• Visual Studio VS 2005 Performance issues

  I have a server running Dual 1.8GHz processors, 4GB RAM and two 146GB 10K drives (RAID 1) and I am getting terrible performance using VS. I am trying to figure out if it is an I/O issue, RAM, RAID, or VS issue. I read a thread that suggested I defragment the drives since I didn't do that after the VS installation. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. We are running two VHD's on the server. All running Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise and VS is 2005 R2 Enterprise. Thanks, JB there is a hotfix available...have you applied this http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=606971&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• SQL Server Porting Access Database

  I am still pursuing my studies. I have been recently assigned a project for building Database Application for my college's library. And there was no better option to implement it with VB.NET 2.0 & SQL Server 2005. VB.NET 2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 are the resources at my disposal. The problem is that the college already has a Library Management System in place, built in VB6.0 with Access. I have been asked to pepare the application from scratch. But the database obviously cannot be left out. Now, can anyone suggest me an efficient way to port the Access database to SQL Server express. Also, the databse has been desinged poorly & is not properly normalized. Can I port it to SQL Server Express with some slight modifications t ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development xpath

  1) Where this xpath variable set by document.setXPathVariable() API will actually store Is it will reside in DOM Tree or in XPath processor 2) Whether Additional XPath functions (spec 7.5.2.4.2) like ns:name(), class(), GPRM(), SPRM() will work only in document (from markup) or for any other user document(from parse() or parseString()) Is this a question for how to write a player It doesn't matter where you store the XPath variables, as long as they are accessible both via script and markup. I am pretty sure the additional features only work for the markup document, not random XML documents. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Replacing XLA with COM Automation Add-In

  Hello all, We've got a bit of a problem here that we hope you can help us with. We've just developed a COM automation add-in in Visual Studio 2005 (C#) to replace an XLA add in. To ease the conversion, we named most of the functions exported by the COM library to the same name as those in the XLA file. However, our problem is that on removing the XLA file and adding in the COM automation add-in to a workbook, the excel spreadsheets cannot reference the new method calls which have the same name as the old calls in the XLA. If we create a new worksheet and add in the automation item, then the calls work fine. For example, the UDF call CBSpot existed in the XLA. When we remove the XLA and add in the automation DLL CBSpot can't be resolve ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting table structures to another database

  We have databases with large numbers of tables. We have a separate database for each year. For various reasons, we need to export about 100 of the tables (Structure only, not their data) from last years database into this year's database.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook addin setup, runtime error after install

  Hi, After building the setup program for my addin I copied it to a random machine with the standard .NET 2.0 package installed. Setup was OK but the plugin does'nt load! Outlook says my add-in encounterd a runtime error. I did some searching on this forum and found out this is due to a CAS problem. In one topic there was a code workaround, but I did'nt really understoot how to get it working (also lost the URL). And I also found out I could fix the problem if I used .NET 2.0 configuration manager to add my plugin dlls to the assembly cache. But the manager application is only included in .NET 2.0 SDK and I'm not going to install the SDK on all the client machines! Let allone configure every machine by hand.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registering DLL

  I am upgrading a VB6.0 program to .Net with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. The program runs on the computer I use for debugging etc. but when I try to move it to another computer it looks like the MSGrid DLL is not being registered on the new computer. I have been using Publish to create a setup.exe. Any suggestions Thanks The publishing capability included with VB Express (ClickOnce) does not have the ability to register activeX controls, in this case MSGrid. You will have to one of the following: Replace it with the much more capable built in .NET Framework controls (e.g. DataGridView) Have the installler of the published application register the control manually create your ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Items not deleted from warehouse when project deleted by TFSDeleteProject

  Deleted a project with TFSDeleteProject and later created it again with the same name. Work Items from the original incarnation of the project continued to show up in reports for the new incarnation of the project. Eventually found that work items created for the original incarnation of the project were deleted from the TfsWorkItemTracking database but not from the TFSWarehouse database. Found a fix in the Warehouse Troubleshooting Guide . This was an issue relating to project name collision in [TFSWarehouse].[dbo].[Team Project]. Per Jimmy Li, "When there's a project name collision, the reports will not be able to find the proper project by name." ...Show All
