• Visual J# We're are in a world of hurt with J#

  Hi; We are suddenly getting a number of problems on various systems here with the J# compiler. The result is we cannot release new versions and some developers can't do anything.

• Visual Basic How to debug windows paint messages within and across applications

  Hello, I am using Windows XP and VS 2005 with VB.net and I am writing a solution consisting of a set of applications, all running at the same time, with other applications. I have 4 monitors, which means a lot of real estate for applications. I have observed that my applications cause other applications to redraw their screen. This is most frequently when I use the DataGridView control. Scrolling the DataGridView at one point causes a burst of redraws in those applications, and I have to wait until the storm is over. Question: how can I catch and eliminate the messages that are obviously sent from my application to Windows (and thus to the other applictaions). The other problem with paint messages: Within one application, I ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Vista, VS2005 SP1, Mobile Device Center and disconnects

  Situation: I had to install Vista Ultimate x64 I installed Visual Studio 2005, SP1. Both in Italian. I could not install the "Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista " because it is available only for English. To work with my PDA, I installed "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista (AMD64)". I'm able to sync my PDA with my PC. The problem: When I run my VS2005 VB application, it is correctly distributed on my PDA. BUT, as soon as it load the symbols for debugging, the PDA gets disconnected from the "Windows Mobile Device Center" (but NOT from VS 2005!!) This happens randomly, but about 4 times out of 5.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies VSeWSS Debugging has just stopped working????

  Hi All, when I did my clean install, I created a simple "hello World" web part. Pressed F5 and it deployed and debugged - Hooray. (VS2005, SP1, VSEWSS, SQL Server 2005) Now I am starting to work on the real web part, I have run into two problems. The first is the most worrying: Pressing F5, fires up the build, and the deployment, BUT never fires the browser or the debugger. It just says deploy successful. Now I do have ASP debugging enabled in IIS, and it DID work at first. Can anyone tell me how to get this working again please The second is that after one or two succesful deployments, it suddenly stops deploying with a weird error of: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". So I then ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Manager Connection Problem

  This question is in regards to a SQL Server 2005 installation being used for Team Foundation Services. I suspect that it has something to do with SSL, but I am open to any suggestions that arise. The system seems to function correctly except for the following. When a report is accessed from Report Manager, an error is reported. However, the same report can be accessed from the Report Viewer in Report Server. The URL that works is: https://[server]/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx %2fSurveyDataWarehouse%2fRemaining+Work&rs:Command=Render The URL that does not work is: https://[server]/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx ItemPath=%2fSurveyDataWarehouse%2fRemaining+Work On the page that does not work, the following error is sh ...Show All
