• Visual Studio CRITICAL ERROR INSTALLING SP1 (released) FOR VISUAL STUDIO 2005

  Hi All, I have tried to install released version of SP1 for VS2005 Team System for Software Developer since last night with no success at all. This is the most troublesome for Service Pack, I have ever experienced so far. Now, some of my applications can't be used any more, e.g. VS2005, Windows Live Messenger, VSS, Paint.NET. Can someone from Microsoft or whoever help me Currently I am developing application and is near the target date. As I see in MSDN that SP1 has been released, I believe that released version from Microsoft will be easy to install and since this is SERVICE PACK, not new product. First time I encounter problem due to lack of space. I am quite surprised Service Pack need more than 2GB to install. So I have clea ...Show All

• .NET Development Permissions problem running from IIS

  Web application uses old style ASP pages at the front, and a vb.net 2005 DLL at the backend. The IIS web is setup with Integrated authentication, and Anonymous is turned off. One option in the app involves running through the shell command a .NET EXE. That .NET EXE attempts to do some WMI stuff but it doesn't have the permissions to do that. The Shell command is inside the vb.net 2005 DLL. I log into the browser as Administrator, and the winapi username shows up correctly as administrator in debug sessions. So why doesn't my shelled application have all the permissions that administrator has ------------------------------ more info..

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing, Windows Presentation Foundation: Problem

  Hello, I am writing a class library (File> new>Clas Libarary) with a Windows Presentation Foundation GUI, in VS2005. The Unit Tests wizard has a dialog called:"Create Unit Tests". This dialog is supposed to show a grid with: First row: Namespace Second Row: Class Next Rows: Methods. But I only get rows one and two. This cause me to code by hand my unit tests stubs. If I create a class library with WIndows forms, everything works fine... I think it is a bug. Anybody ever encounter this Regards, arit Hello arit, This is currently an unsupported scenario, we are aware of it, and will be supporting it in future versions of Visual Studio. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions why this expression is invalid?

  hi when i write Dim buff As Byte() = New Byte(fsin.Length) it says that byte has no contructors and when i put square brackets at the end like that Dim buff As Byte() = New Byte(fsin.Length) {} no complain any explain for this thanks in advance. Usually that implies an initialization Array. For example, you may see this at times: Dim S() as bye = {1,2,3} That will create a three byte array and fill in the values 1,2,3 ...Show All

• Windows Forms adding single records to a gridview

  I have a cbolist the user will select a name hit enter then a query runs to get that name details and enters it to a grid view, the user clicks another name and its details are added. How do i do this. i have only used the adapter.fill(table) gridview1.datasource = table but only one record is showing the last one clicked. "seperate list holder" - you mean like a "storage container" which constantly has items being added (or removed) right Yup I agree and this is what I had also posted earlier.

• Visual C# Validation

  Sorry if this question is a dumb one, but I'm new in C# so.. How can I validate text that the user writes in a maskedTextBox with the OK button E.g. The user enters the program and needs to enter a password to have access. If the password is correct, he has access and the main window apppears. + Enters "Sample" into maskedTextBox 1. I'll start with the second one first. You could certainly use Compare to validate the passwords, but unless the password is culturally dependent, it might be overkill. textBox1.Text == "password" would work as well. As for the first question, the technique is to have Form1 expose a public property called TextBox1Value. The implementation of TextBox1Value would be to eithe ...Show All

  I created a stored proc with 2 insert queries. Both queries have parameters. The first query inserts a row in first table and second query inserts a row in the second query.

• Visual Studio Team System Data Tier Problem

  Hey, I wanted to create a test environment. So, I installed everything as I was supposed to, and then I backed up the production DB and restored it to the testing environment. Then, I used TFSAdminUtil and specified the new data tier. Seemingly, all went well - no error messages, I even checked up on one table (subscription) in TFSIntegration and it pointed to the new data tier - great. However, today, I was startled to find that changes I made to work items on my testing environment changed things on the production environment! Then I took a quick look in the TFSWarehouse to find out what was the last work item id and found that I was right - the test server was actually pointing to the production server (I learned this ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot convert from 'anonymous method' to 'System.Delegate'

  Hello all, The Form.Invoke method is waiting for a delegate as parameter. I wanted to use an anonymous method instead of a delegate but I receive a compilation error : Cannot convert from 'anonymous method' to 'System.Delegate' I find this quite strange as an anonymous method will be generated as a delegate in MSIL and so as class of type System.MulticastDelegate. So i think it should be able to convert it. Is it because it doesn't know the signature of the delegate it must build or for another reason If it's because of that, I was wondering if this will be solved with type inference of C# or not. Thanks, Pierre-Emmanuel Dautreppe Jarodtweiss wrote: Is it because it doesn't know the signature of the de ...Show All

• SQL Server Predicting in Trees

  Hi! I have created a DMM using Trees.
