• Smart Device Development How to get the values from an unmanaged arrays of strings (c++ DLL) in a C# app. using DLLImport.

  Hi everyone. I have been looking to find out for a solution but to no avail. So, I have a c++ DLL (MFC Smart Device DLL) which will export some functions. Some of those functions will return CList lists. Since C# does not understand the CList type/class, my idea is to return an array of strings, actually an array of LPWSTR. Here's the code of my function: __declspec ( dllexport ) BOOL prueba1(LPWSTR msgList[]) { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); wcscpy(msgList[0], _T( "blabla1" )); wcscpy(msgList[1], _T( "blabla2" )); return false ; } Under C#, I call this function like this: [ DllImport ( "test3.dll" , CharSet = CharSet .Auto)] public static ext ...Show All

• SQL Server measure's name can not be same in different cube?

  BY using the SSAS ,I find much problem,can someboby help me. The problem : 1,why measure in different cube can not have the same name 2,where I can modify the partition's ID？ 3，where is the profile >2) Why do you want to modify partition ID (it is possible, but I wonder why) BI Studio generates from AN_IMPORTANT_FIELD or AnImportantField the ID "An Important Field". It is total uncomfortable to have spaces in the IDs. Why BI Studio thoughts that it is wiseacre that knows better as the rest Why it doesn't leave ID untouched or doesn't ask for ID of the new being created item It is possible in the AMO to spesify ID at the time of an item creation, but it isn't in BI Studio. What a pity! I want and I s ...Show All

• Visual C# What's the appropriate exception with an input string is empty

  I'm working on an API level component (logging) and I want to throw an exception if someone calls a logging method with an empty string (""). I nomally throw an ArgumentException with an appropriate message in this case, but I've began to wonder recently if ArgumentOutOfRangeException wouldn't be a more appropriate choice since the string length is 0 which for my use would not be an valid range. Any thoughts on this For application exceptions, I think you should create your own exception class that inherit from ApplicationException. I don't know if there's "official" guidance but it's my preference to be able to distinguish exceptions caused my application vs. other exceptions. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't execute Team Build - TF30063 error

  Hi, I'm trying to execute a Build on my local machine, but I am getting the following error: TF42056: The build service could not connect to the Team Foundation Server: TF30063: You are not authorized to access http://buildServerName:8080/ I have Team Foundation for Testers installed on my machine. I know that I actually can access port 8080 on the build server because that's where our code lives, and I can access and modify the code. I'm really stuck as to how to get builds working. Can builds only be done on machines that have Team Foundation for Developers on it I hope not, because it wouldn't make any sense that a tester couldn't launch a build so they could run their tests. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am at a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Consistent set of components

  Please consider this as a plea for help - not a complaint I just downloaded and installed the newly released .NET 3.0 RC (Release Candidate) as well as the Update for Windows Communication Foundation (KB912817) which has likely nothing to do with WWF, so I am mentioning it here for the completeness sake. In addition, I installed the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation RC4, after the RC5 failed to install. Finally, I installed the Hands On Labs from http://wf.netfx3.com/files/folders/documentation/entry4919.aspx Then, I tried to re-create the Lab1 and found that everything behaves as it should, I was able to compile the application with no errors.

• SQL Server Using Views/Stored Procs in one Db, Data in Another

  I am moving an app from Access 2003 to C#/SQL Server 2005. The Access app has one front end exe and two back end databases. One back end db is for UK users, one for US users. The tables and structures are identical, but the data is different. UK users link to the UK back end, US users to the US backend. (The queries are in the front end) In SQL Server, the view and stored procs will be in one database (KCom), the US data tables in another database (KUS), and the UK data tables in another (KUK). All databases are on the same server. My question is how to let the views and stored procs in KCom know whether to pull the data from KUK or KUS. In the front end app, I use ADO.Net to deal with the SQL Server databases. I have not been able to fi ...Show All
