As far as I know, it should just keep the source-code file under repositry, why it is is kepting pdb and dlls there. How can I i ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Type specific collections

  Hopefully I titled this post correctly.... I have three classes (just for clarification sake: ChildClass1, ChildClass2, and ChildClass3) all of which inherit from one parent class called ParentClass (again, clarifications sake). My library is obviously much larger than this, but I just wanted to keep it as basic as possible. Ok, what I need, is the ability to have a Type specific collection system that would allow users to add ParentClass Type objects to each other in a hierarchical fashion. Then what I would like to be able to do, is have a property inside ParentClass called Children that would allow users to iterate through the collection. So, say I have an object "pc1" of the ParentClass type, along with ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Screen Saver (Starter Kit) Won't Work in Windows 2000

  I have compiled the Screen Saver starter kit at my desktop at home (which is Windows XP Pro). The code has not been modified as this was meant to be just a clean test of Visual Basic Express Edition itself. The compiled screen saver seems to work fine at home on XP. However when I bring it to work to run on a Windows 2000 desktop, I get a crash. The Windows 2000 desktop is running the latest .NET 2.0 framework. Does the Express Edition compile only for the OS that it's running when it compiles What needs to be done (besides installing the latest .NET Framework, since I've already done that) so that you can run your application in Windows 2000 and Windows XP To answer you question. No the compiler does not generate code that will ...Show All

• Visual Basic To Microsoft staff about vbNull.

    Hi, Why is vbNull not Chr(0) instead of "1"  or = System.DBNull.Value See>> Dim s As String = Chr(0) MsgBox( " String 's' is = " & s) or>> Can yourselves not make it the default value for a string instead in future versions of Visual Studio please Dim s As String = System.DBNull.Value.ToString MsgBox( " String 's' is = " & s)  I presume Chr(0) = System.DBNull.Value.ToString   See also http://asciitable.com/ about Chr(0)   Regards, S_DS   Well NULL (Nothing, null, nil) is just a pointer to the 0 address. That's how it went originally. an empty string is "", which is a string that consists only of \0. A null string is when ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Unique Constraints and Range Values

  Hey Team, Is there a way to specify that a certain value (such as product name on a product) is to be unique across a context Also, is there a way for restraining values on a number field That is, I want to specify that prices can only be from $0 to $100. Thanks! Mike There are currently no value constraints in the EDM (e.g. to restrict a value to a certain range and stuff like that). As for unique constraints, it's not there now and may not be there for this version. In both cases, these are things that we're looking at, but we need to phase the features so we can actually ship a version at some point :) Pablo Castro ADO.NET Technical Lead Microsoft Corporation ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums opc

  I am trying to develop an opc - da client using .net technology. Have gone through the documents on opc and opc client and all, but am still not sure how to implement it, can someone give me a direction on how to start with it Genius That's a wee bit over the top, let's just say I've experienced a thing or two about OPC. However, if you're fishing for a response, flattery will get you everywhere :) As the other replies pointed out, the question is a bit open ended. 'using .NET technology' offers a few possibilites, depending on your develpoment language C#, VB.NET, managed C++, etc. The easiest way, would be to make use of the OPC Client .NET wrapper supplied by the OPC Foundation.

• .NET Development 64 bit remoting app searching for VJSharpCodeProvider

  We have a remoting app we are currently trying to port to 64 bit. It is written in C++/CLI. Whenever we try to connect to our application on the server throws the following exception: The assembly with display name 'VJSharpCodeProvider' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 2. (Full exception included in the bottom of this message). We do not use any J# in our application. As there is no x64 j# runtime I am at quite an impass as to what to do. It may be worth noting that we are connecting from a 32 bit client. I would be thankful for any suggestions.

• Visual C# Creating a solution without creating a directory

  I've looked around for a workaround to this - but when you create a new blank solution in my current configuration of VS 2005, I cannot create it without the solution being placed under a directory of the same name. The checkbox to avoid this operation is disabled . I'm really annoyed by this and I'm tired to moving .sln files out of the directory and deleting it - does anyone know how to tweak this Andy I'm not sure if this is what you want, but have you tried New -> Project from existing code This option doesn't create any directory. ...Show All
