- Visual Studio Setup and Installation Visual studio SP1 crashes the whole systemThe same problem when installation fails due to insuficient disk space - all .net apps does not work. The whole service pack is *** - Why Microsoft could not make a better installer - it gives all kinds of errors, you wait 2 hours to make the instalation and if something goes wrong you have to reinstall the whole system. The Visual Studio itself installs for less time. Now I have to reinstall the whole system because I don't have the time to wait for solution. I think there should be service pack for the servoce pack :)

- Visual Studio Source Control and SourceSafe Date-Time problem
Hi
Few days ago i uploaded some files in VSS which were supposed to be uploaded earlier, so i just changed back my system time and date to my desired date and then uploaded the file in VSS,the date and time along side that file is fine(means its the same date on which i uploaded the files after changing the dates of my pc),but when i check the history of the file it shows the actual date of file uploaded i mean it doesnt show the same date and time that was supposed to...why is it so and is there any seperate date and time mechanism of VSS or VSS takes the systems date and time

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Media Element Formats and Player
My question relates to the video format and media player in WPF. In previous frameworks, while mostly used, Direct3D was used to play videos in specific formats such as AVI or WMV. While this may work in the new framework, it is under my impression that the WPF Media element only works with WMV. Plus, in order to play the media element itself the user must have windows media player installed in order to play (version 10 or 11). When I have used the Media element it only sometimes works while loading wmv files without any other codecs necessary. Is this an issue with WPF in general, or am I have I missed something here

- Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit Installing Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 (XP edition) breaks GAT
I've just installed Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 (XP edition) and now when I try to register or unregister a GAT package (for example ASMX Guidance Package) I get the following error:
System.TypeLoadException: EnvDTE.Project, EnvDTE ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Couldn't find assembly EnvDTE.
I guess because the service pack has installed a new version of EnvDTE.
Any advice anyone
Here's the full stack trace:

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Possible to make an animated Sprite using WPF?
I'm trying to decide what might be the best way to cycle through a series of individual images or frames to give the impression of animation - similar to how an animated gif file works.
I have yet to find a single example of this kind of keyframe animation within WPF. There are probably various ways one could acheive this but I wondered if anyone could point me to an existing example using either XAML or code.
I'm currently thinking along the lines of finding a way to change the ImageSource of an ImageBrush at regular intervals - but is there a better way

- Developer Documentation and Help System Problems building using December CTP
Hi
Ive been happily using August CTP (been too busy to upgrade!) with no problems, I tried December CTP but have problems with documenting several assemblies because they result in a command that must breach the 260 characters path limit, but I dont get this issue with the August CTP.
I'm not too familiar with exactly what happens during the whole documenting process yet but I'm including a snippet from the log file from both CTPs in the hope that someone might spot something which may help me out.
From August CTP doc build (works fine):
Info: Building topic P:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.Properties
Info: Building topic M:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.Reset(System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement)
Info: Building topic M:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.SetAttributeValue(System.String,System.String)
Info: Building topic M:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.Unmerge(System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement,System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement,System.Configuration.ConfigurationSaveMode)
The same section when I use Dec CTP:
Info: BuildAssembler: Building topic T:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData
Info: BuildAssembler: Building topic Overload:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.#ctor
Info: BuildAssembler: Building topic M:Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Caching.Configuration.CustomCacheStorageData.#ctor

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
As you can see, the bit in red is more than 260 characters hence the error, there is no path information here so I cant truncate it in any way by reducing the path on disk.
I would also like to be able to try the November CTP to see if I get the same issue, but I cant find a link to previous CTP's anywhere, can anyone provide me with this also

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Another question about localizationHi,
Is there a way to change culture on the fly so that all the UI elements would be updated accordingly I tried modifying Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, but it does not have any effect once the UI is displayed (as opposed to including this code in the application constructor).
And another question, does WPF change the flow direction automatically according to the set culture or should I set it manually for each Window/Page I tried setting the current culture to arabic, but that didn't effect the flow direction. Are there more settings to tweak
Many thanks in advance.

