• .NET Development DataReader problem (My final straw)

  As a newbie to VB.NET I am rather please with a project that I am completing for my university course. There is one problem that has kept me from completing my project so far, and that is that I can not extract a value from the table of and Access database. To set the scene, I have a form that inserts the values from text boxes into variables and from variables to a database table. This works fine and I have no problems here. (see code below) What I need to do next is retrieve the customerID that is auto generated in the data base, this needs to be stored as a variable in the form and then passed to the next form so that it can be used to make a booking. I have got the code that passes the variable across the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) xaml editor suggestion/bug

  Suggestion for v:next - Organize that the x:name or name attribute is always immediately after the element type eg < Button x:Name = " btnClose " < PasswordBox x:Name = " pbPassword " < TextBox x:Name = " tbEmail " < TextBlock x:Name = " lbPassword " < TextBlock x:Name = " lbEmail " < TextBlock x:Name = " tblStatus " < Button x:Name = " btnLoginGo " Makes it easier to fnd named elements. There seems to be a bug in the editor. When I add an x:name attribute to an element, the editor adds in a long xmlns string. Not sure if it always happens. I'll try to remember to capture it the next ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXViewer keeps crashing

  Hi, Just downloaded and installed the December 2006 DirectX SDK. Using XP Pro SP2 and Devstudio2005 standard edition, DXviewer keeps crashing so I opened up the source code and compiled it to see the error. "The application has failed to start because d3dx10d.dll was not found" I know that Directx10 requires Vista but how can I use the basic SDK tools under XP for directx9 learning I am not a C++ expert but can I link it to DX9 instead. Thanks Stephane The issue was the the December SDK DXViewer was linked to the DX10 libraries, so unless you had Vista and DX10 hardware it woulnd't run. As windozer pointed out this is fixed in February SDK. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project.Save behavior different from XmlDocument.Save

  Hello, I discovered the following odd difference in passing, but achieved my goal in another way. Still the following seems wrong: Doing .Save( stream ) closes the stream, it seems - atleast you cannot seek and read from it. It uses XmlDocument.Save but does not behave in the same way, AFAICS. Example: MemoryStream aStream = new MemoryStream(); TextWriter writer2 = new StreamWriter(aStream); XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.LoadXml(proj.Xml); XmlTextWriter xmlwriter = new XmlTextWriter(aStream, Encoding.UTF8); // I can use a TextWriter as well, makes no difference doc.Save(xmlwriter); aStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); // <-- OKIDOKEY! Works as expected, of course. XmlTextReader rd ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is there a PDB file in my projects Release folder?

  This is probably a deployment question, but there doesn't seem to be a deployment section in .NET Development Forum. I thought the PDB file was only for debugging purposes, so why is there a PDB file in my bin\Release folder What are the (dis)advantages of including this file in deployment It started happen in Visual Studio 2005 only, In Visual Studio 2003 it did never happen so the thing you can see that in Visual Studio you could debug assemblies only in debug mode but in 2005 you can also debug when its set to Release. Lets have more comments ;-) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Download Links for coming Updates to Documentation

  would it be possible to get download links to the current documentation (chm files) for VSTS4DBP as they are updated before RTM Both for VSTS4DBP and API's. I'm on the road quite a bit in the next week(s) and will not have online access much of the time. Since you have indicated there will be several updates before RTM I would like to have access to them offline. Thanks, Alle I wanted to give a quick update. We've got CHM files of our November update, but we're trying to figure out what hurdles we are required to jump in order to make pre-release docs available. Some folks suggested we can't release a version that doesn't have the "Pre-release" tag on all topics, there's ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie How to question

  Hello To All: This is my first post. In regards to vb5-express how do you write a code for a button that will display a change for a dollar In other words I have a textbox that ask the user to enter cents from one dollar. However I do not know how to write the correct code that will give the user change in half dollars, quarters and so on, by displaying the change in a label after the button or calculating button is pressed. Any help welcome This is a good example, if you are just starting programming in VB2005 Express (or VBE, VBExpress) - Not VB5, as this could be confusing... :) To start with, when you begin your calculation, you would start with a number (of cents). Then you would check to see how many half-dollars ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Item Templates

The problem I'm having is this: The new projects are being created correctly with the new template via (Solution2) GetProjectTemplate() but whenever I try to create the project item from its template via (Soluntion2) GetProjectItemTemplate() it throws the following exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException Message: "The system cannot find the file specified.

• SQL Server for loop expression

  I'm trying to run a data flow task inside of a for loop container. First I was attempting to set the forloop expressions using variables that I was setting by running execute sql tasks. I ran into so many problems there, I decide to try this an easier way. So I've created 3 variables, all Int32. One is called counter, one is called inc, and one is called max. The values are set to: counter=1, inc=2, max=100. I then need to set the Expressions for the for loop. SO I open the properties window, and click on Expressions on the left hand side. I've set the following: AssignExpression : @counter = @counter + @inc EvalExpression : @counter < @max InitExpression : @counter = 1 To prove to myself that the counter variable was not incrementin ...Show All

• .NET Development Q: DIA SDK not finding SymTagUDT in .NET 2.0 programs

  Hello Everyone: I have been working with the DIA SDK 8/VS 2005/.NET 2.0 for a while now. My ATL/C++/DIA SDK project can interrogate non-.NET project .pdb files just fine, but whenever I try it on .NET 2.0 projects, it never finds any of the user defined types - the SymTagUDT typed in the .pdb. Initially the project started in VS 2003. When VS 2005/.NET 2.0 came out I upgraded. As part of my testing I have removed VS 2003, .NET 1.0 and 1.1, msdia20.dll and msdia71.dll, as well as removing all references to msdia20.dll and msdia71.dll from the registry. (msdia80.dll is installed and registered.) To the best of my knowledge the project settings for the .NET 2.0 programs I want to examine have the proper settings - optimization is ...Show All
