• Visual Studio Express Editions Change rich text box color vb2005

  hi How can i changed selected line background color on rich text box Thanks Shady, Looks like you are building a RTB editor. You might want to download my RTB editor (not perfect, but lots of bells and whistles to look at.) It's code shows how to do most of the questions you have posted. http://users.adelphia.net/~gcumbia/printrtfnow.zip (See, I even have a typo in the project name I gave it. should have been 'PrintRTBnow'. But I left the name alone because changing the top level folder name in a project sometimes messes things up.) ...Show All

• Visual Basic diplaying bitmap from access database

  I've seen this question posted a few times but no good results. I'm simply loading a dataset from access that happens to have a bitmap stored in a field. I have a listview with a list of CD's by Album/Artist, when I click on one of the CD's I want detailed info to populate below, including a pic box with the stored bitmap.

• Visual Studio Team System Schema compare locks up

  I ran a schema compare between two live databases. While in the process of choosing to skip certain objects, I clicked on update for an object and the application froze. I checked task manager and my processor was at 100% and devenv.exe had 99% of the CPU cycles. After 4-5 minutes, I killed the process. I had tried the same compare multiple times. It seems to function properly the first time I select schema compare, choose objects to skip, and then script the changes, but on the second time I execute it, on about the 20th change from update to skip, the visual studio freezes. This is the trial version of visual studio team suite with the database professional edition and I have applied the team services service pack. ...Show All

• SQL Server Report in Calendar/schedule layout

  Is it possible to produce a report which is displayed as a calendar, similar to outlook im using rs2000 with no option of an upgrade to 2005 any help would be appreciated!

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build result not showing in the Builds Report

  Hi, I created a team build and used Approach #2 in http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/26/485368.aspx to build VS.NET 2003 solution file. However, after the build succeeded and warehouse refreshed, I am not able to see this result in the Builds Report. Is there some target missing in this approach The only difference I see here is that SolutionToBuild item is not defined. So the CoreCompile target is skipped. Does it affect the reporting Thanks, -hengyi Commenting out SolutionToBuild means that there's nothing to build.  If you don't build anything, there's nothing to add to the warehouse, so the build won't show up.

• .NET Development Has anyone written .NET Client to consume Java Web Services?

  I'm planning to write a web service client in .NET c# to consume a web service provided by a customer, which is written in Java and runing on Apache web server. Has anybody done this before Could you share what I need to be aware of TIA Also, it helps me alot creating my web services according the Contract-First principal. I create my WSDL mostly using the Eclipse WST WSDL editor, which is very nice and free. Then you can create a Service Endpoint in Java or .Net using wscompile.exe for Java or wsdl.exe /server (or the add-on from ThinkTecture) for .Net to create the SEI. Everything depends on your wsdl, so starting there is a good way to promote interoperability, in my mind. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart Tag dependency on .Net 1.1

  We are targeting Office 2003 with Framework 2.0 only on the machines. This presents a scenario where the Smart Tags does not load even when the CASPOL is set for Framework 2.0. We have applied the solution as defined at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002 however this does not seem to have any effect. I was however able to make the same code built on Framework 2.0 work in Office 2007/Vista using the new PIA's for Office 2007. I have noticed a few posts indicating the solution is to have Frmaework 1.1 deployed, this presents another issue as each framework is about 26 MB and Change Management Solutions used to deploy these will have to pull it all over the network.
