• Visual Studio Clearcase diff merge bug with .sln file

  Hi all, This is a very peculiar problem and very similar to a thread presented in the forums by Rajeshsv , but the thread no longer exists. I am quoting from his message because it is exactly the same: i need to open up my .sln file to update the project references which are to be resolved during some merge operation using clear case. when i resolve the conflict occured during the merge operation and save the file and come back the file icon changes and it no longer opens up in the IDE. i.e it indicated my sloution file is corrupted. -- In other words, the ClearCase Merge Diff Tool (v. 7.0.0.0) is not working properly on the .sln file. In my case, it cuts it down by approx. 75%, no matter what kind of merges I make t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Complex user control not responding to click events

  Hi all, I'm wondering whether any of you people can help me out with this problem that I have with a user control that I have been trying to get working. The first part of the user control is a flat circular button ( called SampleButton) that toggles colour when clicked. This control has an OnClick method as follows protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e) { base.OnClick(e); (code to change colour and call invalidate....) } Then, from this I am creating a matrix of these buttons in another user control that inherits from SampleButton (which in turn inherits from UserControl), e.g. a 3 x 3 matrix, like so: O O O O O O O O O I do this using a couple of for loops (the number of Sampl ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2005 IDE Crash!

  Hi folks! I have an "interesting" problem with the IDE of VS2005 which crashes with no warning or error messages! Below I send info from my PC. The crash happens very often (every 15min) but I have not seen a pattern yet that causes the crash. It happens when I do simple things like clicking at the IDE's menus. I run WinXP SP2 and develop asp.net solutions in C#. I heard that there is a SP for VS2005 but it is still in beta phase and I am a bit reluctunt to install it. I know all of the info below is overwhelming... if you have time please let me know what I can we do to solve this crash. Thanks in advance! George I.

• SQL Server Different behavior between VS and IE in rendering reports with fixed headers and a document map

  I apologize in advance if this is something already addressed elsewhere (if so - please point me in that direction). I have created a really simple report that allows 'drill-down' at the group level. To this report I also selected the 'Repeat header rows on each page' and 'Header should remain visible while scrolling' features and all worked as expected after deploying. I then added a Document Map referencing the group level and that too worked within the VS environment. VS displayed a page that contained the requested group in plain view and I could 'drill down' as expected. But when I deployed the report and subsequently pulled it up in IE I noticed a slightly different behavior in that when selecting an entry from the document ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS - OLE DB - IBM DB2 - SQLDUMP - more dumps than works....

  I have a package which access a DB2 database and pulls data from a single table. I can't put a specific event on it, but the package has been causing a dump to occur on a rather regular basis. The really odd part is sometime when I add a data viewer on the output link of the OLE DB Source it works....then it starts to dump again a couple of executions later. There are not date/time values involved in the result set, just character strings. Default code page is set to 1252 and use default page is set to False....any ideas appreciated - this is really starting to drive me nuts! Thanks While doing some other searching around, I ran across an article talking about setting the code page to 88591 instead of t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. X file format

  Can anyone point me to reference on the X file format. I can't seem to locate it in the Direct X SDK (August), and the information I am finding online is woefully out of date and/or incomplete. Also, I understand the content pipeline will not be available in the initial beta of XNA Game Studio Express, can anyone tell me if there are major changes to the X file format I should be aware of I'm writing some tools so I can use Houdini with XNA and I'd like to get as much information about the X file format as possible so I can deternine whether I can use it or should invest the time in a file format of my own. Sadly no. What Houdini can import and export is really limited to formats you'd find in film like r ...Show All
