• Visual Studio TSQL Debugger is not working - Unable to bind SQL breakpoint at this time.

  Hi, When I put breakpoint into the stored procedure and do "Step into Stored Procedure" the break point became disabled and the message is "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Unable to bind SQL breakpoint at this time. Object containing the breakpoint not loaded." I'm absolutely sure that this was working normally about 2 weeks ago. I have a suspicion about “VSTS - Database professionals CTP5” which I have installed recently in approximately the same time frame. I have posted this question in the “Visual Studio Team System - Database Professionals” group as well and so far response is that this tool should not have such effect. I have a number of developer’s workstation working normally and able to step ...Show All

• Visual Studio Mixed-mode debugger hangs

  We have a quite large native C++ application with some parts in C++/CLI, and some GUI components written in C#. Recently, the mixed-mode debugger has become unusable for us because it hangs with a high CPU load as soon as the managed components are used. Visual Studio itself stays responsive, until I select 'break all' -- then VS itself also hangs, now without CPU load. During the high-CPU-load hang, VS uses ca. 59% of the CPU, our program (the debuggee) uses ca. 17%. The process explorer (from sysinternals) shows that VS uses CPU mainly in two threads which stay in ntoskrnl.exe. The number of objects marshalled also increases continuously. Here are typical call stacks for those two threads if I debug the devenv.exe and break execution: &g ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Link ResourceDictionary to Code-Created Object

  Hi there Perhaps someone knows of an easy way to do this: I have a XAML resource that defines the look of a tab control. Now in CODE I create a new instance of a TabControl, but I have now idea how to hook that tab control up to the style defined in the resource. Here is the resource file. It is added as a XAML file in my project: < ResourceDictionary xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " > <!-- SimpleStyles: TabControl --> < Style TargetType = " {x:Type TabControl} " > < Setter Property = " OverridesDefaultStyle " Value = " True &qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can I find which files are updated by other users?

  Hi, I am new in visual sourcesafe. When I open "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe" or Visual Studio, I can easily see which files or folders are being locked by other users. But when they check in the files I can't find whcih files are updated to update my own local files by "Get Latest Version". Is there a way to easily find this out Of cours I can use the comapre tool, but it is not wise in a 10000 files solution. :) Thank you. Thanks Richard. It seems good, but not enough. I need to know which files are updated before I decide to get the latest vesrion. Sometimes I do want to get the latest version, but it is important for me to know if someone has changed the file or not. Act ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Positioning Custom Control Panel

  Hi, I am trying to follow the article on how to create your own control panel: http://www.viavirtualearth.com/VVE/Articles/GettingStartedWithV3Pt2.ashx Using the following style instruction for "var panel = document.createElement("div")": panel.style.right = "10px"; doesn't work as I would like it to do. That means, that the custom made control panel is 10px from the right margin of the window. How can I achieve this Thanks for any hints! If you are adding the control through the VE api, it will probably default to adding it relatively positioned to the map control container. If you want your control widget positioned accordingly to the browser window, use absolute po ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Navigation around Project Portal hindered by repeated display of Domain Login Prompt

  Help please! I am a project manager and seem to be the only person afflicted with this problem in my organisation and my SysAdmin doesn't know what to do to overcome it. When I am in VSTS explorer, I can right click and select to show Show Project Portal. The project portal home page is displayed, and a few moments later, the login prompt is displayed. If I 'cancel' or re-enter my password three times I can generally navigate round the portal. (But am increasingly frustrated by the hindrance caused by dealing with the all the extra popup screens!) The login prompt is also requested for each project portal home page that I visit, and for some of the subordinate pages too. It may also be requested when I select to edit or view documen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition

  I am new to Visual Studio 2005 and this product was already installed onto my computer. My problem is that I wanted to create a Database Project and noticed that the Database Project template is missing. Where can I go to fix this problem do not quote me but I don't think SQL Server Express has templates....but the full version does. I have VS2003 and VS2005 with SQL Server 2000 EE and SQL Server 2005 enterprise installed and I can see (but never used in my life) the SQL Server project template. I'll do a test on a virtual machine and get back to you soon on this. I hope it does help...for both of us! ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing old(legacy)resource DLL in C#

  Hi, Need help on how I can use data from old resource only DLLs in my C# .NET app. I have a collection of about 5 DLL's generated in 1998 that contain strings, images and sounds needed for this new c# application. I've attempted the following.... 1) to use add reference->browse to add the DLL to my solution but get and error saying it cant add because it needs a valid assembly or COM component. 2) attempted to use System.Resources.

• Visual C# How to edit ico files in the solution?

  When I double click on my application icon in solution explorer, it comes up in MS Paint, not in VS.net's icon editor.
