• Visual Studio Team System Install TFS SP1 onto TFS SP1 Beta

  Hi, I'm trying to install TFS SP1 on a TFS server that has previously had TFS SP1 beta installed. The update/patch package is VS80sp1-KB926738-X86-ENU.exe . The error dialog message is: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch." The event log also indicates the error with the following description: "Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU - Update '{A212FEEC-14C4-460E-BE0E-F1DEBD14C324}' could not be installed.

• Smart Device Development how to make a drawing area?

  hi I was wondering if anyone have a link to a tutorial or knows how to implement a drawing area, where the users can draw (or have drawn comments) on a particular area in the form, and then capture that area and save it to a file (Or database) I'm not sure if OpenNETCF can do it, if so what should I be using Thanks alot You can use panel as a paper and use system.drawing (you need to add system.drawing component) Private Sub panel1_Paint( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles penal1.Paint e.Graphics.DrawImage( Me .bitmap, 0, 0) End Sub Private Sub panel1_MouseDown( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles panel1 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Two Questions ...

  I am using VB 2005 to develop a simple windows app. Question 1: The program draws a number of rectangles of varying colors on a System.Drawing.Graphics object ... later in the program I want to determine the color of a particular rectangle whose center, say, is at form coordinates X,Y. I am not sure how to do that. Question 2: When I run this program I see the strip across the top of the app's window with my menu items (File, Edit, Help) but the strip is not blue nor does it have the minimize, maximize/minimize or close buttons in the upper right-hand corner (nor can I drag the lower right-hand corner to resize the window). I must have set some property to cause this but I cannot figure out how to fix it. Thanks for any help to either o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using WinForms and Console in VB.NET Project

  Hello, I am needing to use forms and console in my apps. I am making a web server right now, and I want the main UI in form type so they can edit things with a GUI, and then have the console show things like access form IP's and what p[ages are viwed etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I don't think so unfortunately. Perhaps NoBugz knows a way of doing so but I believe this will always be launched since you changed the project type fo Console Application...which will show the Console screen at startup. Perhaps you can get a handle on it or something then hide it...not sure Looking at the Console class, the closest one is the SetWindowSize method, give it the x and y co-ordinates of setting the size of the conso ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow within Direct3D render loop

  I am developing a 2D/3D interface using Direct3D. I am trying to also include a video window within the interface to display live TV from a tuner card. I am using VMR9. The problem I have is that the video is flickering, seemingly caused by the drawing loop. After I call D3D Present(), I have to tell the VMR9 window to repaint itself using RepaintVideo(), otherwise the video does not show at all. I am very new to DirectShow and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Great, how do I specify a clipping region on a 2D interface. For example, I don't want anything to draw in RECT(100,50,420,290). ...Show All

• Windows Forms Resize interface to accomodate all user monitor settings...?

  My problem is that I cannot guarantee that the way I see an application interface will be how all the users that install it will.

• Visual C++ Create a Window service which launches a console (and something in it...)

  Hi all, I'm trying to create a service which must monitor a running process. The process actually is a server in console mode. The service periodically connects to the server and, if the server does not respond, re-launches the server. My problem: I can't launch a new instance of the server in a new console. The server seems to be launched in the service "console" (which does not exist) and eventually crashes because of that. So, how can I launch a new console from a service Then, how could I launch a program running in that new console Thank you for your help, Jerome. Here is sample code I use: schService = CreateService(schSCManager,"MyService","MyService", SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_P ...Show All

Yes, I intend to set my variables externally, via package configurations. But I don't know what a "parameter" is or how it differs from a variable.

• Visual C++ Extensible Storage Engine Sample and documentation

  Is there any sample applications for the ESE API. The existing API reference is nice but it takes time to undersand the API and write an application that use ESE. I found the best documentation on Wikipedia, very interesting. Does MS have any tool to view data in an ESE DB. That would be very nice, even if it was a unspuported tool. Anyone else out there that has been using ESE Experiences You are more likely to get good response to this query in one of the newsgroups found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups , so I suggest you ask your question there. This forum's scope is the VC++ IDE and standard libraries, but the use of extensions (and especially rare ones) is directed to the newsgroups. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build/Deploy Failure

  I imported a database using the project SQL 2000 wizard. After the import I discovered 3 stored procs that were obsolete. I right clicked and deleted each of these from the solution explorer. I can build the project, but when I try to Deploy it fails because of the missing stored procs. In looking at the SQL script created for deployment, I discovered that it still had grant execute for the 3 deleted stored procs. Where did I go wrong in deleting the stored procs Where can I go to change the project so that it doesn't try to grant execute on missing stored procs Statements in pre and post deployment scripts you need to manually update; if you remove a schema object we do not remove references to these ...Show All
