• .NET Development Ink Overlay Handle Leak

  I have an application which seems to have a handle leak due to using the InkOverlay class. Every time I open a form that creates a new instance of InkOverlay it increases my handle count by 10. When I close and dispose of the form, my handle count only drops by 5. I am using NET 1.1 at this point on a desktop application that can also be run on a table PC. Below is a simple application that I have used to test this theory. public class Test : System . Windows . Forms . Form { private System . ComponentModel . Container components = null ; public InkOverlay oInk; public Test ( ) { InitializeComponent ( ) ; oInk = new InkOverlay ( ) ; } protected override void Dispose ( bool disposing ) { oIn ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP 3.0 on XP

  I need VFP for a small project, and I don't want to spend USD 600 for a new version (is there a beta version still available ) Is it ok to install VFP 3.0 on Win XP Thank you, Tor Henrik Beta is not available anymore. In any case you should not deliver software based on a Beta version as it is bound to be slow and buggy. That's why it's in Beta. VFP 3 will install but you are talking of the oldest, buggiest, less-capable VFP version. I would reconsider. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Specifying custom properties for Unit Tests at class level

  Hi, I am having a test project with one class "UnitTest1". "UnitTest1" is having 10 unit test methods say "TestMethod1" to "TestMethod10". Now I can define custom properties for any testmethod by doing like this: [TestProperty("PropertyName", "PropertyValue")] Now if I want to define the same custom property for all 10 tests in my testclass then I've to repeat the above statement 10 times. I don't want to do it. Because say a property "Reviewer" is applicable for all tests and I expect the same value for "Reviewer" for all tests with in a testclass. So I want to define such property at higher level(Test Class) so that it become applicab ...Show All

• SQL Server Configure connection strings for deployment to different servers

  Hi, We currently have a test and development environment for our data warehouse which is using SSIS packages to build (SSIS packages call stored procedures). We have multiple connections accross the different packages. The problem that we are having is when we deploy the packages to the development environment, the connection strings in the packages are still pointing to the live server! Hence, when we run these packages in the test environment, they actually execute the stored procedures in our live server. I have tried to use package configurations and the deployment utility to assist us in this regard but have still come up with a few problems: - When running the deployment utility, I still have to go and manually type ...Show All

• Architecture Application Architecture for Dynamic Data Capture (loans application)

  An enterprise loan application we are designing requires that the loan application data capture forms change periodically (e.g. every 6-12 months). This includes changing the UI and the data captured. The current incarnation of the application has all the UI in the database (yes, the fields, their type, screen location, etc) and the data is stored as a highly generic name-value-pair in a table. The users also require the ability to be able to look at any loan application data, at any point in time, displayed in the original format. By having this data driven approach, our automated unit testing is very difficult, we cannot leverage existing tools for UI development or for data object generation, and we compromise scalability, UI independan ...Show All

• SQL Server Export cube browser data to excel

  Hi All, Is there a way to export data directly from the browser of a cube into excel formats ( Just like we have a export option in reporting services.) STorne I am curious about this myself, as it'd be so easy/convenient However, I don't think there's such option I do it now by either taking screenshots, or use Excel PivotTable (which is still not quite handy as the Cube Browser, either in VS2005 or SSMS) ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameter Text Box Width

  Is there any way to manually change the width of the text box for a parameter I know that reporting services is supposed to automatically resize the text box to accomodate larger values, but it isn't getting wide enough for some of the values I have. Thanks, Joel If you search the forum a bit you will see some good posts on customizing the Cascading Style Sheets that control this. As far as I have seen, this is the only way. It is not a configurable setting of the report design process. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is IntelliSense going to be fixed?

  Hi, What improvements are going to be made in Orcas with respect to IntelliSense Right now IntelliSense is effectively broken in VS 2005 with or without SP 1. We currently have it disabled for reasons which can be found here: VS .Net 2005, how to disable IntelliSense... It is a real shame since it worked reasonably well in VS 2003 (it even worked okay in VS 2005 Beta1, it was Beta2 that killed it). Our top issue is with performance, both the initial generation time and on invocation. For example, as our NCB files approach 50 megabytes, just the pop up of an in-editor tooltip can take 30-60 seconds to show, while blocking the editor (no typing) until it does. You have no idea how unbelievably frustrating this is, and our top of the line ...Show All
