• Visual Studio Team System Using AdditionalVCOverrides

  I'm looking for suggestions on how break down the following into a more generic solution so that only the library directories from the proper Platform and Flavor are used: < AdditionalVCOverrides > %3CTool Name=%22VCLinkerTool%22 AdditionalLibraryDirectories=%22$(BinariesRoot)\win32\release%3B$(BinariesRoot)\win32\debug;%22 /%3E%0D%0A </ AdditionalVCOverrides > I've tried to use solutions similar to the following, but with no luck so far: <AdditionalVCOverrides>%3CTool Name=%22VCLinkerTool%22 AdditionalLibraryDirectories=%22$(BinariesRoot)\%(ConfigurationToBuild.PlatformToBuild)\%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild)%22 /%3E%0D%0A</AdditionalVCOverrides> Currently, ...Show All

• Visual C# Why Won't My App Run on Windows 2003 Server?

  I am taking my first stab at writing an application in C#. My App is designed to watch a folder and report any created deleted or modified files. I created a simple form where changes are wrtiiten to a textbox, and concequently to a log file. I used the FileSystemWatcher Object, and wrtie to the text box and log file on the change events. This application runs fine on my XP machine, but fails to even launch on my 2003 server. I tried just a normal form on my 2003 server and it ran fine. Anything that could point me in the right direction would be great.

• Visual Studio Use dataset in Custom code

  I have 2 datasets, one with five dates and the other with the main data for the report. These five dates will be column headings for the report. Since there isn't function for getting, the Second, Third, etc. like there is for First(), I'm creating some custom code to get the date. I thought I could do something like: Public Function GetDateField(Idx as Integer) GetDateField = dsDates.Rows(Idx).Item("record_date") End Sub but that's not working with "dsDates has not been defined." How do you work with the dataset in Custom Code Thanks in advance to anyone who can give the syntax for this.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ToDataTable() and null values

  //Create DataSet DataSet someset = new DataSet (); //Fill DataSet DataClassFillSet(someset); //QueryDataSet var q = from o in someset. Customer select new { o.CustomerID, o.NullSometimes }; //Make data table out of our query. DataTable atable = q.ToDataTable();   The NullSometimes throws an exception when the value in the column is null, how does one avoid this I think the problem is that this is a strongly typed dataset and the null value is being cast to a type, which fails. How can I tell linq to check nulls Are the null values on a value type (like Int, Guid, DateTime, etc) If so, the CTP implementation doesn't handle these. There are ways to work around it, but no ...Show All

• Visual C# Convert the following line from Class Diagram to code ?

  Hello Guys, I got a class diagram and it had something like this +Find(obj:Object):ICollection<Test> Now to move this to code... I have a Test Class so this is what I did public ICollection<Test> Find(Object obj) { //Now the Test class doesn't inherit ICollection, if I need to return the Result how should I do it. Or do I need to make change to Test class (keeping in mind that code is written by someone else and I can make almost no changes there) } Please advise.... Thanks, Harsimrat Sorry, my mistake. you have to use a class that implements the interface. List<Test> result = new List<Test>(0); // add your find objects with result. ...Show All

  I have a web form that enables users to enter an address, and is supposed to return a latitude and longitude for that address.
