• Visual Studio Express Editions shlwapi.h not found

  I have some source that needs shlwapi.h, but the compiler cannot find it. I searched the entire Platform SDK tree, the file simply does not exist. ShLwApi.Lib does exist, but not the header file. I already tried a Repair install of the Platform SDK, but the header file is still missing. Since I did not install everything of the Platform SDK (for disk space reasons), there's a remote chance that I left out some feature that would contain the header file, but I can't imagine which one.   mojo_risin wrote: Where can I download Web Workshop The Web Workshop is a component of the Platform SDK .

SSIS comes with SQL Server 2005.

• Windows Forms Listbox to show options from a related table

  On a Windows form, I have textboxes to show data rows of a main table. The main table has a foreign key to a minor table which is a list of status values ("Pending", "In Progress" and "Done"). The object is to display the status in a listbox or combobox. I want to know how to do this. Some notes: 1) The code to set up connections, DataAdapters, CommandBuilders, bindingsources, Datasets, etc works fine. 2) I would like to set up any constructs in code rather than with a wizard. 3) Unless I have to I want to avoid creating the relationship between the tables in the wizard. 4) I get the sense that one Dataset can access and update both tables, but I don't know how to tell the dataset about additional tables. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using removehandler for unknown events

  Does anyone know if it's possible to remove an event handler when you don't know the name of the event handler sub Let's say I define an event handler: Sub EventHandler() ' Handle the event. MsgBox( "EventHandler caught event." ) End Sub I add the event handler: AddHandler Obj.Ev_Event, AddressOf EventHandler Then if I need to remove the event: RemoveHandler Obj.Ev_Event, AddressOf EventHandler BUT, let's say I don't know the name of event handler (EventHandler). Is there a way to remove an event handler if you don't know the name of the actual sub Thanks! No, I don't think this is possible in VB.NET. In C#, an event is a simple instance of a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug: 2005 is missing in Add/remove program and setup dialog boxes in some part

  Small bug in the setup: The 2005 part of the product is missing in the setup in some parts. It is only Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals instead of Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals as it is in pictures and the rest of the VS 2005 team family products have. I guess they should appear next to each other in Add/remove programs since they are part of the same team family. Best regards Niklas Engfelt I saw that it is missing in the ReadMe of CTP5 as well. In the Requirements it says that you should have Visual Studio Professional Edition. If you are not having any year, that is the 2002 version, and I think that is not working with Database Edition. ...Show All
