• Visual Basic Adding a reference to System.ServiceModel from .NET 3.0

  I am using VB .NET 2003 Standard edition SP1. I cannot add a reference to the .dll system.servicemodel. After finding the file "Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\system.servicemodel.dll" I get an error saying "A reference to system.servicemodel.dll could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM component. I have reinstalled .NET 3.0, I have tried it on another pc and get the same error. Could anyone tell me why I would get this error ...Show All

• Visual Studio DSL Installer issues

  Hello everybody I encounter some issues when trying to create an installer for my DSL. I have successfully requested a package load key for it, registered it correctly (according to the corresponding MSDN page) and configured the installer definition file. I am able to build the installer project, I can event install it on a test virtual machine (I use VMware for that) and create a model file. But when I try to open it, I get two package load failure error messages. In Constants.cs, the same values for ProductName, CompanyName etc. are provided as the one in my package load key request. Is it possible that a missing assembly that is referenced by one of the package assemblies results in the same errors Thanks for your suggestions and help ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Assembly reference

  I have the statement "using Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms;" to take care of the fact that I am calling MessageWindow. I get the error message "The type or namespace name 'WindowsCE' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference ) ". I cannot find the assembly reference to add. What do I do now I am using .NET version 2.0. I am glad to say that I did make some progress, but am still being plagued by errors. (1) I reinstalled my VisualStudio with "Smart Device Programmability" checked, even though it appeared that it had been already so. Indeed, when it was all over I still got the same error message about not having 1.1 available. (2) I went to the web an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Registry Keys with spaces

  I am trying to retrieve the username from the registry which unless there is a better one I used HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Logon User Name the problem is I can't figure out how to deal with the spaces I tried retrieving other keys without the spaces and they are just fine.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Build - next version?

  Hello, does anyone know when a next version of the TFS will be released and which extentions will be made to the Build Automation/Reports - Chris We'd like to see better support for calling other types of build scripts. Right now for our Java projects we have a msbuild script that simply calls our Ant script. While I'm not an expert setting this up, from what I know we needed to create a superfluous solution file to get the Team Build to even recognize we'd like to setup a new Build type. The solution file is useless to us, but seems to be a prerequisite. Mac ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro GRID JAM ON A NETWORK WITH VFP9

  We're facing this problem. We have a grid which is the detail of a header table. The two tables are linked with a relation in the data environment. We use the application on a network; two users enter the form, both insert some detail records linking a different header code (e.g. 5 lines each); one of the users is pointed in the middle of the grid and he DOESN'T SAVE the data; the other user after having inserted the header code and the detail lines saves the data; the user who doesn't save, goes through the grid with the arrows and his data are replaced "virtually" by the data the other user committed ! I created (and I can send it) a simple example with base VFP9 classes to reproduce this behaviour. This is a big problem for ...Show All

• SQL Server LEFT JOIN Conundrum

  I have, what I think, is a simple query to perform but I can't figure it. Maybe someone can help There are 3 simple tables: tblMain Idx FirstName LastName ReasonID tblReasons ReasonID_R Reason tblOtherReason Idx_R OtherReason tblOtherReason is only used if the user chooses "Other". Then their freeform reason is stored in tblOtherReason.OtherReason. ReasonID is an integer field. It's used simply to link to the textual Reason field in tblReasons. All I want to do is run a simple SQL command that will return all of the records in tblMain, though displaying tblReasons.Reason instead of tblMain.ReasonID and adding the extra field tblOtherReason.OtherReason Using the Design View in MS Access I generated a basic query: SELECT tblMa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions error trying program on other pc

  Hi I've got a program. It has 1 source file (.cpp) and 1 header file(.h). When I compile on my local machine the program works just fine, but when I try it on another pc I get the error that somethings wrong with the configuration of the program and that it can't be run. I have .net framework 1 till 2 installed and the microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistibutable on the other pc.

• Visual Studio Team System DateTimeControl

  I received a report that the calendar control in the work item edit form is "extremely dysfunctional and is basically unusable" and I must agree. Are there known issues with the winforms DateTimePicker in work item editing Yes, I am referring to the DateTimeControl as a calendar control. Here are the symptoms in detail: I have a DateTime field called DateNeeded. I display this field to users with the DateTimeControl. The control displays empty until a user clicks the drop down button. It then displays the current date in gray, but it does not display the calendar for the user to select a value. (This is not the source of the complaint, but does involve some unexpected focus issues.) The main complaint I receive occurs whe ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Ifilters for indexing words in VBA code embedded in .XLS files

  Has anybody heard af an ifilter that can index words in VBA code embedded in .XLS files I often make VBA "goodies" in Excel spreadsheets, but often forget in which spreadsheet a specific piece of code is stored. Normal windows search cannot find Excel spreadsheets with specific words in the VBA code. I have for this reason tried to make a habit of exporting the code to ascii files (.bas), as such files can be indexed . However it is difficult to be systematic when the *** has hit the fan, which it often do. So having Windows Desktop Search indexing words in Excel VBA code would be wonderful.
