• Visual Studio Debug | Start Without Debugging missing

  Upgrading from VB 03 to VB 05, and one of the virtual labs says... "Select the Debug | Start Without Debugging menu command to run the application." There is no such option in my VS 2005 Professional, and I don't see how to add it. Please advise Bob Hi That's interesting. I haven't used this feature in VS 2005 before but I was convinced it existed but even in my Team Suite edition I can't see it. I have also looked in the Options section and don't see any mention of it. Maybe somebody else might be able to shed some light on that. Having said that however, if you hold down Ctrl and press F5 you will be able to start your application without debugging. I tested this by placing a breakpoint on a Form_Load r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Invalid Dos Path error when trying to run Analyze

  Hello all, I'm getting an Invalid Dos Path errror when trying to run Analyze on a SourceSafe database located on a server drive. The one clue is the acutal error (see below): Visual SourceSafe Analyze Version 8.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Invalid DOS path: \\mcweb\sourcefiles\sourcesafe\\\mcweb\sourcefiles\sourcesafe" Obviously the path is bad as it appears to be "doubled-up" as you can see. I just can't find out why this is going on. I've checked the obvious solutions like the srcsafe.ini file and the paths are fine here (i.e. no double-entries just \\mcweb\sourcefiles\sourcesafe for the source path). So where is this path being created and or read I'm running analyze from a workstation, ...Show All

• Smart Device Development SHCreateMenuBar and SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON

  I've used SHCreateMenuBar on WM5.

• Architecture OOP Design Question - Need an opinion...

  I know there is no "100% correct" way to design the following but any suggestions or shared opinions would be appreciated: I want to create a Customer business entity. Should this Customer class only contain properties and simple validation or should it also contain all the business logic and CRUD functions Should I create a separate class called CustomerService that handles logic by passing around and working with the Customer entity Example: How to add a new Customer 1) All domain logic in one Customer object . Customer.Name = "Bla" Customer.Save OR 2) Customer object to hold properties and Service object to perform business logic. Customer.Name = "Bla" CustomerFactory.AddCu ...Show All

• SQL Server Backup hangs in wait-state MSSEARCH

  I'm experiencing a very annoying failure when trying to do a backup - I hope you can help where others (including me) have failed. The setup is a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 version 11.0.8126.0 running on Windows server 2003 Standard edition Service pack 1; it has a SQL-server 2005 version 9.0.2047 running on Windows server 2003 Standard edition Service pack as a back-end.

I tried to stop the MsSearch service on the SharePoint-server, and disabled the Full-Text search on the data ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to retrieve address from Address Bar, change it and then send it back to Address Bar?

  Hi guys! How to retrieve an address of web-page from Address Bar in IE7, then change it w/ my own logic and then send it back to Address Bar in IE7 Thank you. Cheers, Dmitry Alekseenko Hi,   Different Question.... Use a BHO and manipulate the url parameter in the BeforeNavigate2 method. Regards. Another thing to try is to find the Address bar (class name Editbox) using the findwindow api and using a callback to detect the enter key, but I do not think this will work for all IE browsers as this has been addressed as a phishing issue in IE7 + you will still need a BHO to find each Editbox for each tab that is loaded.
