I found that option in VS2008. But turning in it off and then back on again it "remembered" its last known size, so the size was still completely collapsed.
Without even thinking about it, sometime over the weekend I imported a .vssettings file over the weekend to change my text editor colors (OK, I'm weird. I keep several color schemes available for variety). I had gone with all the default storage settings, which apparently include the size of the properties description window. So the act of importing the .vssettings file restored things for me.
I'd still like to know if anyone has encountered this problem before in case someday I accidentally overwrite my .vssettings file with a version where the description window is "minimized" again.

That answer is VERY CLOSE. I just had this problem, found your message, and it led me to a solution. Sorry for the reply an old thread.
PROCEDURE:
Right-click on properties and turn off "Description."
Close the Properties window.
Close Visual Studio.
Restart Visual Studio and load your project/solution.
Open the Properties window.
Right-click on a property in the window and turn on the "Description" option.
When I turned the "Description" option back on, the description pane reappeared.

Hi! I just installed a new full retail box Enterprise Architect 2002 with Visual Source Safe....... ..I can not check for online updates from help menu, and on the Start page none of the online options such as Headlines, Online community, Downloads, XML Web Services, Web Hosting work .......It says I must be online (it doesnt work even when I am online)..but under the Whats New Section of the Start page I can go online.
System: Updates VS 2002 Sp1, Net Framework sp1, sp2,sp3. I am running xp home premium with sp3, sp2 all all other updates. xp sp 1 was not installed just xp sp2 and sp3.,,, This machine is an Athlon 3200 754 with 1.5 gb ram, sata 7200 , 128 mb Nvida, and running well !! Machine also has Microsoft Web Platform Installer, SQL 2008 Config mgr, Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 (installed prior to EnterpriseArch2002) I was unable to uninstall IE8 prior to xp sp3 because it might have damaged the 2008 sql and Express software and caused other unkown problems....IIS is not installed yet. Net frameworks installed 1, 1,1 ,2, 3, 3.5 all with sevice packs..
What can I do? ...Is it a windows firewall permission that is needed?... Do I need to instal IE6 as an optional non default browser and let Visual Studio use it?.... Do I install older Opera or some other browser? ...Is it in an internet options problem? ...Is Visual Studio trying to connect to expired internet links...Do I put my install disc back in and let it check for updates as last part of install ( I did not do this as I wanted to do patches a few at a time to try to make it work since it is old.)...Since I have xp sp3 installed I can not uninstall IE8..as far as I know..besides its better and more secure than IE6. Microsoft has discontinued support for VS 2002..is that a possible cause for dead internet links?
thanks for any insight.. Andy

I'm building my C# solution from the command line in a batch file and then checking the %ERRORLEVEL%. The build is failing - I can see that the DLL is not being produced and can see the error when I'm in Visual Studio - but the %ERRORLEVEL% is 0. 
Is this a known "feature"? Has anyone else experienced this?

Assuming you meant to say "memory could not be read" you may find some help here[^].

Hi Richard,
Thanks For The Reply.
the link you provided was for the error in OS itself, but in my case i have my own win32 application which is causing the issue, so can you please tell me some solution to this issue, because i didnt get anything useful from there.
Thanks A Ton

Well if you had followed the link I gave you and checked some of the other messages, or Googled it for yourself you would have seen all the known occurrences. You will have to decide which one is closest to your situation as you have not given us any information to work from, beyond the fact that you got this error.

I have added users to the TFS Project.
But when try to access the portal, cannot access the Portal.
Please Help.

Hello,
While doing the TFS project permission settings,
You have to add users in the Portal seperately in order to give them access to the Portal.
Automatically the Portal permissions does not get set if you add users to the TFS Project.
You can add users by opening the portal, log in as admin and go to Site Settings.

How can I load a Embedded report by its name and is it possible at all?

I've written a routine that gets the windows installation key from the registry. This routine is just one part of a bigger application that I'm building. However, I have a problem with the routine not running correctly when Visual Studio's Target CPU option is changed from AnyCPU to x86. Note: I'm running a 64bit OS, but I want the app to specifically target 32bit platforms.
When VS is set to AnyCPU the routine works fine. When set to x86 an invalid cast exception of "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type 'System.Byte[]'" occurs at the DirectCast line.
Dim aryDigitalProductID As Byte()
Dim objDPID As Object = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\", "DigitalProductId", 0)
If objDPID Is Nothing Then Return "Not Available"
aryDigitalProductID = DirectCast(objDPID, Byte())
I'm using the directcast because I prefer to code with Option Strict set to on. However, if I turn Option Strict off, and coerce objDPID to an array the invalid cast exception still occurs.
Does anyone know how to overcome this so the routine would work when targeted specifically at a 32bit platform?
Also, when the AnyCPU option is selected, how does the compiled AnyCpu code differ from x86 code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (As you can probably infer, I'm not completely au fait with VB.Net and VS.)

The problem you're having is from the way x64 windows runs x86 code. The x64 regedit and the x86 regedit point to different hives.
x64 windows running x86 code will actually substitute a 32bit registry in much the same way it substitutes the 32bit Program files directory.
Your program is actually accessing the key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion when running in x86 mode, instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion that it gets in anyCPU or x64 mode, and since the DigitalProductId key doesn't exist there, you're getting your default value which is 0. That's where the System.Int32 comes from.
If you run yor program on an x86 OS it will work, it's only failing because you're specifying x86 on an x64 OS. Leave it on AnyCPU and you should be fine.
The code that VS compiles doesn't change when you change the Target CPU, it only changes a header flag that the interpreter reads and forces it to use the x86 interpreter.

Thanks for the explanation, I'd forgotten I'd posted this question it was that long ago Your answer makes perfect sense now it has been explained. I can't even remember now why I specifically wanted to target x86 architecture in the first place as the finished program was designed to run on either platform.

You're welcome. I had been searching for what AnyCPU actually did a couple days ago and this thread was one of the first hits on google, so now that I know I figured I should update it for future searchers.

Hi,
Is it possible to configure Visual Studio 2008 to use the version of MSDN library that I already have installed on my system rather than trying to search online?
Thanks

I need to read a employee database and display some fields in a windows forms application - that is fine except the varbinary(max) image. I need to move forwards and backwards through the records (some images are null).
The problem I have is using the dataset to obtain the information for the image convertion. I can find loads of code to use a button(s) to get & convert the image - this does not help me.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Below is some of my code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub GraduatesBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GraduatesBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.GraduatesBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Graduates_DatabaseDataSet)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'Graduates_DatabaseDataSet.Graduates' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.GraduatesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Graduates_DatabaseDataSet.Graduates)
End Sub
Private Sub GraduatesBindingNavigator_RefreshItems(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GraduatesBindingNavigator.RefreshItems
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
Private Sub PhotographLabel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
Private Sub SurnameTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SurnameTextBox.TextChanged
End Sub
Private Sub FillBysurnameToolStripButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Try
Me.GraduatesTableAdapter.FillBysurname(Me.Graduates_DatabaseDataSet.Graduates, SsnameToolStripTextBox.Text)
Catch ex As System.Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class

He's asked the same question in the ASP.NET forum over and over, but no matter how often he asks it, he doesn't respond to questions and has nothing remotely like the ability to comprehend the answers.
