Well, there is a compatibility problem. You can run a project from 2002 on 2003, but not visa versa. Once a 2002 is opened in 2003 it can't be opened in 2002. Of course, there are work-a-rounds but that beyond an intro class. Note: This class is about VB .NET 2003.

In VS2003, debug info for unmanaged code is turned off by default. This is why you will not see the call stack including code in the System DLLs. To enable debugging for unmanaged code go to your project properties dialog and turn on as shown here: Contributed...

The service has been tested with a C# client auto-generated from WSDL by the wsdl.exe tool. It should work fine from any .NET language.

skmMenu can be downloaded in one of two flavors - as a stand-alone binary (the skmMenu.dll assembly), or as a source-code project. The compiled binary is compiled for the .NET Framework version 1.1 and was compiled using Visual Studio .NET 2003. To use skmMenu on a Web site using the .NET Framework version 1.0, you will need to donwload the source code version and compile it with Visual Studio .NET 2002. To accomplish this, do the following: Manually add in the downloaded .cs and Menu.

Assuming that you have successfully installed C-Sharpener For VB, the menu option should automatically appear. If it doesn't appear, then try the following: Turn on the checkbox to the left of C-Sharpener For VB and click the OK button. The menu option should now appear.

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until Visual C++ 2003. (a.k.a. version 7.1) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with either the C API, or the ancient 1.7.1 release of MySQL++. This version is an unofficial third-party contribution which is known to have bugs. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Microsoft is giving away a limited but functional version of Visual C++ 2005 which works just fine with MySQL++.

I recommend a fast computer with lots of hard disk space and lots of memory. Note that if you want to run all the features of VB .NET you need to have Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional.

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...

No. While Visual Studio makes deploying "ClickOnce" applications simple, there are several other ways to deploy "ClickOnce" applications. The .NET Framework SDK includes a tool named MAGE(Manifest Editor & Generator) that provides both a UI (mageui...

This project is my hobby and the last thing I want to do in my spare time was use a language or environment I don't enjoy (I code on Macs during the day, and that's enough pain ^_^). I like C#, and I love Visual Studio. Just about any argument you can create against it can be countered, so don't even try. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it; I know that this is certainly my philosophy with other languages/environments!

There are two main reasons. Speed and functionality. If your application needs to deliver real time mathematical results, you need speed. If your application needs to implement special, less known mathematical algorithms, not covered in standard math libraries, you need functionality. In either case MtxVec is a good choice.

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

Yes. Eiffel for .NET can be used in exactly the same way as classic Eiffel and no extra language constructs are required to produce applications. Since there are some elements of the .NET language which have no equivalents in Eiffel, such as the ability to define custom attributes, these have been extended to Eiffel for .NET so that the full features of .NET can be used. Eiffel Software (a division of ISE) is the world leader in Eiffel pure object-oriented programming tools.

Blue Ink was designed to work with Microsoft Visual Studio. Blue Ink's default set of templates output .sln and .proj files so you can immediately open and work with a generated solution using Microsoft Visual Studio. Yes, in most respects Blue Ink generated solutions are no different than manually coded solutions. Blue Ink generated solutions integrate fully with source control applications such as Microsoft SourceSafe either through Microsoft Visual Studio or externally.

No. QuickAdmin is a standard .NET control, so just needs to be referenced when compiling your C# code.

I put code in my application so that I call I call Object.Abort in my Form_Closing event but the application process never goes away. How do I do it so that the application disappears from the Task Ma
