• Visual Studio Express Editions Application has encountered a problem and needs to close

  Hello, I'm trying to get familiar with Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and create simple applications. Everything is OK, if I run them on the same machine where VS2005 is. When I try to run them on different computers I encounter following problem: - if application is compiled in "debug" mode, message appears: "application is not well configured, try to reinstall program" - if application is compiled in "release" mode - "myapp.exe has encountered a problem and need to close" I'm using Platform SDK and want to create simple form application, using following tutorials: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/hellocli_part2.asp  and http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/hellocli_part1.asp . Even if I do "pure .NET" applic ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Help with comma separated values in report

  Hi! A bit of a stuck-up. It’s no problem in creating a coma separated fields in .txt kind of file. But I have another problem which is probably simple to manage (not for me though - my brains work 24hrs/day and don’t come up with nothing). I want to show several different values from one field (in query) on the report - now check this - They have to be separated by a comma in one line. If anybody is familiar with the solution just show me the direction and I’ll try to solve it by myself. Thanks in advance I'll do my best. If I don't succeede - then I'd apreciate your further help. Thanks for all the help so far.. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Task Due Date on Collect Feedback Workflow

  We are using the Collect Feedback workflow on a document library. If I start the workflow with a due date of 2/22/2007, the user will get an email on the 22nd stating the task is overdue, because the time on the due date defaults to 12:00AM. Also, I don't want to create a workflow that updates the time since the update itself would send an email to the "Assigned To" person. Any suggestions Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Publishing to TFS improperly changes Saved property of Project file. Help!

  How can I trick Project to think an enterprise project file has not changed -Or- Publish to Team Foundation Server without alterting the Saved property of the Project file I have a business need to publish an enterprise project plan to both Project Server 2003 AND to Team Foundation Server.(TFS) I have solved most of the problems but one. I have written a Macro in Project Pro 2003 to publish a project to TFS , and it works fine. (I first save the project file and publish to Project Server.) Here's my problem:  Publishing to TFS somehow sets the project "Saved" property to false (indicating that the file has changed since last published to Project Server.

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# Program Ideas

  Hello, I am trying to learn C# and so I have been reading the book and doing the sample apps, but now I would like to go a little farther. I want to write an app that I can sharpen and learn more with C#, but I am out of ideas for applications. I could write a game and that might not be bad, but I was wonder if anyone had any ideas for a program. I feel like a writter who just can not come up with an idea for a book. So any Ideas Cryptography might be an interesting topic. Buy a book on the history of cryptography and write programs that implement coders/decoders or perhaps code breakers. You will do a lot of string manipulation, arrays etc. Try to write the code using object oriented programming principle ...Show All

Would be good to see a comment here from one of the XNA dev's with regards to if they can see any negatives with this or is there anything that they believe wont be currently possible to do in vb.net. I know they dont 'officially' support vb.net at the minute with XNA - but would be good to see what they think. ...Show All

• .NET Development Conencting to access database (ADODB)

  I'm trying to construct a simple as possible piece of code to read out data from an access database.

• Visual Studio OLAP Data Sources

  Hi, Does the ReporViewer control support reporting on OLAP / Multi dimentional data sources such as Essbase Thanks. Step 1: You have to use an OLE-DB Data connection and run the OLAP SQL query. This returns more data than what you need but it does return the data. Then you load that data onto the local report. Step 2: Now for the tricky part which took some hard core figuring out......ready.....You cannot load the local report just by giving the "ReportPath". You actually have to read the file into an "string" and then replace some things and then load it onto the LocalReport dynamically. What you have to replace is the under your olap "Dataset" there are &q ...Show All

• Visual Basic Out of Disk Space Exception

  Hello, I have an app that writes Word documents through interop, then assists the user in managing open documents. The app may have one or more instances of the Word Application object open, with one or more active documents per application object. Users are reporting that at times (it seems to be only when more than one instance of the application object is running, but that may be wrong) when the user tries to save or close the document, they get an Out of Disk Space exception. This exception is invalid, because the location that the documents are saved to is a network share with about 500GB free space. I have not been able to recreate the error on my development machine, and so have no clue how to go about handling the exception. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies wds 3.0 b2 - not indexing within .one files (OneNote) ?

  Hi, According to the FAQ, wds will search within .one file types, but in my install (admittedly possibly corrupt), wds does not find strings known to be stored within a .one file in an indexed directory. Is this just another bug of my install, or has something else changed Background: my current install of wds 3.0b2 (over a previously 'ok' install of wds 2.6.5) no longer shows in it's advanced GUI options any filetypes past those beginning with .mda. So perhaps the lack of .one is in fact reflecting that my search index isn't building extensions past (A-M) and thus it's not simply a GUI exclusion of .one, but a real lack of indexing. Supporting odd fact: my complete wds 3.0b2 index is about 6% of known file count, and wds 2.6.5 achieved c ...Show All
