I need to write simple console application in ILAsm as a part of my diploma and I hardly understand why below code works (compiles and executes in ilasm): ldstr "Enter a" call void [mscorlib]System.Console::Write(string) and this one - not: ldstr "Enter a" call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Void [mscorlib]System.Console::Write(class [mscorlib]System.String) why "string" and "class [mscorlib]System.String" isn't the same See the ECMA CLI specification , specifically Partition II section 7.2 and 23.2.16. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Viewer runs queries for parameter lists multiple times

  I am using Report Viewer in ASP.NET 2.0 app to execute Report Server reports developed with RS 2005 / Visual Studio 2005. Several parameters are defined with datasets to provide selection lists in the parameter area. When the report is executed in the Report Viewer control on the web page, the SQL Profiler shows that these parameter list stored procedures are being executed twice. This occurs without any code in the page i.e. just using the Report Viewer control URL and Path properties set at design time to execute the report with its default parameters. I have confirmed that there is no postback occurring. Note that this does not occur when running the report from Visual Studio in the preview pane for the Report project. Has anyone ...Show All

• Visual Studio vb & vc++ both?

  Hi All! i have been browsing through web and forums in order to find out how to install both vb and vc++ express on thesame computer but so far no answer. Can this be done. I tried to install vc++ after vb but vb stopped to function. Rgds, Chopa Hi Brendan! I can't remember error messages since it's a while since I tried. VBExpress just wouldn't launch anymore. I had to remove both and re-install. Should the installation of vc++ go automatically after / on top of the vbexpress or should I try the custom installation Now thinking it afterwards it could be that my undermeasured laptop (500mhzP3/128Mram) has something to contribute to the problems Rgds, Tapio ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to correctly register a custom logger in an IDE's BuildEngine?

  Hi again, In my endless search for a solution, I'm trying yet another method, but I'm still running into a wall. I am trying to register my own logger class into my solution's build engine. I get the instance of the engine like so: this.m_engine = Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Engine.GlobalEngine; and then on the OnBuildBegin event, I try to register my custom logger as follows: if (this.m_engine != null) { this.m_engine.RegisterLogger(this.m_logger); } This calls my logger's Initialize() function correctly, and just before the OnBuildDone event fires, my logger is Shutdown(). However, my logger's hooks into the IEventSource (to capture the errorraised and warningrased events) don't seem to be firing in betw ...Show All

• SQL Server Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services

  What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all. What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or th ...Show All
