• Visual C++ Presenting a C++ library (.lib) for use in C# project

  I have a collection of C++ programs and the C++ libraries they use. The libraries currently compile to a .lib format. Changing the project property to use a .dll results in multiple reference errors. Without having to go through the entire collection of source files, is there a way to create any kind of project in a .NET language that would provide a "wrapper" for the existing .lib files so that they could be used in that environment. Thanks. Brian, Tactically, adding a question to an already answered thread (like this one) reduces the number of people likely to see your question. Some people use the 'unanswered' links to skim through new questions that haven't been marked as answered, those people won't even see your qu ...Show All

• SQL Server Payment Tables - Design Best Practice

  I'm creating a payments table to be ledger style but don't know which design to implement. Design 1 TranID TranSubId Status 1 1 Cancelled 1 2 Live 2 1 Live Then have a compound key across tranId and tranSubId. This would be quick for look ups but when I have to enter a new record I have to find the max(transubid) + 1 for the transaction I want to insert (if it already exists) Design 2 Id TranId Status 1 1 Cancelled 2 1 Live 3 2 Live Id would be the PK and an autoidentity field making inserts much easier. Perhaps making ID nonclustered PK and TranId clustered would be better than the other way round Which of these would ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problems connecting C++ and VBA using a DLL

  Hi! I have created a Win32 DLL project to connect a few functions written in C++ with excel through VBA. Everything works perfectly well in the computer where I have Visual C++ 2005 installed, and I can use the C++ function via the DLL with no problem, nevertheless when I try to use it in another computer where Visual C++ is not installed, the DLL does not work and it seems as if Visual Basic didn't find it... Can anyone give a hint on this Thanks in advance   Mike Danes wrote: You must install this on the computer without VC++ installed http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&DisplayLang=en It is not necessary to ...Show All

• SQL Server Need help in starting out

  Hi Everyone: I am just starting out on SSIS, and have the following business challenge that I would like to solve utilizing SSIS. There are two SQL Server data stores, one would be the source, and other would be the destination. I need to grab some data from store 1, and insert that data into store 2. Here are my questions: 1) Before i move the data to store 2, i have to check some criterias by callin some sps, and then the end result would need to be inserted into the destination database. Can anyone tell me how would i setup the control flow, to accomodate that in SSIS 2) Can someone email me a sample package that does something similar I just need a starting point so i can build the design of my package.

• Visual C++ Why is base class destructor unresolved in Release mode (VS2005)

  Abstract base class, Foo, exists in library F Derived class (from Foo), Bar, exists in library B Module M uses Bar (but never Foo directly). Linking M to B satisfies all external references in Debug mode. In Release mode, however, linking of M complains that the reference to Foo’s destructor is unresolved. This seems inconvenient. It is caused by optimization because if you disable the optimization on M, there is no link problem. Can this behavior be justified Does anyone understand what sort of optimization is happening that causes this behavior Is there a way around this other than either disabling optimization or linking M to F (also setting M’s C++ Properties/Optimization/Whole Program Optimizat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I do simple Telnet actions?

  What I would like to do (would be a dream, actually) is to create a little program that would check my current IP from time to time, and if the IP goes out of the 201.47.###.### range (due to my IP being dinamic), it would restart the modem as many times as needed to get an IP that would be in that range. I know the codes to reboot my modem through telnet are only these: telnet 192.168.1.1 **** (user) **** (pass) reboot Now I need to create a program that would check if my IP is in the range I want, and if not, it would run those 4 lines above, I just don't know how to input those simple telnet commands in VB . I've searched throughout the forums and Google and only managed to find large codes of stuff that wouldn't work and I wouldn't ...Show All

• .NET Development I have a 32 bit vb.net service running on 64bit..

  Hi, I have a service that get installed and runs fine on both 32 and 64 bit. This service listens for incoming messages coming from another client software that is installed on a terminal server.. The client is able to connect to the remote host server and communicate with the 32 bit service... But when I try to connect to the 64 bit server to communicate with the service it does not work.

• Visual Studio Express Editions SerialPort_DataReceived to RichTextBox control in VB2005

  Hi I have been having a difficult time finding the proper way to pass string data that arrived thru the serial port by way of the DataReceived event , to a RichTextBox control on the main form. Moving from VB6 to VB2005 without using the automatic conversion helpers, has been more difficult that i hoped. I have examined lots of newsgroup posts, looked at posted example code and still I am having trouble. Some examples work, but appear to be automatically converted VB6 apps with Definstance properties and other items. I would rather understand the proper way to implement this starting from scratch ,using the form designer and the SerialPort control dragged to a form. I have tried BeginInvoke and Delegate's and used various com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to view all file changes under a directory?

  I want to get the list of files changed under a directory hierarchy (not the changesets), I don't care about the other files changed outside of the directory hierarchy I want to look at (that would just be noise). Is there a way to get this information without digging into every changeset Thanks, This is a key way we find files that have changed in VSS. People what to see what changed under a particular area of code and are less interested in the other areas so the changeset files not in that hierarchy are noise. I think this one needs to get in soon, it's a natural workflow people have come to expect. ...Show All

• SQL Server Advantages of using nonclustered index after using clustered index on one table

  Hi everyone, When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it Thanks see more info on the other post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=522859&SiteID=1 creation of Clustered index must happen first because if NCIs are created first. The creation of a clustered index later will force the recreation of all the NCIs to force it to use CI's rather than RID as loca ...Show All
