• Smart Device Development Problem to install CF 1.0 automatically.

  Hi everybody, I need to get some help with CF 1.0 automatic installation on device. I have bat file with the script: ECHO Installing COMPACT FRAMEWORK... \Windows\wceload /noaskdest /delete 0 /noui \TEMP\netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab When we cold boot device, installation begin,but it is asking for overwriting framework dll files (Yes, Yes to all and so on). I need to install framework without any questions. Is there some way to do that Thanks for help, Iouri. It's in ROM which is why messages are produced. You probably don't need to install NETCF at all unless you need particular service pack. If you do need it, I don't believe there's a good way to suppress these messages. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing Change

  In CTP3 I can create a unit test for a stored procedure by right click on the sproc in the list of Schema Objects. In CTP4 this functionallity is missing (at least on my install). Should I be able to see the 'Create Unit Tests...' menu option on the context menu for a sproc One other thing I've noticed (that may be related) is that in CTP3 the sprocs show as dbo.SprocName while in CTP4 they show as SprocName.sproc.sql (i.e. the file name is shown rather than the name of the stored procedure) To make this work in CTP4 do the following: 1) Select your database project in the Solution Explorer. 2) Select View | Other Windows | Schema View 3) Expand the nodes until your find a stored procedure, right-click and there is Create ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 2005 Macros and 5744

  Macros in Visual Studio seems to have stopped working in Vista RC2. When attaching to vsmsvr.exe exceptions are thrown when you try to run a macro from devenv.exe. From debugging the disassebly I think it is a access denied message. I also saw a string "Bad IL format" if that helps. Anyone have an idea how to solve this issue without waiting for RTM or going back to RC1 Hmm... this BadImageFormatException sounds strange... It happens that I also have Vista RC2... I'll try the macros from VS2005 a bit later to see what happens and let you know... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Symlink not accessible from 2K and XP Machines

  I have created a "MyFolder" under the C Drive. Then I created a symlink "LinkToPF" under "MyFolder" to "C:\Program Files". The structure is like "C:\MyFolder\LinkToPF". Directory of C:\MyFolder 06-10-2006 03:31 <DIR> . 06-10-2006 03:31 <DIR> .. 06-10-2006 03:31 <SYMLINKD> LinkToPF [C:\Program Files] 0 File(s) 0 bytes 3 Dir(s) 8,575,188,992 bytes free The problem is when I use the ::FindFirstFile from a remote computer ( 2k or XP machine ) to iterate under this path (C:\MyFolder\LinkToPF) it fails. But there should be APIs so as to parse Symlinks, else all the existing Applications on other OS will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop 1.35: DoNotExposeGenericLists false negative?

  Consider the example below.  FxCop fires a DoNotExposeGenericLists warning for method GetFooCollection, which returns a FooCollection derived from List<T>. Should it not fire the same warning on the FooCollection declaration, i.e. if a publicly visible class derives from List<T> Especially since the fix is to modify FooCollection (derive from Collection<T> instead of List<T>). // No Fxcop warning here public sealed class FooCollection : List<Foo> {    ... implementation ... } ... public class MyClass {    // Fxcop warning DoNotExposeGenericLists here     public FooCollection GetFooCollection()     {         ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How To: Attach event handler to element in DataTemplate?

  This question/problem is a little bit esoteric, but hopefully someone has seen it before... I need to attach an event handler to the Loaded event of Image elements within a DataTemplate. The Loaded event handling method is in a utility class, so I can't use XAML to attach the handler. In a Window's Loaded event handling method I call this method in the utility class : FrameworkElementFactory factory = listBox.ItemTemplate.VisualTree; while ( factory != null ) { if ( factory.Type == typeof ( Image ) ) { factory.AddHandler( Image .LoadedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler ( OnImageLoaded ) ); break ; } factory = factory.FirstChild; } There are two problems, one is not too bad (just odd) and t ...Show All

• SQL Server Altering Table Replicated

  How can i change my Table Structure that is replicated I need to add a new field. In SQL Server 2005 you can use alter table syntax to add/remove/change columns in a replicated table. Check out the following link for more information -- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151870.aspx If you are using SQL 2000, you are limited to the functionality of sp_repladdcolumn and sp_repldropcolumn.

• Software Development for Windows Vista I need a way to determine whether a Windows Workflow is alive or not.

  I wanted to know there is a way to create a method to call to "poll" a Windows Worklow Webservice that I've created to determine if it's alive or dead. This doesn't mean actively running a workflow, but simply making sure it's ready to run one. (like a heartbeat) I'm using a Sequential Workflow and it's tied to 1 method currently that's called. Is it easier than I'm making it out to be If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

• Visual C# Expedite the Build Process

  I have a solution with a large number of projects (including a client app, server app, some utility DLLs, some custom development tools, and some DLLs that act as plug-ins for the main applications).  All of them are C#.  The time it takes to rebuild even after making a small change in one code file is significant.  Even though it only compiles one of the projects, it lists each project in the output pane and spends several seconds 'building' it (which doesn't seem to do anything).  My best guess is that its scanning the files of that project to determine if anything has changed and needs to be rebuilt. If it helps, the project has 32 projects with 507 code files in total (although the distribution is very uneve ...Show All

• Visual Basic [Please Help!] Problem with Windows Controls in a WinForm

  I have a problem that all the windows controls in my application make a certain offset to its X and Y of location property and Width and Height of size property when it's run under another language version of WindowsXP. My development platform is WindowsXP SP2 Eng version, and I have tested many times in my workstation and my colleagues' workstations (which are also running Eng version WindowsXP), and the application shows properly of what I define in the VisualStudio.NET 2003 IDE.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how can i switch off the default design mode

  hi, everytime i open an xaml file in cider, vs tries to display it in design mode.  this is annoying since it takes quite a lot of time until the design is displayed or i get the "whoops" error message. can the i change the default view mode of xaml files to edit mode thanks, bkohler  Right, the tabs on the bottom are all owned by the Cider designer, and instantiating the designer as the "Open With..." setting is what gives you those tabs. Lose the designer, lose the tabs. There is currently no way to change which tab is active by default when the designer is brought up. The good news is that the XAML editing tab in the designer is the same as the normal XAML editing surf ...Show All
