• Visual Studio Team System FxCop.exe Error on Open

  I've installed FxCop 1.35 and was using it for a couple days. Now, every time I try to open FxCop it opens with the following error: FxCop.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. FxCopCmd.exe runs fine. It will generate the issues correctly. I've re-installed, renamed the manifest (as suggested in a existing post), with no success. When I click on an existing fxcop file I get the error: Control does not support transparent background colors Any ideas how to resolve the issue Can you try deleting the files contained within C:\Documents and Settings\davkean\Application Data\Microsoft FxCop\1.32 If that doesn't work, make sure you se ...Show All

• Windows Forms bootstrapper ExternalCheck order

  Is it okay for the ExternalCheck of one prerequisite to depend on an earlier prerequisite I'd like to write an external check program (for a SQL Express SP1 install with a custom instance name) in .NET. Before running this installer, the end user might not have .NET installed. Are all of the InstallChecks executed before anything is installed, or are they interleaved with the installs themselves Thanks. Yes... it's a bit fancy though, you need to use something called "schedules". Check the J# bootstrapper package for the best example. It requires .NET Fx to be installed. It's a little different since the External check is not a .NET based binary, so there might be a complication... but ...Show All

• .NET Development File search

  Is there anything in the .net library that would allow me to search for a file on a pc, ie. sql2005 installer I need a method that allows me to search specific locations for specified files rather than just checking a predefined path ie File.Exists(filename) as the user may have moved those files to a different location. ta Mark Just keep in mind that this could take a heck of a long time, so it'd probably be best if you did it in a background thread. Providing progress information would also not be possible with AllDirectories, it's either running or finished. Of course, if you rolled your own directory recursion for the search, you'd get progress, but probably at the expense of overall speed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I specify Data files for ClickOnce deployment?

  Hi to all, I have an application that uses 2 CSV files. The application sucessfully runs on my development system, but bombs when Run after ClickOnce deployment.

• Visual Basic data storage

  As posted in another thread, I'm planning to build an accounting program. I'm wondering what would be the best way to store the data, using databases or perhaps XML There will be over 50 administrations and several users. Would one database per administration be most efficient considering one administration will usually be accessed by one user at a time Using XML probably means smaller file sizes and therefore less network traffic, but databases offer more functionality. Anyone has experience with this Any help would be welcome. Regards, Eric Okay, I see what you are saying. I thnink you need to think about your overall goal. It may be that these businesses are the same (structure wise), but it may be e ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Customizing Toolbar in IE7

  I am having a small problem. I have TWO search boxes on my browser.. One for Google toolbar, and the one that was originally there on IE7... I set my default to google. I cannot find how to get rid of the original search bar (to the right of the address bar) and just keep the google toolbar search box.. There is no option that I can find to just have the top row be an address bar..Any suggestions.. I cant even tell google toolbar to take away its search box, it is automatic.. It is ridiculous to have TWO search boxes on the toolbar.. Anyone know a way I've tried everything I know.. Thx JP If you ask me, you get less options with the new, and not being able to remove stupid features (search bar)  ...Show All

  Can a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database file be deployed on a file share and be accessed by multiple (5-10) concurrent users This is a current scenario being implemented at several sites using MS Access databases. Each client would have the SQLce engine installed on it and would only access the database via a managed C# application. .... which is another good reason to use datasets with CE rather than the much pushed recordset model.... ie open connection fill dataset close connection would allow a certain amount of sharing Brian ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Who is using XACT?

  If you are using or considering XACT for your product, could you let us know Recently we heard from a developer who was about ready to ship an XACT title, and we had no idea. We try to provide as much direct support to early adopters as we can, help them with any problems they bump into, etc; we can also adjust and prioritize our features based on real-world usage. So, if you're using XACT "secretly", please come out the woodwork and let us know, and maybe we can help. Thanks!
