• Visual C++ Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

  I am working on a mulitple project solution in .Net 2003 whcih contains a mixture of C++ and C# code, either DLLs or LIBs. The main dll called is a mixture of unmanaged and managed code, managed code was added due to the addition of the C# code. I have a test application that calls this dll to run tests, surprise that! If I compile the test application, which is a VB.Net application, to the same directory as where all the DLLs and LIBs are built to all works fine. However, if the test application is built to a different folder I get the following error when I run the application: Run Time error '-2147024894(80070002)' File pr assembly name Blah.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

• SQL Server What permissions to give Cluster account in SQL

  Hey guys. I'll have an active/active cluster and seperate accounts for SQL Services and Cluster service. The question is what rights should the cluster account have in SQL if I've removed the 'builtin admins' from SQL Thank you The cluster account must be in a domain group, which will automatically have previlege of "builtin admins". This is due to a security problem as "builtin admins" still not strong enough to protect cluster services. See BOL for more details. ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolStripManager.Merge does not work

  Hello all I have tried with no success to get 2 toolstrips one on an mdi parent the other on a child to merge using ToolStripManager.Merge(ChildToolStrip, ParentToolStrip) this does not work.

• Windows Forms Is this possible in .NET?

  Is it possible to make this kind of toolbar in .NET. If so how Matt Yup. You can make something exactly like that just using a Windows Form.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Breaking Point

  I need to take this slow. 1. I have created a sql database that will allow me to input user info. 2. I have used the detail view of the database to create a form. 3. I have inserted a dataviewgrid and linked it to my datasource. 4. I have added a radio button to my form. 5. I have added two text boxes ( 1 is text the other is numeric) Now what I need to know how to do (in detail) is the following: 1. The text that I put into my first textbox to appear in my datagridview as a title 2. I need the numeric value that I enter into my second textbox to appear below it. This is a good start towards resolving my larger issue. I will ask other questions as they arrive but I have to start somewhere. Stupid! I just ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions NEW to prgramming/VBE

  OK I'm having a hard time trying to get a program together, I thought I was clever enough to cut and paste here and there and to get the thing done. Well, I'm clever enough to see that I can do it, all the books and articles I've found aren't of much help, because I'm starting from scratch, don't care about the web and I have loads of string manipulations to do, basically I'm trying to build a custom log_files interpreter. So here is the questions: Were can I find decent documentation/books that I can source, document myself and get going THX to all that can answer or provide guidance PAOLO that I can do, it's part of my daily work, what I don't know is to then how to piece ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using Device Emulator to support non-local WinMobile users

  Greetings, I'd like to use the DE to support multiple WM devices, all apart from my physical location. Ideally, I'd like each emulator image to run the same ROM image as the deployed device and have the same appearance. From the emulator's help file, it seems I can extract a run-time image from a connected physical device, so it looks like I can handle the first desired item. I've looked high and low for emulator skins without luck. Barry Bond's August 06 link http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/downloads/Emulator/default.aspx,%20lists is not found any longer. Lastly, I have downloaded, via Verizon & UT Starcom, the AKU 2.2 update for its XV-6700. The ROMS are in .nbf. Any development tools to make them usable with the emula ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using properties/methods of Win form controls beyond scope of proj namespace

  Hi all, Possibly a very simple answer - but no documentation has revealed the answer so any help would be very useful. I have a Windows forms application project with a few controls, built with the form designer. In the header file for this form (the usual "Form1.h") I have the namespace named after my project and within it, the usual managed class defining the form and its controls. My question is, if I need to access the properties and methods of these controls from beyond the scope of the namespace, how can I resolve scope to access the form and its controls Ideally this would be possible from a separate source file, but essentially the methods and properties of a control on the form must be accessible from outside ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Securing SQL Mobile Connection Password (Encryption)?.

  Hi All, I have a mobile application developed using the .NETCF2.0 in C#.  I have a SQL mobile database that is password protected.  The password will remain static and I want the password to be hard coded within the application assembly.  Now I could just use a constant but the problem (from a security prospective) is that it is readable from within the assembly (I think) and in memory.  I could manually encypt the password and store the result in the constant instead.  I could then decrypt it at run time.  Is there a better way   Also, I've not done encyption in .NET whats the best way to do it using .NETCF2.0 Any guidance would be appreci ...Show All

• Visual Basic FrmMain= StartupForm but with conditions....

  My app. has several forms but only one main form (FrmMain) which has to shown up on application start.
