• MLewis001 Handling incompatible old libraries

  I am currently trying to compile code which uses old C code with a C++ wrapper. It had compiled on earlier versions of software (within the past two years), but Maya needs an updated version. I think one source of the problems is that the C code relies on old libraries. I tried changing <iostream.h> to <iostream> but it introduced a handful of errors in the C code which I am hoping to avoid getting wrapped up in. I get the following errors using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition: LIBCMTD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::bad_cast::bad_cast(char const *)" ( 0bad_cast@std@@QAE@PBD@Z) already defined in handsimulatenode.obj LIBCMTD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::b ...Show All

• GMan5309 reset work items refnames

  hi, i`m defining work-items with specific refnames. but i`m not satisfied with my naming conventions and want to change the names of some fields. but this is not possible and i get the following error: tfs does not support renaming of fields. i thought i just could delete the project where i imported the work-items. but the refnames are obviously remembered and i can`t redefine them. so my question is: is it possible to reset tfs relating to refnames of work-items maybe delete all projects You may try deleting the fields using witfields.exe first before using a different refname for your fields. ...Show All

• oloko_rj Disk space problems while trying to install Visual Web Developer Express

  I am trying to install Visual Web Dev. Exp. and the installer is insisting that I need 1.3 G free on my C drive even though I am trying to (indeed being forced to) install it on D: drive. Admittedly this is a very old machine with limited space on my C drive (about 860Meg at the moment.) Will doing a manual install (downloading an image and burning an install CD) allow me to get around this problem (I really am unable to understand why they couldn't have designed a little more flexibility into the installer.) There are dependencies of shared components that Visual Studio Express uses and hence why a lot of users are unable to change the download location. If you have never installed before you ...Show All

• Markish How to Switch Team Suite Versions

  I have team suite installed. When I first ran it, I was prompted to select an edition. I chose Team Edition for Architects. I assumed that this would allow me to do everything that Team Edition for Developer would do but would arrange the menus items differently. However, this is not the case. I now wish to work with Team Edition for Developers. How can I get Visual Studio to prompt me again for which version I wish to work with Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Will Are you sure that's what it prompted you for The reason I ask is that the different editions are not mutually exclusive - installing a Team Edition simply installs VS Pro, then installs the Team Edition add-ons ...Show All

• SomeGuyOnAComputer Point me in the right direction

  I am wondering where i can get more specific information on the use of Me.Text  = Filename.   I can get it to work but it gives me the full path of the file.  I am sure that there is some factor that I can attach to the above to only display the filename without seeing the whole path and show only the name of the file.  The problem is I don't know if it is a Me issue or a FileName. issue. I have scoured (at least in my mind) several books, and the MSDN and I am not finding what I am looking for.  I am sure it is also very, very basic. Anyone LDavis 501   Thanks for the encouragement. Man I am always scouring the MSDN for my anwsers, the problem tends ...Show All

• docturny How do I recover from missing .mdf and .ldf files

  Hello, My project is expecting .mdf and .ldf files in the DesignDB folder of my solution folder. Somehow they have disappeared. This is undoubtedly due to a machine crash earlier today.

• Tej62007 Help with "Concentration" Game

  I am a student studying VB for the first time and I've run into a snag programming as assignment. It's a matching game consisting of 8 pairs of matching words randomly assigned to 16 labels. When a label is clicked, the word currently assigned to it will display. If two labels are clicked and the words match, the labels are disabled and change their color. This is done until all 8 pairs of words are found, after which a message box is displayed indicating the game is over. I am confused as to how I can randomize the list of words and assign them to the labels, as well as how to check for matching. Any help would be appreciated. if you used an ArrayList as shown earlier, you simply do this to remove an ite ...Show All
