• Visual C++ Templates overloades and specializations

  I want to create a function that returns the absolute value of a number. This number could be real (int, double, etc) or complex (of real, double, etc).

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems incorporating WorkflowCommitWorkBatchService

  Hi I'm currently building a state machine workflow with the OOB web service activities.  I'm using the OOB persistence service and i'm also saving information into a custom data model.  To ensure the consistency between the workflow state and the custom data model I am following the work batch approach.  This works fine however I have the following problem with this arrangement. The problem is that I want to let the client using the web service know if there were any problems commiting the work, ie: I want to give them back a soap exception indicating any failure.  Is this possible using these standard activities and services Just as an example of the problem, I found this problem when I moved my source to a ne ...Show All

• Windows Forms [c# .net 2] Exporting data from dataGridView

  Evening. I have an unbound dataGridView which I'm populating programatically (not using a dataset) from xml/user entered data. What i now need to do is when the user clicks save i want it to write all data from the dataGridView to an xml file. I think the only/best ( ) way to do this is to iterate through each row/cell and write the xml file manually. Problem is, I just cant seem to do the forloop right. Can someone help me out Thanks. Michael It's up to you to decide your xml schema. The only reason i used column name is that when you want to load the xml back lateron, it's easier to map the values back to the columns. Otherwise you have to use your own code to map your element name back to column name. A ...Show All

• SQL Server Silent install new SQL Express instance via MSI

  I'm currently building an MSI to install SQL Express and want to install as a new instance, not the default instance, and not into the SQLEXPRESS instance either. I saw the package.xml for Express in my VS Studio install. How would I go about using this Or would I have to modify the MSI via Orca or something I hope not. Wouldn't have a clue where to start. In short, regardless if there is already an SQL Express instance on the machine or not, I need to silently install a fresh new instance of the server engine only, no client tools except sqlcmd.exe I have seen that MS would advise that everyone use the SQLEXPRESS instance but I don't agree with it. I don't want other application installs trampling over my server settings and I do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploying Across Domains

  A common scenario is to keep qa/production boxes out of the development domain.  I set up my TeamBuild service to run under a local user account and set up the same local username/password account on the boxes I need to touch as part of the deployment (TFS, QA and Prod box).  My build process copies the compiled files over and creates the virtual directory appropriately using the Web Deployment Project's dll -- specifically the CreateVirtualDirectory task.  However, my CreateVirtualDirectory task (not my copy operation) is failing in the situation where I'm using this local user account strategy between two boxes not in the same domain.  Is it something the CreateVirtualDirectory task is not doing; I'm not doing;& ...Show All

• Visual C++ Hashtable in C++

  Hi, I need to use a hashtable in C++. Apparently there isn't one, so I tried to use the hashtable in the System.Collections. After enabling the /clr in the solution explorer I can use a hashtable within functions, but not globably, which is my need. If i try to declare the hastable globaly it gives me this error: Error 1 error C3145: 'hs' : global or static variable may not have managed type 'System::Collections::Hashtable' Anyone know a way around this or of a different hashtable class that I can use There's also unordered_map which is what will likely be in the standard. There's an implementation in Boost which seemed to work quite nicely for me (apart from some pretty obvious ODR violation ...Show All
