• Visual C++ Binary to decimal function in C

  Hi, I am trying to write a function in C that will take a binary number from the user and convert it to its decimal equivalent. I was wondering if there is a way to write this function without converting the input from the user to a string and manipulating it. Is there a way to write this function only using integers. Also is there is a way we can cast a char to an int in C Thanks for the help. Sunny This is pretty basic arithmetic.  You should be be reading the binary number in as a string.  Use basic string access along with the definition of binary numbers (hint: adding powers of two.)  There's a general aversion against using this forum as place to cheat.  You'll be m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I plot a graph (with x and y axis) on my form?

  Hi, how do i plot a graph (with x and y-axis) on my form UGH.... About a week ago, my motherboard died and I've ordered another one. Meanwhile I'm running on a 9/11 vintage motherboard, with 1/2 gig of memory. I think this board just corrupted my C# templates and I can't start a new c# project. Normally that wouldn't be a problem because I could uninstall c# and reinstall it and everything would be fine....except my DVD drives are SATA and SATA wasn't around when this motherboard was made, so I have no DVD drives. What I do have is a working copy of this in VB..... If that would do any good and the architecture of this sure can be adated to real time. ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Book Recommendations

  This sticky here will be used for people to post their C# book recommendations. It will help us keep the forum a bit cleaner than making several topics about book recommendations and also helps everything to be in 1 "spot" and alot of people can see the book recommendations that you have given everyone else in this topic. So please, feel free to post your book recommendations here for developing in C#! :-) If possible, include any links where the person would be able to obtain the book from, and it's ISBN number which would be a big help to everyone! IMHO the *best* book on Windows Forms Programming in C# is: Windows Forms 2.0 Programming by Chris Sells and Michael Weinhardt (ISBN 0-321-26796-6). This covers all aspects of Wind ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) mismatched dll versions (june ctp)

  Hi, Since installing the most recent ctp, I get an exception on my old projects. Message="Mismatched versions of PresentationCore.dll, Milcore.dll, WindowsCodecs.dll, or D3d9.dll. Check that these DLLs come from the same source." I can create new applications without a problem, so it's definitly something in my old project. Obviously, I've checked all references in the project, they are set to not copy and point to: C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0 The version of all dll's (including presentationCore ): 3.0.6507.0 (vbl_wcp_avalon.060607-1054) Public key tokens of all the dll's is: PublicKeyToken =" 31bf3856ad364e35 " I've looked at the gac, and it seems to be okay.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I

  Hi, How do I get a form that I have designed to do the following: Take the data from 5 seperate input boxes (5 seperate text boxes used for input) and output the largest and smallest number to seperate output boxes (2 seperate labels used for output). If the user inputs a number in each box for example 25, 15, 75, 45 and 67 and then clicks my button "Find" I want the largest number to go in the largest output label and I want the smallest of them to go in the smallest output label. How do I code my button to take these 5 input numbers regardless of their order and output only the largest and the smallest of the group of numbers I hope someone understands what I am asking. Thanks, DC First of all, the p ...Show All

• Community Chat SaveProjectAs

  Ok...After hearing some complaints on this these boards about not having a "Project Save As" that saves the entire project to a new destination and name...I created this addin for VS05 that does just that. The addin creates a 'Save Project As' menu item off of the file menu and allows the user to select a VB or C# project file and then select a new destination directory and a new name for the project. All standard dialogs used. you can download the xcopy deployment files from: http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/SaveProjectAs The zip file contains two files: SaveProjectAs.AddIn and SaveProjectAs.dll and all you have to do to get it to work is to unzip the files into your addin directory...

• 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. C++ generates native code, C++/CLI generates managed code. Whatever it is, you can not develop for devices with Express. C++/CLI is not supported by NETCF at all, native C++ is supported on devices by VS 2005 SE or above. To sum up, you can develop for devices with native C++, C# of VB.Net using VS 2005 SE or above, E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cannot open VSTO 2005 projects in VSTO 2005 SE

  When I try to open my VSTO 2005 projects in SE, I get the following error: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP1 or newer is not installed on this computer. You must install a version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 that supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System projects. I have Office 2007 B2TR installed so have no clue what is going on. Thoughts I understand the loss of design time. I do not care about that loss (until the next project that needs this <g>). I do think some kind of upgrade process should be available and optional for developers. Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foudation Server Scheduled Backup + Disaster Recovery Scenarios

  Hi, We have Team Foundation Server installed in our premises. We arranged with all the people working on TFS to make sure that their connection to TFS is closed before they leave work, so that to enable our SQL Server Full Backup Schedule to work correctly at around 03:00 AM. Our questions are: 1. Do we have to back up the Reporting Services Encryption Key every night as well Or we do that only once in a life time 2. Is there anything else to backing up TFS - in order to gurantee successfull recovery in the case of a hardware crash - other than backing up TFS databases and RPT Service Enc. Key 3. Can we still reuse the files that exist in users' worksapces in the case of a TFS crash I mean after we recover/restore TFS , ...Show All

• Visual Basic Copy To Toolbox

  Hi, When copying code (Ctrl+C), the text entries go to the toolbox. The entries go under the tab that I last clicked. There is no apparent limit to the number of entries (I stopped counting after the first hundred). When I try to reset the toolbox, the IDE crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I even tried removing manually ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/907965 ). I use Norton Ghost for backups. I restored from an image made before the original installation, reinstalled, and still having the same problems. I am using VS 2005 Pro with SP1 applied. Any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .ToString

  Hi everyone, I used the following code and got a problem: double Q = 38.5367; label19.Text = Q.ToString("0.00 x 10^-6 m^3/s"); the zero at the "x 1 0 ^-6 m^3/s" will display the third decimal place of Q. It is possible to let it display zero Thanks. Hi, Do you want output 38.54 x 10^-6 m^3/s format of Q Try this way: label19.Text = Q.ToString("0.00")+" x 10^-6 m^3/s"; Cause every zero in the ToString method is regarded as valid digit of the number. ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows Service with Timer ?

  Hi I tried to use timer with windows service but it seems that Timer is disposed after some time. So another achiving the same would be using while(true) thread. sleep(x) but where to put Thread.Sleep If I will put in the OnStart and Sleep is like one hour it will never start actually. So what's the best choice Jarod The on_start event should create an instance of a class inside your class you have the code that waits for one hour. You can do this using a System.Timers.Timer. This way your service starts and then waits. Mark. ...Show All
