• Visual Studio Team System Comboboxes messed up in dialog?

  The comboboxes for database actions in my copy of VS2005 have gone a bit weird after installing VSTS: DBPro; The text looks as though it's been shunted off the left of the box and up, screenshot at: http://www.cryptpad.com/screenshot.jpg Anyone know how to fix this I've tried rebooting. I've received a reply via e-mail from another customer who encountered this issue after installing CTP 6; however, after shutting down and re-starting the IDE the issue resolved itself. Clearly, the solution in your case has not been so easy. I'm installing the latest build of the product now and will see if I can repro the issue. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development can not create Visual C++ Smart Device project

  Hello everyone, In Visual Studio 2005, I can not create Visual C++ Smart Device project -- when input required inputs (project name, path, etc.) in "New Project" dialog, then when I click OK, the "New Project" displays again -- without any error notifications...

• SQL Server Creating databases on WinXP SP2 with SQL Server 2005 CE RC

  Hi, For various reasons a new desktop application I am developing is using the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Release Candidate to store local data. On my development machine (XP SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition) the software is able to create the database file, and read and write to it fine. However on our test machine, which does not have any of the development tools the software is unable to create the database. A System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException is thrown. The message is: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU." Obviously this goes somewhat against the blurb for SQL Server CE. Is this somethi ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems Creating Report

  Hi, I have only recently started playing around with Reporting Services (2005), and I am having some problems creating a basic report. What I want to display is a table which shows product names in the first column, sales for a specific period this year in the second column, and sales for the same period last year in the third column. The 'specific period' is determined by specifying a start week and an end week which I have set up as parameters. I have managed to produce the first 2 column with no trouble. However, for the third column I need to subtract 52 weeks from the parameters and use them as new parameter in the third column. Can anyone offer any suggestions Dave Some options: ...Show All

• Commerce Server Starter Site problemos

• Visual Studio Express Editions RichTextBox Images Can Stretch

  Hi, I'm using the paste method to insert images in a RichTextBox, the trouble is the user can stretch the images by dragging them with the mouse. Is there anyway to stop this behaviour Or is there another way to insert images into a RichTextBox control that pastes the images with fixed dimensions Well, I take back everything I said. After some more testing, I see that I am able to resize the picture. (It threw me initially because the 'grab spot' is hard to grasp in some places and the cursor never changes shape.) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard Error

  Hello: I try to open a project coded in Visual Basic V6 with Visual Basic.Net(2005). The Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard opens and after a few screens displays an error message: Error - Not able to bind to the source. Thanks for any suggestions... jes If your running the upgrade tool on a 32-bit machine check to see if you have a registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wow6432 in your registry. If so temporarily rename and try the upgrade tool again. The tool is getting confused by the existence of this key on a non-64 bit machine and cannot find its registry settings. After the upgrade tool runs remember to go back and reset the name in the registry Let me know if that helps. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Tool to create a makefile for g++ from visual studio 2005 solution or projects ?

  Specifically for MinGW g++. I write cross-platform projects with VS2005 as my primary dev env, so need an automated and flexible way to do this. Somebody must have done it before. Commercial (paid) or free doesn't matter, as long as I can get the job done. To be useful I must be able to transfer include directories and macro definitions from VC and set fixed options for warnings and other macros on the output files. Support for library and DLL creation would be nice. If no such thing exists I'll have to pay someone to make it, so any advice on approach, language, invocation would be helpful. Thanks, Andrew. It is possible to interface with VS using COM/Automation or whatever it is called; I think you know ...Show All

• Visual C++ unexpected behavior with find_first_of

  I require specifically formatted text for some output logs.  One requirement is no padding on exponent fields ( E-002 vs. E-02).  I simply call find_first_of("E-0"), and use the resultant index to paste together two substrings.  I have found what seems to be random behavior with find_first_of.  Consider the following program that illustrates it.  I generate some random numbers and do my parsing and show some output: int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {   srand( time(NULL) );   for( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i ) {     float value = (float) rand() / (RAND_MAX * 10);     std::stringstream ss;     ss << std::scientific << std::uppercase;   &nb ...Show All
