Visual Studio Express Editions downloading visual studio express
I am attempting to download the img version of the complete visual studio package (c++, c#, vb etc). i need to download approx 450mbytes for each language. i think that this is because each package includes the msdn documentation and the net frameworks. these files are probably identical in each case. is it possible to download the individual img files without these files (so each download will be approx 80 mbytes instead of 450mbyte). And only download the full package once. Thanks Thanks to Weston and Andreas for your quick replies. I have quickly looked at the downloaded images files for c#, c++, vb, and the web development packages. I notice that each of these packages contains a fo ...Show All

Smart Device Development Visual C++ Express for WIn CE?
I started to learn VC++ Express, and assumed that since it generats managed code for FORM applications, I could just copy the working app. to my CE mobile, but it is not working. What do I have to do in order to have the portabilty (same manged code runs on mobile or desktop), or, if this is impossible , what do I need to do in order to have a working app. on my mobile Thanks. Hi Manav, Thanks, but somthing I don't understand. It is true that VC++ Exprs is genarating native code, but it does so only for consul applications(projects) or if you start with an empty project. If you start a windows form project, it genarates managed code (even though it is a C++ compiler) this is a fact. I even tra ...Show All

Visual C++ debug through functions linked by dllImport attribute
Hi guys, I wanted to know if there is any way to keep debuging a funtion linked using DllImport in a c# class ! I mean going from C# to native c++ dll and debuging the DllImported functions ... Thanks I guess it should enter native function, if there is debugging information and debugging mode is set to mixed (managed + native). Set this in C# project properties. If this doesn't work, open native Dll project, set breakpoint, and start debugging. Set C# client as executable for debugging session. ...Show All

Hi, I have a problem with using delegates with pinvoke. I have a delegate for a reporting function that is required for the lifetime of the application. The callback works for the first time and after that if the dll reports any error I get an access violation exception. This is because the delegates gets collected. Any suggestions on how to avoid this error Thanks! Could you supply some sample code As long as your delegate doesn't go out of scope while it's expected to be required and you've pinned it you shouldn't have a problem.

.NET Development .NET Framework 2 to 1.1
I know this question is asked alot but still... My boss just asked me if i could move our .net Application from .net 2.0 to 1.1 because of most users dont have 2.0 ( cant see the reason why microsoft just didnt include 2.0 in autoupdate but well ). anyway... the application is made in VS2005 with as base language C#. I doupt bringing the application from VS2005 to VS2003 would really be a usefull solution, because we use new c# keyparts like partial classes and attributes. So.... is there any way to use .net 1.1 in VS2005 thanks already! -Koen in the auto updater it won't be included as .NET is an optional component, not a required security patch. the same goes for things like WMP, t ...Show All
