I love this site - any question that I'm just too lazy (or not good enough) to look up and I can hope that StackOverflow will come through... Is there any way to set visual studio 2005 and 2008 to default new xml/xsl/xsd files to be utf-8 instead of utf-16? i've done some looking but i just can't find a good site to refer to.. also i'...
I have installed the 2007 PIA and repaired my Office 2007 installation. Still, when I add a reference to the Office 12 Object Library in VS2005, I only see Office.Core and cannot add an 'imports' statement for Office.Interop I have checked that Windows\assembly\gac\ has got the interop dlls. ...
I have a VS2005 project that contains a couple web service references. The project has recently been upgraded to VS2008 but now there is a problem with the web references...probably because they may not have been upgraded properly. When I select Update Web Reference I get the following error: "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: disc...
The following code generates the primaey key for the new record to be inserted and inserts the record into a table, whose name and the values to be inserted are given as parameters to the stored procedure. I am getting a runtime error. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to work with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ALTER PROCEDURE spGenericIn...
I can get the program to easily, upon startup, look for updates and then install them. I want to have a button that the user can click that will check/install updates. Is this possible, if so how? Edit: Sorry all, not ASP.NET; VB.NET only ...
This morning, when I tried to add a new ASPX page to my project, Visual Studio decided that I no longer needed any .CS files associated with it. Trying to add a web control produced same results: .ascx file with no .cs. I've got two questions so far: Considering that no changes have been made to the system over the weekend, what could ...
I have a VB.NET program that I wish to to publish. In the code it references a HTML page that I created. Instead of having the URL hard coded (example: www.test2.com/folder/index.html) I would like to have it relative to wherever the encoder is installed to (example: /folder/index.html) How can I do this? Thanks! ...
When user the "Implement Inteface X" context menu feature, the inserted code gets surrounded by a #region [interfacename] Members #endregion pair. I always end up deleting this, is there a way I can permanently turn it off? I had a quick search through the snippets directory, but wasn't sure if this was the right place. There's pp...
Does anyone know how or where I can go to quickly extract a list of all of my project files from VS 2005? I need to bring the file names into Excel/Access/SharePoint for Project Management duties (i.e. update logs, etc.), so XML or some other text/delimited text format would be ideal. I want to get the actual file names (i.e. Default1....
First some background: VB.NET 2005 Application that accesses a MS-SQL back-end, using multiple Web Services for data gathering/publishing. On to the error: Our application mysteriously crashes on one of our clients computers, it works fine on the other computers in their office, but not on the big whigs' computer, which now makes it my...
In VS2008 it is Tools,Options,Environment,Fonts and Colors, Environment Font,then change default font from automatic to a real font and larger font size. Environment Font is not a setting in VS2005. Looks like older VS versions were Dialogs and Tool Windows (which is no longer in VS2005 or VS2008). ...
I use VS2008 at home and love it, while approaching work about upgrading 2005 to 2008, one of my obvious causes for concern are all the 2005 solutions we have lying around. While it may be simple for us to upgrade to 2008, we do work with other developers that use 2005 and will not be upgrading to 2008 in the near future. I understand ...
There is this option available in Visual Studio 2008. Is there a similar option in Visual Studio 2005? Or something else that would accomplish such a task? An add-in, maybe? ...
I've got a problem with a SOAP Web Reference that was generated by Visual Studio 2005 (.NET framework is v2.0.50727.42) - it works fine under the Debug build configuration (and has for months) but now that I want to go live and have compiled using the Release configuration, it has stopped working. Exceptions are raised at runtime whenev...
I'm trying to use boundschecker to analyze a rather complex program. Running the program with boundschecker is almost too slow for it to be of any use since it takes me almost a day to run the program to the point in the code where I suspect the issue exists. Can anyone give me some ideas for how to inspect only certain parts of my sof...
In attempting to use the Performance Tools on an ASP.NET website I'm getting various combinations of these errors (depending on what I attempt to do to fix them): The web site could not be configured correctly. Configuring '\web.config' failed. Access to the path '\web.config' is denied. - I can make this dissappear by checking-out the...
Does anyone know good current (.Net 2.0 3.0 or 3.5) basic documentation, books or urls that document the basics of how to program this in VB.Net or C#. Thanks Roy Cotton ...
After a number of hours Googling, I think it's time to ask the experts. We have a legacy module (MS Visual C++ 6.0) that we are trying to port to VS 2005. A number of calling applications exist, so we're trying, if possible, to keep these backward-compatible. Code-wise, this turned out pretty straightforward and a few hours of develop...
