• SQL Server Error with setup of SQL Server 2005 Express

  I had Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer until the recent release. I followed the uninstall instructions in order, then installed the available 2005 Express editions. Each install showed an error when installing SQL Server 2005 Express. I attempted to install SQL Server 2005 from a fresh download, and it indicated that there were still beta components on the computer. I downloaded and ran the VS Beta Uninstall tool, which did find one component (SQL Server 2005 Express CTP), but it has an error while trying to uninstall it. The message is: The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreSetupParams. The error is :Failed to read property "Installds" {"MachineConfiguration", "", [computer ...Show All

• Visual C# I cannot get Intellisense to work in C#

  When I start a new project, as soon as a put just a few components on a form and start writing code for an event, Intellisense stops working. I have to holf Ctrl+Space to see the options, step through the alphabet by typing a character at a time and holding Ctrl+Sapce again to see the next set of options. How can I get Intellisense to work Note that I have found solutions to what appears to be this very problem for C++ projects, but I do not see any relevance in these solutions for me because they talk about .h files and other things that are hidden or not present in C#. I am also having some weird issue with Intellisense in C# on VS 2003. CTRL+Space works fine but the "." doesn't work any ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Racing Game Tutorial

  Hi. A little time is past since the beta of XNA is been released. So, can someone write me a little 3D or 2D racing game tutorial Please! I think that all of us want to know how to build a racing game with XNA don't you I would be interested as well, especially the 3D version. But, you will have to give it time before anyone will be making those type of things. 2D racing games could easily be done, but making 3D racing games is something quite big to do! In time the community will make the components to easily construct 3D racing games. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can I search within results?

  I have a window full (>1000) of search hits in Find Results 1 , but I want to search each of these files for an additional string and send the results to Find Results 2 . I don't see an option to narrow my search or search the results, and opening all the files at once (to search in open documents) causes Visual Studio to run out of memory and crash. Has anyone developed a macro that will perform a search within results Thanks. If you don't mind 3rd party tools, my MZ-Tools add-in (see below) has a Find feature with multiple result tabs. Furthermore: - The Find button on the toolbar of a result tab shows the search that was used for that result tab. You can modify the searched string or search options and show the new qu ...Show All

• SQL Server Tablediff bug?

  Hey, I recognized a strange behaviour when using tablediff. Because I don't want to replicate all columns, I create two views on selected attributes and compare them. Have two tables: create table t1 (timestamp timestamp, b int PRIMARY KEY, c varchar(30)) create table t2 (b int PRIMARY KEY, c varchar(30)) and two views: create view vt1 as select b, c from t1 create view vt2 as select b, c from t2 Compare the views with tablediff and get a failure: ... vt1 and vt2 ... have different schemas and cannot be compared. Now I just find out that it works when table t2 also has a timestamp column. drop table t2 create table t2 (b int PRIMARY KEY, c varchar(30), ts timestamp) Compare the views again with tablediff and get: ... vt1 and vt2 ... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with running Continuous Integration

  I am going to be running CI, and I forsee some problems that are going to arise. I am going to be having approximately 26 team build projects that are going to be running on CI. If each of those are run say 3 times a day - that will leave me with almost 80 entries in the "integration build", "found in build", "resolved in build" fields. I would like to have these builds ignored, as I have a main build which will "sweep up" all of the work items and change sets. What is the best way to do this fyi, I tried to rename my build to CI but you can't overwrite one with the same name once it has built... I would implement it in a custom task in the build, using the command ...Show All

• SQL Server This expression doesn't work.

  I'm trying to write an expression in a text box and the expression is as below. =IIF( Parameters!Days.Value >=0 and IsDate(Parameters!FromDate.Value)=True ,Format(DATEADD(DateInterval.Day,Cint(Parameters!Days.Value), Parameters!FromDate.Value ),"yyyy/MM/dd"),"") It works ok when Parameters!Days.Value >=0 and IsDate(Parameters!FromDate.Value)=True, but when Parameters!Days.Value =0 and Parameters!FromDate.Value is nothing (i.e. Parameters!FromDate.Value=""), it doesn't work and comes up with '#Error'. However, if I change the expression to the below, it works with the exact same parameters used in the above expression. it looks to me that RS doesn't want to deal with a tiny bit complexit ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.NET C++ Debugger no longer loads DLL symbols when we attach to the host process.

  We've notice a problem recently whereby attaching the debugger to our host process no longer allows us to debug our DLLs. Repro: set a breakpoint in DLL then go to Debug-menu->Processes and attach to the host process. Result: the DLL's breakpoint is now shown with a ' ' (question mark) in it, indicating that the symbols were not loaded. This used to work OK, so we are wondering: what has changed Also, how do we fix this Here is the "Modules" screen:   SvrHub.exe 00400000-00440000 C:\XXXServer\bin\SvrHub.exe 1 0.00.0.0 [6020] SvrHub.exe: Native 18/01/2007 2:15 PM Symbols loaded.    7C900000-7C9B0000   2 &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Nesting relationships, can't link to ImageShape

  Guys, I'm having some problems setting up some relationships within my DSL. Root relations with Deployment etc etc... 1.) Deployment ---- [ 0.*] -------> Tool 2.) Tool ---- [IsSubclass of] -----> Asset 3.) Asset ---- [1.*] --------> BusinessDomain The problem is relationship #3. I simply want a 1:M between Asset and BusinessDomain so that each subclass of Asset exhibits that relation. After connecting the BusinessDomain to an ImageShape (or geometryShape for that matter), I specified the following ParentElement for the BusinessDomain class dcAssetHasdcBusinessdomains.dcAsset/!dcAsset <-- This is resolvable..... I'm tracing the parent path of the BusinessDomain class to the base class called Asse ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with DataGridView ComboBox implementation

  I think I have found a bug in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn implementation. I am allowing the user to type text directly into the ComboBox, as described in the DataGridView FAQ in this forum, # 17. The user can type in a valid value. It is rejected the first time but accepted the second time. To see the problem: (1) Create a new Windows Application project in Visual Basic .NET 2005. (Not 2003) (I am using Express Edition but I don't think this matters.) (2) Drop a new DataGridView onto the form and stretch it to fill most of the form. You can skip the dialog that comes up. It will automatically be named DataGridView1. (3) Go to the code and replace it with this: ... (4) Run the code. Follow the instructions in the top ...Show All

• Smart Device Development The difference between Windows mobile 5.0 and windows ce 5.0 ?

  According to MSDN, Windows mobile 5 is based on Windows CE 5.01 kernel but what are the differences between CE 5.0 and CE 5.01 kernel And is there a detail feature list about the comparison of Windows mobile 5 and Windows CE 5.0 Can someone help me out thanks a lot. Windows CE (now called Windows Embedded CE) is a highly customizable real time OS. Windows Mobile is a particular customization of Windows CE with PIM applications and special UI. You won’t find a list of differences between CE and WM because each CE can be customized by OS builder to serve particular purpose. Thus there can be pretty much unlimited number of CE variations with very different modules and API available for each. ...Show All
