• Visual Studio Show All Files button in Solution Explorer doesn't work.

  Hi there, I need to show files in solution explorer. These are not in project exactly but they exist on hard drive (like bin and obj directories in C# projects) . In MPF sources (I mean ProjectNode.cs) we can see that code: /// <summary> /// Handles the shows all objects command. /// </summary> /// <returns></returns> internal protected virtual int ShowAllFiles() { return (int)OleConstants.OLECMDERR_E_NOTSUPPORTED; } /// <summary> /// Unloads the project. /// </summary> /// <returns></returns> internal protected virtual int UnloadProject() { return (int)OleConstants.OLECMDERR_E_NOTSUPPORTED; } That is interesting fact - methods UnloadProject() and ShowAllFiles() are the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Legacy Application COM E_ACCESSDENIED Problem

  We have a legacy application programmed in C++ and MFC that runs on Windows 2000 and XP but has problems with COM and ActiveX when run on VISTA. This app is built with Visual Studio 2003. I remotely debugged this app running on Vista from my development machine and found that the COM and ActiveX problems is the app trying to instantiate the COM components but they return E_ACCESSDENIED. I have checked the following: 1. The COM components on both my development machine (XP) and the test machine (VISTA) have the same ACL’s. 2. The access denied problem occurs if I am logged into the test machine (VISTA) as a local user or an administrator (Admin Approval Mode). 3. I added: HRESULT hr = CoIni ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove the "All" member from OLAP

How can I filter it out in the report Dear Sluggy, In the first moment, I misunderstand the Snapshot as a reserved word. After I realized that is a dimension attribute, it works like a charm. Thanks!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial Port. Problems in Storing received data

  Hello everybody. I'm still on the same project: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=714917&SiteID=1 It is quite easy to convert a byte array to a string. This is actually what our small program does! The Receiver subroutrine takes each received byte and convert the two nibbles (4-bit) to Char and store these in a Char array (RXArray). It then converts the used part of the array to a string by means of the "Dim RXString As New String(RxArray, 0, I)" statement. You only need to copy this code, but use the byte array for input instead of RXByte (conversion done later instead of "on the fly"). Then you will be able to display your array as hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are the best for test purpose, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bubbling an Event from WPF to Winform

  Hello All, I have a WPF canvas which is hosted in an ElementHost (I am using this WPF canvas in a .NET 2.0 application using System.Windows.Forms.Integration). I want to bubble the occurence of the MouseDown/MouseMove/Drag/Drop events of the WPF canvas to its superbase control which is basically a C# .NET 2.0 class (which is hosting the ElementHost). This superbase control is winform user control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. So the hierarchy is WPF Canvas is the Child of ElementHost which is added to superbase control (using this.Controls.Add(ElementHost)). Firstly, can I bubble up the event from WPFCanvas to the winform based superbase user control If yes, How will I handle the change in eventargs declaration ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to add Help Balloons to the application

  Hi, I have set the Help Button Property on a form to true. This adds a question button to the form. If I then run the project and click the qustion mark button the move the mouse the question mark follows the mouse pointer to allow me to click on a control to then display help on the control. My question is how do I code this so when I click on a control it displays help either in the form of a balloon or dialog. Can not seem to find any help on this subject. Ron Wow.

• Visual C# Is there an equivalent to web.config for C# executable?

  I have been writing some web applications with C# and find the web.config file to be very useful for many reasons. I would like to know if there an equivalent to web.config for a C# executable. Thanks, Mike Ah, sorry, I tend to assume 2.0 these days. In 1.1, you have to right-click the Project in Solution Explorer, click "Add New Item" and choose "Application configuration file" from the Templates window. Leave the name as "App.config". This is just an XML file. You need to add a section called "appSettings", and then sub-items call "add" with attributes "key" and "value", like this: < xml version="1.0" encod ...Show All

• Visual C# Interface Properties (Contravariance?)

  Can someone explain why this code doesn't work I get an error that the Order class does not implement IOrder because the 'Customer' property is of the wrong type. Assume that I have no control over the 'Order' class except which interfaces it implements - otherwise the easy answer is to tell me to change the Customer property to be of type ICustomer. To me, the fact that Order.Customer is of type Customer, and Customer implements ICustomer, should mean that Order does implement IOrder. interface ICustomer { } interface IOrder { ICustomer Customer { get; } } class Customer : ICustomer { // ... } class Order : IOrder { private Customer _x; public Customer Customer { get { return ...Show All

• Architecture Sql table design for unknown drilldown depth

  I have a basic question about how to design tables where you don't know how many layers deep you need to drill down, or if children records can have 0 or more children. It would look something like this.... 1 1.1 1.2 2 2.1 2.2.1 2.3.1 2.4.1.1 Or if it was a cms for a news site, you could have: News - local - national Classifieds - Cars -- For Sale --- By owner --- By dealer -- For Lease In this news site case it's not as simple as having 2 tables - Category & Subcategory because "News" has 1 layer deep of children, but Classifieds children can have children under that.
