• Visual Studio CR on client system (redist)

  How do I make sure that the client system get's the proper CR files I've created a simple reporting app, and the client system needs to DL it. Is there a way to package it in my setup - np you add them to a setup project. (New setup project in VS), you should follow the directions that are available by the downloads of the merge modules. All this work results in a msi file which you can use to install. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Font style not found issue/exception -- how can apps work with this problem?

  I have the following code (generated by the designer): this .panelTabs.Font = new System.Drawing. Font ( "Verdana" , 11.25F, System.Drawing. FontStyle .Regular, System.Drawing. GraphicsUnit .Point, (( byte )(0))); A user running our app gets the exception: ArgumentException: Font 'Verdana' does not support style 'Regular'. because the user's computer has all verdana font files but the "Regular" one. So he has bold, italics, etc files but does NOT have the "regular" font style. If all the verdana fonts are missing, Windows smartly does a font substitution. However, when certain style is missing, it does not seem to do it. How can I avoid this exceptioon without having to go through hundred ...Show All

• SQL Server Adhoc vs PROC

  Hi Guru, When I ran my adhoc script below it generated only 45000 reads or 4 seconds but when I wrapped it into procedure it took about two minutes or millions of reads. The parameters calling both adhoc and proc are indeed the same. I'm pretty 99.9% sure that the proc does not recompile because I don't mix up between DDL and DML, no temp tables or any thing to cause proc to recompile. The big difference is adhoc used index scan for 45% but proc used bookmark lookup for 75%. Why it's so difference since they both returned the same results Please help... Below is my code, DECLARE @Mode varchar(10), @UserID varchar(36), @FromDate smalldatetime, @ToDate smalldatetime, @Inst tinyint, @LocationID smallint, @BunitID tinyint, @TeamID ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office C++ retrieving data from database.

  Hi, How come when I use C++ to read data from Access database, it only let me read up to 255 chars instead of all the text I have in that specific cell.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug: Output window: can't change text/background colors of current error/warning line (?)

  I looked all over in the fonts and colors settings under Tools/Options (including 'output window') but found no way to change the hard to see colors of the current error/warning. It causes a great amount of inefficiency with all the required squinting and face close to the monitor positioning. Is there a way to change the hard to see colors or is this a bug/design flaw The problem is that the Output Windows is pretty simple - it is a window that receives and displays text. It has no smarts: it can't distinguish between an error, a warning or some other random piece of text - it is all just text. Having said that you can increase the size and/or color of all the text that is displayed in the Output Window. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is it possible to use MFC classes in Windows Forms projects?

  I am new to Windows Forms programming. We would want to use Windows Forms for a new project because of its UI. We have lots of code with using MFC classes, such as CString, CArray etc. We don't care the UI related MFC classes. Could anybody tell me if it is possible to use non-GUI related MFC classes in Windows Forms projects Thanks a lot. No, the CLR cannot instantiate C++ class objects in unmanaged memory. You can however do it the other way around: display Windows Forms forms using the C++/CLI syntax from your MFC project. Set the /clr option, add a reference to an assembly that contains the form. Unfortunately, they need to be dialogs, shown with ShowDialog(). The MFC message loop doesn't prop ...Show All
