• Visual Studio Team System Need Experienced Opinion: Should my website be a Project, or an Area of a Project?

  We have a few situations where different apps or websites can be considered to be under a single project...maybe they have the same back-end datastore or are all under the auspices of one business unit or company branch - but they're separate web sites. Our VSTS trainer indicated that we may want to put all of those apps into a single VSTS Project - each under it's own Project Area. I don't have any experience with VSTS, so what do you all think What do we gain by doing this What do we loose Hi Ryan, Scoping of projects is really dependent on individual environments. Let me try to tell you what are limitations around different options. Projects are like physical boundaries around artifacts. What that means is work item like bug, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Out of process .NET DLL used in VB6?

  Hello, I would like to use an out of process dll that I created in .net in a vb6 application. Is it possible to just create a new thread in the dll and do the number crunching on the new thread Another option I've seen suggested is to use an ActiveX EXE wrapper. Would this be a better solution Thanks. You can't use a dll as an out of proc process, so if you call the dll you would be run it it "in-proc". Out-of-proc object calls are expensive, so unless you have a very specific reason to do so, I would recommend that you stay with the in-proc approach. Also, if you want to keep your app responsive, while your function does "number crunching", you need to create the extra thread ...Show All

• SQL Server manipulating ntext in stored procedures

  Hi, I have been trying to write a SP where, in the result set is brought back, two ntext columns are combined with a text string, However I get an error when I click on apply; "Error 403: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals ntext" I can only assume that this means you can't add (or even manipulate) ntext columns in a SP. Short of changing the sp to bring back 3 columns and to do the manipulation in my c# code I can't think of a way round this. Anyone with any ideas thanks in advance rich SP code ( I have highlighted the problem area): CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_RCTReportQuery] @PersonType varchar(255), @Status varchar(255), @Oustanding varchar(255) AS DECLARE ...Show All

• .NET Development Wse 3.0 needs 2.0 Calls?

  Hello, We are building a Web Service that uses WSE 3.0 and a custom UserNameToken Authentication Manager. During the course of development, we discovered the custom autrhthorization manager was not being invoked. Someone who has worked with WSE 2.0 noticed the line of code (documented in a WSE 3.0 sample): ws.RequestSoapContext.Credentials.SetCredentials(new CredentialSet(unt) ); and suggested : ws.RequestSoapContext.Security.Tokens.Add(unt); From his WSE 2.0 experience. The compiler flagged the WSE 2.0 code as obsolete, but it worked and the presences of the UsernameToken (unt) was detetected in the SOAP header and the correct Auth Mgr code was executed. Question: Is this bug in WSE 3.0 ...Show All

• Visual C# debugger steps through commentlines

  Hi, I'm trying to debug my application, so I put a breakpoint in the area I suspect to be buggy and I run my application. When I hit the breakpoint I step through the code. To my surprise I see myself stepping through lines of comment (and skipping several lines of code as if they were comment). I tried deleting the build files, rebuilding, etc, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions It is just looks like it goes through commented lines. The problem is that your app use diferent dll assembly that the current code is, so in that lines previously when you build that assembly that your application is using, there were some execution lines. To solve this problem you need to remove your reference and instead of adding assembly as ...Show All

• Windows Forms prevent clicks from being queued when form elements have enabled=false and Me.Cursor=WaitCursor

  All-- Please help. I want to prevent clicks from being queued when form elements have enabled=false and Me.Cursor=WaitCursor. Right now, I have the code below and everything works EXCEPT the fact that the clicks on the button when the GroupBox.Enabled=False are queued and are actually executed as soon as the GroupBox.Enabled=True is set. So, what can be done to prevent the queuing of those clicks Please advise.

• SQL Server RS2005: ReportManager and Forms Authentication : The report server is not responding

  Hi, Sorry for the long post but I'll try to give a maximum of information. I've tried to implement Form Authentication for Reporting Services. Right now, just about everything works as I would hope for, i.e.: When I try to access http://<server>/ReportServer$SQLSERVER_2005 , I am redirected to the authentication form. When successfully authenticated, I can access the report I can display reports throught the ReportViewer Web control by passing the authentication cookie. Etc. (Note: My implementation of Form Authentication was inspired by http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/26759/0/page/1 which seems similar to Microsoft Sample) (The $SQLSERVER_2005 suffix is because SQL Server 2000 is also installed on the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dynamic assignment of data type within a structure...?

  I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a datatype to a variable within a structure dynamically at runtime.  For example: Structure test Dim a as Integer End Structure Is there a way to make variable "a" dynamic at runtime, so that it could be "as Single", or "as Byte" based on conditions at runtime   Meaning, each instance of the structure may have variable "a", but representing a different data type...  If not, any suggestions on a way to implement something like this     Maybe ...

• Visual Studio Breakpoints stopped working

  All of a sudden some breakpoints in my solution stopped working. The tooltip displays the following error message: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version." I rebuilt the solution; deleted /bin and /obj directories of the project in question; restarted Visual Studio; all to no avail. Any hints what might cause this, and how to solve it I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. Addendum: This seems to affect only breakpoints set on a method head. Breakpoints set on a statement inside the method still work. When I right click on the breakpoint I don't get a Location option. There is no DEBUGGING under Tools->Options. I'm using VB2 ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Preview: Folders containing .eml and .nws files

  Using WDS 02.06.6000.5414 on XPProSP2, I found that preview did not work for some .eml and .nws files. The only common factor I could find for the ones which would not preview was that they resided in a folder whose path included an apostrophe ('). I have not checked whether other file types are affected in the same way. Could it be that the template use for displaying these types of file includes a line something like src='C:\%path%\%filename%' , which of course would fail if %path% (or indeed %filename%, for that matter) included an apostrophe If so, is there any way of changing it, for example to src="C:\%path%\%filename%" ...Show All

• Visual C++ Areas which act like button in OLE

  I've noticed that in OLE containers and in flash there are areas which act like buttons. but they don't show up as buttons on windows spy programs - they don't show up at all ! i guess there must be a window rect area set up and when it determines the mouse is over this area, it animates a bitmap, or actions some code if mouse clicks within the area. my question is, how do i determine the 'hit area' of the button if i don't have the source code. any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated ! thanks For such issues, please use the newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups OTP Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All
