• Visual Studio Grid layout

  I've got another (probably minor) issue. I need to create a grid layout inside a swimlane, e.g. the neurons must be laid out in a grid. Every new model element inside the swimlane should automatically be placed into an empty grid cell and user movements should also be restricted to empty grid cells. Note: The shapes themselves are resizable and all elements in the entire grid line/row should assume the new width/height. I know this is possible, but I can't figure out how. Help would really be appreciated. Michael Ok, I've figured this part out. Nevermind, a couple of Rules and a BoundsRules derived class will likely do the trick. Michael ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multithreading in api calls

  my problem is: i am working on a vb6 code which basically uses a dll written in vc++6 to send some data through socket to a server. as the software is being redesigned to run on web we need to make the data upload part run in a separate thread. the problem is that the api call by the vb passes some parameters to the dll. int __stdcall sendDataFile(char* sfileName, char* sfileNameAs, char* sipAddress, int sport) { //initializing the globalvariables fileName=sfileName; fileNameAs=sfileNameAs; ipAddress=sipAddress; port=sport; AfxBeginThread(sendDataFileWorkerThreadProc,NULL,THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL); return 0; } sendDataFileWorkerThreadProc is the worker procedure the problem is that when accessed from the worker procedure ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Office integration throws Assertion error when we export from TFS

• Smart Device Development serial port multi thread issue

  I have a serial port app that works on a laptop but seems to freeze on the pocketpc. The incoming communication is a constant stream at 9600 baud and it looks like the "comport data received" function doesn't quit even though it is called using "me.invoke".

• Windows Forms "Foreign" msi files in a Setup project

  Hi there: Quick question: my application uses SMO, and I need to install that on the user's machine. I got the download from Microsoft in the form of a .msi file (the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=d09c1d60-a13c-4479-9b91-9e8b9d835cdc&displaylang=en ) . Is there any way for me to incorporate that msi file into my setup project I tried going through the prerequisites (I already have .Net 2.0 and Sql Server Express in there), but it is not dynamic enough to allow that. I could try and package the SMO assemblies one by one (the dlls were already added as dependencies), I'm just not sure how to force them to be installed in the correc ...Show All

• SQL Server Transaction disappears performing updates

  OK, I actually have a solution for this, what I need to know is the why ... I have PowerBuilder code that starts a transaction then calls a stored procedure. That SP performs a bulk update on a table with a trigger. That trigger then loops through the updated rows, and performs individual updates on a second table. It then returns to the PowerBuilder code (with no errors), and I call commit. At this point, I get an error that the commit trans has no corresponding begin trans. (Checking the DB, no records have been updated, so apparently it rolled back the transaction on me). I can call the SP directly in Query Analyzer, and it runs without a problem. The bulk update in question updates about 10000 rows - I've found that if I cut that ...Show All

• Visual C++ Conversion Question

  Hi Folks; I have my WMI program almost completely working now but one thing eludes me. I'm trying to get the processor CurrentClockSpeed and my query gets a value back (I confirmed this with breakpoints).

• Visual Studio Post VS SP1 problems!

  Before SP1 I had terrible editor lag every few seconds taht i attributed to Intellisense... I got rid of intellisense by using the ncb read-only trick so VS can't write to it and turns off IS... after installing SP1 I was hoping this was fixed... but after reenabling IS the problem is still there... every few seconds while typing, VS becomes unresponsive... then picks back up... rediculous and it makes it almoost unusable. It is project specific... i.e. some projects have the problem, others do not. I have tried deleting and letting VS rebuild teh ncb with no success. Anyone else still have this probem Also, after installing SP1 I have two resource problems: 1) A define in my .rc file does not seem to be taking effect in the resource ...Show All
