. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Event Handlers and Raiseevent issues

  Hi, I seem to be missing something here!! I am looking at the process of Event driven coding and I am a bit confused. If I understand it correctly all I need to do is: 1) Within the form that will raise the event declare the event with the event key word and raise the event Public Class Form2 Public Event xevent() Sub raiseevents() RaiseEvent xevent() End Sub End Class Within form1 create an instance of form2 with the withevents keyword Public Class Form1 Dim WithEvents eclass As New Form2 Private Sub eclass_xevent() Handles eclass.xevent MsgBox( "test" ) End Sub End Class The issue I have is the above only works if I call the form2 raiseevents ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unpublished changes in Project

  I'm using Project to track my work items in Foundation. I open my Project file and want to do a refresh. I click refresh and it tells me that I will lose unpublished changes and whether I want to proceed or do an update. My first question would be, is there any way for me to see what the unpublished changes are I go ahead and do the update and I notice in the status bar where it tells me that it is updating 1 of 5 items and then it shows a status of doing a refresh. When I go to close the project file, I'm prompted to publish my changes to Team Foundation before closing. I haven't changed anything so I don't understand why I'm being prompted to publish changes. That's why I would like to see what it thinks needs to be published. Tha ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView CalendarColumn example doesn't handle keyboard input

  Hey all- I have a DataGridView in which I wanted to host a DateTimePicker, so I used the example from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx Has anyone gotten this example working properly for keyboard input It works great when you use the mouse, but under certain circumstances the value from the editing control doesn't get back into the datagridview. To reproduce: Enter the date cell with the mouse Type a new month with the numeric keys only Hit Tab or enter to leave the cell. Now, the above works fine if you leave the editing control with the mouse, or if you use the up/down arrow keys to change the month value. I did some debugging in the editing control, and it appears that if the fo ...Show All

• .NET Development Using client to handle server events

  I'm trying to use a client to handle an event on on a server. I have managed to do this successfully, however my solution seems somewhat convoluted... 1. Register server channel and all appropriate well known types on the server , and register client channel and create a new object from the server on the client . 3. Instantiate a new object from my custom-made EventProxy class and assign a delegate from this class to an event on the server. 4. Use this EventProxy object to handle the event fired on the server , then within this action, fire another event on the EventProxy class (so, we're on the server at this point). 5. Assign a delegate on the client to handle the event fired by the EventProxy class; so no ...Show All

• Visual Studio Get Latest from IDE doesn't always Get Latest

  Here is our setup: Development machine: WindowsXP, VS2005, VSS2005 SourceSafe Server: Windows2003, VSS2005 Peridically when developers get latest version of a project or even the whole solution from the VS2005 IDE, it will not get the latest version of all files. There have been instances where one developer will check in a change and the other developer tries to get the latest version and the IDE does not get it. No error..it just didnt get the latest. Then if they try it again on the project or even on the specific file, it will work. So in some cases, it might take 2-3 tries of Get Latest for it to actually work. Anyone ever seen this occur or is there a known issue with VS2005 and VSS2005 with Get Latest thanks, ...Show All
