• Visual Studio Team System missing dll when testing

  I am trialing the team system suite, and have a problem. When attempting to test the software the application gets copied to a test run folder and run from there, but it fails to copy one of the dlls and so the application throws exceptions. The project builds correctly and can be run normally, I just cannot test it. Any ideas what the problem might be I have long since resolved this. It was due to the fact that I was late binding to some dlls in the project, which weren't referenced by the main project. So, everything built to the correct folder and worked OK, but when testing only the assembly files were copied to the test folder and so some dlls were missing from the test application folder. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serial Port Communication

  Hallo, I wrote a little prog, which sends a message and the messages md5 over the serial port: I'm using Visual Studio 2005.NET, PocketPc-Emulator and a virtual serialport-driver. This way I connected the emulator to COM2 and COM2 to COM15. So I can send and receive Data via the emulator on COM2 and via Win32-Application on COM15. For testing I write all incoming Data on the emulator to the serial output. Private Function com_sendString(ByVal toSend As String) As Boolean Dim hash As String hash = "##HASH:" & md5(toSend) & "##" Try If (serialPort.IsOpen = True) Then serialPort.WriteLine(toSend & hash) Else MsgBox("Port is closed!!")

• Visual Studio looping through report items of a rendered report

  Hi all, Situation: I have a WinForm application that uses the SQL 2005 reportviewer component. That reportviewer uses a local report.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problems with VSTO2005 on Vista

  hi, I just installed VSTO2005 (English version out of the box) + SE (download) on Windows Vista Business (german version). Now I have the following problems: 1) The language of the menu-items in the VSTO-IDE is mixed (english/german). For example I get a "File/Open" menu-item (in English) and a "File/Schliesen" menu-item ("Schliesen" is the german word for "Close"). 2) The local help (although successfully installed) cannot be accessed in the VS-IDE (is always empty). I have seen on Microsoft websites, that there exists a VS2005 SP1 and a VS2005 SP1 Update for Vista (Beta). BUT as VSTO2005 is NOT listed as a valid VS-version for VS2005 SP1, I cannot install it. And therefore I cannot install th ...Show All
