• Visual Studio Express Editions Technical Problem when transporting Project

  I have built a project on a PC running Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. I also installed this software onto my laptop (from the same CD and registered it fine too). But when i save the project from my PC and close Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition i sometimes get errors about the program (doesn't bother me that much and i just send the error reports via the prompt). I then copy the solution that i have developed in the Projects folder to my memory stick and copy that into my Laptop's Projects folder, but when i goto open Life.sln or Life.vbproj (one folder deeper) i get an error that says this (BTW, it's the same error both ways [so both times it's Life.vbproj]): Unable to read the project file 'Life.vbproj'.

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Workaround.

  hey guys, I need help from you guys. Just a few questions if these can be dealt with. 1. Is it possible to use click once without its backward compatibility I mean would want the newly published files(all files) overwrite the old ones. Would it be possible 2. Just wanna hear your ideas on this guys. For example, we have multiple servers running. Considering a multinational compay that has employees on North America, Asia and Europe.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. BoundingBox.Contains doesn't work after a transform?

  Hi All, I have some test code that uses BoundingBox.Contains to see if a vector lies inside the bounding box. It works fine until I transform the point vector and bounding box min/max vectors by a matrix. The coordinates look right, but the function retuns disjoint. I know I must be missing something here, but I can't figure it out. The values after translation are: BoundingBox.Min: 0, 0, 0 BoundingBox.Max: 1, 0.99999999, -1 Point: 0.5, 0.5, -0.5 My test code just replaces the standard game Update() method. You also need to set the game Draw() methods graphics device clear call to graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(color); Here's the Update method and color declaration: Color color = new Color ( Color .Yellow.To ...Show All

• SQL Server Zip archive of XML docs loading into SQL Server

  *Newbie Alert - Non-Programmer* I have over 100 thousand XML docs in a zip archive to upload to SQL Server 2005. My question is how to go about this and what is practical I've read a couple of posts using some sort of loop but it seems slow and I don't want to unzip the archive. I would want each doc as an individual record and whole and not shredded. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks SurfingMoose You will have to unzip it since SQL Server does not understand ZIP files. then you have to write some script (maybe using SSIS or VB ) to loop over the files and load them into the database. You pass the content of the files to a stored procedure parameter (or T-SQL statement) as the appropriate type ...Show All

• SQL Server WSS on MSDE for Vista or later

  Hi, I have come to know that the upcoming OS releases VISTA, and Longhorn are no more going to (Courtesy: Microsoft Directions) support the MSDE version of the SQL. So, all the applications that are to be ported on to VISTA and are dependent on MSDE engine would first have the MSDE content be shifted to other compatible databases such as SQL Express, SQL Server (2k, 2k5). If this is true, i'm wondering how Microsoft WSS release is going to be positioned from the Vista onwards as the typical install of WSS installs MSDE instance on the machine and add the configuration content on MSDE. That said, do we have to manually move our configuration databases to other compatible ones and let go with the functionality or if Microsoft has any ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Agent not finding the package to run

  Hi, I have been searching through the posts hoping to find an answer to my problem. Most errors and problems seem to deal with Agent not being able to run packages because of permission issues. My problem has to do with SQL Server Agent not finding the package to run. I have a proxy with a high enough level of permissions (SqlAgentOperatorRole). The error message I get is: Executed as user: ___/____. The package could not be found . The step failed. The package is in a folder on our network. When I create the step I use the browser to go find and select the package. So why does it not find it at runtime I can run it manually My group is using 2005 for the first time.

• .NET Development CSharpCodeProvider and temporary files

  I'm using CSharpCodeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource() to compile C# scripts from within a Windows service.

Is there a way to specify where this temporary file is generated I've tried everything. TempFiles collection doesn't do it. GenerateInMemory doesn't do it. I don't have the code anymore. I've followed many examples and someone else ran into the same problem. You only have to use Reflector to see it's not using the parameters.
