• Visual Basic filling a bitvector32 in a loop

  Dear all, I can fill a bitvector32 like this: Dim InBytes As Int32 dim i for i = 1 to 1000000 InBytes = i 'for example Dim InBitVector As New System.Collections.Specialized.BitVector32(InBytes) next i and then I can read out the individual bits (need this for a graphics conversion). Problem: this gets VERY slow, and I trailed that to the Dim InBitVector statement. Is there ANY way to assign an Int32 number to the InBitVector WITHOUT using the dim statement Thanks, Kees Hmm, odd. It shouldn't make any difference and it didn't when I tried it. There is however a huge difference between running the release mode or debugging with the IDE, I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Contacting the VS SDK Team??

  Hello, the company I work for saw some of the personal coding that I had done for plugins into Visual Studio and are interested in possibly persuing some SDK development as a company project. However, when they saw that an individual had to sign up to a Passport account that has personal liability to the individual in the terms of use of the Passport account and couldn't sign in as the company they had some questions. Does anyone have an email address of a contact that I would be able to pass on to my company's legal department Or is there anyway to gain access to the VSIP sites and sign up without a passport account The agreement is between the person who created the Passport and Microsoft.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Focus() does not always appear to work for me ...

  I've got a window created in XAML, and it's got a couple of TextBoxes on it. They are both focusable. Before I display this window using ShowDialog(), I set the focus to one of the TextBox controls. The first time the window is displayed, this works fine. But if the other TextBox gets focus, then it doesn't seem to relinquish it - the next time the window is displayed, the second TextBox has focus, even though I am specifically trying to set the focus to the first TextBox in code. I don't know if this matters, but I'm not destroying the window in between the times it is showed. I simply call the Hide() method to hide the window. Then before I show the window the next time, I attempt to set focus to the correct TextBox. I've stepped thro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can't register DirectShow filter

  Hi I've just created a DirectShow filter, with every required method according to the Platform SDK help, but when I try to register my DLL with regasm (since regsvr32 does not work), I have a problem. I'm told the registration worked, but when lookng in GraphEdit, I can't find my filter. And when I generate a .reg file, I can't even find any new entry in HKEY_CLASSESROOT\CLSID. I only get things put in HKEY_CLASSESROOT\Record. I don't get it, since I've done everything about registration according to what I read in the help file, on the web, and etc... Thank you very much for any help... Emeric Assuming you are programming in c++, the entry points you need for RegSvr32 are DllRegisterServer and DllUnregis ...Show All

Is it possible to change the logo associating with our plug-in in this screen I am not sure about VS packages but for add-ins there are two registry entries: AboutBoxDetails AboutIconData Check the docs about them: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19dax6cz(VS.80).aspx There should be something similar and more for packages in the SDK docs, because packages can add icons to the splash screen while add-ins can't. ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing on a Domain Controller

  One last question ( for today)... The recomindation to not install SQL express on a Domain Controller. Is there a specific technical reason or is it just the general don't use the DC has a Terminal server / sql server / application server line of thought The reason I ask is we have been using SQL 2000 on a W2k3 server configured as a DC as well as for Terminal Services. (yes I am aware of the security risks) but in a small network with 5 or less ft clients and 30 thin, I can't justify a seperate DC and App server. Kay I seem to remember that SQL 2005 creates local security groups to setup security. On a DC those would be domain groups - maybe that is suspect to security threats IIRC beta versions of ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums [Excel] How to convert Excel to jpg, gif image?

  How to convert MS Excel to jpg or gif and paste/insert to MS Word thank you very much     I had no idea we could copy a range and paste as a graphic... I do the chart gif thing all the time for userforms (load the .GIF in to an image frame or the background of multipage, etc.). Copying a range as graphic and saving is as GIF and then using the image would reduce so, so much code writing. I see many great uses for this!!! So --- once we copy the range, can we: 1) export as a graphic file and save to the hard drive (like we can with GIF export for the charts) 2) control the file fomat (aka - .GIF, .JPEG, etc) I did follow the link the gentleman's website and all his code sho ...Show All
