I've created some MbUnit Test Fixtures that have SetUp methods marked with the SetUp attribute. These methods run before the tests just fine using the MbUnit GUI, the console runner, and the ReSharper MbUnit plugin. However, when I run the tests with TestDriven.NET it does not run the SetUp methods at all. Does anyone know if this i...
I am trying to get the DB2 data provider from a 32-bit .Net application to connect to DB2 running as a 32-bit application on Vista 64 (is that confusing enough yet)? Unfortunately, I am getting the following error: SQL1159 Initialization error with DB2 .NET Data Provider, reason code 7, tokens 9.5.0.DEF.2, SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\Installed...
I installed HgTortoise (Mercurial) in my Vista 64-bit and the context menu is not showing up when I right click a file or folder. Is there any workaround for this problem? ...
I'm running Server 2008 64bit with Hyper-V. I've created a virtual machine with Vista 64bit and installed it. I can't get the Vista virtual machine to see the network adapter. I've set-up an external network on the Virtual Network Manager (Hyper-V) and associated that with the virtual machine (Vista). I've also tried using a Legacy Netw...
There are a ton of drivers & famous applications that are not available in 64-bit. Adobe for instance does not provider a 64-bit Flash player plugin for Internet Explorer. And because of that, even though I am running 64-bit Vista, I have to run 32-bit IE. Microsoft Office, Visual Studio also don't ship in 64-bit AFAIK. Now personally, ...
I've got a Dell XPS M1330 with a 2.2ghz processor, 4gig ram, GeForce 8400M, and a 64GB SSD disk. I'm primarily doing web-development, sharepoint development, integration (Microsoft BI tools) and biztalk. I use virtual machines for these purposes. I've been using Vista 32Bit up until now but I'm considering moving to 64bit to squeeze tha...
I just migrated to Windows Ultimate 64 SP1, because my system's hard drive crashed. I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and all the patches that Microsoft has recommended. I finally got my source code from my SCM, but now debugging does not stop on any of my breakpoints I have set. This is just a plain Winforms app, nothing fancy. The fi...
I am looking at connecting to a openSuse 11.1 Beta 3 virtual machine from my Vista 64-bit development workstation. I found UltraVNC Viewer to be the only option for this purpose. Is there any other clients that I can use to connect from Vista to openSuse/other Linux installs? Note: Bandwidth is not a worry, the connection will be using...
Hi, Is it possible to run the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows Vista 64-bit system? Are there any known caveats that I would need to be aware of? Would have to install the x64 version of the .NET Framework? Would there be any issues on building software targeted for x86? Would there be any (justifiable) ...
I'm having an issue dragging a file from Windows Explorer on to a Windows Forms application. It works fine when I drag text, but for some reason it is not recognizing the file. Here is my test code: namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { Initialize...
I am updating my rig and I need to make a decision between staying with XP x64 or going to Vista x64. I do very little development, really just building products from my developers. The other 90% of my work is done with Google Apps, Skype, Office, etc... I want to upgrade to Vista not only because I will have 3x monitors running on Dire...
We've got an app with some legacy printer "setup" code that we are still using PrintDlg for. We use a custom template to allow the user to select witch printer to use for various types of printing tasks (such as reports or drawings) along with orientation and paper size/source. It works on XP and 32-bit Vista, but on Vista x64 it gets a...
Are you using a MacBook Pro with Windows Vista to write computer programs? I've heard the trackpad is atrocious in Windows. Is this true? What has your overall experience been? How are the drivers for Vista64? I'm interested in running Vista on the bare metal, but if you have experience with VMWare or Parallels I'd like to hear that...
I would think maybe it might make MORE sense to put 64bit apps into "Program Files (x64)" and leave 32bit apps to run in "Program Files" .. maybe I'm too dumb to get it... EDIT: I have a batch file that need to run FLEX compiler. in X64 that program is in "Program Files (x86)" on Vista 32 bit it's in "Program Files" .. environment varia...
I am working in Vista 64 bit system. I have a 3rdPartyUsbDriver.sys and 3rdPartyUsbDriver.inf files. I have made the neccesary changes to the vendor & product IDs in the inf file, to work with my custom hardware. This installs and works in 'Unsigned Driver Test mode' just fine. I now want to install this driver in 'Normal mode'. I do ...
Our database server is a SQL 2008 server. My colleagues all have XP service 2 installed with Sql 2008 Management studio and they have absolutely no performance issues. I however am running Vista x64 (Ultimate) and when I open the 2008 Management studio it's impossibly slow. It takes almost 25 seconds to just connect to the database, so...
I recently got a Dell XPS 64-bit Vista for myself. Eclipse doesn't have their 64-bit version, but I've read on forums that they download Eclipse and work with Java 1.5 on the Vista with only some problems. I have Java 1.6 and Netbeans was easily downloadable. What's the basic/big difference that I'll notice if I shift to Netbeans from E...
I have a legacy VB6 program which installs an Access file in a sub-directory of the common data folder (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA). I have now installed this program on a 64-bit Vista system, and the program works fine and accesses the file at C:\ProgramData\Wow\WowCat.mdb, but this file does not show in Windows Explorer. I want to overwrite...
Despite enabling WSE 3.0 on client projects in Visual Studio 2005, web references I make always end up with service proxies derived from SoapHttpClientProtocol. I have to manually change the inheritance to WebServicesClientProtocol, but updating it will revert back to SoapHttpClientProtocol. I am unsure where in Visual Studio project pro...
Running VBA under XP I was able to call ActivateKeyboardLayout to switch my input language from English to another language. However, this no longer works under Vista64. Any suggestions or workarounds? The code that used to work under XP was similar to the following: Private Declare Function ActivateKeyboardLayout Lib "user32" ( _ ...
