• Visual Studio Express Editions Project out of Date

  Hello. I know there have been a few 'project out of date' threads, but I wasn't able to fix my problem looking through them. Anyways, I posted a question yesterday about saving a project with a new name, and this might be related to having done that. It seemed like this started happening after I successfully changed the name of my project by saving it as something else. Now, when I build my project and then start debugging I get the project out of date message and am asked if I want to rebuild. If I say no, my program executes just like I would expect based on the last build I did. I've tried all the options - clean, rebuild, etc. but still get this message. It's mainly annoying, but I never like to have messages I don't understand coming ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need help building web projects with MSBuild?

  If you're interested in building your web project using MSBuild, we can save you the trouble of posting the question and waiting for an answer :) To build web projects with MSBuild you need the Web Deployment Project add-in. You can get it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/infrastructure/wdp/ . Another option is to use Web Application Projects , which give you the VS2003 model of working with ASP.NET projects, but the benefits of ASP.NET 2.0 and VS2005. Happy building!

• .NET Development Working with FtpWebRequest and Special Characters

  Hi, I have been working with FtpWebRequest perfectly, downloading, uploading, etc., until I found myself into trouble when the file name has special characters like this: Escnoqqwna#.jpg and it just doesn't work, no matter what, I always get the "error 550 file unavailable" when trying to download, so I tried to rename the file and trying to access the file name with httputility.urlencode(str), but I can't still modify the name so I can download it.

• Visual C++ How to access web page files using C++

  Hi all,    I have a list of web pages that I need to pull certain numbers from and will need to do it frequently, thus a program that has the list of address to pull the data from will make my life easier.      Can you access web pages like you would to access files on your computer using the fstream library.  The idea is to then parse through and find the certain tag, for example: I need to find the living area of a home on the site, I would like to open up the file, in this case and .asp.  Then I would read in each line and look for what I need, in the case I would look for:      <td width="200"><strong>Living Area</strong></td>   &nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server automate GACing assembly

  Hi, Unfortunately the deployment Utility does not support adding dll's to the GAC. Still I want to automate it. (By the way on target machines GacUtil is not present). I tried to make a setup project that only adds a dll to the GAC, however the setup project still makes an application folder. How can I turn this off Regards, Henk I haven't used the Visual Studio installer projects for some time, but is there not a File page in the project Can you not delete the app folder in that File page Saying that I can highly recomend WiX as a method of generating MSIs.

• .NET Development How to Identify .NET (CLR) Based Apps?

  @Everybody, Hello, -Sorry for asking question like this, but is there any way for us to know whether a specific app using CLR or not (native) Yes, we can review their System Requirements; but as time goes on, many Windows setups will have .NET Framework installed by default (especially Vista), so, more app will not bundle nor states the requirement for .NET anymore. Can Dependency Walker do this -BTW, are MS Office 2007 are .NET apps I thought like that because Accounting Expresss 2007 requires it. Is the same goes for Vista apps binary I tried to run some from RC2 on WinXP SP2, but got error ".... is not a valid Win32 app..." (even Notepad.exe!). -Hope for detailed replies, thanks.

• Visual Studio Express Editions An error about an error

  Hi all, Sorry to bother you all yet again (I'll bet you're getting sick of me by now), but I have yet another odd question for you. When I run my program in debug mode (Press F5 in VB 2005), it comes up with an error message and highlights that exact piece of code. Here is the full block of code it picks up on, and the highlighted bit is both the error message it gives me, and the bit the debugger highlights. <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()> _ Public Property Signature_File() As Byte () Get Try Return CType ( Me ( Me .tableTime_In_Table.Signature_FileColumn), Byte ()) Catch e As System.InvalidCastException Throw New System.Data.StrongTypingException( "The value ...Show All
