• Visual C++ Debug and Release Mode produces slightly different numerical result -- why?

  I have built a debug and release version of an application that produces a numeric output value. Most of the time, the two values match but occassionally there is a slight difference in output value (off by 1 at the very last digit). For example, The Debug version might report a value of -0.00003998 4 while the Release version reports a value of -0.00003998 3 What are some possible causes for these differences I know that the Release version has optimizations (such as not zeroing out memory or checking memory access beyond array boundaries) that might cause problems (such as crashing) but I was surprised that there are differences that might cause some slight differences in numerical output. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compile C++ Code without a dependency on MSVCR80.dll

  I'm trying to write a C++ application that can run command-line without any help from Microsoft. Meaning no .Net installed at all and no Visual Studio installed at all and without dependencies on the Microsoft Visual C Runtime Libraries. The application that I wrote doesn't use anything outside of standard C++ so it shouldn't require anything and it compiles on Unix AS IS. Any help would be appreciated. 'As Is' is a bit misleading. The dependency on MSVCR80.dll is the Unix equivilent of being dependant on libc.so.*. The only difference is that in the Unix world everybody already has a libc installed, where in MS world, the C runtimes are not included and need to be installed. You should be able to avoid t ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to stop vs 2005 publishing vssver2.scc!

  How does one stop vs 2005 publishing the hidden system file vssver2.scc! Is this just broken, or is there a work around to stop vs 2005 spublishing this unwanted file.. Thanks. The problem appears to eb that vss 2005 is creating this file as a system hideen file ( which vss file MUST NOT BE).. As a result it cannot be excluded from vs 2005 publish list.. Also vss 6.0d did not create vssver.scc files within \bin... They just need to work together.. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem with concatting strings on different lines in windows forms application

  Code used: Dim _PatternRows() As String = cg_text_pattern.Text.Split(vbNewLine) Dim _Pattern As String = "" For i As Integer = 0 To _PatternRows.Length - 1 _Pattern += Trim(_PatternRows(i)) & vbNewLine Next cg_text_pattern.Text = _Pattern.Trim This code adds blocks after each line, how do I avoid this The issue is that the split method overload that takes a single parameter is defined as taking a char, not a string - so it uses only the first character of vbnewline, the carriage return, and leaves the line feed as the start of the next string. You need to call the overload that takes a string array, as exemplified below: Dim test() As St ...Show All

• Gadgets My struggling gadget production.

  I am a bit of a novice w/ programming and the whole gadget concept. I am trying to create a gadget that allows me to Lock my Workstation, Shut Down or Restart the computer w/ just the click of a button. I figured it would be a simple gadget, HA! i was wrong. At first I figured i would find out what shuts down a computer... ExitWindowsEx(POWEROFF), located in user32.dll, will do it. So then I said cool maybe i can point it to that function. Well, now i dont even know if it does work cuz my gadget wont ever appear in the add list. I even dropped it into the "Program Files" fold and when i click the + button on the Sidebar the Icon shows up briefly then disappears. None of this gadget creating thing is making sense.

• Visual C# Music

  Does anybody know how to play a mp3 file ALso does anyone know of a way to trigger an event after a songf is done playing Maybe get access to its length and time it or something Steve You shoud use DirectX API or the managed directx, I don't have experience with the managed version but the native API is simple if you have to do simple things, such as play a file or get his duration; it is really difficult if you want to do "advanced" topics... After you install the directx sdk there's a lot of examples and documentation. for the events take a look at the EC_COMPLETE callback. Here some examples in delphi language, it should be clear to understand what they do, hope that helps. procedure EnumAudioDevices; var hr: HRESUL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Pulling random names from array

  I guess what I'm trying to make is a random name generator. I thought I would put the names in an array like so: code lastname = " " Dim myarray(2) As String myarray(0) = "Alex" myarray(1) = "Bill" myarray(2) = "Craig" Dim x As Integer x = GetRandomNumber(0, 2) lastname = myarray(x) This tells me that 'x' is already in the current block and stops the program before it goes to debugging. Is this close, what am I doing wrong Or, is there an easier way to do this all together I know I could use a Select Case but I was trying to condense my typing. yes, i think that seems to work...now i'm really going to show my n ...Show All
