• Visual C# How to always force rebuild C# project?

  Hey I have this C# project (.csproj extension).  I want to have it always rebuild every time, regardless.  How do I do that   Is there a flag or something I can manually throw into the project file (xml tag) That is basically what I want to happen.  I want to tell the compiler (for a specific project) to ignore whether or not it is up-to-date and just rebuild it.  So every time the project gets built it is instead rebuilt. ...Show All

• .NET Development redirecting calls of satellite assemblies

  The problem I have concerns the redirection of calls to satellite assemblies: I have a some dlls with corresponding satellite assemblies that contain the translated resources. Now the problem is that is might be necessary to change the version number of the satellite assembly because the content of that file changes. I want to change the version number of the satellite assy ONLY. To do this I have to redirect every call to the old version to the new version. So far I have not been able to do this. I wrote the following file: <configuration> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="<satellite_assy_filename>.re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Delete team project and remove from SCE?

  I deleted two team projects one got removed from SCE and one didn't How do I get rid of the one that didn't and why did one get removed and not the other I understand there is some sort of bug related to this but why one and not the other and there must be a way to get rid of that one that is left right If not do we now know if this is fixed in SP1 As you know, nothing can be permanently deleted. IIRC, projects created by CreateTeamProject() API cannot be deleted at all, while projects created by the Project Creation Wizard can at least be removed from sight by tfsdeleteproject.exe ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio - Object Explorer

  Can anyone tell me how to get Object Explorer to 'remember' and re-establish my Connected Servers when I open SS Management Studio I am working with several Database Servers and Several Report Servers and each time I close SQL Server Management Studio I have to manually re-establish my Connected Objects in Object Explorer. Is there a way to automate re-establishing those connections that I am missing The <CTRL><ALT><G> was the trick to get the window to show. With the registered databases showing, you no longer need to keep connecting. These subtleties are what Microsoft leaves out and what increases job security once learned. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Data Binding is not updating the database

  Hi Microsoft Community, I'm a new visual basic developer and am using the visual basic 2005 express edition with sql server 2005 express edition.  I've been going through some lessons and have encountered a situation that I'm hoping someone can identify what the issue is. When creating a form with listbox and textbox components, I first request data from a table called customer.  I'm using a table adapter to manage the connection, request and response from my sql server express database called mycompany.  Upon the return of the data, my intermediate dataset is populated with the requested data.  I'm sure the data has been retrieved because by utiizing the binding navigator component, I can view the data.  I have t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Flat Controls (.NET 2.0)

  Hi Does anyone know how to make listed controls below, flat - TextBox - ComboBox - CheckedListBox - DateTimePicker I want to have a flat design with a black border.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to make a main menu?

  How do I make a main menu that you see in alot of games these days I'm kinda curious... What I do is the following. At least that's what I did with MDX. Haven't got the chance to try XNA a lot yet. Will be a good mean to learn C# as I'm more of a VB.NET guy. I have an abstract GameState class with a few Functions defined as MustInherit (like Update, Draw etc...). Every GameState like the Game itself, the menu etc... is a child class of GameState. Those classes implement the different functions. Then there is the GameStateManager which is basically just a Stack of GameState objects. e.g. when I open the Menu, I push an instance of my Menu Class onto the stack. Once the menu gets closed, I pop it from the stack. Thus the game alwa ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Glyph's don't register mouse events?

  Is this a known issue of Glyphs not responding to mouse events Check out my sandbox for an example: http://jgrunstra.blitzagency.com/wpfe/sandbox/ You can click on the TextBlock ("I Am WPF/E") and the image (blitz logo), and both register the event, but clicking on the Glyph ("Click Me") doesn't respond, and if you click an area of the glyph that is covering the image then the image registers the click event even though the sudo z-order has the glyph positioning on top of the image. The SDK says Glyphs recognize all the usual mouse events. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb188338.aspx Thanks! -Jason can you help me with the last question at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1413175 ...Show All

• SQL Server Report generation is consuming 100% of CPU client side.

  Hi, I have a problem while rendering a report which returns around 5000 rows. At first the server is busy to process the request, when the server is done the rendering client side takes 100% of CPU and never displays the result ("IE is not responding"). It seems that the ReportViewer has trouble to handle the server response. Do you have any idea why Sebastien. It appeared that the problem is a paging issue. The report contains groups and by default the top level is collapsed, when we try to expand a level that contains many rows thoses rows are all displayed on a single page. That's why IE is consuming 100% of the CPU to display all the rows. How can I change that the paging is working for t ...Show All
