Visual Basic Q&A

Symptoms
When you install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET on a computer that uses third-party firewall software, such as Zone Labs ZoneAlarm Pro, the Microsoft Windows Component Update (WCU) does not install all the Microsoft .NET Framework components, and the installation may stop responding (hang).
Resolution
When you install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET programs, the WCU does not install all the Microsoft .NET Framework components. The WCU installation may stop responding while it is installing the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Symptoms
When you build a solution (for example, a consoleapplication, a Microsoft Windows application, or a Microsoft Windows service) inMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 or in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the application configuration file in theoutput folder is deleted.
Resolution
This behavior may occur if you manually add the ApplicationName.exe.config file to the output folder or if you use Solution Explorer to add the ApplicationName.exe.config file to the output folder.
Note ApplicationName is a placeholder for the name of the application.

When you modify the name of the DataSet in the Properties window, save the project, and then try to open the form, you may receive the following error message on the form:

Unspecified errorWhen you build your project, you may receive the following error message:

Type ‘ApplicationName.OldDataSetName’ is not defined.
Resolution
The problem occurs because when the DataSet name is changed in the DataSet schema file (.xsd), Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET does not modify the DataSet name in the InitializeComponent of the form where the DataSet is initialized.
