• Software Development for Windows Vista CreateFile() on C:\Program Files directory on Vista

  I was using CreateFile() to create a file under some directory in Program Files. I wanted to see the "elevated" security. The result is not what I had expected. This is the piece of code I am using: memset(&security_attributes,0,sizeof(security_attributes)); security_attributes.nLength = sizeof(security_attributes); security_attributes.bInheritHandle = FALSE; handle = CreateFile("c:\\Program Files\\test",GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, &security_attributes, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING | FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH, (HANDLE)NULL /*Template File*/); if (handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE, compiling, copy and paste, debug are all slow

  Any tips on what is making the project so slow. I have about 5 report server projects, and about 3 other projects. One for My Generation and another Base Class project with one form. My machine is a 2.0 Intel with 1 gig of ram. Some times hitting enter causes a huge delay or selecting a chunk of code (10 - 20 lines) and doing a ctrl-c causes a huge lag and then again when I do a paste. Trying to debug by step thru no longer lets me do edit and continue. I get the error "Cannot currently modify this text in the editor. It is read only" Compiling a 6 meg project after simple changes takes a minute or two to come up. Is it a sourcesafe issue References Mcafee Anti virus Thanks, Phil ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where is the PositionColoredNormal Vertex type in XNA?

• Windows Forms Designed Bound Datagridview Empty

  Hi, I have the following Problem: ( Visual Studio 2005, Dotnet 2.0 MySQL, c# ) Whenever I bind my Datasource to a DataGridView with the designer, I can see the columnheaders in the designer as expected; but the Datagridview is never populated with the Data. When I start the Application, the DataGridView remains empty. ( I worked around the mysql "double-dot" bug in the select statement and a datapreview works alright) When I bind the DataSource manually to the DataGridView it is filled properly after Application startup. I am sure the problem is a noob one - but please help anyway. tia well, yes.. with the fill Method added manually it works. :-) I only thought there was some way to init the dgv ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Disappearance of Important Data

  Hi experts, I’m using the Visual FoxPro version 6 to implement the database system in the server. The database system is shared by all the users in my office. Sometimes, the server is down. I can see the users are not aware of it and continue working with the system. Is the reason of not capturing data properly and existing data are out of control when the server is down Please guide me. Thank you. Good day to you all and thank you for your guidance. Alex, you are right that I’m using DBF as a back-end and do not have a client/server system. Also, the users (about 18 users here) are always connected to the server database. The server comes with Window Server 2000 operating system. I access data by us ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System urgent...Dynamic value

  Can someone please tell me while running a web test how to capture a dynamic value from the web test response.e.g., i want to capture an insurance ID when i enter all the member details and could be able to use this ID to enter in my other scripts while running them. You'll need to use an extraction rule to pull the ID you need out into the web test context. From there, you can use it in a later request. Right click a request and select Add Extraction Rule. If you need to create a custom extraction rule, here's a how to that explains what to do: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243179.aspx Josh ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debugging DLL...

  Hi All, How can i debug a dll from my application written in C#. Dll is written in native code. I did not able to debug both simultaneously. I have checked the forums but did not find the solution. thnx Hi Visual Studio 2005 currently does not support attaching the native and managed debugger at the same time. You can either debug your managed application or your native DLL. To debug the native DLL: Set the native DLL as your startup project (right click on DLL project -> 'Set as StartUp Project'). In the DLL project settings under 'Configuration Properties' -> 'Debugging' set the 'Remote Executable' to your managed application. Visual studio will launch this executable when you start debugging your DLL. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document.

  I have been 'developing' with Visual Studio 2005 for about 3 weeks now - primarily .NET class libraries developed with VB. I am coming from VB6, although I did a lot of development with Visual C++ several years ago, so I am still trying to come to terms with the debugger. I have read many threads posted by people who are having a problem with breakpoints, specifically with the message in the subject line above. There have been many suggestions on how to fix this problem. Sometimes these suggestions work, sometimes they do not. Most of the suggestions involve deleting DLL and PDB files and rebuilding, or restarting Visual Studio. None of them suggest any problem with something the developer has done or any problem with the configuration of ...Show All

I did not think I was calling the 3d engine only the 2d. I cannot find any help on the error, where to look, etc, except what is in the error window when you cursor over it. I cannot figure out how to copy the error in that popup window to look at it further. I know some dislike nubies, but please help if you know the answer. Its disheartening to type in only 6 lines of code and not be able to debug it! To say the least.
