• Visual C++ Write a text file with Visual Studio

  Hi, I am trying to write a function thats save to a text file the text I wrote in an EditBox of my main dialog. I tried many ways but the only approach that seems to work is through the code that I detail below. Still I could not write down the whole text, the last three characters are not written!!!, What I am doing wrong . Is there any way of doing this more easily . I am using Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express Edition and if i try to use fopen compiler tell me is a deprecated method, so I don't want to use it. Thanks in advance.

• Visual Studio June GAT Installation Issues

  Hi All, I had major issues in in uninstalling previous version of GAX. I had to revert to editing the registry and using msizap.exe as pointed by Tom in the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=502698&SiteID=1 . After doing so I successfully installed the June version of GAX. Since then I am not able to install GAT. It says GAX is not installed. If I try to uninstall June GAX it wants me to unregister following package(s) guid81f72285_df90_4e71_9ca5_233fdadf6200, MetaGuidancePackage. I have removed every file or registry entry which has 81f72285 in it. No success. I have installed and installed VS 2005 twice but still can't get around this problem. Any help / pointers would be appreciated. Regards, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbie Question - Yes I've searched. :)

  Bear with me...the last time I programmed was on my Atari 800 back in 1983. I've decided to take up programming again as a hobby. I've done some online coursework and I believe I'm making some decent progress. I've also ordered a book or two but haven't received them yet. This is a simple process I'm sure...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. I've made a form and a simple SQL Database. What this does is show Last Name, First Name, and a quick summary of the person (in this case historical figures.) I want to add a PictureBox that will change when you click on the name of the person. I've got .jpg files in a folder inside the Project. I've searched Help and the Web and most say with VB it's best to store the locations of ...Show All

• SQL Server Making SQL 2005 Developer accept the connection string for SQL express edition

• Visual C++ VS2K5 SP1 Beta

  After installing the SP Beta I now have code that does not build and I get errors in MS files: Error 21 error C2446: '<' : no conversion from 'MSXML2::IXMLDOMElementPtr *' to 'MSXML2::IXMLDOMElement **' c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc\include\afxtempl.h 553 I think it just died.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Virtual Variable

  Hi All, I have these two class class Base { public int number = 1; public override String ToString(){ return number.ToString(); } } class Derived : Base { public new int number = 2; } static void Main(){ Base base = new Base(); Derived derived = new Derived(); Console.WriteLine(base.ToString()); Consolt.WriteLine(derived.ToString()); } I was expecting to print out: 1 2 but I am getting: 1 1 Is there a work around to achieve what I was intended to do Thank you, Riady Hi, fields cannot behave like virtual functions. To get what you want you will need a virtual function GetNumber which you override in Derived. ToString must then use GetNumber and not the field number. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Question about concurrency and sessions

  Hello. I've been trying to understand the interdependencies between: SessionMode, InstanceContextMode, ConcurrencyMode and the used binding. I’ve done a systematic test where I issue two concurrent asynchronous calls over the same channel, and observed the following: With SessionMode=NotAllowed the calls are processed concurrently, independently of the InstanceContextMode (PerCall or PerSession), of the ConcurrencyMode and of the binding (NetTcpBinding throws an exception). This is ok because every call is handled by a different instance. With SessionMode=Required and InstanceContextMode=PerSession and ConcurrencyMode=Single, the calls are processed sequentially. This is ok because the instance is always ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can we change the WS-Addressing headers?

  By default the WSDL generated for a WCF service have WS-Addressing headers using the 2005 namespace. Is there a way we can change it to use the 2004 namespace version Thanks! Hi Raj, Madhu's example actually shows the service side (in code) and the client side (in config). You can also configure the service side in config as well, just create a custom binding as he does in his config example, but reference it from within a <service> element instead of a <client> element.

• .NET Development Porting part of a large COM+ application to .net

  I'm a litle currious that I can't find anything on this subject in the forum. There should have been written lots of COM+ application, and it's very unlikely that they all are trown away, just because .net is the current technology now. Anybody have any experince with using COM+ component in a .net application (It's simple enough - in teory - but reality usally is not so simple. Is this the right forum to ask such a question BTW With respect to UniToolbox, these are user interface ActiveX controls and I don't know whether they would be supported in .NET. You would probably want to contact the vendor for this information. .NET Windows Forms controls are unicode enabled so the UniToolbox controls should be unnecessary. Since ...Show All