- Visual Studio Extensibility Cross project code generation
Hi,
I'm very new to actually working with DSL and software factories, so the questions can seem a bit dumb.
Here it goes:
- If I create a new DSL and an acommpanying custom tool, I can generate code by walking over the diagram. Is there a way that the generated code can be split accross existing projects in a Visual Studio 2005 solution
- Would referencing artefacts that belong to other projects in a diagram (e.g. a diagram in a data access layer project has a reference to a business component in another project) be a good and allowable practice
That's it for now
Any help or feedback is highly appreciated.
Regards,
W. Jansoone

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Issue with frame resizing!!!
Good morning,
I'm trying to navigate throw some custom pages in my wpf application. I was checked that "AppModel/FragmentNavigationSample" in wpf samples works perfectly opening a page in a frame embedded in the main window of the application.
I copy the main window and the page to a new project created with "microsoft expressions" but, when I open the frame, the main window is resized to the content size. I think that the only difference is in the project file.
Can anyone tell me what to do to resolve this little problem

 Posted: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), ElementHost = can’t use embeded resources !? |
Top |
Hi,
I found that if you use an ElementHost on a Win form to host a xaml aplication you will not be able to use embeded resources.
This is because the only way that WPF embed's a resource on to an .exe or .dll is by defining a <resource/> on the "app.xaml" page.
So when you use an ElementHost that merely shows a simple WPF form with some images or whatever, the only way to access resources is by accessing them thru siteoforigin URI e.g "pack://siteoforigin:,,,/XamlResources". This means you have to create a folder on your aplication to store all your resources. In my case that's bad :(.
Anyone with the same problem

- Visual Studio Report Controls My query works in query analyser but freezes when i preview a reportHi guys/girls
I've got a problem with RS2000, i've generated a report, but my code freezes in RS2000 although when i run my code in Query Analyser then it works fine.
What i am trying to do is add the previous months data to the current month. when i run the query it works, but when i preview my report it just inserts the first value for all the rows
Anyway here is the code, if someone knows how to simplify it for me then please, i would be greatful or perhaps offer an alternative solution:
-- Create Table that will hold the values for the running total
declare @MyTable TABLE (UID INT IDENTITY(1,1), CurrentMonth VARCHAR(20), GPYTDValue FLOAT, RunningValueGP FLOAT)
INSERT INTO @MyTable (CurrentMonth, GPYTDValue)
SELECT dt.[month_name], (sum(ft.price)- sum(ft.cost)) as turnover2005
FROM dim_time dt, fact_transaction ft, dim_Client dc
WHERE dt.time_key = ft.time_key
AND dt.[year] IN (2005)
AND dc.client_name like '%medicare%'
GROUP BY dt.[year], dt.[Month], dt.[Month_Name]
ORDER BY dt.[Year], dt.[month], dt.[month_name],sum(ft.cost)
UPDATE @MyTable SET RunningValueGP = GPYTDValue WHERE UID = 1
DECLARE @iStart INT
DECLARE @iEnd INT
DECLARE @RunningTotalGP FLOAT
SELECT @iStart = MIN(UID) FROM @MyTable
SELECT @iEnd = MAX(UID) FROM @MyTable
SELECT @RunningTotalGP = RunningValueGP FROM @MyTable WHERE UID = @iStart
SELECT @iStart = @iStart + 1
WHILE (@iStart <= @iEnd)
BEGIN
SELECT @RunningTotalGP = @RunningTotalGP + GPYTDValue FROM @MyTable WHERE UID = @iStart
UPDATE @MyTable SET RunningValueGP = @RunningTotalGP WHERE UID = @iStart
SELECT @iStart = @iStart + 1
END
SELECT * FROM @MyTable

- ADO.NET (Pre-release) Performance when using with WCF
When I use the entities within a WCF muti-tier service, the performance is terrible. I am guessing that it is trying to search for the WCF transaction I have not specified any WCF transactions, and am using basic http binding.
The performance is so bad that the WCF service is timeouting even when i set the timeout to about 1 min. Has anyone out there used entities in a WCF service

