• SQL Server SQL Express Install fails Error 29503 / 1067

  I have read carefully numerous previous posts on similar errors. So far I've ruled out: 1. I have an Athlon processor with cache prefetching XP 1700+ 2. I have tried installing with advanced options and selecting local sytem and local service. None of these solutions solved my problem. I still get the same install error and it's quite maddening, since the install program verifies that all of my hardware and software meet the install conditions. I am running XP home, so I'm in a workgroup, not a domain.. I attach the log for the install below. Any more suggestions Thanks, gtc.

• Visual Studio Team System Source Control Explorer InvalidArgument Error on Vista Client

  We are using TFS Workgroup Edition with SP1 installed with a Visual Studio Team Suite with SP1 client running under Vista Ultimate RTM. We are getting a Source Control Explorer error when starting Visual Studio on the client. Source Control Explorer InvalidArgument=Value of '-1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index After the client has started and we open a source control tree we get this error: Error Object reference not set to instance of an object. I thought this bug was fixed in TFS SP1. Any help is greatly appreciated.

• Visual C# Beginner questions about Serial.IO.Ports and multiple forms

  Hello everybody, I'm currently learning C# using Visual Studio 2005 and still have a hard time to get the big picture in this (new to me) object oriented world. I hope you don't mind answering me some questions that might be pretty basic in your point of view. I managed to write an application that reads commands (text strings) of a serial port and does certain things. I'm now in the need to make this serial port reader a background task that is always running, regardless which form is currenlty visible. I would also like to move the serial reader into a seperate class to keep the code a little cleaner. I read about the background worker task but I'm still confused whether or not this is the way to go or if there is an easier and ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying a Protected executable

  Hi, I would like to use windows installer to deploy a protected .exe that uses a USB dongle. I run the protection software to create the protected .exe. I then copy the protected .exe into my Release directory, when I build the installer it will write over my protected version with the non-protected. I need the detected dependancies for this app to work right. So what I do is remove the project output from the installer and add the protected .exe. My installer than works fine, protected version is deployed. Question is, is this the correct way to do this Does anyone have a better way to deploy a protected .exe using windows installer Thanks Jeff Your protection software... is th ...Show All

• .NET Development System crash in EEHeapAllocInProcessHeap() inside XPathExpression.Compile()

  We are developing .NET components that are used through COM from a COM client written in VisualAge Smalltalk V7.0. We experience a system crash (access violation; error code C0000005) when the Smalltalk client calls a .NET method that internally calls the .NET method XPathExpression.Compile(string xpath, System.Xml.IxmlNamespaceResolver resolver) (e.g. through calls to the .NET methods XmlDocument.SelectSingleNode(string xPath) or XmlDocument.SelectNodes(string xPath) ). Further investigation with WinDBG and the "Son of Strike" debug extension showed, that the access violation exception is preceeded by many “Undefined exceptions C0000090” (EXCEPTION_FLT_INVALID_OPERATION ). The first of these C000090 exceptions happens in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is the '?' in this code a typo: public virtual long? SiteId { get; set; }

  Does the question mark in ‘long ’ mean something I'm using a third party library. The VisualStudio 2005 C# compiler is complaining about this conversion. Argument '3': cannot convert from 'long ' to 'long' (NOTE: if I do an explicit cast to long my code builds); VisualStudio displayed the class definition Metadata, I’ve extracted these two lines. public class ControllerEntity : EntityBase2, ISerializable public virtual long SiteId { get; set; } I could not find anything in the Visual Studio documentation to indicate that the symbol ' ' means anything but then I recently found that '^' has a special meaning to the garbage collector. So I thought I'd ask. Here is my code snipit: ControllerEntity TestController = ...Show All

• .NET Development The AppSettingsReader and app.Config file

  I'm trying to set up a simple SQL database connection with hostname, user, login, and password information located in the app.Config file. I added an app.config file through Add -> New Item -> Utility -> Configuration file. I'm using VS2005, a managed C++ Windows XP Service Template. I declare my AppSettingsReader: AppSettingsReader^ reader = gcnew AppSettingsReader(); The problem I'm currently having is that when my code gets to: m_DatabaseConnection.m_strHostName = (String^)reader->GetValue( "Hostname" , m_DatabaseConnection.m_strHostName->GetType() ); It says it can't find the Hostname. I get the same error if there is no app.config file, so I'm thinking that it can't find it. Is there a dir ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting machine name of remote machine

  Hej (Swedish) Does anyone know of a way of finding the machine name of a remote machine on the same subnet, given an IP and/or a DNS name I need to build a list of all the available machines on a network (single subnet). I can ping the subnet, and ask for a dns-name using IPHostEntry host = Dns.GetHostEntry(IP); but I need to get to the acutal machine (NetBIOS ) name instead of just the registered DNS names... I am no ace at network programming so mayby I am missing something very simple here Is there anything in the System.Net namespace that will allow you to query a remote machine directly (for the name that is) (I know there are certain security issues involved in using machine names and also a certain degree of trust/mistrust between ...Show All
