• Visual Studio Express Editions Debugging using VC# Express

  Hi, How do we debug using the VC# express edition You place break points by clicking the left edge of the code window. Then you hit F5 to start the program in debug mode. The program stops on every breakpoint (you can also set some conditions to break points). When stopped, you can inspect the object values in VC#, and when ready, hit the "play" button (a triangle) in VC# to continue You can also print out debug messages, that are shown in VC#'s output window: using System.Diagnostics; ... Debug.WriteLine("Doing some hard calculation here"); ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to make the header of an expander control stretch?

  I'm trying to make the header of an Expander control fill the available horizontal space in the parent. I'd expect something like this to work: <Expander IsExpanded="True"> <Expander.Header> <Border Background="Blue"> <TextBlock>Hi there</TextBlock> </Border> </Expander.Header> <Expander.Content> <Rectangle Height="100" Fill="Red"/> </Expander.Content> </Expander> The result of this is: - the content (red rectangle) is stretched out horizontally (good) - in the header, the blue background precisely fits the area of the text in the TextBlock (bad) If I put the Border with the embedded TextBlock in, say, ...Show All

  I am new to MS Sql Server, I have installed Sql Server on a system and i created a database in it, now i wanted to uninstall it and install it on other system, but i dont like to lose my database, therefore i want to export my schema and import in other database. what are the steps that i follow, i have installed Sql Server Management Studio Express on it. Thanks to you Reading my problem. There is no need to do any of what you described. Your entire database, schema and data, is all contained in a file, you simply need to detach the file from your development server, copy it to your production server and attach it to SQL Server on that machine. You can Detach the database in Management Studio by right clicking on the database. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MsgBox Size and Position

  Hi, How can I set the size and position of the standard message box control. It is always shown in the center of the primary screen, sized just large enough to display the text.

• .NET Development error: stored proc expects param @xxxxx not supplied

  I created a stored proc with 2 insert queries. Both queries have parameters. The first query inserts a row in first table and second query inserts a row in the second query. In addition, the first query gets the scope_id from the first table and inserts this same scope_identity in the second table along with the other supplied params. Here is the stored proc: (accountNumber gets the scope_identity) ALTER       PROCEDURE dbo.InsertAccount @AccRisAsse bit, @AccHldBll bit, @accountNumber bigint output, @prpDateBir datetime, @prpSinNmbr char(15) AS insert into TblAccount(AccRisAsse,AccHldBll)              values(@AccRisAsse,@AccHldBll) set ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge/Checkout scenario

  If say we have a version of a file that has come from a nother source location and we simply want to use this version but the version in source control is different and needs to merged with this "loose" file, is it possible to have TFS do a merge on the local file one a checkout Use case: 1. File A.cs is in source control 2. File Aa.cs is modified elsewhere 3 File Aa.cs is copied over A.cs locallly 4. File A.cs is merged into Aa.cs in place... Is this possible Basically, I want to force a Conflict Resolution so that changes in the source files can be merged... Like Michal said, the file needs to be read-write.

• Visual Studio Team System custom work item fields

  right now I have a field called "Approved By": < FIELD name = " Approved By " refname = " eDiets.ApprovedBy " type = " String " reportable = " dimension " > < VALIDUSER /> </ FIELD > It works fine, but I want to enforce a rule that only allows the current user to assign himself to this field. Right now they can select any valid user. Esentially the business owners do not want people to be able to approve tasks using someone elses user name. In addition to using just DEFAULT tag, I would also suggest you to make this field Readonly in the form layout so users can't edit this field. -Mohammad ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Graphedit return 0x80004002 (No such interface supported) on Vista64

  Dear All, I face a problem that my tv app cannot run successfully on Vista64. And I verify my app's graph using graphedit, I found it's also fail to run my tv graph, it will pop an err msg after I press the play button : "No such interface supported, Return code = 0x80004002". However the same graph can be run successfully using graphedit(64), I wonder what's the difference Also, amcap cannot run but amcap(64) can....... I think it's strange because I thought there should be no differences on AP design for 32 or 64 bit OS Does anyone know how should I change my app to let it run successful on Vista64 Thanks and Regards.

• Smart Device Development Initiate synchronization from device

  I have written a C# application for Windows CE, VS2005. What I want to do is to transfer files from the Device to the Desktop PC. It has to be done exactly when I want it to, and I need to know that the sync went alright before my app continue to run. I have looked at "repllog.exe /remote" but it is dependant on the customer clicking the sync button on that dialog window, and not everywhere else (like disconnect). Also, it is one extra step to do for the customer, which should have been done automatically. I also tried importing the rapi.dll from the application on the device like this: [ DllImport ( "rapi.dll" )] public static extern void CeRapiInit(); When I call the function CeRapiInit at ...Show All

• Community Chat What language do you prefer?

  Could someone please enlighten me as to what the advantages and disadvantages of the following languages are, in general: C# C++ Visual Basic Also: I read somewhere that C++ was much better for game programming than VB, but why VB is easier to learn and use, so what are the advantages of C++ I think you have it backwards.. C++ is harder than C# to learn. But, I guess it depends on who you are. My 2 cents... I hate the .NET framework. C++ is the best way to go in either direction. Whether it be for business, a hobby, or game development. People will argue that you can accomplish the same thing in C# as in C++ with less than third of the code your C++ code. People also say C++ is a lot hard to understand/write. Well, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting an error RC2188 (Visual Studio 2005, C++)

  Hi, For some reason I'm getting an RC2188 error from the Resource Compiler when accessing the Resource View. There is no documentation for this error. Situation is, I have an RC2 file with my version info in, which is not to be edited by Visual Studio. When the message comes up, it has the path to the RC2 file with a (6) after it.