- Windows Communication Foundation ("Indigo") ChannelFactory.Close() vs ChannelFactory.BeginClose()
We're building a web application that is using an application server via WCF web services. The web server is placed in a temporary DMZ with its own rather slow broadband connection serving traffic from the internet, while the application server is to be placed in our ordinary network behind our ordinary firewall. In other words, connections between the two servers will go through the internet with all the trouble that may cause. In about a year or so we will establish a proper DMZ to obtain a more stable and fast connection.
We have chosen to use the generic ChannelFactory class in stead of building client proxies, as this seems to be a more maintainable approach in this case.
When debugging, we have noticed that the ChannelFactory.Close() sometimes takes a little time. Some bright head came up with the idea to use the async approach in stead, by calling ChannelFactory.BeginClose(null, null), which means we initiate a close and do not wait or handle the callback by provide a delegate.
This seems to work out fine in our small test environment. My question is whether this approach is at all advisable, or might cause problems in a production environment with much heavier load.
Thanx in advance for any advice on this!

- Visual Studio Extensibility Code Generation Conference, May 2007, Cambridge, UK
The Code Generation Network is organizing a new conference themed around Code Generation tools and technologies to take place in Cambridge, UK from 18th May - 20th May 2007.
We're looking for session proposals from people who have experience applying DSLs, and can lead a session on this subject for a developer audience. Accepted session leaders will have their conference fees waived.
There's more information at the Code Generation 2007 web site. It's straightforward to submit a session proposal, but the submission deadline is Friday January 12th 2007.
Microsoft are sponsoring the event and I expect the DSL team to participate, so it will also be a great opportunity to talk about the tools with the experts.

- Visual Studio MSBuild How to tweak the OutputPath on a Visual Studio .NEt 2005 solutionHello.
I know that this kind of question has already lead to much writing on this forum. I've been digging, with no luck. I explain my need.
Context and requirements
I am compiling a MS Visual Studio .NET 2005 solution on the command line via a 'msbuild.exe' call. This solution contains several C# projects, with a dependancy graph.
By default, each project output path is set via the MSBuild 'OutputPath' property, defined with the value 'bin\$(ConfigurationName)', which imposes the output artifacts to be created related to the Visual Studio C# project location on the hard disk, in the directory 'bin\Release' related to the directory containing as a child the project, in release mode.
What I need, is to set this 'OutputPath' directory on another location, dependant on the Visual Studio C# project being compiled. Let's take an concrete example.
Example
If I have two C# projects in my solution named A.csproj and B.csproj with the following folder location:
- C:\TEST\APath\Solution.sln
- C:\TEST\APath1\A\A.csproj
- C:\TEST\APath2\B\B.csproj
I'd like the artifacts to be set in:
- C:\TEMP\AnotherPath\APath1\A\A\bin\$(ConfigurationName)
- C:\TEMP\AnotherPath\APath2\B\B\bin\$(ConfigurationName)
I'd like this to be applicable as an option, that is to say that I'd like both the default output paths to be applied if I want, and this specific output path to be applied when I need.
Constraints
- I want to discard MSBuild post-build event copy tasks, because the default location filesystem 'C:\TEST' is very slow, and this is exactly the reason why I want to change the artifcats output directory path.
- I need all the VS 2005 .NET C# projects post-build and pre-build targets to be able to keep on using the 'OutputPath' property with the overriden value.
Statement
Since MSBuild mechanism first evaluate the 'OutputPath' property, and that many properties (like the 'OutDir', 'BaseIntermediateOutputPath', 'TargetDir' properties) depend on its value, and that they are evaluated once for all before any target execution (which would enable to override the 'OutputPath' property), I cannot write a pre-build target that would override this property and be evaluated after the 'PropertyGroup' 'OutputPath' and before all the previously mentionned depending properties be evaluated.
If my requirements are not clear, I'm very ready to explain back another way. If someone is able to propose a solution, this would save my month! Thank you for your time and attention. I'm quite confident that MSBuild can achieve this ;->
