• Visual Studio Team System Building and publishing Web Sites with Team Foundation Build Service

  Hello, I have a question regarding the task of building and publiching web sites using TFS. I have a solution with web project, that i am building under TF Build Service. Build passes successfully, but no binaries are created and not copied to build drop directory. I have read in MSDN that build of web project using MSBuild (it is used by TF Build Service) is not actually a build of binaries, but just a check that it is successfully compiled. In place of this, as a result of build in TFS, i need to make a set of pages and binaries, which is ready to deploy. Please, give me some decision of this task, if possible. I have ffound a better solution - it is Web Deployment Project: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en- ...Show All

• Smart Device Development visual inheritance disabled

  I am trying to use the designer for my forms, but on all of the forms in my project I am getting the message: "Visual Inheritance is currently disabled becuase the base class references a device-specific component or contains P/Invoke." I don't understand why I am getting this error message becuase the base class does not contain P/Invoke or use any device-specific controls. It only contains a simple event. Which controls would be considered device-specific anyway I am not using controls from Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll but I was able to fix the problem by combining my projects into one solution. In other words before I had multiple projects each with their own solution and I would edit them seperately. ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do I make a client side soap call using vc++ 8.0?

  What is the generally accepted method for making soap calls in vc++ 8.0 Without doing the following silliness.... Posted to the c# forum --------------------------- I have some legacy apps in c++ that need to make soap calls. Finding info on the best way to go about doing this is really tough. Moving the vc6 c++ code into VS2005 was not a big deal... but adding the web reference to the project just did not fly. The service I am trying to hit is an https... which seems to not be do-able as far a sproxy is concerned... After some examination I come to find out adding the web reference in C# seems to work fine. The proxy generation engine for the c# side clearly works better and there is the implcation it can handle ...Show All

• SQL Server Toolbar Back button, Runtime Error after some pause (Stack trace)

  Hello, My users often view some report for some minutes and after that want to return to parent report. If they did it after small time (~less than minute), everything is OK. But if this pause is above 1 minute they receive "Runtime Error" message and can only to go to homepage. I think that this is some session time or something like that. Am I right How can fix it Thank you Hey guys I think that this issue has something to do with some other problems I have been having due to SP1. I notice that the back button wasn't the only thing messing up, and it was only doing it in the ReportViewer (not when I went to the report directly in VS) check out this article http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29672997/back-call ...Show All

• Windows Forms Small accounting application Big headache (SAAB-H)

  Hello, This is part of a small database EntryForm. 9 TextBoxes: 1,2,3,Sum1 (all decimal(6,1), -- V1, V2, V3, EA, VTotal (all smallmoney) , --- EA (smallmoney). Three calculations: Sum1=1+2+3, V1=EA*1, Vtotal=V1+V2+V3. The order of the TextBoxes is 1-EA-Value1, 2-Value2, 3-Value3, Sum1-ValueTotal. The Sum1 and ValueTotal should be always updated regardless in which field the user choose to start entering data. The reason for the If, Else or If ElseIf statements is to always have some values in the TextBoxes. Note: All the TextBoxes.Text was stripped away to see better (1 is 1TextBox.Text, etc) Questions: How to initialize the Form without Fill (it always brings up the first record -eve ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content Pipeline Type Environment Odditiy

  Sorry this is likely to be a bit confusing, as its fairly complex... I have a Managed C++ Library (called Lua2ILContentImport) with a custom content pipeline in it, its has to be Managed C++ because it embed a fair chunk of old C code in it (Lua 5.0 for the curious), I also have a C# library (called Lua2IL) that runs on PC and 360 (a define removed some Emit calls on the 360, the rest is identical). Lua2ILContentImport reference Lua2IL with the define defined so that a Lua byte code to CLR IL system is enabled using Reflection.Emit. Now the product of the content pipeline is an assembly full of lovely IL that originally were Lua scripts. For testing I also have a tiny console driver that manually calls the content pipeline classes to make ...Show All

• Visual C# Don't know what type of issue of My Visual Studio 2005 Team suit IDE

  I got a problem of my IDE. If I create a new C# website project using either File System or IIS project, when the solution was created, I opened codebehind file, the IDE produced a lot of erros for the syntax (by default). when I pointed to that error, it's said "'class' statment must end with a match 'end class'", it seems that the IDE use VB syntax to check my C# codebehind file. Does anyone have had this experience before or any solution Javafun wrote: Yes, it happens in the beginning when I crate a new site and then switch to the code behind. The good thing is, the SP1 RTM version has fixed that problem. Cheers! Well I am glad to hear that your problem is fixed. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Convert std::string to System::String^

  Stan Lippman's blog says the following is legal: std::string Model( "Hello" ); String^ MyString = Model.c_str(); Found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/slippman/archive/2004/06/02/147090.aspx But VS2005 is saying its not legal.  It gives this error message: error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t *' to 'System::String ^'  How is this conversion done   Google shows a zillion ways to convert in the opposite direction, which is not what I'm looking for.  I also tried using a wstring as the native type, but I got (effectively) the same error message. I orginally found the problem when I did this: //managed code... MessageBox::Show(Model.c_str(),L"Hello"); The above gives the following ...Show All
