• Windows Forms MFC71u.dll - MSVCR71.dll - MSVCP71.dll

  I am wrtiting a .Net Setup and Deployment project. This project packages up an application that was written in .Net and then deploys it on fresh systems. I was under the impression that the .Net redistibutable package supplies all the necessary dll's for runtime linking of applications built in .Net. I am getting errors complaining that MFC71u.dll, msvcr71.dll, and msvcp71.dll are not being found. I was wondering what is the correct way to distribute these to customers.

• Audio and Video Development Titleset aspect ratio

  Hi - long time listener first time caller. I am working on a disc where the main title is 1080p VC1, but some of the extras are 480i and 4x3. I'm afraid I don't have a copy of the spec. Is there a way I can set the aspect ratio for each title in my playlist This should be set in the VTSI file when you build your content. You can set this in the playlist under MediaAttributeList insert something like <VideoAttributeItem index="1" codec="VC1" sampleAspectRatio="4:3" /> However this may not work: as some titles have defective attributes in their playlists, the Xbox player will use the VTSI information in preference to that in the playlist. Of course a few titles have defective VTSI data too, the ...Show All

• Visual C# BeginInvoke and resource leaks

  From Jeffrey Richter's "CLR via C#": "You must call Endxxx or you will leak resources. CLR allocates some internal resources when you initiate asynchronous operation. If Endxxx is never called, these resources will be reclaimed only when the process terminates." This is written about functions like BeginRead and EndRead. Is this correct also for delegates For example: public delegate void SomeDelegate; ... SomeDelegate someDelegate; ... someDelegate += subscription; ... someDelegate->BeginInvoke(); If I never call someDelegate->EndInvoke, does this create resource leak, as written in the book According to Richter, the only Beginxxx function which doesn't require Endxxx is Control.BeginInvoke. I can use Control.BeginInvoke ...Show All

• Visual C++ atof rounding error

  Hello, While using visual studio 2005 I noticed an odd rounding error where 0.0355 gets converted to 0.0349 when atof("0.0355") * 100000.0 is done.

• .NET Development WEB service parameters styles

  Hello. I am implementing a client for a Web service defined on the JAVA server (JBoss AS). They tried to define a style for methods parameters as 'rpc' which meaning that parameters appear in the WSDL as they are defined on the server and .NET test application had problems when the number of parameters was greater than 1. Then they moved to 'document' style which forced WSDL to envelop a list of methods parameters into a structure and pass this structure as parameter. It is very inconvenient because the name of the structure is defined as a name of the method and there are other confusing elements in this solution. Can you provide any information about limitation or constraints on the list of parameters in WSDL generated by JAVA What ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to add multiple workitems with <TFPT workitem> using the option @filename

  I am looking for a solution to migrate multiple work items from one project located on TFS "A" to another project located on TFS "B" - perhaps by using the TFPT workitem command. Creating a list of items e.g. as XML from a query or as text output of the command <TFPT workitem @> works quite fine. Afterwards I'd like to use this list in order to create the new items (with the same field values) on the other server's project. Three main questions come up: How should the file look like which gets piped in the command TFPT workitem /fields:@filename How to disable work item validation for field values (e.g. I'd like to keep the current state and other fields as well) while creating the new items D ...Show All
