• Windows Forms How can I automatize process of synchronizing versions of project & deployment files?

  How can I automatize process of synchronizing versions of project & deployment files (such as resources, setup.exe etc) And why version of the setup.exe equals to version of Visual Studio Setup.exe is generic - it's not compiled when you build your setup project. It's the same one every time with a slightly different payload in its resources that describes the prerequisites. Your other question I don't really understand. I think you want automatic increments of your file versions, is that right ...Show All

• Visual C# Reading Console Arguments Bug...

  I'm passing some command line arguments to my console app and the string[] args is combining two of the arguments together. I run something like this: blah.exe /a testing /dir "C:\" /args blah and it args[4] is C:\" /args It only happens when I have a trailing \ and then a ", but how else would I do it for a directory A possible workaround would be to run this: blah.exe /a testing /dir "C:\\" /args blah blah.exe /a testing /dir "C:\Program Files\\" /args blah I know that this isn't and elegant solution... maybe someone else can post something better.

• Visual Basic Launching an app in Sub Main

  I am creating an application, where the form should not be visible. So I am using Sub Main as the startup procedure. The code for my Sub Main procedure is: Public Sub Main() Dim J as New JobQueManager J.JobQueManager_InitApp End Sub When I run my application, it starts in the Sub Main, launches the JobQueManager, and goes thru those procedures, but then comes back in the Sub Main, and exits, and my application unloads. When the JobQueManager goes thru its procedures, there is some user interaction required. But my application, just goes back and exits the Sub Main() and my application unloads. How can I allow for the user to interact Thanks I assume there must be some way ...Show All

  I want to display the work item infomation that is saved in work item Description tab (refer to System.Description field). But I can't find this field in any cube.

• SQL Server Can a Connection Manager be parameterized?

  Can you create one connection manager that accepts the Server name and database name at run time and constantly reuses the server and datbase name at runtime when executing one SSIS solution with Multiple packages. You can use Expressions property in your connection manager to build the connection string at run time. You might also want to use package configurations to 'pick up' the right values from a configuration file/table.

  Hi everyone Apologies if this is the incorrect forum for this posting, please let me know if I should repost elsewhere in a more appropriate location. I'm trying to use parameterized queries with classic ADO.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Flickering MDX Window/Form

  Here is what I'm trying to do: 1) WinForm that has some combo boxes and a MDX device created in a WinForm panel. 2) Press a button to go into "fullscreen mode", MDX device is now fullscreen. 3) Press ESC to go back to initial mode with combo boxes and small MDX panel.
