• Visual C++ __declspec(dllexport) required on function declaration in dll source code?

  With the help of one of the people that posts messages on this website, I was able to get a C++ DLL to work with a VB 6.0 calling program.  The function definition in the .cpp file has the __stdcall decoration on the function name, but it doesn't have the __declspec(dllexport) decoration on it.  It seems to be working fine without it, but is it required for some reason   If so what would that reason be   Does the compiler put it in automatically when you compile it, or is it really required at all   George extern "C" only prevents exporting the symbol using the C++ mangled name. It does not prevent decorating the name accodring to the stdcall convention. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Task Output with Condition

  Hi all My issue's around the output element, batching, and conditions: I have an ItemList of all my test assemblies [@(TestAssembliesUT)]. In order to run all tests with NUnit, I use an NUnit task implemented in a ToolTask subclass. That means I can get the exit code into a property using the output element. Since I want NUnit executed separately for each assembly, I use %(TestAssembliesUT.Identity) as input parameter for the task. Since I do not want MSBuild to cancel when a test fails, I use ContinueOnError="true" Since I want MSBuild to report a failure when tests fail, I would want to know wether at least one exit code was not 0. Excerpt from my tasks file: <NUnit ContinueOnError="true" Assemblies="%(TestA ...Show All

• .NET Development Multiple Logs Problem

  I have a below Issue in a C# Desktop Application...... Person A is logged onto machine 1 with the user ID and password assigned to person A. However, Person B is able to use Person A's user ID and password to log into machine 2 at the same time. Therefore, Person A's user ID is logged into two machines at the same time. This is a security issue with the same user ID's logging in at the same time on multiple machines. How to avoid this........... I think in a way...... When the user A logs on, you can make a note of it in the database. Then when user A is tried to be logged on from another location you can check the database to see if they are being used anywhere else. When the user logsout you will have to make sure to clear th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Vista Text On Glass

  Hi, I am trying to make the glass margin on the bottom of a form be larger than on the rest of the form so I can have a glass status bar. It's worked so far, I have the text drawn but when the form moves partially off the screen, the text gets cut off. If i put the code to render the text in the form_paint procedure, evey time the form moves partially off screen, the text gets bolder and bolder, because it gets painted over. The only way I have found to delete the text and write it again, is to refresh() the form, which makes the app slow / flicker. What I'm basically asking is this: is there anyway to delete the text and draw the text again <b>without</b> refreshing the form here is my code: GraphicsPath fontpath; Graphics ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista which forum?

  Which forum should I have used Beginning to think Microsoft tech support is worse than Dells,and that bad.Apple is starting to look better all the time. Rodney, Your post was asking about Windows Genuine Advantage, or Windows registration. If you go to the "MSDN Forums" link that shows in the above list (far left), it will bring you to the following site: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx SiteID=1 From there, there is a forum marked: "Where Is the Forum For...

• Visual Basic Comparing a variable to a combo box in visual studio 2005

  Hello, I filled out a combo with a datatable and now I want to compare a value of a variable to see if it matches with any item in my combo and then place the first item of the combo to be the one that match. I've tried selecteditem, selectedtext, datarowview, findstring. With the first two options the problem is that I haven't chosen anything yet.

• Commerce Server User login programmatically …

  I’m new to Commerce Server and was tasked with the job of integrating our existing "user" database with the "user profile" database for the store site that we are developing using CS2007.  I wanted to know if it's possible to programmatically login an existing user. The basic scenario is the following: The user logs in and is authenticated against our "user" database.  At this point, I must check the "user profile" database.  If the user exists in this database, I need to programmatically log this user into the store site.  If the user does not exist in this table, I need to create the user profile using the whatever data we have on hand from the "user" database and then log the user in.

• SQL Server Calling an SSIS package from a Service Broker Queue

  Posted the same message to the Service Broker forum. But the board is neither responsive nor active. So I am trying this forum. Hope someone can help. I would like to call an SSIS package from a Service Broker Queue. There is one way that I am aware of - Using xp_cmdshell from within an activation stored procedure and using DTEXEC. Is there a more elegant way of executing an SSIS package from within SSB Also, I am not interested in writing a .NET external activator to process my messages in the queue. I would like this operation to be strictly database oriented. Having said this, I am also trying to avoid triggers processing the messages in the queue. Thank you! ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installer for Pocket PC WM 5.0

  Is there a difference in the way you create a setup for Pocket PC WM 5.0 I know that in a regular Windows application, you create a setup and deployment project in your current solution and then you build the setup project which creates the installer. What about for Pocket PC, what steps are required to do so I know that when you want to install a program to your pocket pc, you run the installer from a regular machine and then the installer looks to see if you have a Pocket PC connected through ActiveSync.
