• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 SP1 has bugged up my ASP.NET project

  Hi all, Has anyone experienced any problems after applying the SP1 service pack to Visual Studio 2005 I am running into a problem that I can't otherwise explain. My project contains a Master Page that has a number of User Controls which I access from any new Web Form I create by exposing them as Public Properties of the Master Page. This has worked just fine until I applied the latest service pack. Here is the strange part. Pages that existed before the SP1 still recognize the syntax Master.UserWelcome as being valid. UserWelcome is a Public Property that I created to expose the User Control in the Master page. However, after the SP1, when I create a new Web Form the Public Property UserWelcome no longer appears in the Intellisense window ...Show All

• Windows Forms Populate a tree view in c#

  Hi Guys! I have an number of objects, that contain a "name", and a "level" which was used to indicate the location of the "name" in a treeView in a C++ application. The datastructure of the objects has to stay the same, but now in C# land i am really having problems to populate the treeView. I could not find any method to get a parent TreeNodeCollection, when i am sitting somewhere down in a "sub" TreeNodeCollection (yes i loved my pointers :). Also writing a recursive function failed as (ref TreeNodeCollection xxx) is something the compiler doesn't like at all, as it's implemented as a property. So the big question is now: How do i get a structure like this: Name1, Level0 Name2, Level ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can i fill into a drop down list all the Work Item of a specific type?

  Hi to all, I would like to know if is possible to create a drop down list, in the form of my Custom Work Item, where are filled all the Work Item of a specific type, for example Milestone, without using Custom Control. Thank you. I would hate to see how large that list would get. I'm curious to test and see if it craps out at a specified length not to mention with even a few hundred items in it how would a person ever find anything. Yuck. But doable except for my first noted concern... how big can that list get ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem exporting data using Excel destination (wrong format)

  Hi there, I have designed a package that works perfectly well, exporting data to an excel file from an ole db source. The problem is that in the excel destination file, columns of data that originally were numbers, are formatted as text. It would be just annoying if it weren't because I use those figures in a pivot table that operates with them. Any idea on how to tell Excel that those columns are numbers Thx in advance Then it seems there is an issue in how excel treats the format 'general' in your side. As I told you I was able to generate the Pivot table regardless of the 'general' formating. Sorry if I didnt hel you Rafael Salas ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS 2005 SP1 CEditView Print Preview Crash

  Visual Studio 2005 (Standard) Service Pack 1 seems to have introduced a problem in CEditView. My application uses a view class derived from CEditView and will crash when print previewing this view. The SuperPad example application available from MS exhibits the same problem when recompiled with SP1 for Win32 (Debug or Release). Some characters must be entered into the SuperPad view first and then selecting print preview results in the crash. The crash is due to an assignment to an unassigned pointer (pnCurDelta) in CPreviewDC::ComputeDeltas() (dcprev.cpp line 604 - "*pnCurDelta = mAttrib.tmAveCharWidth;"). Are you familiar with this issue I would find out how that member got populated in t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF Designer: Glyph provider is not being used by my viewer

  Hi all, I have a web page that displays the workflow image for a given workflow instance id. I based this code on the WorkflowMonitor in the June CTP SDK. To avoid CAS issues, my workflowViewer saves the workflow image as a stream which is returned to the web page for rendering (as opposed to hosting a designer surface directly in a web page). This is working fine, however I am unable to hook in the glyph provider to mark Closed and Executing activities, as is done in the SDK. Here's the relevant code extract: --- IDesignerGlyphProviderService glyphService = (IDesignerGlyphProviderService)designSurface.GetService(typeof(IDesignerGlyphProviderService)); WorkflowMonitorDesignerGlyphProvider glyphProvider = new WorkflowMoni ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI ICE while passing a member function pointer to template argument

  The original code that caused ICE was different, but I narrowed it down to: #include "stdafx.h" using namespace System; struct Dummy { void bar() {} }; template < void (Dummy::*pmem)()> void foo() { void (Dummy::*memfunc)() = pmem; } int main(array<System::String ^> ^args) { foo<&Dummy::bar>(); return 0 ; } _Winnie C++ Colorizer The ICE occurs at line 14. If I remove line 19, everything's ok. Note, that this code causes no problems in native C++ compiler and is C++ ISO conformant (well, except for System::String^ and array<>^ part ;)) Good catch. I can see the ICE ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Required or optional fields.

  I have a data contract that looks like: private string _BasketIDField; [ DataMember (IsRequired= true )] public string BasketID { get { return this ._BasketIDField; } set { this ._BasketIDField = value ; } } But when I generated the proxy for the client I see: [System.Runtime.Serialization.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Join function with array of Objects

  Help lists the declaration of the Join Function as Function Join( ByVal SourceArray () As { Object | String }, Optional ByVal Delimiter As String = " " ) As String It does not describe what happens if SourceArray is an array of objects rather than strings, but I assumed that it would use ToString to convert each Object to a String and then join them using Delimiter. However when I try to use Join to convert an array of IpAddress Objects to a string like this: Dim dnsAddresses() as IpAddress dnsAddresses = Dns.GetHostEntry("AComputerName").AddressList Dim Adrs As String = Join(dnsAddresses, ", ") the Join function gets an "Argument 'SourceArray' cannot be converted to type 'String'& ...Show All
