QuestionSetup and deploy app in vb.net with sql server 2008 databasemembercoderunner201220 Sep '12 - 5:13 
hi everyone,
 
I want to know how to deploy my application using vb.net database sql server 2008 knowing that the client has not sql server 2008 installed on his computer.
AnswerRe: Setup and deploy app in vb.net with sql server 2008 databasemvpSandeep Mewara4 Oct '12 - 20:59 
If you need to install SQL server before installing software with database, you can embed a per-requisite in your installer.
 
Have a look at these for adding database:
Creating setup With support for database creation Using VS.NET[^]
Create database during installation of a .NET application [^]
Deploy your Application and Database[^]
 

For Prerequisite, look here:

QuestionDifference between Express and ProfessionalmemberWhitecatSolutions16 Sep '12 - 20:22 
Hi All
 
I have been using the express editions for a number of years now and have been considering purchasing a professional edition.
 
Can any body tell me what the differences are between the express editions and the professional editions of VS2012?
 
In other words what extra am I getting for my money if I purchase?
 
Regards
AnswerRe: Difference between Express and ProfessionalmvpRichard MacCutchan16 Sep '12 - 21:13 
The professional editions include things like resource editor, MFC, managed C++ etc. The best thing to do is to look at the Microsoft product descriptions and check which extra features you actually need.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

AnswerRe: Difference between Express and ProfessionalprotectorPete O'Hanlon17 Sep '12 - 2:47 
One of the big differences between the two is in the fact that you can't host plugins/extensions in Visual Studio Express. If you see a plugin that you absolutely must have, then you have to be using a paid version of Visual Studio.

QuestionWhich version of VS11?memberkinar22 Aug '12 - 6:04 
OK, my company is looking to purchase VS11. In the past they have always just gotten us the basic Pro version (no MSDN) by default. This year they are seriously considering getting us the MSDN subscription and asked us to make a case for getting Premium or Ultimate as well.
 
I've gone to the comparison chart here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/compare[^]
But since I've never used anything but Pro, a lot of the features are foreign to me.
 
We are a small team in a large company and we don't use anything TFS related. We are primarily a C++ shop (largely MFC/ATL/COM) with a very small amount of .NET but very little UI development and very little database or web development.
 
So, for those of you who have Premium or Ultimate, what would you REALLY miss if you were dropped down to Pro? and Why?
AnswerRe: Which version of VS11?protectorPete O'Hanlon22 Aug '12 - 6:19 
I use VS Ultimate. I would miss the Architecture functionality (especially the ability to generate dependency graphs) and the Code Coverage in the tests, but not enough to worry about them.

AnswerRe: Which version of VS11?memberCollin Jasnoch22 Aug '12 - 6:21 
A few years back I had the VS2010 Ultimate. Don't recall how it was justified. While it was kewl and the added tools (like intellitrace) were neat, I really did not get much benefit from it.
 
Could be learning curve, but either way the price difference makes it near impossible to justify. I currently have Pro and the only 'issue' is really the minimalness of the MSDN subscriptions. While it 'mostly' covers everything, there are things missing.
 
But honestly its not a big deal. I think by your description you are fine with Pro but I could be missing something that I forgot about.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Can you expand on this bit? I downloaded the MSDN subscription comparison spreadsheet as well but nothing jumped out at me. What is the Pro version missing that you would use if you had a higher sub?
GeneralRe: Which version of VS11?memberCollin Jasnoch22 Aug '12 - 7:30 
It could be that they have changed it. And that's actually the thing is that the MSDN subscription access can change, AFAIK.
 
The ones that stood out specifically were that I do not have fully access to Office and Visio. I know with the Ultimate I had anything and everything under the sun (so it appeared... never saw anything I did not have access to).
 
In my case our company has more of a site lic (I think) for Office products. Visio is per seat but I don't need it right now.
Also, even if Office were not provided site lic then the cost justification still would not work out (Office is not that expensive).
 
