• Visual Studio Team System Retain data during Deploy or Writing Schema changes

  We have a database project where changes to tables are constant. When the changes are saved we (the developers) need to deploy or write the schema changes to our local database to work against. This worked fine until we started have lots of test data. With the test data is a pain because if you deploy you lose your data and you can't Write Schema changes to table which have data in them. Besides manually scripting each table, is there a way to retain data while deploying or writing schema changes How is everyone else handling this Hi Darin, I've started using VS Team System a couple weeks ago and DB Pro as well. We have had the same interogation and started making some tests. What we get is that th ...Show All

• SQL Server timeout errors, and General Network Error messages

  Hi We have a VB6 app, with SQL2005 database, SQLOLEDB driver We have it installed at many clients and normally works fine. We've migrated one client from SQL2000 to SQL2005 and had to move the database to a new machine. It's now running SQLExpress sp1, on a Win XP sp2 machine The clients now frequently get either a) SQL timeouts or b) Runtime Error’2147467259 (80004005) [DBNETLIB][Connection Read(recv()).]General network error.

• Visual C++ ASSERT error on Visual Studio .NET 2003

  I have a dialog mfc application with a main dialog. With a button in the main dialog I launch a second dialog. All the controls in this second dialog worked fine. But for some reason everything went wrong. I placed a list box for example on the dialog and I added a control variable for it and I called it NameList. Then I have a piece of code in the dialog NameList.ResetContent(); It compiles fine with no problem, then when I run my application and launch the second dialog it works great. But as soon as the NameList.ResetContent(); code executes I get the assertion error. Here is some details about the error: afxwin2.inl line 698 (The code on line 698 are given below) _AFXWIN_INLINE void CListBox::ResetContent() { ASSERT(::Is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions User Guide download

  During the download of VB Express I declined the User Guide due to its 290meg size. Now I need to know more I can't locate the download for this. Can anyone give me a URL to locate the download, or do I have to re download the entire program again While trying to uninstall the original I realised that there was an opportunity to add or remove components which gave me the choice to download the library, which I did without having to download all the other components.

• .NET Development StringBuilder(string) constructor bug or undoc behavior

  If you attempt to create a new StringBuilder by initializing from a string that contains a null character, only characters just before the null are copied into the StringBuilder. Since both StringBuilder and string support embedded null characters, and the documentation doesn't mention this, I expected the full string to be copied in. It doesn't seem reasonable to have to write a loop to append the characters from the string into the StringBuilder. A character with the Unicode (or ASCII, depending on what you are doing) value of 0. For example, "a\x0Q" is a string with three characters, the second of which is the null character. There appear to be a number of funny behaviors with the null character - if you load the abov ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista COM functions don't return HRESULT values?

  Following is a method to init TV capture device. but I don't know what has caused a very strange thing. Anywhere an HRESULT return value is expected, I cannot see a value. I debug it in Visual studio and set breakpoint, and I cannot see any value for hr. see note in the code, FAILED(hr) is true and it comes to "return hr;" but it doesn't really return, it goes on to the following code. What's the possible cause HRESULT TVControl::InitDevice() { ICreateDevEnum *pDevEnum = NULL; IEnumMoniker *pEnum = NULL; // Create the System Device Enumerator.

• Visual Basic System.Drawing and Scaling.

  I've been experimenting with graphics and I want to scale image up and down. I've done this with graphics and scaling transforms and I have a problems. The resuls are beautiful interpolations but that not what I am looking for. In its displays, Photoshop displays pixels, not magnified interpolated contents. As best I can see and guess, in Photoshop when you are looking at an image displayed as 200 percent of its original size, it's look to me as if one pixel is replaced by four identical pixels (two on a side). Is there a way to do scaling in this manner instead of all the interpolation   ReneeC wrote:   Your answers had nothing to with my questions. at all.

• Smart Device Development Switching form Focus

  I'm using the sub below to call a new form and display it. The new form (form2) has a text box and a button. When the button is clicked I want the form to go away and have the code pic up where it left off on my main form (display the msgbox after frm2.showdialog). All I have on the button_click event now is ME.hide. The form (form2) disappears but so does my app. The name of my mainform is mxev.

• .NET Development Thread Ending Problem

  aHi folks, I'm having a problem with a Thread where it doesn't seem to be ending when I ask it too. The application continues on after the main thread ends (you can see this in Task Manager). This doesn't seem to be happening just when I exit the program, but also when I specifically signal the thread to stop. Here's how I start the thread: thread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( this , &Form1::ThreadMethod)); thread->Start(); This is how I'm stopping the thread: thread->Abort(); Is there something I'm doing wrong here In this case, it's perfectly fine to blast the thread even if it's in the middle of a lengthy operation, so brute-force clobbers will work here.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Unpublishing an Visual Studio created Outlook Add-in

  Hi All, I created and published a Visual Studio for Office Outlook menu item via Visual Studio. My testing of the functionality is complete and I now want to remove, i.e., unpublish, the Outlook menu item. I originally published the item via the Visual Studio > Build > Publish "" menu item. I have been unable to find a document that describes how to unpublish an Outlook add-in. Can someone point me to a document that describes how to do this or could walk me through the process of unpublishing an Outlook Add-in Thanks in advance, Steve Darryn, I thought that was probably the case. This is my first publish so I'm not familiar with the files that need to be removed or ...Show All
