Why I do not have a button "Start Debugging"? Instead, the "Attach ...". Property "Set project as Startup" did not help.

I have the following code:

Function Main()

                'Declare variables

                Dim oPkg, oTextConn, oFSO

                Dim basepath, remotePath

                Dim filedate, importFilename

                'Create objects

                Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

                Set oTextConn = oPkg.Connections("DataFile")

                Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

                'Config

                basepath   = "E:\TEST\"

                remotePath = "\\Server1"

                'Set the data filename based on yesterday's date

                filedate = DateAdd("d", -1, Now())

                importFilename = Right(Year(filedate), 2) & Right("00" & Month(filedate), 2) & Right("00" & Day(filedate), 2) & ".MRNG"

                'Set the datasources of the data file connections

                oTextConn.DataSource = basepath & "\data\" & importFilename

                'Get the import file

                oFSO.CopyFile remotePath & "\" & importFilename, basepath & "\data\"& importFilename

                'Cleanup

                Set oFSO = Nothing

                Set oTextConn = Nothing

                Set oPkg = Nothing

                Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

End Function

I am receiving errors in the 'Create Objects' section (DTSGlobalVariables.Parent).

How would I convert for SQLSERVER 2012 SSIS?

I am complete newbie to C#.

I've got a code from a friend. He is not available to help me any more. The code is clean and ready to compile.  I added setup project to this solution.

Setup does the following:

1. creates a folder named "Budget" on C:\drive.

2. copies executable, config file and icon into this location.

3. Loads itself into the system tray.

It does it correctly.

The problem that I have is that initially icon in system tray does not point to executable file from c:\budget. I know it because it looks probably into wrong config and brings up to the screen wrong contents. Also if I close the program from the tray and click on executable on C:\drive it starts working correctly.

I cannot find out where it points to because I have menu in this program that uses right mouse so I cannot view properties.

My solution should create executable in Debug folder. But when I open solution folder I have "executables" (for the main program, not for the setup) in bin/debug folder and obj/debug folder. Maybe it points to Obj/debug. When I click on executable  in obj/debug it gives me error message because it does not have config in this location.

I would appreciate if someone points me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have been experiencing issues with Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 and after searching and attempting 'fixes' found online, I still have not been able to solve my problem.

Here are the steps I am taking that lead to my issue:

1) Open VS under admin privilege.

2) File -> New -> Project

3)Templates-> Visual C# - > Console Application(though any C# project results in the same issue). Then I hit 'OK'.

4) A popup occurs(with a green progress bar) stating Visual Studio is creating the project.

5)Popup never goes away and the project is created. I've waited over an hour multiple times with no success. The only way to stop the action is to force kill visual studio. Sometimes VS will just become unresponsive too.

When I run Visual Studio in safemode, it works fine. This would lead me to believe there is a problem with extensions. However, this is a clean install with no extensions installed. I need to be out of Safemode to work on certain projects of mine. I've tried devenv resetsettings, re installing the templates, redoing Setup. I've uninstalled completely and reinstalled completely multiple times, as well as done a repair. My computer's performance is not a problem, many gigs free of RAM and CPU usage is barely being used. I have also done virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and malware scan with MalwareBytes which both came back as negative.

I am out of options, what can I do to fix this issue?

I am a Newbie who wants to learn web development. it seems in older version of visual studio, when you add a database item in solution explorer there is a database explorer.

but now in my visual studio 2013, if i add a database item, there is no database explorer to let me browse table or others below. Why? I installed SQL express and Visual Studio on windows 8.1 x64

Also any pointers to free tutorial on the internet that lets me learn and practise working with database in a web application?

Hi,

I have a serious problem that I cannot resolve. I am using Visual Studio 2013 Community Update 4.My OS is Windows 8.1 Pro.

Every time I start a new windows store/phone project and open the mainpage.xaml I receive this error message and cannot access the visual xaml designer:

- Deleting Shadow Cache

- Found no file in the root of C:\ called "program"

- Ran a batch file with these commands:

Hello!

I have to develop management information system to regard the education society for my research plan. Professor asked me the technical specifications in details. Can I develop my system with Visual Studio 2010 Express edition - free version? The work flow of my system is going to save student records from schools (start from ten primary schools, one township , average students number 15000), responsible users can retrieve at any time they need, produce reports. The main purpose is to produce annual analysis report for the students who can continue to attend the school and who cannot including their parent finance, our Government can view this report and provide necessary help (by working together with international organisation) to these students to continue their education. I am now working at private company and my company used VS 2010 ultimate full version with license. But my university could't provide this edition and also server. So how can I continue to develop my system with VS IDE or do I need to change to open source system drupal, joomal or something like that? But I would like to develop my system on .Net framework and with C# language because I have studied computer studies and developed my projects with this IDE, also working with C# at current company.

Kindly provide the way to solve for this. Apologize if there is any mistake in my question.

Thanks you very much. Have a nice day to everyone.

Best Regards

Errors that occur after compiling the project

Any help would be appreciated. I guess I would consider myself as a beginner with VB.NET.

Basically - My program launches an internet explorer window. Points to a specific webpage that has records. Finds the "check all" and clicks it, then finds and clicks "delete".

