• SQL Server ADOX and vista

  We’re calling ADOX::Table::Keys::Append to make a primary key for a table using the SQLOLEDB provider. We’re passing an ADOX::Key with Name set to a custom name, Type set to ADOX::adKeyPrimary, and a single column added. For the Append call, the 2 nd parameter is ADOX::adKeyPrimary, the third is a vtMissing (VT_ERROR with DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND), the last two are empty BSTR’s. On XP, this works well (msadox.dll file version 2.81.1117.0). On Vista, this fails with an invalid parameter error (msadox.dll version 6.0.6000.16386). Has the interface changed in some way, is this functionality not supported, or is it broken ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Error with TreeView in Web Part

  I'm attempting to create a custom web part that will display information using a TreeView.  I'm able to retrieve the required information without any problems as I can render it in raw text.  When I attempt to use a TreeView I can render the control, but I'm not able to expand any of the nodes (or collapse them if I make them expanded by default) instead I get an error message stating that "Problem with this Web page might prevent t from being displayed properly or functioning properly."  The details of the error are as follows: Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: Object Expected Code: 0 Url: The url of the page I'm viewing I've reduced the Web Part to just creating a simple TreeView and rendering it, my code is as follows: ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding Converter crashing VS and causing weird issues

• Visual C++ Problem with managed interface containing native types

  Problem with managed interface containing native types Hi everybody :) I am having some troubles trying to implement an interface class that contains native types in the methods signature. I have this: ......

• Visual C++ VS2005 C++ compiler bug?

  I do not know if this is the best forum to report a MS VC++ compiler bug (please advise if I should post this to another forum). In the process of migrating code from VC6 to VC8 (i.e. Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition) I have stumbled across what I believe is a C++ compiler bug in the handling of template functions invoking the function call operator. Details and other ramblings below (after the example code that exposes the problem). #include <algorithm> #include <list> #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> class A { public : // explicit initialising constructor (made explicit to avoid implicit conversions or casts) explicit A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Changing installation drive (on VB)

  Hello! I'm trying to install Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition on another drive, other than C.

How can i fix this problem without involving manual file moving Thank you If you already have another version of Visual Studio installed, you CANNOT change the destination drive.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Done :)

  Hello, I just wrote a little puzzle game (Windos Game Project) and now I want to build the 360 version of it, but I have a little problem (probably PEBKAC *g*) I wrote a content-processor for instanced rendering (overriding ModelProcessor) and implemented a new ContentItem called 'Font'. It reads the *.fnt files from AngelCode Bitmapfont Converter. Because I want to reuse this, I put it into a "Windows Game Library" and everything works fine.. Now, if I try to put my custom content stuff into a XBox 360 Game Lib, the build process told me, that there exists no "TargetPlatform" enum - which is needed for the serialization methods. After thinking about it, I realize, that I wouldn't make sense that th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image Source property cannot be set from a binding

  If I create a binding in code for an Image Source property like so Binding tmpBinding=new Binding("ImagePath"); tmpBinding.Source=ImagePathSource; image.SetBinding(Image.SourceProperty, tmpBinding); The image will not show. ImagePath is a property on ImagePathSource that points to a string containing the path to the image. I think the problem lies in the fact that in code the Path has to be escaped like so " RelativePath\\Image.gif " Within XAML if I create the image like so <Image Source="RelativePath\Image.gif"/> The Image will be displayed. Is there a workaround aside from creating the image in code it works for me < Grid Width = " 200 " Height = " 200 ...Show All

• Visual C# debugger steps through commentlines

  Hi, I'm trying to debug my application, so I put a breakpoint in the area I suspect to be buggy and I run my application. When I hit the breakpoint I step through the code. To my surprise I see myself stepping through lines of comment (and skipping several lines of code as if they were comment). I tried deleting the build files, rebuilding, etc, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions It is just looks like it goes through commented lines. The problem is that your app use diferent dll assembly that the current code is, so in that lines previously when you build that assembly that your application is using, there were some execution lines. To solve this problem you need to remove your reference and instead of adding assembly as ...Show All
