• Visual Studio Team System Cannot databind a csv file

  I am trying to databind a csv file to a webtest. I am entering the connection properties as "Microsfot Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider" and advanced extended properties as "Text" and entering the path of the folder in which the .csv file is located. I am not including the name of the .csv file in the path. No tables show up after the data binding is done, a blank "Choose tables from datasource" box appears. This happens no matter how many times i try. The same functionality works on a different system. Any ideas are appreciated....Thanks! I tried doing that option too, creating a new folder with just the .csv file in it, tried at different places, like on a share and also on the lo ...Show All

• Commerce Server Commerce Server 2007 Shipping Options

  Hello, I am trying to figure out how to get shipping rates including the price and MaxLimit (the data from ShippingRates table). I can get the shipping method data by using the ShippingMethodHelper.GetShippingMethod() method, but I can not figure out to get the child data from ShippingRates table. Please help. Thank you, Dmitry Hi Dmitry, You cannot get the ShippingRates from the runtime side - this information is pulled from the DB when the pipelines are run. Instead you can use the Management APIs to get this info for e.g. the ShippingMethods property for all the active ShippingMethods in the system: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/sdkmref/html/P_Microsoft_CommerceServer_Orders_ ...Show All

  What do I need to download so I can connect to my 360 for XNA Do I need to download windows media connect If you are using a wireless adapter to connect either your Xbox 360 or your PC, I suggest trying a wired ethernet connection instead. Please read this thread for more details ( click ). Gunston eventually got something to work for him, but never got it going over wireless. Coincidentally, someone on my team ran into similar trouble today with a network adapter that seemed to be malfunctioning (wired connection). It could locate the Xbox 360 and receive UDP responses, but could not establish a TCP connection. After switching to another adapter (he had three on that machine), it worked fine. Al ...Show All

• Visual Basic Conversion from .Net 2003 to .Net 2005 using VB.Net

  We've just received .Net 2005 upgrade and are in the process of converting two projects. Both Projects have User Controls and we are having some issues with them. 1st, one of the user controls has 2 classes in it and the conversion moved the declarations from the class into another file, but not the code.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Double or Single - What's the difference?

• Visual Studio User Feedback: things to improve with the help system

  How can I configure the help system to always choose C#/VB as the only language in the language filter Also, I think that your help system sometimes lacks examples.

• Windows Forms How to determine if Visual Styles are enabled?

  I hope someone can help me figure this out - There are some controls whose behavior changes significantly depending on whether or not XP Visual Styles are enabled, for example the progress bar. One other very important aspect of .NET controls that changes when Visual Styles are enabled is double buffering behavior. The DoubleBuffer flag for controls does not work when Visual Styles are disabled. I have a custom double buffering scheme I would like to use when this is the case, but I can't for the life of me figure out whether or not Visual Styles are enabled. When I write out the value of Application.VisualStyleState, it is always ClientAndNonClientAreasEnabled - even when I change my desktop theme to Windows Class, or comment out the Appl ...Show All
