• Visual C++ Reverse Engineering with Visual C++ 2005

  Hi there, I've installed VS2005 Professional and Visio Professional 2003 SP2. According to MSDN there should be a way to reverse engineer an existing C++ project: ' From the Project menu point to Visio UML, and then click Reverse Engineer. ' Unfortunately, there is no corresponding menue item at all in VS. Do I have to configure this first Thanks for any advice Artschi Viorel. wrote: Maybe Visual Studio 2005 and Visio 2003 cannot be used together Perhaps the UML diagrams of Visio 2003 works with older Visual Studio 2003 only Maybe you should try a newer Visio That's the reason! Thanks for the answer! PS: I just found another thread: Visio 2003 Pro and UML Reverse Engin ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2:Scanning network drives

  Hi, In WDS 2.6.5 it was possible to scan network drives. In WDS 3.0 Beta 2 this is not possible. When will this feature be returning. As it stands, due to My Documents being redirected and other files being stored on network locations WDS 3.0 isn't much use in a corporate environment. Cheers Janson Hi Paul, Because WDS 3.0 Beta 2 won't index network drivers, I'm back to using WDS 2.6.5 with Outlook 2007 B2TR. However, I often get crashes in Outlook 2007 that I think are attributed to WDS 2.6.5 (crashing in olmapi.dll, which belongs to the Outlook add-in). Any chance we'll see an update in WDS 3.0 that will index network drives Thanks, Tim ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Difference using WorkflowQueuingService and ExternalDataExchangeService

  Hi Im playing with WWF and wondering what the difference is between using WorkflowQueuingService and using ExternalDataExchangeService I have read alot about why we need all these layers when dealing with workflow data exchange (support for pasivation eg). Ok. i thought that ExternalDataExchangeService solved that problem. No I just downloaded chapter 3 of Dharmas book (Essential Worfklow) wich states: " Although various communication technologies (such as WCF or ASMX) can be layered upon WF, they all must use the WorkflowQueuingService to robustly deliver data to passivated WF program instances " Where does that leave ExternalDataExchangeService regarding pasivation And what is the techinal/implemention wise diffrenc ...Show All

  Hi there, I have my connect to my database alright and sucessfully filtered it.

• SQL Server Formatting Font issues with Deployed Reports

  I'm sure this has been asked, but I am still without resolution on this topic. When I go to print a deployed report (deployed to the Report Server environment for user consumption) from the Report Manager, I see the font chosen in the design environment displayed when viewing the report in the Report Viewer. However, if I attempt to Print (using the Report Viewer Printer icon) or export it to PDF, it loses all the font and seems to default to Arial. If I print this report from the design environment, it prints with the correct font. The font I am trying to use is Gill Sans MT. It cannot be dropping the font altogher, as I can export it to Excel and see the correct font there. My understanding of this issue, based on various posts ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to change back from IE7 RC1 to IE6?

  I installed IE7 RC1 and basically I couldn't access any webpage. I used the connection diagnostic tool and it says many of my connections failed. However, other browsers work fine for me like this one. With this IE error I couldn't even use many of the download managers like the one for installing IE6 (it says connection failed or so). I'm very troubled and hope to reverse back to IE6. But when I uninstall IE7 RC1 from control panel, even though it seems that it was uninstalled, my IE7 still remains there. I tried many ways, even like trying to install a standalone IE and downloaded Microsoft's IE6SP2 registry, but still has the same problem. Is there any way I could revert back to like when I freshly installed Windows Thanks a lot. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Print Preview is working but actually print (to a printer) is not

  Good morning! I hope there is someone out there who can help me. I am trying to generate a simple report in VB 2005. I obtained some code from a reference book that instructed on printing within VB. The good news is that the report looks great, and I can preview it without any problem. HOWEVER...once I send it to the printer, only the headings are printing. I have even tried printing it to a PDF but the same thing happens. I have changed fonts, as well. Here is the code: Public Class frmPrint ' The following variables must be accessed from within ' multiple subroutines, as well as maintain their values ' between multiple invocations of the PrintPage event handler Dim tableFont, TitleFont As Font Di ...Show All

• Windows Forms xxx not a valid Win32 application

  I have published my clickonce app to a file server and have installed it on a couple of machines and everything seems fine. But today, one my users got the above error when installing the application. I am guessing there is some component that is missing on her machine and thats why she gets the above error, but I am not sure which one. She has .NET framework 2.0 and is running Windows XP and should be fairly current on the OS updates. Appreciate all the help.... It works that way because that's what the App Paths registry entries are for. For example you can run notepad.exe without typing the full path because there's an App Paths entry. I've seen this before, so I just suspect that there is a common setu ...Show All
