• Visual Studio Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition Upgrade

  I currently have Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition. Are there any upgrade options for Visual Studio .NET It seems the "Professional Edition" would most meet my needs.... Thanks for the prompt response. I meant in terms of the purchasing aspect ;-) I note that there is a " Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition Upgrade) " - but I can't find anywhere that tells me what the qualifying products are. If I need to purchase new, which product would give me the most future proof stream Also, I'd want to generate "legacy applications" without tying consumers in to having to have the very latest OS / Libraries / Frameworks installed. Many thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms scroll to bottom of a textbox

  Sorry for duplication of posting - also posted under a slightly different topic as it seemed relevant. Seems like a simple idea I just want my text box to display already scrolled down to the max. My code fragment is included below. What I want is for the textbox to contain the reams of info (don't know if it matters but includes newlines) stored in my arrayofoptions object - but to display only the final 3 lines or so (but in such a way that if anyone wants to scroll up they can). Any help greatfully received. Thanks Dim pretext As TextBox = New TextBox() pretext.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(5, 10) pretext.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(510, 50) pretext.ReadOnly = True pretext.Multiline = T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I set premissions to restict viewing other projects in TFS

  I want to be able to restrict the list of projects that users can see in TFS. I only want them to know about the projects they are assinged to. I do not even want the other projects to show up in a listbox. I removed the permissions for [Server]\Team Foundation Valid Users from each project. This didn't make a difference. I then went to the top level and removed the View server-level information permission from [Server]\Team Foundation Valid Users but the users could no longer access any projects. Is there a way top do what I'm looking for Sorry I don't think you can do this Assigning View server-level information permission for [Server]\Team Foundation Valid Users will enable all users (as all g ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development background video loop

  I want to have a menu page that has PEVOB001.MAP looping in the background...I have set up a title for it with it s the firstplay...but I am not getting anything playing...any help In theory 35 frames (more than 1/2 a second) should be more than enough to get the event and initiate the jump (assuming you aren't already running a runaway script that never terminates); it would only be an issue if you did it in (say) the last couple of frames. But maybe there is some other issue here that I am not aware of. There is no perfect way of doing it, I am afraid, other than using a playlist application (which persists across titles). A property value for "onEnd" that looped without restarting the title applications probably w ...Show All

• SQL Server update variables with scripting task

  Helo, I'm using a simple scripting task to update the value of a variable: Public Sub Main() Dim EndeJahr As String EndeJahr = InputBox("Text") Dts.Variables("EndYear").Value = EndeJahr MsgBox(Dts.Variables("EndYear").Value) Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub The Package is working fine and the message box shows the actual value. My problem is that when I change the of value of my variable, the value of variable is not changing, when I restart my package!!! What's the problem any ideas Jonas, How are you running the package. You really don't want to do input boxes in packages. If you want to interface with the package from an outside application, you can use the object model. ...Show All

• SQL Server Books Online reply to Barry Andrew

  I have registered to use SQL server 2005 Express Edition.  I want to download relevant documentation for books online. The guidance for this is to download the 'SqlServer2k5_BOL_Jul2006.msi' software. When I initiate this download:- (1) I get a message from my ISP (I.e AOL) saying the publisher coud not be verified, and asking if I wanted to run this software. (2) when I press 'run' software is downloaded to a tmp file, and I get the option to install. (3) On clicking the install button, a Windiws Installer message appears - this states that ' the installation package cannot be opened and suggests contacting the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package.

• Visual Studio MSBuild task does not propagate Configuration property for referenced project assemblies

  I have a solution with three projects, A, B, and CustomWrapper. A and B have a Debug, Retail, and a "Custom" configuration. The "Custom" configuration just has a different set of options (constants defined, assemblies referenced, optimation choices, etc). B depends on A and has a ProjectReference to A as such: <ItemGroup> < ProjectReference Include="..\A\A.csproj"> <Project>{2AE75F5A-CD1F-4925-9647-AF4D1C282FB4}</Project> <Name>A</Name> </ProjectReference> </ItemGroup> CustomWrapper is a project that should build the "Custom" configuration of A and B, independent of what configuration is currently selected for the solution in VS.

• Visual Basic ProgressBar colours.

  I want to change the little blocks on a progressbar to red at a specific event, then back again to their original colour at another event. I also want to have them as blue, on another bar.   Asday wrote: I want to change the little blocks on a progressbar to red at a specific event, then back again to their original colour at another event.

• Windows Forms Unwanted Selectindex event fired up!!

  I have a combobox control in my winform, when the form loads "selectedIndex event handler" fires up with out any reason, how is it posible obviously, this is something bad if you want put some code into the eventhandler block to manage this event. If it helps i heared that this is some kind of frameWork bug. Any Idea about how can I solve this situation This is standard behavior (it is not a bug).  A lot goes on behind the scenes when a form is initially created.  The SelectedIndexChanged event can be raised as many as three times (or more) before the form ever displays. To handle this, every routine you write in a SelectedIndexChanged event handler should always check to see if the SelectedInde ...Show All

• Visual C++ Calling C# from unmanaged C++

  I've been searching a bit and I'm just getting twisted around about what I need to do here. Apologies if this has been answered many times, but I haven't been able to find it. I have a C# class library containing a form called DisplayWindow. It is being built succesfully. Now, I'd like to be able to call my DisplayWindow form to load from some C++ code. Once loaded, I'll be making additional calls into the DisplayWindow from C++. I've seen some examples using COM, but that doesn't look quite like what I want to do. Also, I've seen some stuff for calling C++ from C#, and that looks much easier... Can anyone help with this Thanks! Okay, I'm definitly not a COM-programmer.

• Windows Forms ComboBox and TextChanged again (or still)

  Hi, I see a couple of posts around this topic but oddly, not this exact question, at least not with an answer. I created two projects, both Windows Application, one in VB 2005, one in C#. I have .NET 2.0 installed. Each project consists of a form with a single ComboBox, and the DropDownStyle of the ComboBox is DropDown. I need to be able to catch both changes to the selection in the list or keyboard edits in the box. In both programs, I add an item to the drop down list when I load the form. Then, I try selecting and then editing. In VB, selecting the item first fires the ComboBox1_TextChanged sub and then the ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged sub. Editing fires only the ComboBox1_TextChanged. This is fine. In C#, however, selecti ...Show All
