• Visual C++ VS2005 C++ compiler bug?

  I do not know if this is the best forum to report a MS VC++ compiler bug (please advise if I should post this to another forum). In the process of migrating code from VC6 to VC8 (i.e. Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition) I have stumbled across what I believe is a C++ compiler bug in the handling of template functions invoking the function call operator. Details and other ramblings below (after the example code that exposes the problem). #include <algorithm> #include <list> #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> class A { public : // explicit initialising constructor (made explicit to avoid implicit conversions or casts) explicit A ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development UserOps again...

  Has anyone successfully prevented default handlers for e.g. skip next, pause, etc My programming doesn't seem to keep the default handlers from being called: var VK_SKIP_NEXT = 0xC7, VK_SKIP_PREV = 0xC8; function handleEvent(evt) { switch (evt.key) { case VK_SKIP_NEXT, VK_SKIP_PREV: stop Event (evt); } } function stopEvent(evt) { evt.stopPropagation(); evt.preventDefault(); } application.addEventListener("controller_key_up", stopEvent, false); application.addEventListener("controller_key_down", handleEvent, false); Cheers Peter.

• Visual Studio Exec task and working directory

  Basically I'm using <Exec> tasks in our build system and something goes wrong, and for debugging purposes I want to see which of the Exec tasks went bad, but no matter what I set the verbosity level to I cannot get a print including WorkingDirectory. Am I missing something here or should I go ahead and file a bug Basically my exec call is something along the lines of the following <Exec Command="NMake /nologo /f WRPC.mak" WorkingDirectory="%(Nodes.rootdir)%(Nodes.directory)" /> The exec task does not log the working directory. In detailed verbosity exec task will show the commandline for Nmake. However if you want the working directory to be logged. You could use a message task right before the exe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get the list of Running Instances?

  Could you please let me know if there is any way to get the the list of Running Instances and their Type without using the Tracking or the Persistance Service Just something as simple as RunningInstancesCollection ic = WFRuntime.GetRunningInstances()! Thanks Thanks Serge for the answer. One it get WorkflowInstance::GetWorkflowDefinition(), can I perform dynamic update on that Instance My scenario is as follow, I have a WF runtime service that get events (for example a ShipmentHasArrived Event) then my runtime service should workout the WF instances that will be affected by this event then it should do some dynamic adaptation (e.g., Remove some activities because the Shipment has arrived).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem installing XNA Game Studio Beta 2

  I previously had XNAGSE beta 1 installed, however I am unable to install beta 2. I read around on the forums a bit, and this is what I tried: 1. Uninstalled beta 1 2. Ran Visual C# then closed it 3. Tried to install beta 2 However when I try to install beta 2, it gets through most of the install, but after it does "installing DirectX redist" it goes to "rolling back action" and tells me that the install ended prematurely due to an error. Anyone have any ideas what could be going wrong Should I try reinstalling Visual C# as well Please try running the installer like this: Msiexec /i xnagse_setup.msi /lv installlog.txt In addition to that if you want to grab your ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus. What do you think i like it its what the area needs no more overpriced ipods (that you have to buy addons to complete ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataView Sorting

  Hi, I have two combo boxes and a DataGridView. The two combo boxes are going to serve as filters for the DataGridView. When the form loads a stored procedure is called to return a number of records to be displayed in the DataGridView. The grid can then be filtered by using either one of the combo boxes. If the selected index changes on either combo box a DataView is created from the DataTable holding the data from the stored procedure and a Row Filter is a applied depending on what the Selected Item Value is. All this works great but the problem I have I need to combine the two filters into one. I.e. if you want to filter the data to show only today’s events and then filter it again to only show a certain type of event. ...Show All

• SQL Server Parallel execution of source SQL commands

  Hi, we're accessing a SQL Server as a source for some SSIS packages using quite complex SQL commands. We have dataflows getting data from up to 10 queries. The problem is that SSIS starts all these queries in parallel using up all the memory of the server (the source SQL server, not the server SSIS is running on). So the queries are very slow. Is there any way to force SSIS to start the queries after each other I already browsed the web for some answers on that and I'm not very optimistic... Maybe the only solution is really to feed the result of the query in raw files and process them later... Thanks, Hi Jamie, I hoped that there is a tweak for it... But that's what I expected... I voted for your suggestion and opened ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Choosing OleTransaction or WS-AT transaction protocol

  Hi all, it's me again What is the usage difference between OleTransactions and WSAT Is the usage difference only in the config file (binding attribute) or are there some differences in programming features (specific classes, codes, or something) Thank you, lingga From a WCF perspective, the feature set across the two protocols is the same. The coding and conceptual approach is the same with the protocol involved being a configuration detail. You can think of OleTx as the optimized approach that will give increased performance in the WCF client to WCF server situations. In this case, the coordination does not occur using web service messages. You should use WS-AtomicTransaction where you ne ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Storage Card File System Errors on Device Emulator

  Hi I am having trouble with the Device Emulator mapped Storage Card File System. I am running a CE 6.0 image in the Emulator. I am in particular intermittently getting failures to open files for writing with the CREATE_ALWAYS flag. Delving into the VCEFSD driver, the problem is due to the initial Find call in the VCEFSD_CreateFileW function indicating that the file exists, when it doesn't really, and later it tries to delete the file and fails because it doesn't exist. Additionally, there are 2 calls to VCEFSD_GetFileAttributesW by code in CreateFile before the VCEFSD version is called, and both these call indicate the file does indeed not exist. Any ideas I have looked at the Shared Source for the Device Emulator V1, but haven't seen anyt ...Show All
