• Visual C++ GetProcAddress doesnt find the function in my dll

  Hi all! I've just started dealing with dll-s for two days, but I got stucked and dont see how to move on..so to make my first steps, with some searching I created a Test.dll with a function fnTest() in it. Exactly it's prototype in the header file looks like the following: __declspec(dllexport) int fnTest(void); If I'm using implicit linking it's ok. The trouble is on when I try to link it explicitly. HINSTANCE Testdll; Testdll = LoadLibrary("Test.dll"); They are still good, it finds the Test.dll, but the GetProcAddress returns with NULL, although it should work..(The dll is correct, it worked while linking implicitly): fnTestptr importaltfnTest; importaltfnTest = (fnTestptr)GetProcAddress(Testdll,"fnTes ...Show All

• Visual Basic Executable runs for one user and not another?

  I wrote an application in VB (Visual Studio 2005) and took it to a client's office on a CD. I copied the program.exe to one of the client's computers (running Windows XP) and the program runs fine. I copied it to the computer at the next desk (running Windows 2000), and it aborts immediately with an unhandled exception error. It won't run on their server either (Small Bus Server 2000). I'm an old VB6 programmer. Did I miss something in the documentation about how to distribute my applications Is there something wrong with the client not using XP for his operating system Without seeing the exception its difficult to determine an exact cause BUT for a VB 2005 application to work requires both ver ...Show All

  Hello all, I am trying to build a full-text search index on a table that contains about 33 million rows. Unfortunately this is not working as expected.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Issue manipulating numeric values in textboxes

  I am building a program which has many text boxes most of which are user inputs and a few which output results based on the user inputs However i noticed that I cant do something like this; textbox1.text = textbox2.text + textbox3.text because the resault will turn out to be "textbox2textbox3" This only happens when i try to add some values from textboxes but it seems that the other operators work fine doing it the same way The only way that ive found to get the "+" operator working like the others is to define a variable and assign it to the value in the textbox, like this; Dim value2 as Double = textbox2 Dim value3 as Double = textbox3 textbox1 = value2 + value3 but this way seems pr ...Show All

• Visual C# Reference question

  There will be no code in here. Everything is just logorrhea. I need to dynamically update an Graphics object that I borrowed from a demo. In short, a plot is created and when I decided to analyze the curve, I click a button and a set of routines go into action and the end result is a set of marks on this plot surface. The marks are all bmp files. All this software is confined in a separate Class. I should add an important thing: the plot is located on a dynamically, at runtime created TabPage and when I do not need the plot anymore I click another button and the TabPage is destroyed. Therefore the TabPage and the Plot operate in a separate thread. I also need to create another Plot on an another individual TabPage. This second plo ...Show All