The things that mattered (IMO), were all there. For example most OS versions are providing 10 keys and I have access to VS 2010 and 2012. There are quite a few other things that I really don't care about (or know exactly what they are for) as well.

I think that VS Premium is the version that the most users going to use it. And isn't heavey. Ultimate has all features (very cool).

QuestionUpdate control event names to reflect new name property.memberNJKotze21 Aug '12 - 2:15 
Visual Studio 2012 RC Ultimate, Windows 7 32bit, WinForms Application
 
Hi guys
 
Have been googling this all morning with no easy answer.
 
I placed a button on a form and double clicked the button to create the click event. After a while I realized I did not name the button. So I named it from "button2" to "btnShowTheResults" in the Properties panel.
 
So now the button has the new name property, but the event is still called "button2_Click".
 
How do I update all the events to they have the new Name property without corrupting the Form?
 
Thank you

AnswerRe: Update control event names to reflect new name property.memberBillWoodruff10 Oct '12 - 5:34 
I am afraid (unless there's an Extension I don't know about) that the best way to do this is:
 
Immediately after you change the name of the Control: type control-h, and do a complete find-and-replace across the Project (or the entire Solution ?), changing the previous control name to the new name.
 
Or, you could manually change the name of the Click EventHandler, then go into the Properties Window / Event inspector for the Control, and wire-up the Click to the changed-name EventHandler.
 
Personally I would use find-and-replace.
 
best, Bill

In future, try posting questions like this in the Visual Studio forum here[^]. Now, as to your problem, at a command line enter the following command devenv /resetsettings. (Hint - you may need to go to the installation folder for Visual Studio to run this; open up the shortcut and copy it down).

As you have posted this in the wrong forum, you are unlikely to get any answers other than ones pointing out that this is not the right forum. Try the Visual Basic[^] forum instead.
 
You need to ask your question somewhere more appropriate, and you need to add more information to your question. What you have there is unlikely to be enough to offer any useful detail.

QuestionVB.NET: Bitmap, Bug Graphics or GetPixelmembereusta12 Jul '12 - 21:56 
Hello everyone,
For starters, I apologize for my English, I used google translate.
 
For some years that I give up trying to fix this bug which now describe.
 
It's Reading and Pixel Graphics.
 
I do not know if the bug is on the graphics or the reading of pixels.
 
The images describe the problem better.
 
1 - http://upperpix.com/pm-YSV8.html[^]
 
2 - http://upperpix.com/pm-QDA3.html[^]
 
The reading of pixels is done using an object created by me.
The 'object works fine, then incorrect values ​​are not due to some incorrect completion of the object.
 
the position of "Mouse Y" is at 0 but the values ​​I read one more.
 
If, however, change the first color of "LinearGradientBrush" and select an almost black color or a color with RGB values ​​that are close to 0, the value is correct.
 
I do not know how to solve the problem, I wrote a series of forums but no one has been able to help me.
 
Thank you and I apologize for the English, I hope you understand something.

Your question is about VB.NET so it should be posted in the proper forum[^]. Secondly, we cannot guess what is going wrong since you have not shown any code, just two pictures which mean nothing.

GeneralRe: VB.NET: Bitmap, Bug Graphics or GetPixelmembereusta14 Jul '12 - 0:25 
I do not see the VB.NET section, see section only visual basic, which is why I wrote in the 11 & VS. NET.
 
As for the rest, you're a programmer, it is not difficult to understand what I did, for this reason I dont added the code.
Reading the thread title, and content, it seems clear the code base that I could use.
At school, I did not study programming, but personally I would understand the code that could be used.
 
Just to understand, it is clear the problem I exposed?
Because if you do not even understand the problem I have given, would be useless to continue.
 
I proceed to show the underlying code, or I stop here?

No. Adorners were a WPF capability, and didn't exist in Silverlight - which WinRT is much closer to than WPF. In hunting around for an answer, I see that you have already asked and had answers to this here[^]. Asking the same question in a different location isn't going to change the underlying answer I'm afraid.
