• Visual C++ lnk2019 with PathAppend and PathCombine

  I hate to ask another "LNK2019" question, but this one has me stumped. As you may expect from the subject, I'm getting an LNK2019 error with PathAppend and PathCombine. Here is the error output (I removed the parameters from the function calls because they are extremely long and, I suspect, useless information): 1>WindowsMounter.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PathCombineA@12 referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall uruz::WindowsMounter::run(...) 1>WindowsMounter.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PathAppendA@8 referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall uruz::WindowsMounter::run(...) 1>C:\Uruz\UruzEngine\Test\Utility.exe : ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Persistence Services and DTC

  I'm using a TransactionScope Activity that required me to add a Persistence Service to the runtime ( I understand this) However, when I add the SqlPersistence Service to my runtime, I started getting DTC errors. I'm running a WCF Service hitting the SqlPersistence DB on my local machine accessing data on a separate SQL Server box. Is it a requirement to have DTC enabled on my local machine and the SQL server Is this strictly because I don't have the my local SQL server and the network SQL Server linked Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi, Both the persistence and whatever is done in the TransactionScopeActivity are done in the same transaction. Because they go to separate databases, even servers in this case, the transaction ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio project templates are missing

  Hi! My Visual Studio 2005 project templates have disappeared. I've already tried to run "msdev /installvstemplates", but they didn't appear. Any other suggestions TIA It was long time ago, but it should never be too late : Notice that all your project templates and item templates ( located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates and in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemsTemplates ) are zip files located under a subdir for the kind of item or project and then under a subdir for the language specification (1033 for English). .NET 3.0 are not put in those 1033 folders by default, just move them into th ...Show All

• SQL Server A more consistant Web Report Viewer?

  Is there another way of displaying reports online that will show the data exactly as it wil be printed A number of things have been causing me problems, such as the fact that the pagination controls do not show the same number of pages that actualy get printed.

• SQL Server Transaction question

  I need to select items in Table1 whose column2 value is not 'Processed'. I use the following code to get this working. BEGIN TRAN INSERT INTO @Temp Select Column1 from Table1 WHERE Column2 <> 'Processed' UPDATE table1 SET Column2 = 'Processed' FROM table1 T1 JOIN @Temp Tmp on T1.Column1 = Tmp.Column1 SELECT Column1 FROM @Temp END TRAN Since the default transaction level is read commited, two queries to sproc returns identical results. If I change the transaction level to Repeatable read, this works fine, but the performance degrades. Is there any other alternative which is better than this approach Thanks Pravin As far as I know the TOP statement is supp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Combobox databinding -- almost there!

  Hi I have a table similar to this: Type Name 1 Bob 2 Claire 3 Peter Type is the primary key. On a form I have a combo box that I want the user to pick a name. The value stored though needs to be the primary key, here's my question: In access you can create combo boxes that display both columns within a combo but when an item is selected it stores the first column only. How do I replicate this using Visual Basic 2005 - how do you guys do this If I populate the combo with the primary key only, it's difficult to use since the user doesn't know which [Name] belongs to which [type].

• Visual C# Hide Console Window in C# Console Application

  Hi, How can I hide the console window in my Console Application project What worked for me was - Create a Windows Application in Visual Studio. Inside of the Program.cs instead of running a windows application/Form - instead just instantiate your class there. Normally after creating a Windows Application in VS your main method in the Program.cs file will look something like this: Application .EnableVisualStyles(); Application .SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault( false ); Application .Run( new Form1()); I comment out that and in its place I put my class that I want to instantiate and run - like this: //Application.EnableVisualStyles(); //Application.S ...Show All
