• .NET Development Problems compiling/linking in VC++ 2005

  Hello We have a huge problem transferring our project from VS2003 to VS2005. Everything works fine with 2003, but we want to add some new functionality using the advantages of .Net 2.0. After fixing the errors resulting from compiler changes in most of the projects, the last (and largest) project creating the exe wouldn't even compile the precompiled header properly. It used a lot (2 GB) of memory and it took about 30 min to compile it. After changing the order of some includes this works better, but it still takes longer than in 2003, and the problem reappears if you try to compile the precompiled header with the /clr switch. So I first stuck to native code and got my hopes up, when I finally saw the linker, but it was very ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't deploy my project

  DTS is a sysadmin, serveradmin. It still can't deploy SSAS project, why the error is "Error 1 Either the 'WCSQL1\DTS' user does not have permission to create a new object in 'WCSQL1', or the object does not exist. 0 0 " Thanks! Katie When you say "sysadmin", "serveradmin" - I think you mean that he has these permissions on SQL Server. You need to grant this user permissions on Analysis Services - go to Management Studio, and then on Server Properties -> Security tab, add WCSQL1\DTS user into server role. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any way to create BreadCrumb navigation in Navbar?

  In a WPF Browserlike app I'd like to show a breadcrumb navigation bar instead of the 'back' and 'next' buttons, showing a trail of the pages the user has visited, offering to go back to any page by clicking the breadcrumb. Can this be done in the controltemplate of the NavigationWindow This would contain the same pages as the navigation dropdown list does. Just in case it's not clear what I'm talking about I added a small project , showing a static navigation where I would have liked the automatic one. Thanks, Sam Replace the Grid you have with this < Grid DockPanel.Dock = " Top " Margin = " 9 " > < Grid.ColumnDefinitions > < ColumnDefinition /> ...Show All

• Visual C# Long serial number.

  Dear All, I have problem here with my long serial numbers. My length of serial numbers are in the range of 20 to 30 digits. So what I did i know that the database cant support that long of int so I kept in database as varchar. The problem now is that when I do a select from the database I need to group this serial number base on their number in terms of difference of 1. Ex. I have a list of serial say as below 12345678909999999991 12345678909999999992 12345678909999999993 444444489099999999913 444444489099999999914 So when I run the for loop I will store the first value that is 12345678909999999991 then compare with the next one that is 12345678909999999992 so the difference is 1 then compare the second value of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Static Data Management

  Hello, This is probably a stupid question, but I'm starting to play around with Data Generation scripts for unit tests in my database project, and I have a query about what I would call static or system data. For example, the data generation scripts take care of user data, but what about tables of types or the equavalent of enums for instance, a UserType table which contained data such as: UserTypeId | Description ---------------------------------- 1 | Standard User 2 | System administrator 3 | Editor Or similar The IDs would have to stay constant thoughout the system, so either I create a deployment script that creates the data or use the data generation tools. If I use a deployment script, will (1) the data ...Show All

• Visual Studio Another question regarding VSS2005 integration but with Visual Studio 6.0

  Hi all, I read in the VSS2005 read-me that came with it that VSS6.0d and earlier versions of VSS should be uninstalled prior to installing VSS2005. My scenario on a clean PC: 1. I installed Visual Studio 6.0 without the Visual SourceSafe item from their custom setup window. 2. Then, I installed Visual SourceSafe 2005. I started Visual Basic 6.0 but I do not have the SourceSafe add-in!! What gives I re-tried the Visual Studio 6.0 installation but this time, I added the Visual SourceSafe item from their custom setup window. Now, I have the SourceSafe add-in. My question is that if the VSS2005 is supposed to be backwards compatible, why is the add-in not installed for VB6 Does this mean that I should also upgrade the V ...Show All

• Windows Forms Check versioning of client applications

  Hi everyone, I've recently been assigned a project to create a windows form application that will check and report a file version for a variety of client applications. In it's most simple form, if we want the user to check for... say... Macromedia Flash Player version 8, and the user has version 8+, it gives a green checkmark, otherwise it gives the dreaded red 'X'. My questions this... .net 2.0 has some great support in regards to the fileversioninfo class, so checking my versions and such will be easy, but how do I go about searching for such files My approach may be to search for a reg key, find the target path, and use that to point me to the appropriate .exe. Is there an easier, more direct, and/or better approach to this scenar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Process does not exit when using Process.Start & WaitForExit

  if i start another CF app using the following code in NetCF2.0 the app never exits, it just seems to hang Dim p As New Process Dim info As New ProcessStartInfo( "Sync.exe" , "1") p.StartInfo = info p.Start() p.WaitForExit() If i run the app manually or step through it then it exits as expected.

• .NET Development Stopwatch class not found in System::Diagnostics ?

  I am using VC++ 2005. In several projects that I have created I have never had this problem but now that I created a DLL project (used the Win32 wizard), I am having this weird problem where the System::Diagnostics namespace shows up a few namespaces and classes, but not nearly all that belong there. For example, the CodeAnalysis namespace is shown, then ConditionalAttribute, DebuggableAttribute, Debugger, and so on until SymbolStore, which is the last namespace/class listed. No Stopwatch and many other namespaces and classes that should be there. What is wrong It must have something to do with the project settings but I don't even know where to look to find the missing namespaces and classes. Any idea Thanks. Kamen Thank you very ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to manage multi users in load test ?

  Hi: I have a multi-user(with different logins and different rights) web application that everytime creates a unique product. I thinking about how to manage users to generate the load.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is it possible to send user tracking records during Activity Initialize() ?

  Hi I use SqlTrackingService & Activity.TrackData to save the status of my workflows and activities at various points in their lifecycle. These track points are business-logic aware stages in the lifecycle such as approved, skipped, completed by manager etc. I write the status of the activity or workflow instance to the tracking service using Tracking Extracts. This works fine, with one major problem: user tracking records written during Activity Initialize() do not appear in the Tracking DB. I have a custom tracking channel/service which writes to the console and this shows the same behaviour when run with the equibvalent tracking profile. This is problematic as I need to record the state of the activity at initialization so that users ...Show All
