My database must be updated at arbitrary intervals, manually, with new info to put on standart tables that don't require structural modifications. one app will update the database. Another app, the one I will distribute (to friends and family only, but doesn't require any security feature to it, like encrypting the database) will read th...
Yes Vista sucks... I'm writing a Windows Service using .Net but getting security errors when trying to install with InstallUtil.exe. How can I install the Windows Service successfully in Windows Vista? ...

EDIT Maybe you know the tool replacing standard Intellisense and displaying r...
To create a project in VS2008 you have to assign the compiled output a name right when you create the project. If you are creating a class library this output is <output name>.DLL. I can change every other name in the project through the VS2008 interface. If I later regret the output's name I cannot find a way to change the project's ...
I'm pretty sure this problem isn't new, and pretty sure it's hard to solve. Hopefully I'm wrong about the latter. I'm trying to use the Loki::Singleton from Modern C++ Design in a program of mine. However, I can't seem to get it to work across DLLs. I think I know why this is happening: the templated code gets instantiated in every ...
Visual Studio 2008 automatically creates a folder located (in Vista) at: "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Visual Studio 2008" And I'm fine with that location. What I don't like is the "Backup Files" folder that keeps appearing inside the "Visual Studio 2008". I don't know when this folder gets created nor why because it's always empty. W...
I have around 30-40 reports in my project, and Visual Studio 2008 insists on adding them to the Toolbox each and every time I launch Visual Studio and go to the Designer. As you can imagine, this takes a while and consumes time that I could be otherwise programming. I have other custom controls that I don't want to go away, but I don't n...
I have a page which loads children pages by using jQuery's .load function... My children pages have buttons to perform some data exchange with the database server and most of them are doing ok. the problem is that some buttons are inside ModalPopupExtenders (ajaxtoolkit). When I run the children page alone (outside the parent) the moda...
I am trying to align some data in a c# struct that was created in c++. I know I'm a couple of bytes off, but I can't tell where becuase VS organizes the members in alphabetical order, rather than the order the occur in the struct (which is defined explicitly). Is it possible to change the order of the display of members in the debug di...
I am building a Qt 4.5 application on Windows using Visual Studio 2008. Whenever I run my application in Debug mode and then close it, Visual Studio prints the following to the output pane: Detected memory leaks! Dumping objects -> {696512} normal block at 0x01981AB0, 24 bytes long. Data: < > 00 CD CD CD 00 00 00...
Hi, I'm writing a windows service in C# 3.0, when calling p = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = aFileName; p.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"; p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; p.Start(); The Start() doesn't start the process and doesn't print the indicated d...
Hello, Even if I create a clean WinForms project, Edit and Continue doesn't work and gives me the error mentioned above. Edit and Continue option is checked in Tools -> Options -> Debugging. Optimization is not enabled. Seems like there is no any managed profiler set up. I am running in Debug mode I am running on x64 CPU and W...
Hi I Applied a patch to a asp.net page using the tortoise svn "Apply Patch" command. The patch was created using the "Create patch" command. The patch added a label control to the aspx page and some references to it in the codebehind. Now the solution just wont build unless I build the page seperately first. Sometimes even that wont wo...
I'm new to MSBuild, but I managed to setup the following simple script: <Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Compile" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <Configuration Condition="'$(Configuration)' == ''">Debug</Configuration> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <S...
Hi, I'm trying to use a third party web service (so I do not have access to the web service code). In Visual Studio 2008 I created a new web site project (ASP and c#), and added the web reference (not web service! so I guess it is not a WCF service... correct?). The problem is that from the documentation of the web service I know that e...
In my debug build I have a reference to a DLL that is only required in the Debug configuration (the reference is for CodeSite, a logging tool). Is it possible to exclude this reference in the Release build (my logging class only uses this reference when built in the Debug configuration). Using VB.NET and VS2008. ...
Hi, probably a pretty simple question, just couldn't find anything useful with Google. :( I have a simple unmanaged c++ project in Visual Studio 2008, and would like to add a description text. Right now I just see the name of the executable in task managers description column (processes tab), but I would like to provide my own text ther...
I could not find the Test Project in the VS2008. Can anyone point me out what components I need to install? PS: I cannot afford the Resharper. ...
In my Visual Studio 2008 web vbproj, I have included only certain files in the bin folder. I am using browserhawk and it needs to have some browser definition files (maindefs.bdd, etc...). I now always have them when I deploy the web app. When I compile my application, VS automatically adds the newly compiled .dlls to the project. I ...
There's nothing fancy going on in this program, but I get garbage output. Here are the header files I'm including, in case that's relevant. #include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> #include <vector> #include <string> #include <sstream> And I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP. Note that if I print the strin...
