• Visual Basic Visual Studio .NET 2003

  Hello: Where is the best place to ask a question, or report a possible bug, with Visual Studio .NET 2003. My probelm is with the "Propert Pages" of a project in a solution. Thanks. The problem is that when I try to use a macro such as $(SolutionDir) when setting the "Output Directory" (in the Propert Pages for the project, under Configuration Properties...General), it interprets this as a literal string (and creates a directory called "$(SolutionDir)", without the quotes) instead of expanding the macro to something like "D:\usr\MySolutionDir". ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Root object in DOM again...

  The original post was here . I got an answer from Pablo, it was helpful but I hit the wall again while trying his suggestions due to the reason I mentioned in my previous post. I still didn't get any satisfactory solution, hence I ask you all again: 'Is there a clean way to incorporate root object in your DOM using August CTP '. My definition of root object in this context is: 1. It is not required to persist the root object. It is just there to add some behavior to all the other objects. 2. Every other objects (whether it is persistent or non-persistent) in my DOM will inherit from the root object. The august CTP insists that I define a key property in my base Entity. I did that and then when I tried to make one of the per ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrade from 32-bit eval to 64-bit enterprise?

  I have a 32-bit evaluation edition installed on my 64-bit server. I have purchased a license for 64-bit enterprise edition. Can I upgrade from the 32-bit eval edition to the 64-bit enterprise edition If I can - should I Is the better approach to install a new named instance of the 64-bit enterprise edition - the 32-bit eval edition is an unnamed instance. All guidance is appreciated. Thanks. You can't directly upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit through setup. As long as the instance name is unique, it does not matter if you installl a default instance or a named instance Thanks, Peter Saddow ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I debug Windows Apps on a remote machine ?

  Hi, I am trying to develop a web app that uses COM objects that only reside on a server where I cannot install VStudio. I have, however, installed .netFW 2.0 Beta and the remote debugging tools. Now I cannot find a way to tell VStudio to run the app on the remote machine when pressing F5. Is this by design The samples for remote debugging don't touch web apps, and the settings for web apps don't let me specify remote debugging. A little hint would be appreciated. Guenter i guess this is the right place to find out if the same process works for debugging windows service running on a remote machine A little help would be appreciated. Thanks, mark ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sharing Functions Between Applicaitons.

  I have 2 applications, I need to use functions in the 1st app, in my 2nd app. What's the best/easiest way to do this I've imported a DLL or Exe file into an app before and was able to use it then. Is this the prefered way The 1st app will be changing constently. Thanks in advance. jb Just to clarify. You simply need to create a class libary. The methods may be shared methods within a class, or you could add a module and simply place your methods in the module ( a module is simply a simple way of saying that all methods contained would be shared without having to specifically state it) The add a reference to the Class Library DLL in your projects. You dont need to specify an imports state ...Show All
