Does C# provide an effective means of scanning the available COM ports? I would like to have a dropdown list in my application wherein the user can select one of the detected COM ports. Creating and populating the dropdown list is not a problem. I just need to know how to scan for the available COM ports using C#. I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. Thanks.
I have been trying using MS VSTS 2008, no luck so far..
After the redirection from server to accomodate the sessionID in URL, the test fails during the first time recording.
I am open to looking at other tools which are not very expensive.
Does anyone have any experience using any tool for testing cookieless sessionID website?
The following code is generating warning C6284 when compiled with /analyze on MSVC 2008 : object passed as parameter '%s' when string is required in call to function.
CString strTmp, str;
str = L"aaa.txt"
strTmp.Format (L"File: %s", str);
I'm looking for a nice solution for this that would not require static_cast
In 2008 Artur Carvalho asked for an Alternative IDE for Silverlight and was told to look at VisualStudio Express.
Is that still the valid answer in 2010 or are there other IDEs one should consider (cost/ OS it runs on / stability)?
I'm trying to get a feel for silverlight development before commiting cash. So I don't need enterprize level tools or a license to distribute ..
Would MonoDevelop and Moonlight be an option?
Just recently released an application to the Windows Store, and I'm wondering if it is possible to "downgrade" it to Windows Phone 7.1 - until Windows Phone 8 will arrive.
The real problem is with the async stuff, I've found the "Async Targeting Pack", but it requires VisualStudio 2012; however VS2012 doesn't work with the Phone SDK 7.0, 7.1.
I'm not in the mood to install old and ugly VisualStudio 2010 on my brand new Windows 8 machine :)
Does anyone know a workaround?
The Arcana Elite Suite for Intraweb hasn't been updated since March 2008. Does this mean it won't work with any bundled Intraweb later than Delphi 2007?
Anyone tried it with D2009 or D2010?
ETA: I use visualstudio2008 express edition.
If I override WndProc and mess up somehow, I'll usually backtrack by commenting out code until it works again.
The strange thing with WndProc though is you can strip it down to:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
MyBase.WndProc((m))
End Sub
and it still throws the error.
I have to remove the code and retype it in to reset the error.
Anyone else experienced this?
Ok, I installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components here file:///C:/Users/davids/AppData/Local/Temp/instructions_enu.htm but I guess these dlls are not in this.
Anyone know where the heck I can get these? Yes, I'm running SQL 2008 so they are missing because they're for 2005.
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
...
I recently installed windows 7, visualstudio2008, and .net framework 3.5.
With these installed, I was unable to find the .net framework configuration tool.
It should be located in %windir%\Microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.507727\ with the file name mscorcfg.msc
The only place I found something similar is in %windir%\Microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705 where there are files named mscormmc.cfg and mscormmc.dll
Any idea where to get the configuration tool?
In the ClickOnce "Application Files" files dialog, most of the entries for files are listed with the name "C". I have seen this on a colleague's machine for a different project as well. Has anyone else seen this and is there a way to get the correct filename inserted? We are both using VS 2008.
Hi,
I just noticed that if I have an identity column in a table, when I insert new rows MS SQL 2008 is automatically filling up the sequence if there are discontinuity. I mean, if in my identity column I have 1,2,5,6 if I insert other two rows in the table the system puts automatically 3,7 in the identity column.
Do you know how to control this behavior?
THANKS
I am doing a md5 hash, and just want to make sure the result of:
md5.ComputeHash(bytePassword);
Is consistent regardless of the server?
e.g. windows 2003/2008 and 32/64 bit etc.
Hi,
I have downloaded WCF RIA Services Beta from the following website: WCF RIA Services Beta for VisualStudio2008 SP1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=76bb3a07-3846-4564-b0c3-27972bcaabce&displaylang=en#filelist
But I am unable to add a reference to the following assembly : system.Windows.Ria.Data
I searched at the downloaded location c:\Program files\Microsoft SDK's\RIA Services but i am unable to find this dll.
Would appreciate if you could point me what I am missing here.
Does anyone have a sample post build event for Babel Obfuscator I can just copy and paste into my .net assembly release build configuration?
The documentation for Babel is 54 pages long, and unfortunately doesn't come with any real world samples on how to use it with VisualStudio integration.
Failing that , is there a free obfuscator out there that integrates well with VS 2008 post build, so that it will obfuscate the release DLL during each new build. I was using Eazfuscator which broke since they released version 2.8.
Thank you
What is the quickest way to fill a SQL table with dummy data?
I have a wide table with about 40 fields of different kinds (int, bit, varchar, etc.) and need to do some performance testing. I'm using SQL Server 2008.
Thank you!
I am using a Microsoft Chart control (system.windows.forms.datavisualization.charting.chart) in a Windows forms application, vb.net 2008. I use folder paths for the x values in a pie chart. Chart control converts a name like c:\newfolder into c:[newline]ewfolder. I tried adding a slash, making it c:\\newfolder, but this only changes it to c:\[newline]ewfolder. Is there a workaround for this behavior?
1) Is it possible to use llvm-py on Windows without VisualStudio 2008? Maybe I can compile files on another computer and use on my?
2) Is llvm-py mature enough in your opinion? If not, what are the problems?

Hello everyone,
When I use the following statement to create a new instance of MediaItem (VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + C# + Windows 7), and I met with the following exception, any ideas what is wrong? I have tried with other wmv files, and there are no such issues. BTW: I am using Expression Encoder 3 SDK.
MediaItem video = new MediaItem("1.wmv");
Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.UnindexedFileException
{"Cannot seek file."}
thanks in advance,
George
Hi,
I have master SQL server with DB Central and a lot of satellite SQL servers with DB Client. I need to collect data from log tables(LogTable) on Client(each client has own ID in log table) to one big table on Central(LogTableCentral).
Data must go only from Client to Central
On each Client I want to have only data for this Client
I need solution with minimal amount of work on client side because of count of clients
Central is MS SQL server Enterprise, Clients are MS SQL server 2005, 2008
Thanks a lot
EDIT: data can be collected periodically(for example: every day at 01:00)
I know the following:
asp.net webforms, mvc, sql server 2005/2008, web services, and windows services.
I want to expand so I can be a little more versatile.
What things should I be focusing on? (this is general guidance, with a web focus)
I am thinking:
SSIS
windows workflow
sharepoint
What other common skills should I know that seem to be go well with what I know already?
I currently run VisualStudio2008 SP1 connecting to Team Foundation Server. I want to try out the VisualSVN client connecting to a separate repository I have in SVN. Is it possible to install the VisualSVN client on my existing dev machine such that I can use Visual SVN for some of my solutions and TFS for others?
When I checkout, checkin, rename soemthing in Vs 2008 SP1 while I have the project open in Expression Blend 3, these changes are not updated in Blend until I close and reopen the solution in blend or I try to checkout/checkin an item that is aready checked out. Is this a known bug? And is there a workaround?
I have this very simple sql statement:
SELECT max_dose
FROM psychotropes
WHERE (patient_meds.psychotrope = psychotrope_name) AND (patient_meds.patient_id = 12)
when I try to run it in VisualStudio2008, it tells me "The multi-part 'patient_meds.psychotrope' identifier could not be bound"
it's weird, because I did set a relationship between the two tables in the diagram viewer
