• Visual C++ How do I include CInternetSession?

  CInternetSession requires the "afxwin.h" header file to be included. If i put #include "afxwin.h" at the beginning of my program i get an error message saying that "afxwin.h" doesn't exist. If I do not type this it can't find any of the CInternetSession functions. What do I need to include/do in order to use CInternetSession As Viorel indicates, CInternetSession is an MFC class. You should create a project for your MFC application. In other words, begin your project by creating a starter application that uses MFC. Then you will have details such as an #include for afxwin.h done for you. Unless you have the Express Edition. If you do, then you should ask in the forum for i ...Show All

• SQL Server User securables

  I use Win XP version 2002, SP2 and SSE version 9.00.2047.00 I create a database user and I add the securable objects (ex selected tables) to securables section of user properties. I press ok. When I re-open the user properties the securable objects are not there. They are not displayed..! Any suggestions Well, I can tell you that they indicated it would be part of the next update, to SQL Server, however, for the time being you have to manually re-select the objects to view in your window, then when selected it will display the current security... The information given to me at the time was related to performance, but to me it still seems like unreasonable behaviour. ...Show All

  In a Web service Store.GetWorkItem(id) is called and some changes are made to the work item. At the same time the work item is being modified and saved by a user. What is happening when the Web service then tries to save the work item that is no longer up-to-date (Is an Exception thrown ). What if Store.BatchSave(..) is called to save a collection of work items and some of them is not up-to-date In addition I have a question regarding performance and the creation of TeamFoundationServer and WorkItemStore objects from a Web service. Should the two objects be created each time the web service is called or stored as static members that is created once Yes, an exception is thrown when saving a workitem if ...Show All

• .NET Development There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table that match the referencing column list in the foreign key

  Hello, i am facing problem creating a database with tables which have contraints. I receive the error: "There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table [SomeTableName] that match the referencing column list in the foreign key [SomeForeignKeyName]" I realize that the column list in the [SomeTableName] table must be unique for foreign key constraints. But i am not trying to create any constraints! [SomeForeignKeyName] foreign key is a "Relation Only" relation for easy mapping. I cannot put the unique constraint on my column list because it cannot be unique! (besides, eventhough I make it unique it for debugging purposes, i still get the same error!) here is info about the table structure: Table 1 : Column 1 (Primary Key), Colu ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS: single SELECT from 2 databases possible?

  Just wondering, in DTS, can I run a SELECT script that selects from 2 different databases (both on the same server) I can run this in Sql Query Analyzer, but in a DTS, it doesnt accept my database name prefixes: SELECT a.something FROM DB_ONE.dbo.product a, DB_ONE.dbo.mp_brand b, DB_TWO.dbo.lk_pcat_cutover c WHERE a.PCat <> c.Pcat (where DB_ONE and DB_TWO are the 2 different db names) I have one connection to DB_ONE... does this mean I cant access DB_TWO when using this connection I want to try and avoid using a temporay table for storing DB_TWO's data in DB_ONE...

• Visual C++ cli; a namespace with this name does not exist

  In an attempt to get a pin_ptr working, I added the "using namespace cli" to my namespaces, but the compiler returns the error "error C2871: 'cli' : a namespace with this name does not exist" I did several searches on MSDN and only found one possible problem; that my compile command did not have /clr in it. I looked in the property pages of my program, and saw that Use Managed Extensions was set to Yes, so I thought that covered it. I don't see how it would help to show my code, as the compiler doesn't even get past the namespaces. However, I can give other information if necessary.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Calculating normals for large mesh with no vertex to triangle info

  I have a mesh of 100.000 triangles where I need to calculate the normals for the vertices. The datastructure, I am using, does not point from vertices to triangles, but only the other way arround. I therefore defined my vertex normals as the sum of the triangles using them, weighted by the triangles size. I simply set all vertex normals to zero and then run through my triangles (when running through them anyway for some other task) and add a triangles normal (weighted) to the vertices it uses. The I run through all vertices and normalize the normals. This is suposed to give me a valid normal for the vertices. I am not much liking waht i see though. The entire terrain is filled with little pyramids. Light ones and dark ones. When I ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hello World from WPF in C#

  Once again, as I begin to teach myself a new technology, I can't even get "Hello World" to compile. The compiler (VS 2005) can't even see the Main() function. I am learning from Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths Oreily book "Windows Presentation Foundation" but it looks like things have changed so much since then (Sept 2005) that the book examples simply do not work. Regardless of what the book reviews say, Oreily's errata page is not up to date.
