• Visual Basic Mutiple solutions with both project and file references to the same assembly causing compiler errors

  We have a very large application consisting of more than 20 VB projects developed in VS.NET 2003. The current application is using project references for everything in one large solution. However this is getting unwieldy as opening the solution uses up most of the system resources. Once you debug and step into code the problem becomes even worse and is practically unusable. This application is going to become larger with time and we would like to move to a multiple solution model to help alleviate this problem but are running into assembly reference issues. The problem occurs when trying to reference an assembly by both project and file in the same solution. We have a small solution that builds a shared library let's call CommonLibrary1 ...Show All

• SQL Server Need Help on this SQL Statement

  Hi All, sqlLstProds="Select * From PRODUCT_DEF "&_ "WHERE productID IN(Select productID From PRODUCT_DEF WHERE (IDProductCriteria = 5) AND ([Value] = '"&getSession("ModelID")&"')) "&_ " Order By IDProduct, IDProductCriteria" I have the above SQL Code in an ASP page.

• Visual Studio Team System How to prevent specific group to create specific work items

  Hello How can I deny some users to create specific work items For example: I want to allow Developers group to create Work Items Bugs but I do not want them to create Tasks. Where can I limit this Thank you. You can edit the specific workitem type and add "for" and "not" rules in Transistion from "" to "Active" (or initial state). This would prevent specified users from creating the workitems. Note that they will not be prevented from opening new workitem form, but they'll get error during save - so those users need to be notified of this limitation to avoid frustration during save. You can find the transistions element in wit-xml an ...Show All

• Windows Forms getting media files from a winform

• SQL Server Select Data based on Certain Time period

  Hello all, I am using SQL Server in a project where I want to fetch the records that were inserted after a time specified in my query. Suppose 10 records were inserted at 10:00 AM(morning) and 5 were inserted at 10:15 AM( 15 minutes later). I am running a query at 10:20 AM( 5 minutes after the second transaction). I need this query to be such that it selects the records inserted 10 minutes before. So it will show only the records inserted at and after 10:10 AM and willl not show those inserted at 10:00 AM. Please help me in making such a query. I am trying and I think that some Date & Time functions will help but still not able to achieve it.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with absolute positioning controls on Masterpages?

  OK -- I'm a newbie to VWB EE so please forgive if this is a known prob, but I've been just getting into creating web forms and using masterpages and already come across a problem. When I layout my form in design mode and position my controls absolutely they look absolutely fine. :P But when I display them in the browser in "run time" they are shifted over to the left. I think this is because my master page has a left-hand nav area (via a table) and the absolute positioning somehow doesn't take that into consideration. It is really more of an "absolute within the contentholder" as opposed to an "absolute within the page". What am I doing wrong Should I be looking at this differently when using masterpages ...Show All

• Visual C# converting String to int

  I'am trying to build a console application that reads an input from the user and converts all numbers in the string to integers.

So I can't use that number because ofcorce I want to be using 9 for my program and not 57. is there anyway to do this so I get the right number when converting from String to Int ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows Service Unexpectedly Terminates

  I have a Windows Service that uses asynchronous socket io to listen for requests from VB6 clients, it was originally written in VB.NET 1.1. When I upgraded to .NET 2.0 it kept terminating unexpectedly and I tracked this down to the breaking changes introduced in .NET 2.0 regarding unhandled exceptions on threadpool threads. I now have improved exception handling on threadpool threads and an event handler on AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException just to log anything that does get through but my service still unexpectedly terminates sometimes without calling this event handler. The only thing in the event log is an entry by the .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting which I've included below. I'm guessing from this info that it's a socket err ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Missing shortcuts

  I used shortcut @clear to clear out only my own desktop search shortcuts. Unfortunately it also seemed to have cleared the standard deskbar shortcuts like help, syntax, !word, !calc and !outlook.

• Smart Device Development WCELOAD & NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab

  I am trying install NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab using WCELOAD with "/SILENT" via CreateProcess. I am unable to WaitForSingleObject or GetExitCodeProcess as this cab remains ' STILL_ACTIVE' indefinately. I have done this many times for other Cab installs, without any issues. The only difference i am aware of with NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab is that you receive a message 'You must restart the device to complete installation' , if you run this manually. I want to avoid using a 'poke &hope' timer on the GetExitCodeProcess.
