• .NET Development Issue with generating schema from XML

  Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 team edition for software developers. I am facing an issue while trying to generate a shema (xsd) from an existing Xml file. The IDE just hangs with the status 'waiting for parse to complete'. The XML i am using is a simple one and i have already got the XSD for it from a VS 2005 installed from another machine. Anyone faced this issue before Thanks, Mujir The issue got resolved somehow, but still not sure why it failed the first time. Here is the XML. <NICConfiguration> <nics guid="{68f05bfb-fbf9-4d29-87ac-9fa571d39db7}" Name="TestNic" Count="1" IsMasterValid="True"> <nicId Index="0" Is ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to wrap a DSL diagram inside a Windows Form

  I want to embed my DSL Diagram inside some standard Windows buttons and menus etc - though with all of that still inside a VS window. This turns out to be pretty easy. Here's how: Make a User Control inside your DslPackage project. (In Solution Explorer, right click on DslPackage > Add > User Control.) If you want to put it inside a Custom folder inside the DslPackage project, make sure the namespace doesn't get ".Custom" at the end of it. I cheated and created the file in the main package then moved it into the folder. If you create it directly in the Custom folder, you have to open both of the generated code files to fix the namespaces. Using the usual WinForms editor, add your buttons and menus and ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView, control how "sort arrow" in column header is painted/displayed?

  Is it possible to control how the sort arrow is displayed It appears as a medium grey (rgb 128,128,128) and I see no way of changing that at all. I have searched these forums and Google extensively. All I want to do is change the sort arrow to be white, to match my column header text. Is this possible Even if I must deal with the DGV's OnPaint event and paint it myself, that's fine. Thanks. Hi Both column and row headers can be further customized by implementing custom painting by handling the CellPainting event on the grid. Note that if you do custom painting, you must do all the painting of the header cell yourself, and then set the Handled property on the event argument to true private void OnCellPai ...Show All

• SQL Server Basic rounding question

  Hi, I've just started SSR2005 this week, and I'm unsure of how to round down a number in my expression. My code is: =reportitems!TotalSeconds.Value Mod 60 Basically, the total seconds could be coming in as 74.564, but I want the remainding seconds after dividing by 60. In other words, I would want to return 14, rather than 14.564. I have noticed that if I put N0 in the format, it rounds it up. Also I'm not sure how to use the round function, and it would appear to round up ( ). Can somebody help please Thanks, Dan. Hello Dan, Can you try this and see if it fixes your issue: =Floor( reportitems!TotalSeconds.Value Mod 60 ) Hope this helps. Jarret ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Getting Mouse Events for BHO

  Hi, I'm making a BHO for IE written as a COM dll in C++. I was wondering if there was a way to trap mouse events like mouseover a link, mouseout of a link etc. The only way I can think of now is to embed a javascript code in the document, but that's pretty messy and I am not totally comfortable with it. Also, is there an interface that would let me embed a page within the current document open in IE Thank you for any help.

• Visual Studio Team System Visio Hotfix/bugs

  Are their any hotfixes patches for Visio 2005 for EA (AKA 11.6613.8107 SP2). I had some hotfixes for Visio 03 for EA that fixed the bug where if you have a unique index everytime you Database:Model:Refresh, the Unique Indexes get duplicated in the model (U1, U2, U3 .....). I think this one was: kb 321145. I am not sure though if this was the kb or if it works for 05. Also in 05 it doesn't flip the bold attribute for null columns anymore (bug). I thought this was: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=128195&SiteID=1 KB 921209; but it didn't fix it.  Oops it does fix it, after you Database:Model:Refresh.
