• Visual C++ error LNK2001

  Hi, (I saw the post on same subject but it seems to be a little different. so I'll use some word from that post!) There is a project earlier written in VC++ 6.0.  I opened the same project in VS. NET 2005 and I am trying to compile.  The code compiles properly (with couple of warnings) but while linking I am getting unresolved external symbol errors like this: The linker seems to have problem with seeing .obj from files in program (which are in the debug directory). It doesn't seem that the /Zl switch or the /NODEFAULTLIB  are on. 1>Linking... 1>Utm.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zone.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zones.obj ...Show All

• Visual C++ inconsistent DLL linkage

  My code is producing this: "d:\...\createsampleproject.cpp(11) : warning C4273: 'CreateSampleProject::CreateSampleProject' : inconsistent dll linkage" When I look at the line of source referred to, I see: #ifdef CREATEPRJ_EXPORTS #define CREATEPRJ_API __declspec ( dllexport ) #else #define CREATEPRJ_API __declspec ( dllimport ) #endif How can I solve that problem Use the documentation to get additional descriptions of "C4273". That is, look up C4273 in the MSDN. Also look at the documentation of "__declspec" if you are not familiar with that. Also, it would help us to help you if you were to tell us whether CreateSampleProject is the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Stronger indication of solution filtering in pending changes needed

  This has caused developers at our site to either checkin too few or too many changes, as the indication wasn't strong enough as to indicate what file set was displayed in the pending changes. Right now the indication is a tiny 1 pixel line drawn around a tiny icon. Perhaps a big world icon to the right when not filtering and the solution icon when filtered. We've had so many strange cases of missing files or too many that the only thing I can figure to be at fault is human/interface error/failure. I know for a fact this has caused some of the problems, often the developer can't remember precisely so we can't track it back. I would presume this has contributed to quite a few more than I can track ba ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Properties/methods missing

  Looks like I've got a serious problem. Had a near crash of my Acer Ferrari 4000 over the weekend from which I recovered. Didn't notice any problems until today, doing some simple coding and realized that a new label I created was missing some properties. Uninistalled, reinstalled, SP1 installed. For example, label1 (older) Arial, Blue, 10pt. New label: Arial, however I can't adjust the Forecolor or size. Properties don't exist. Go to another label: If the color has been changed, the color property exists, if not, it doesn't. If the size has been changed that property exists. Also, before, all the Methods tended to be full for any object - now all are empty. Anyone have any suggestions Right now I'm planning on a thorough clean - including ...Show All

• SQL Server Divide by Zero

  Hi, In the BI developement, in a matrix i'm trying to avoid division by zero, but even if i test the field before the division, i've got the error everytime.

• Architecture Windows Installer -> How to make patch or upgrade

  Hi to all, I'm reading "The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer" to make upgrade or patch to my app. But all the procedure explained in the book is too much expensive for a programmer, and manual edit ORCA db is not a friendly procedure.

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 Merge Module too bulky

  Hello, I have a windows forms application using .NET 1.1, MSDE, and CR, that I deploy on CD. Now that I've migrated to .NET 2.0 and SQL Server Express, the Crystal Reports merge module (CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm) is now 75MB instead of the 15MB or so. My application won't fit on a single CD. I hate to think that my distribution costs are going to double. Is there any way to create or get a slimmed-down version of the merge module that doesn't contain all the dlls I don't need For example, I only deploy to English, I don't need all the other languages. I've tried using previous versions of the merge modules, but so far no luck. I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks, Do you have a r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Increasing the wait timeout for the VSS2005 Internet Web Service and IDE plug in

  Is there any way to adjust the time out parameters on the server and/or client side when using the Internet provider What's happening is that occassionally the connection between the developer and the server is a very slow one, and the plug in gives up (often at the worst of times), resulting in bindings getting confused. My client has also discovered that the server (Windows 2003) needs to be rebooted about once a week in order to keep the web service speed up. VSS2005 starts running slowly, they reboot the server, it speeds right up. VSS2005 is the only application hosted on the server at the moment. Thanks The timeout Barry talked about is set on the client machine, and affects how long will the client wait to receive the r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Radiobutton and textbox question

  I have couple of radio buttons, and couple of textboxes next to the buttons. So Radiobutton1 next to textbox1, radio 2 to text 2. What happens is that if I click on the radiobutton, I'd like to be able for the cursor to be in the textbox, and if I click on the textbox, the associated radiobutton will be checked. Is there an easier way to do this by grouping or other properties, or do I have to do this by code That's interesting, I have the code, just wondering if there's somekind of form link for it. I use the Select instead of Focus. Private Sub RadioButton1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.Click MaskedTextBox1.Select() ...Show All
