Hello everyone.... I'm using the Report System from Visual Studio (not Crystal Reports but RDLC). It works fine, but my problem is, that when setting the "Format code" on a Date-Field to "D" it formats it to an English Date (Wednesday, June 24, 2009) instead using my CultueInfo (German) and I can't find out how to pass a Culture-Info to...
Recently, my Visual Studio 2008(with Resharper 4.5) has started to reformat asp tags into lowercase. Example: <asp:Repeater runat="server" id="rp"> becomes <asp:repeater runat="server" id="rp"> and I can't find a way to make it not do this. I use Ctrl-k Ctrl-d to reformat. I've tried resetting the Visual Studio settings, turning...
ASP.Net app in Visual Studio 2008 I'm creating unit tests to test (in)valid logins for a web app. I have an Authenticate(User,Pass) bool method. The null case and invalid password tests are properly working. My question is how to test a valid login. I have accounts that are valid for the web app, but I feel like hardcoding in the u...
I've been using ClickOnce on Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for a while without incident. But I recently changed my dev environment and my .csproj file has now lost the list of files I need to deploy. The 'Application Files...' dialog now contains none of the dependencies that my application needs to run, just the assembly itself. Has anyone s...
We are using PublicResXFileCodeGenerator to generate *.Designer.cs files from *.resx files. Currently, these are generated whenever the .resx is saved or when we right click and choose "Run Custom Tool". I want to be able to run this tool automatically at build time, rather than having to do it manually. The Designer.cs files are not ...
I'm building an ASP.NET 3.5 web application. When I run the project (using Visual Studio's built-in server), it needs to be able to access a network share as a virtual directory. I can't seem to find any information about how to do this. The network resource is very large, is updated frequently, and is used by other developers and in ot...
As part of my software package I need to build both a WIN32 AND an x64 version of a DLL. I have a project setup that builds all necessary components and has a custom build step to build an installer. I can't figure out how to have both versions of the DLL build with one build command. The Configuration Manager allows you to select whi...
I'm struggling with a few in-house developers that are creating some web apps in VS 2008 using C#. It appears that the native tools and components in VS 2008 are not being nice about creating Web Standard code. For example, the navigation component creates items in its own table structure. Is there anyway to make a web project from ...
I am a touch typist. I am using a regular HP 17" laptop... When using visual studio 2008, frequently my right hand leaves the home row to use the arrow keys to navigate to different lines of code in the editor. I have seen viemu, iam not a vi user and am not interested in investing time to learn viemu. It is frustrating when I am cod...
I'm evaluating the AtomineerUtils addin (which allows Visual Studio to auto-enter doxygen comment blocks). It misfires slightly when I have a class definition that has __declspec (dllexport) in it. That is, instead of the class name appearing in the comment block it adds, it uses the word declspec. Small annoyance, but annoyance nonet...
Hi, i have some sourcecode that I want to compile with VS2008 but there are many errors i have to fix. Now there are some Enums like: enum { BACKGROUND = 0x00000001, WEAPON = 0x00000002, TRANSPARENT = 0x00000004 } The problem is that TRANSPARENT is defined as: #define TRANSPARENT 1 in WinGDI.h That will cause a comp...
I've encountered an odd misbehavior of VS 2008's integration with Visual Source Safe 2005. Situation occurs when I fire up VS2008 when a project is checked out to someone else, and later they check the project back in, while I still hold the VS2008 open. If I at that time add a new item, VS2008 tells me that my action has caused a ch...
Does VS have an environment variable for the path to the current solution? For example, there is "%PathToWebRoot%" which is generally set to the "WebSites" directory in your VS project directory. The value of it can be changed in any number of ways. I'm wondering if there's a variable that changes each time you load a solution to point...
It seems that the nested element with a custom defined type doesn't work in visual studio 2008. I have the following wsdl file: <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:ns1="http://org.apache.axis2/xsd" xmlns:wsaw="http://www.w3.org/2006/05/addressing/wsdl" xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http...
Hi, We are using two different versions of Visual Studio 2008, the Pro and Standard one. I started a Visual C++ MFC project using the Pro version. My teammate wanted to use my project with the standard version, but all he gets are a lot of compile errors about missing afxheaders and stuff like that. We are really helpless and don't kno...
Hi, I have created a multi plattform project, and everything works nicely, except one little things. When I add a specific plattform file, like: ServiceImpl.cs ServiceImpl.Desktop.cs it does not show up nicely in a tree fashion like in this article: Multi-Targeting (check the last image in the article to understand what I mean).. A...
I'm using 'Publish' option in vs2008 and I'm pretty happy how it works. Now I'd like to add 2 external *.exe files to installed package I've noticed button 'Application Files...' at publish tab but it seems doesn't allow adding new files manualy. I've played with this and found the way how to archive that: 1. add EXE files to project a...
Greetings! I'm working with a .NET3.5 Web Application project in Visual Studio 2008 on Vista Ultimate. I'd rather use IIS7 than Cassini as my local test web server. I have the website setup in II7 and every thing is served with no problems. However, I'd like to use the VS debugger hooked up to F5 instead of manually attaching to the ...
After recently discovering how insanely long the .net 3.5 framework was to install I searched for and found what I thought was a solution - the 'client only framework subset'. This claims to include WPF etc, all the typical things required by 'Client Applications'. Our application makes use of Client Application Services (see here: h...
I'm working on a custom user control that essentially displays a name value pair (name is on a black background, value on a white). I have my control displaying correctly, even showing up in Designer and on my build page. What I'd like to do from here is have the ability to right click on the user control and have a menu come up that ha...
