• Visual C++ Changing a constant with a pointer?

  [code] #include <cstdio> using namespace std; int main( void ) { FILE *out; fopen_s(&out, "test.out" , "w" ); const int a = 100; *( int *)(&a) = 200; fprintf(out, "%d %d\n" , a, *( int *)(&a)); fclose(out); return 0; } [/code] The code above prints 100 200 . Is that normal If so, why does it do that   dgfilimon wrote: const int a = 100; *( int *)(&a) = 200; fprintf(out, "%d %d\n" , a, *( int *)(&a)); The reason for the same is the constant values will be replaced by the compiler at compile time .

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using a Workflow by a Windows and a Web Application at the same time

  Hi Everybody, I just saw many Web Casts about WWF and I'm wondering is it possible to start the first activity of a Workflow by a Windows Application then doing the second Activity by a Web Application. I think it is not possible in the case where both Windows and Web applications must share the Same Workflow instance. Mybe there is a possibility to do that by using a Web Service by instantiating the Workflow on it then pass the reference of the Workfow by a Web Method. Thanks For Help. Hi, it's me again !! As I said, I want to rewrite the Expense Workflow but I'm blocked here ([System.IO.FileNotFoundException] = {"Could not load file or assembly 'ExpenseWorkflow' or one of its ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataFormatString in GridView

  Hi We're trying to use Media Foundation for streaming content playback (mms://).

• Visual Basic Colour or color management

  I'm writing an application to display images on a digital projector in Visual Basic Express and I'd like to add colour management support. The way I envisage this working is that the user specifies an ICC profile associated with the projector and this profile is somehow used to process an image before being displayed - presumably using ICM. However, I can't find anything about ICM support in Visual Basic Express - is it not supported, if not what version of VB would I need to have (standard or professional) -Andrew AndrewFromEssex, Even if the display device has an associated ICM color profile, GDI+ will not use that profile by default. To enable ICM for a Graphics, construct the Graphics from an HD ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled

  Let me just say at the outset that I know nothing about C# (yet) and am trialing the XNA beta to try and get into it. I do know VB and some C, however. Once I had everything installed, I tried a few example programs including the Spacewar project, but I cannot run any of them. They build fine, but I can't run the .exe, and it crashes and asks if I want to send a report to MS. If I "Start Debugging" instead, I get the error "NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled" on the "this.GameComponents.Add(this.graphics);" line. I have no idea where to even start.
