Unspecified error when adding a new Windows form or component.

In Visual Studio 2003 when I try to add a new component or form to a project it pops up an error, "Unspecifie d Error" with no details. I tried re-setting permissions on the disk drive and also re-installing VS 2003 with no joy. Everything was hunky-dory until I installed WSE 2.0. Anybody have any clues?

Finally cured the problem by completely uninstalling VS 2003, then deleting everything that was left in its directory, and then re-installing. Probably was not WSE 2.0 that originally caused the problem. Around the same time I dowloaded a smart document wrapper add-in and other demo code from the web. Live and learn.

After using VS.Net without trouble for some time, I am now unable to create a new project or add a component to an existing project. Existing code compiles and runs OK. The problem started after installing Office 2003 Pro (over Office XP). Attempting to create a new project in either VB or C# results in an "Unregistered Libary" error. Attempting to add a new component (eg a windows form, code module, or class etc) to an existing project...

Well, the problem I'am having now applies to web applications only. Therefore, I believe it has something to do with security settings.

I have a function residing in a module that is doing some file copy and database query operations. This function is called from a regular form under a System.Windows.Forms.Timer control. The problem is that sometimes it gives an error - even when it is doing the same exact operations. It may fail on the 20th tick event or the 100th. The file and data has no changes - so, it is doing the same operations repeatedly. I'm wondering if anyone...

Essentially, InsertAT is broken! For the past couple of hours, I've been getting this "Parameter name: '-2147483550' is not a valid value for 'index'." error. Apparently, its caused by having manually inserted a row in the table bound to the Combo box. The InsertAt Method of adding a row just does not work. Hope this helps anyone with this problem. john

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
