• Visual C# Compiler Error CS0570 from C++ defined property

  Compiler Error CS0570 Does anyone understand error CS0570 'class' is not supported by the language This error occurs when using imported metadata that was generated by another compiler. Your code attempted to use a class member that the compiler cannot process. The code being called was written in Managed C++ paraphrased like so: public ref class FilePath { ... [MyPropAttribute] property int Name { const int get(); } ... }; The attribute [MyPropAttribute] is defined like so: [System::AttributeUsageAttribute(System::AttributeTargets::Property)] public ref class MyPropAttribute: public System::Attribute {...}; When I try to use the property in C# code I get CS0570, but see no document on how to get around t ...Show All

• .NET Development ODBC TableAdapter Updating

  Hi, I have searched high and low to find an example to solve my problem. I use ODBC to connect to MySQL database, or any other for that matter, the application has no real call for Datasets/adapters till now so I have not used them. I now need to load an image into a blob field so using Commands and readers do not hack it. Try as I might, and I have tried, I can not see how using dataset/tableadapters etc I can add a record to a table let alone stream into a blob field the image. Any help would be welcome. to add an item directly into the DataSet: Dim theRecordToAdd() as Object = { " field1", "field2 } 'the values for each field theDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Add(theRecordToAdd) you would then need to rebin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reference from csproj to vcproj fails to build using MSbuild

  Hi, We are having an issue building a VS2005 solution using MSBuild. Our solution includes a c# project that has a project-to-project reference to a VC++ assembly project. The VC++ project has Common language runtime support set to None, but overridden on some of its source files to /clr. This builds fine within the IDE but fails to build using MSBuild from the command line. Looking at the MSBuild output, the /reference: for the VC++ assembly is missing from the CSC command line. If we enable CLR support at the project level everything builds fine, but this is not a practical option for us – there are hundreds of source files in these projects but only one or two that require the /clr switch. The link has a small example solution ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Library support

  Hi. I posted this in a thread earlier, but the thread dropped back half a dozen pages in a few hours. This place is popular! If we want to use external libraries or middleware, do they have to be written in C# and come with source provided I'm thinking of libraries like SQLite, Lua, ODE and so on that would normally be included as a .dll reference in your C# project. I assume that's not possible if you want your code to run on all available platforms That means that basically we're starting with a very clean slate here. There seem to be precious few libraries that are useful for games developers and written in pure C# for the XNA platform. The concern that I have is that not only will it take many months before a decent array of middlewa ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Configuration Manager - TCP/IP Protocol

  I want to know when someone will change Listen All to No for TCP/IP Protocol and set up individual IP addresses. One of IP addresses seems to be default to the 127.0.0.1. I guess this will only be used for testing whether the driver or network card is working or not. I have not found any MS article to explain this area clearly. I think this should be explained in detail since this is different from the Server Network Utility.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Register dlls in Vista

  I am using a much modified version of the VB6 P&D wizard, calling DLLSelfRegister in VB6stkit.dll. Under Vista this fails to register the dlls unless the user turns off UAC before running the installer. How can I code it to get the OS to prompt for a temporary lifting of UAC or elevation of status This explains the Vista behavior for "setup" programs - it's not just the name of the program. https://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2006/06/23/644545.aspx Thanks, but that suggests that my installer, called 'setup.exe', should request elevated privileges because it has 'setup' in the name, but it does not do so. ...Show All
