• Visual Studio Team System More datadude and WIX

  In a post here: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=862288&SiteID=1  I talked about how I am using the .sql output file from datadude within a WIX installer.   I have a small problem in doing this. In WIX the action to install a database does the following 2 things: Creates the database Runs a .sql file to create objects in that database. This is where I am plugging in datadude's .sql file Problem is, my .sql file tries to create the database as well (optionally dropping it if it already exists). So I have the following going on: WIX creates the database The .sql file drops the newly created database The .sql file recreates the database Not ideal I'm sure you'll agree. We ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Great WPF Whitepaper - ImageMontage doesn't work though

  So in my search for content to help learn WPF, I came across this technical whitepaper and video from Mix06 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480174.aspx However, the ImageMontage example doesn't seem to work with my Dev system (Sept CTP) - and I don't know the internals of WPF well enough to get it to work. Anyone care to figure out how to get this to work with the latest WPF SDK and Framework I don't get any errors or exceptions when I run it, but all I get is a blank (white) App window. Doh! There's a bug in the code. I'll reupload the sample ASAP; in the meantime, here's the fix: Change line 29 of ImageMontageCanvas.cs to: newImage.Source = new BitmapImage ( new U ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Databinding to Datagrid

  I have a group of items in a datatable (approx. 11,000). I'm trying to bind this datatable to a datagrid in my mobile app (using sql mobile 2005, vs.net 2005) but i keep getting the "storage memory is critically low error". I'm deploying to an emulator. What's the trick to loading large datasets in mobile applications. Do I need to adjust the projects settings somehow. I just don't get it. The trick it not to load large DataSets into memory as it would run out. Remember your application is limited to 32MB virtual memory (vs. 2 GB on desktop) and it’s not all free from the start. Consider using SqlCeResultSet instead - it would only load visible rows, all 10 or so of them. In this case, however, you’re running ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deployment succeeeds but no changes reflected

  Hi, I am facing a strange problem. I am not able to deploy projects to database. I have picked up 1 object(a table) from my Northwind database(in SQL Enterprise Edition) into my db project, added a column to that, built it. Thereafter I have properly set all the property settings for deploying the project onto the same database, entered the connection string and all, right clicked the project and deployed. Deployment succeeds. I go and check in Server management studio for the new column. Nothing has got added. I opened the update scripts generated and executed them in the server. It gave some errors. Resolved them. Again executed the scripts. Executed successfully. But still my new column did not get created!!! I am very ...Show All

• Visual Studio Substituting menu items in the default VS2005 Query Designer with a Package Add-On

  Is it possible to disable menu items in Visual Studio 2005 Query Designer, and substitute our own menu item (keeping support for other existing menu items) I have created a packaged add-on, and I am interested in using the default supplied Query Designer, but disabling one option (Verify SQL Syntax) due to our database support contains optionally supported SQL. I would prefer to substitute our own SQL verification application. I have created a custom handler, which is activated from the DataViewSupport xml file, which defines the Server Explorer views supported by our database (Teradata). The DataViewSupport supplies a CommandBinding which links the Query Designer to either a custom handler or a default handler. The entry -> &l ...Show All