I am stuck at this part. A "Message from webpage" pops up wanting to confirm the deletion of the records. I have 50 records per page and an excess of 14,000 records each day that need to be deleted. I do not have time to click OK on every single page.

I have tried to sendkey function, which worked for a while but for some odd reason, it quit working. Someone suggested using API, which I know nothing about. Please help me! I am desperate!

Here is my code. I know the "threading.thread.sleep" isn't good to use but I need someway to pause. Like i said, I am a beginner, so please be easy!

Public Class Form1

    Dim oInputs As Object
    Dim oWShell As Object


    Private Sub btndel_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btndel.Click


        With CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
            .visible = True
            .navigate("WEDPAGE GOES HERE!")
            Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
            oInputs = .document.getElementsbytagname("a")
            For Each elm In oInputs
                If InStr(elm.innertext, "(Un)Check All") > 0 Then
                    elm.click()
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next

            For Each elm In oInputs
                If InStr(elm.innertext, "Delete") > 0 Then
                    elm.click()
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next

            Do While .busy Or .readystate <> 4
                Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000)
            Loop
        End With

        Dim objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        Dim Success = objShell.AppActivate("Message from webpage")

        Do Until Success = True
            Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
            Success = objShell.AppActivate("Message from webpage")

        Loop


        Application.DoEvents()
        AppActivate("Message from webpage")
        SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}")

Hello World,

Something happened while working in my Visual Studio 2010 Professional environment.

When I delete a member from my Solution Explorer, it disappears from the memberlist, is marked as 'locked, deleted' and can be removed from TFS using Check-In. But during the delete process I get the message 'The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.'

I'm an Administrator on my computer (manually adding/deleting members in my workspace and/or directly in TFS is not a problem). I get this message for every delete I perform, even in other Solutions!

The member will remain in my workspace however. 

Can anyone help me with this problem please?

Thanks,

Guy Swagen

Recently, my copy of Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate has started loading in with a completely white screen with only the grey General bar on the left.

The other graphics render after resizing the window but the menu items (File, Edit, View, etc.) won't drop down menus when clicked on.

I have tried repairing Visual Studio (through Programs and Features), but the problem persists.

Has anyone else had this issue? Did you manage to fix it?

Hello,

I am trying create a webmethod in a webservice, this webmethod must to have two different headers, one for request and one for response.

I know exist an atribute called "SoapHeaderAttribute", the problem is his direction, just has one direction or two (in and out) but the same "header".

I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

After installing VS 2013 Community with CTP 5 I attempted to add Apache Cordova Geolocation Plugin version 0.3.10 (as well as other plugins). After clicking on the Add button message "Couldn't download plugin" was displayed.

How can this be resolved?

Hello,

I'm a C++ developer using VS 2012 and VS 2010 for developing AAA titles. I have read about not using STL and other stuff provided in the standard headers that come with VS. I read most of the stuff on the websites based on game programming and some are really from the people well known in the industry. I have seen cases where they wont even use vector, list, map and others and not even use utility functions and algorithms. In such cases they write those containers and stuff themselves which has almost the same interface and so much of debug and implementation time spent on such huge code.

I have two questions:

1: Isn't the C++ implementation that comes with VS optimized for the platform for better performance? Isn't it using some intrinsic functions that people on the client end doesn't know about and supplying their own implementation would indeed be more slower in basic container operations such as insert, remove, find, swap, copy? Lets assume that we supply our own custom allocators for faster memory management to every container that we use. Also, they take care of fragmentation, alignment and stuff. Why develop custom containers with almost same interface, why not spend that time on writing allocators and other stuff that might actually help?

2: There are times when we include a lot, a lot, of unnecessary stuff through the standard headers in a huge code base. Unnecessary, because we only needed a thing or two from such huge headers including other huge headers and so on. Now, I know templates aren't instantiated unless used, same goes for the members functions inside them and blah blah. Since, these are precompiled headers, it is safe to assume that there is no compile time hit for that unnecessary stuff. My question is, is there any hidden effect of such inclusions on code size (executable) that grows with the huge growth of the code base? In my opinion there shouldn't be, but I wanna know I'm not mistaken just in case. 

Hi,

   I have  recently  installed Visual Studio Premium 2012 on my Windows 7 - 32  bit  sytem. Once  I try  to create any project  and  click on Add Reference option  it does  not allow me to add and also not  showing the Reference manager  Window.  It shows the following error:--

Could not load file or assembly  'Microsoft.VisualStudio.ReferenceManager.Providers, Versions =11.0.0,  or one of its dependecies.

The  Module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

again if  I click on Add Reference , shows  Internal error  occured.

What  could  be the reason since  I installed  VS 2012  premium sucessfully. How  to  correct  this  error  so that I can add  refernce of  System or  any  DLL  of  projects. Any help  to get this  issue  solved appreciated.

Thanks-

Chandan

I have found in Visual Studio Ultimate that when a C++ winforms project loads that I get an error saying the designer cant be loaded. However if I change the source code slightly and save it the designer can then load in the form to edit it.

If I go into Visual Studio Community again the form designer wont load and not even if I change the source code and save it.

The form designer says it cant load because none of the classes within it can be designed.
