• Visual Basic GAC'd dll does not work for an application.

  Hi, I have 2 windows forms applications which uses all the required functionality from a dll which is GAC'd. They both use the dll in the same exact way just different classes in the dll. I am installing the apps using the setup and deployment project msi created by visual studio (2003). The problem I am facing is that while the first app runs fine using the GAC'd dll the second app refuses to run (both the apps have the exact same dependencies). The second app only runs when the common dll is copied into the application folder. The error that I am getting when I try to run the app without the common dll in the folder is: MyApp.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services Application has generated an exception that cou ...Show All

  Hi: I need to pass a Class Diagram from Visual Studio 2005 to a Visio Class Diagram Any body know how to do it Thanks The way to do this to use Visio UML to reverse engineer your Visual Studio solution.

• Software Development for Windows Vista can an app in protected mode use filemapping?

  Hi, My ActiveX(which runs in protected mode) does CreateFileMapping(,,"Local\\MyMap",,) and spawns another process with ShellExecuteEx the spawned process tries OpenFileMapping(,,"Local\\MyMap",,) but it fails. I tested opening the file mapping from the same activeX and it succeeds. Is there a special setting that allows seperate process(could be low/medium/high privileged) to open the file mapping object Thank you Thanks again, Oliver Actually, I've read the articles mentioned many times even before I posted the original question..

• Visual Studio LaunchDebugTarget always claims file does not exist

  Hi I'm using the latest VSIP SDK packages (Sept 06) and attempting to reach first base in a project to launch and talk to a number of DebugEngines simultaneously. First base is somewhat unambitious: just launch a program with an attached DebugEngine. I've copied "hello.exe" to C:\ just to make sure it's nothing daft like spaces in filenames that causes the problems. Essentially, I always get a file not found error from the return of the LaunchDebugTargets. Any suggestions as to what fundamental bit I'm not getting CComPtr<IVsUIShell> spUiShell; HRESULT hr = pisp->QueryService(SID_SVsUIShell, IID_IVsUIShell, ( void **) &spUiShell); CComPtr<IVsDebugger> dbgr; hr = pisp->QueryService(SID_ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Detecting a serial pinchange, and the pin it rode in on.

  Hello, I've been trying to piece together an event handler for a serial pinchange event. I have what one would expect: Private Sub SerialPort1_PinChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.IO.Ports.SerialPinChangedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.PinChanged msgbox("pin change") end sub which works great. But I don't know how to tell WHICH pin is changed. I know that VB knows, but I can't figure out how to get it to tell me if it's the DCD, DSR, CTS, or RI pin. I'm in my 3rd week with Visual Basic, trying to do my own version of the infamous KegBot. When I look to the reference material on pinchange events it still all seems like gibberish to me. I just don't speak the language yet. an ...Show All

• Visual Basic looking to exclude a function based on a flag

  i want to (based on a flag) not reference any ink stuff so my application can run on non tablet pc's. what contructs in VB do i use would i need to remove references to the dll how do i that with functions in a class not sure what this is called...sorry for the vague questions. Dan You can't do what you want to do that way, based on what I think you are saying; however: You can use conditional compilation flags: #if USE_INK then #end if But this is at compilation (when you create the executable) . Do you need 2 executables or just one If you need two, then you can use the conditional compilation, as shown here, and run the desired executable on the target machine.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista RC2: RasSetEntryProperties() return failed if non-admin

  Hello, System setup: Vista RC2. We have some Managed C++ code that calls RasSetEntryProperties() to create a phonebook entry in order to perform a direct connection through a modem device. If I am logged in to the machine as a Windows administrator, the RasSetEntryProperties() call returns 0. However, when I log in as a non-admin (i.e., a standard User), my RasSetEntryProperties() call still returns failed, return value is '5'. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on On Vista RC1 I did the following test to see how dial-up connections are handled by Vista itself: 1) Go to Control Panel | Network and Sharing Center 2) Click on the "Set up a connection or network" task 3 ...Show All
