• Visual Studio Express Editions Users Name Space help

  I always get good advice here so thanks in advance. I am writing a password keeper in vb2005 express as a learning experience.

• Windows Forms GenerateBootstrapper - install a Microsoft hotfix

  Hi; How can I set up GenerateBootstrapper to install 3 specific Microsoft hotfixes - based on if they have Word installed and what version (I assume the hotfix testers handle that in determining if they need to run). The hotfixes are: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/907417 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002 From those install: a) lockbackRegKey.msi b) office2003-kb907417sfxcab-ENU.exe - (Office 2003 only) c) extensibilityMSM.msi How can I get these as part of the bootstrapper thanks - dave AFAIK the bootstrapper can search for ProductCode guids, so you need to do a search for whether these productsd are installed: LockbackRegkey.msi {64F3B15C-24C7-4B2B-9B72-65CCBBD7F06B} Extensibility ...Show All

• Visual C++ MultiByteToWideChar of VC8 went wrong, but VC7 worked.

  Dear all, For example: MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, str, (int)strlen(str)+1, wstr, 1024); Assume "str" is a "bo-po-mo-fo" Chinese phonetic alphabet such as "ㄉ", in VC8, this function always failed; however, it worked fine in VC7. Does any one know how to fix it Thank you very much! Sincerely, Mike The provided code page was CP_UTF8. According to MSDN document (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/intl/unicode_17si.asp): Note: For UTF-8, dwFlags must be set to either 0 or MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS. Otherwise, the function fails with ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS. When I send UTF-8 encoded Chinese character into this function in VC7, it w ...Show All

• SQL Server sql beginner - saving views to a file

  is there anyway to automatically save a view to a file at a scheduled time Thank you for any help or pointing me in the right direction. Yes - just change the results in QA for query results to "Send to File" instead of "Grid" or "Text" Then when you run the query you'll be asked for a file name. I thought you wanted to automate the process. By the way, if this answers you're question, make sure you mark it as "answered" so that others can quickly locate the topic. Thanks! Buck ...Show All

• Visual C# Cannot run startup form

It can't find the form that the code is running in. Thanks. Normally the main form is in the same assembly as the main entry point. If it is then it isn't the form itself. The exception will tell you the name of the file that it can't find. Perhaps your form is referencing a file or component that can't be found. If ...Show All

  Hello, - I've updated ODE.NET2 to work with XNA math. - Bumped it up to the 0.7 version of ODE (ode.org). However, not all functionality has been "wrapped" yet. - No samples yet.

Can't test mesh's yet. - I'm also working on ODE Components for XNA. :P For those wondering, ODE is a physics engine. http://www.pepperboy.net/ vidalsasoon wrote: As for the pure managed ODE...
