  Who can tell me what I should do to the error: Error 1 An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80040155' This error appears when I try to make a setup project with visual studio 2005 standard version. By Error help: There was a problem accessing a file or folder while building a deployment project. There are several situations that can cause file or folder access errors. When building, files are built in an output directory specified by the Output file name project property. Each time you build or rebuild, files are deleted and then re-created.

  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.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement is playing HD-movies slow in RC1

  I've just upgraded my system from June CTP to RC1 of .NET 3.0. Rebuilding my projects worked without any problem but when i try to playback a HD-movie(720p) in a mediaelement i get unacceptable framerates. In June CTP the exact same movie worked perfect and i can't think of anything else that has changed in eighter my system or project that might affect videoplayback. Playing the movie in WMP, VLC or any other player works just as before. My system: Athlon 3200+, 1024mb ram, Radeo 9800pro 128mb, XP Pro, WMP 10 While I haven't done anything close to scientific tests, I also had the feeling that CPU usage was higher when playing back videos in RC vs June or July. //Tomi B. ...Show All

• .NET Development Your probleme with the Update

  I tried unsuccessfully to do the job according to the book for over 2 month, could sleep, could not do otherthings, finnaly I opted for writing the output to a text file, and at exit the text file is merged into the access data table. The bad point is the database does not reflect the latest situation. The good point is you have a history journal of all what happend on the DB. NB: do not forget to add a stamp to your output text file, update your database from the imported textfile, on the imported textfile you will also have added a flag Y/N so you can filter the new changes. do not forget to flag the newly added textfile record once the changes applied to the main DB table, and delete the textfile The button is activated b ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems modifying context menu on the fly

  I have been trying to modify a context menu depending upon the view a user choose in a window. I have added a context menu in the design view and added 3 menu items. On load I set one of these items to be either invisible or unenabled (I have tried both) however in the 1st view I still get all 3 appearing. I can set this to unenabled/invisible in the design view and it works fine. As I cycle through the views (choosing the view based on the choice made on the context menu) I try to set various other items to unenabled/invisible. This does work however it does not set the correct one to unenabled/invisible, and seems to choose the one that it sets invisible based upon the 1st choice you make in the context menu. For example I have my contex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Running VSTS unit tests, according to priority?

  Hi, I am currently working on a project with hundreds of unit tests that can take a long time to complete.  We are using VSTS unit tests. I am interested in running only tests of a certain priority as part of our interval builds throughout the day. I am aware I can set an attribute assigning them a priority, but how can I tell MSTest to only run tests of priority 3 (for example.) Thanks for your help. Hello, Unfortunately you are hitting another issue that we currently have in RTM (and don't have a clear repro for it). That vsmdi file shouldn't get created again. There is a workaround for your issue, and it is in this other thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=513572&SiteID=1 Any information th ...Show All

• Visual C# Edit a string?

  I would like to edit a string but I am having a little bit of trouble doing it. For example: string Mystring = "test\r\n"; I would like the string just to read "test". how can i cut the last 4 chars off Wes Payne wrote: Then Brendan Grant's suggestion is probably the best one. That way, trailing (and leading) whitespace characters, which can lead to unsightly boxes, will always get removed no matter how long the string you want to keep is. Hopefully, that's the worst you have to deal with. If there are other, special characters creeping in and leaving unsightly boxes, then sterner measures would be required. No I am only gathering the data from a stream and then posting it in a listbox control. So th ...Show All

• SQL Server First Letter Capital More Than One Word

  Here is my question: Can you set this code up to do more than one word ex: I have names like Mc Donald, or Brook-Smith and the are lower case like the code states upper (left( client . first , 1 ))+ lower (right( client . first , len ( client . first )- 1 )) + ' ' + upper (left( client . last , 1 ))+ lower (right( client . last , len ( client . last )- 1 )) As 'Full Name' Ray, It is similar to a stored procedure, but as a function, you can run it inline with the SELECT statement instead of calling it like a procedure. You execute it to save it to the database (just like a stored procedure). Then you pass the value to the function and the function returns the modified value. You ...Show All
