• Visual C++ Application Verifier and MFC app

  I've just tested my application with the Microsoft Application Verifier 3.2 to see if it finds anything BoundsChecker doesn't find and to run the Standard User Analyzer. Actually the Application Verifier always throws an error when I quit my application. I've then created a new MDI application with VC6 and tested that one, and I got the same error. Then started VS2005 and created a new MDI project, and again, same error when I quit the application. The error occurs somewhere in ExitProcess of the CRT. Is this a problem of the Application Verifier or the CRT ======================================= VERIFIER STOP 00000301 : pid 0x3F0: Invalid TLS index used for current stack trace.  FFFFFFFF : Invalid TLS index.  00 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Text Document at start up

  In this up i made i need to have a text document start when the app is fired for the first time then not again after that. The setting is saved per user and per version of your application. If you have run the app in the debugger, you can use the "Synchronize" button in the settings designer in order to "reset" the setting to its default value. You don't need to do this in order to publish your application, however - as soon as another user runs the app, it will be the first time for them (on that machine) Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying application version

  I have deployed our application using clickonce and signed the manifests using a code authorizing certificate and installed the application on a number of computers. Sometime (not alway) when I deploy a new version of the application the update terminates and says that the manifests have been signed by different authorities. I am using a Thawte Certificate to sign the manifests. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this I'm pretty sure that shouldn't make a difference. The certificate info should still be the same, unless they are different certs with the same file name... that could explain the problem :-) ...Show All

• Visual C++ MSPSDK: HTTP API sample won't compile in VC++

  Hi there, I read about the scope of this forum. I believe my question applies because it involves the Platform SDK... I've been trying to compile the HTTP API samples found under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\NetDS\http\server" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\NetDS\http\serviceconfig". None of this source code works. First of all the typcasting is all wrong, the different methods of typecasting and calling between C and C++ keep conflicting. When you compile what is originally a .c as a .cpp (you pretty much have to) you get errors. The funny part is that the files are originally written in C, but inserted in the documentation is a little note that says "C++". Anyway, I don't ha ...Show All

  I need to bind bool property of model to bool dependency property of control. If I wrote this in XAML in short form, like this: <Button IsEnabled="{Binding Path=Loaded}"/> I got a build error.

• Visual Studio Team System Fields with list values

  I have 2 questions regarding fields that have a list of allowed values. 1. If my possible values is a global list, can I set the default value to be the first item in the list without knowing what that item is My main reason for using a global list is that it changes frequently, and it's one of the few things in an existing project you can modify as far as work item templates are concerned. 2. Is there a way to have a field that is a multiple selection list Hello Michael, 1. No it is not possible to set a default value without knowing that item. But in your work item rules if the field allowed values changes you can always default it to a known common value in that allowed list. 2. in V1.0 we ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development uncompressed YUV to EVR

  Hi, I am writing a simple YUV media source to take in .yuv bytestreams and send it to the EVR. I have modified the MFT_Grayscale to act as a dummy transform to copy the yuv samples to the EVR. I am also using the playbackFX sample for the player. I'm having a problem with the player just showing a black screen, as if no samples are being sent to the EVR. I have verified that the samples are being processed in the dummy transform with the correct image size and attributes for my given yuv sample. I have tried other yuv samples and all just display a black screen, but the samples are being processed for sure. Is there any way to debug this to see if the samples are being sent to the EVR Or does anyone have any clues why this is happeni ...Show All

  We are trying to use the VS2005 integrated version of FxCop with Team Foundation Server at the back to enforce check-in policies and we're hitting problems with web developments - we've also adopted the Web Application way of doing web development so we have got project files since the project-less development style was causing us even more problems :( A couple of examples: Errors and warnings with no source location - please see my other post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=475875&SiteID=1 Microsoft warnings about the casing of each server side control (CA1709) - we're using the widely accepted notation of btnButton, txtTextBox, etc which appears to be throwing this problem The general problem ...Show All

• Smart Device Development A simple doubt about the device emulator ctp 2.0

  Hi! I was using the default device emulator that comes with VS 2005 (I don't know what is the version, but I think it's 1.0, right ). I've read about the v2.0 and as I saw it's faster than mine. I have done some tests and as I could see, this version (ctp 2.0) does not do the deploy of the .NET CF 2.0, right Thanks Yes, VS 2005 shipped with Device Emulator 1.0. I can't repro this - the Device Emulator 2.0 CTP is working fine for me. Deployment failures of the .NET CF 2.0 runtine are not related to the new emulator bits. Do a 'hard reset' the affected emulator and try again. ...Show All
