• SQL Server BIDS:Precedance Constraints not visible

  In the SSIS Package we have, the precedance constraints between the executables become invisible. It is difficult to find out if there are already constraints between the executables in the designer window. Is this a bug What is the easiest way to get them back - Gaurav Hm, so the precedence constaint exists and appears in the package explorer tree, but not in the diagram Could you open a bug on betaplace and attach the package with this problem How did the package get into this state You may try resetting the diagram layout: Format \ Autolayout to rebuild the diagram layout, hope this helps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Line Numbering

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Tool: Unexpected Bottom of Stack

  I have been using the Performance Tool In Instrumentation "mode" on ASP.NET Website. The results are very useful, but I have a question - probably a silly/stupid one: My website uses a Presentation Layer which in turn calls a Business Layer which in turn calls a DAL (all different DLL's and different projects in the same solution as the website). Im trying to determine the time spent in each layer, in a method call that passes through all layers. However, when im examining the Caller/Callee or Call tree, the last function i get data from is the Presentation Layer. I can't see the time spent in Business and DAL layers. The list of "Functions that were called by PresentationLayerMethod" only has one entry: "Bottom ...Show All

• Visual Studio can only create one shape

  I started learning dsl tools recently. After going through the couple of examples i tried writing a designer myself. The new designer i created has two classes(will be more later) and each class pointing to different shape. it compiles, transforms and creates debug project . But in the debug VS, even though the toolbox shows all the shapes classes i can only create one class instance on to the designer. And the rest of them don't draw anything even i drag and drop them. The one that i can drop is the first one i created.. I checked parent element path, and element merge directives that was suggested in the other posts and they all seems to correct. did anyone had this problem before any suggestions on how i can make this work thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Confused About XNA and DX10

  I am confused about the differences between XNA and DX10; is that correct: 1- XNA will have both fixed function and shader programming and effects also 2- DX10 will have only shader programming with no assembly, no fixed function and no effects. 3- DX10 will be on Vista only, since it is shader programming will Shader 3.0 (DX9.0 C and L) is compatible with Vista shader 4.0, so a program written on Windows XP DX9.0 C will run on Vista DX9.0 L but will not run on Vista DX10 shader 4.0 But why it will not run on DX10 Vista runtime if the program is only shader with no effects is that because shader 4.0 will not be compatible with shader 3.0 or it will run regarding windows controls with DX: 1- can we build application ...Show All

• Windows Forms MonthCalendar, anyway to stop it from updating itself?

  Seems about every 2 minutes the control will update itself and cause it's datechanged event to fire...causing my program to do weird things since I have my own code in that event. :) I'm just using it to let a user pick a day (i'm sure they wont be using it near midnight!) I've tried disableing it, hiding it, disposing it..yet every 2 minutes the datechanged event fires. I've had to code it onto a 2nd form for now, then in the date changed event I check to see if my other form is visible, if it is I exit that event..but that seems like a lame hack. Any ideas Carl I hardly think it's "pointless". If the current control doesn't work as expected, maybe they need to create a ne ...Show All

• Visual C++ programming message switch

  Does anyone know of a tutorial/website that explains how to program the message switch into the message loop It won't let me handle some messages inside the loop. I believe you have misunderstood the concept that is message loops and delivery. Normally, you will issue a GetMessage call, which will wait for a new message to arrive. This message is sent through TranslateMessage, to translate virtual keys into characters and post them back to the queue. Finally, you call DispatchMessage, which ships the message off to the Window Procedure of the window (HWND) in question. The Window Procedure should handle the messages you want to consider, and return the values indicated by their documentation. If you ...Show All

• Visual Studio PackageLoad failure - SetSite

• Windows Forms Cannot restore from taskbar

  I've recently taken over development of a previous programmer's project. I'm in the process of debugging and have most of the issues ironed out except for this pesky little bugger. The program is an SDI app. There is one panel located on the main form. If I minimize the program with no forms loaded onto the panel then the program will "restore to normal" from the taskbar. If a form is loaded onto the panel, the app will minimize to the task bar but will not restore by clicking on the tray icon. I have to right-click and select "restore" from the pop up menu. App is written in VB.NET 2003. Thanks!! Super!! It's working now. All I had to do was add the following line "fRepo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Fuzzy text in a label control

  Hi, I've added some controls to the top of a sheet in an Excel file. The problem I'm having is that the text on, say a label, is blurry or fuzzy. It almost looks like when smoothing is being applied but actually makes it worse. I've tried various fonts and sizes and that doesn't matter. The rest of the text on the sheet looks fine. Has anyone seen this before, and hopefully knows what's happening I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Hi Dennis, It happens during design time when I put a label on the sheet. If I then run it, it still looks fuzzy when running. I haven't tried just popping a label on a sheet during run time, so I don't know if that will help. For what it's worth, I abandoned this and decided to put my controls on ...Show All
