• Visual Basic Exe takes more than 35 sec. to load

  Hi freinds, I am using vb.net 2005. The problem is when i install the project on the clients PC it take more that 30-40 sec to load. Why does it takes so much time as compared to vb 6 applications. Is there any other way to improve the performance Please Help me out. Thanks Puneet Minda Puneet I think what ReneeC is saying is that a 35sec load time is not typical. It is likely something specific that you are doing in your application. To get the help you need, you might want to describe your application a little better. After such time, one of these brilliant folks (like Renee) might be able to help you. ...Show All

• Visual C# Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'

  private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType== ListItemType.EditItem || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.SelectedItem) { CheckBox cbBI=e.Item.FindControl( "Price" ); cbBI.Checked=e.Item.Cells[18].Text.ToString(); } } you need to change this to lines CheckBox cbBI=e.Item.FindControl( "Price" ); cbBI.Checked=e.Item.Cells[18].Text.ToString(); to CheckBox cbBI=( CheckBox )e.Item.FindControl( "Price" ); //this cause error because checked property is bool type and ToString() return string //the oth ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Struggling with svcutil

  hi I have several services in my solution. There is multiple data classes that get shared across these services. When I try to use svcutil against several of my services at the same time, the proxy that's spit out, in addition to many parsing errors, does not handle the namespaces well, and there just seems to be an abundance of problems getting the different service proxies to play nice. I tried using the namespace switch, but it didn't like the following: svcutil [service1] [service2] /out: myproxy.cs /namespace: Value.Value.Val The svcutil chokes on the namespace. I've resorted to using WSDL to build the proxies, and that seems to work fine. But the problem there is that the /sharetypes switch doesn't seem to work wit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question about importing

  I am testing out TFS right now, and trying to get our Process Template set up. I am wondering if you can change your Work Items once you have imported in your Process Template.<br><br>i.e. I finish editing our Process Template and import it into our TFS and create a new project. Now, 6 months later someone wants me to add a new field to a WI or a new WI completely. Is it possible to just export our Process Template, edit it and re import it, and continue on (will our project update all the fields, WI's etc. ) or do we have to start out from scratch again with a new project What are the keys to doing this a seamlessly as possible Thanks for any help. Most people do the import export by using a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Deplyoment of the same XBAP from different origins to a single client

  Hi, I am sorry for cross-posting: I accedently posted this in the winforms group. If I download the same XBAP from different servers, will they be installed side by side with the other one Or will it be clear to the deployment mechanism that this assembly is already present and that another download is not required. The usecase I have is the following: I want to create a server management UI, that is used by service engineers. They will log on to many different servers and don't want to install the same browser application multiple times.

• Visual C# Searching Text or Unicode strings

  I would like to be able to take 1 file with entries, like: COMPARE FILE: _________________ siteone.com sitetwo.com sitethree.com _________________ And search a file for matches... But it seems like if I loop through each entry (siteone.com, sitetwo.com, etc.) it will take forever. How can I search contents of files to compare to see if there is a string of text in the file It needs to be quick because it will be searching tons of files... I could check with each loop, but then if there are 2000 entries in the compare file, and it takes 2 seconds for each compare, then that would be like 30 minutes per file... I am just throwing numbers out there, so I am sure it is a little quicker than that, but if I am doing 100 files a minute, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) Unavailable in Visual Studio 2005

  My computer had been running great for the past two years until now. I had VS2005 installed, with BIDS and VS For Database Professionals CTP6. I was trying to install Database Professionals CTP7 and it asked me to remove CTP6. I removed CTP6, and again tried to install CTP7. It said that I needed Visual Studio Team System installed (but I already had it installed!) After that, everything started taking a *** and I couldn't open anything anymore - it seemed all my project types were screwed. I started uninstalling everything, all of Visual Studio, the .Net framework 2.0, and SQL 2005 because nothing was working anymore. After reinstalling .Net Framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005, I don't see the Business Intelli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Get Full Path for Project Item...

  I am trying to write a reference that specifies (among other things) that an item can only be added to either a very particular folder (i got this part by checking the ProjectItem.Name property) OR any folder contained within it. Im having a hard time getting this second part to work. I tried using the Path.GetFullPath() on the ProjectItem to be able to analyze the string returned to see if I am nested inside my particular folder, but this doesnt seem to work as the Path.GetFullPath() call returns back a path to the debug folder.... probably a simple enough question, but Im sick of fighting with it so please help! thanks in advance.

• .NET Development -Using Sproc to insert rows in the DB and the Sproc returns identity columns to my dataset

  If we use sqdataadapter to insert data from a datatable into a table in the database using an SPROC. The Sproc also returns the identity column values that are created by the database. If those identity columns are called “IDcolumn” in the physical DB but in my dataset I call them “MyIdentity”. So IDcolumn is an output of my SProc I use : Pm.Direction= ParameterDirection.Output Then I use pm.SourceColumn property : Should I use IDcolumn” or “MyIdentity” Like this: Pm.sourcecolumn=”IDcolumn” or like this: Pm.sourcecolumn=” MyIdentity” Thank you 1- Bill, in that article you reffered to, they wrote: If Direction is set to Output , the value is taken from the data source. so isn t all tha ...Show All

• .NET Development WebBrowser Component. Navigating 50,000+ URLs

  Hello, I have posted this in the "XML" forum too, however people suggested that it might be posted here as well: I have been using HTTrack combined with ASP.NET and SQL Server to archive web sites for Washington State. HTTrack fails to get all of the references from a web page, many of which can be found by using the DOM interface. With that said, I am working on a C# application that will crawl a list of URLs (about 55,000) and extract any references to web documents missed by HTTrack. My C# application uses the Web Browser class (have tried the axWebBrowser class as well) and the IHTMLDocument2 interface. If I use my application and crawl about 5,000 URLs it works like a champ. However, once I pass the 5,000 mark I r ...Show All
