• Visual C++ More C# -> C++/CLI issues w/generics

  Does anyone know if there is a C++/CLI equivalent to the C# 'default' keyword when it is used to produce the default value for a generic type Below is a hack I came up with, which I do not consider to be the least bit elegant, and was wondering if there is something I'm missing or if someone knows of a better solution. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// /// the gc_default() macro can be used like C#'s default() /// Perhaps this syntactical sugar may be a bit much, as it /// may emit a distinct type for each generic param. #define gc_default(T) __gc_default<T>::__value ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// generic<typename V> public ref struct __gc_default { public ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Modified Date\Time

  I am having a local DateTime issue with Team Source control.  When I get latest of changed files or get files for the first time, the local Date/Time of the file is the Date/Time that the file was downloaded. In Visual Source Safe it was a simple option to specify how the local Date/Time for a file should be determined. This isnt such a big deal for local dev machines, but its a huge deal when we start talking about Build Machines. I work on a huge public website and our pre-TFS build process would only copy files to QA that had been modified.  Then from QA we would go to staging and then to production. The files that get moved from server to server were only changed files. If I deploy(copy) the site to QA, every file is r ...Show All

• Visual Basic key pressed, when form is minimized

  hi, i'm making a project where i can logoff when i press the F5 button. Private Sub Form1_KeyDown( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me .KeyDown if e.keycode = keys.F5 then logoff() 'this code is irrelevant end if end sub As you see, this code only works when the form is enabled and visible.

• Windows Forms forms designer failure

  Hi, while working on a rather complex VS 2005 VB Winforms application, it suddenly happened that I could not display the designer view of any form. The errorr message I get is : Failed to parse the following code: Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again. On the other hand, if I import the forms in a new solution/project, they show up all right. Any explanation Since the project is an upgrade from VB6 with plenty of errors in the code, it cannot be built. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create custom Datagridview ListBox (Multi Row) control

  Hi all, I would like to create the datagridview listbox control. My requirement is that I want multi rows in single cell. So I think I should use Listbox control for that reason. I don't need any editing experiences for that control. I just need to bind it to datasource and display. That's all I want. So I want to know the simplest way. I want to show all the data at once. It means, if I have three rows in one listbox control, for example, "aaa","bbb","ccc". I want to show all. I mean I want to set the Height of that control equal to height of number of rows.  I've already seen the two examples, Up Down numeric and radio button control. But they are more complicated than I need  and different, I think, to my control. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Add-In -> Works = My Computer, Doesn't work on others

  I made an add in for Outlook. After adding a custom install class that I found there: http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427490.aspx It finally worked on my computer when I used the msi to install it (it wasn't working without that class) but now, I tried to deploy it on other computers (Co-Workers machines at the moment), it doesn't work and their configuration doesn't seem to be different than mine and they have the requirements I found here http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427504.aspx  under Prerequisites (The CSA should be dealt with by the custom install class). What's weird is that if I install it via a shared folder, all seems to have been installed fine if I look under tools/option ...Show All

• Windows Forms WYSIWYG Web Editor

  Hi All I'm looking to create an application which enables the user to create PHP/MySQL (and eventually ASP/MSSQL) driven websites with just a few simple steps. Part of the application will obviously be some kind of WYSIWYG Editor for the look and feel of the website. I know there are already quite a few open-source HTML editors out there, but I need to customise this quite a bit, and I also feel it would be a good exercise for me to improve my programming skills if I program it myself. What I need is someone to tell me roughly how to start off and what steps to take. I'm not asking for detailed descriptions of every little step (and I'm sure most of you out there don't have the time to give them). I'm assuming to write the c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA and physics?

  Hi, I'm curious about the XNA Framework, but at this point it seems like there is very little written about what exactly is included in the framework. Will XNA ship with a physics module How about the content pipeline Collada 1.4 Is XNA more than a c# wrapper for DirectX Regards Johan They seem to be pretty tight liped about the features that will come with with XNA, when XNA was announced at GDC they talked about it having managed code for things like physics and "other" things that take away from programming the game. I wish some video came out of Gamefest, sounds like they did some demos of XNA and the beta has to be 99% ready to give it a release date. Maybe on10.net or so ...Show All

• SQL Server SharePoint Server 2007 Integration with Reporting Service 2005

  Hi, I am working on sharepoint 2007 integration with reporting service 2005. There are few facts which i am trying to understand and need some clarifications. Please provide your comments 1) While configuring "Database setup" in Repoting Service Configuring Manager" i found two modes 1) Native and 2) SharePoint Integration. When creating a report server database if we check "Create the report server database in Sharepoint Integration Mode" then it set the mode to "SharePoint Integration Mode". There is no option of switching the same database to native mode. So i have to create another database in "Native Mode". (IS THIS CORRECT.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SetData and GetData for Texture2D

  I'm new to Textures and game programming in general. From what i've gathered Texture2D:SetData is used to assign pixel information to a texture (could be wrong <shrug>). Most of my knowledge about textures is from:   http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/migration/#_Graphics_Resources where it shows creation of a Texture2D. // Create a 256x256 image in memory. uint[] imageData = new uint[256 * 256]; // At this point, fill the array with data.... // Fill the texture with the image data. Texture2D tex = new Texture2D( device, 256, 256, 1, ResourceUsage.None,    SurfaceFormat.Color, ResourcePool.Managed ); tex.SetData<uint>( imageData );   I think i understand whats happening but my questi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Calling vc++ dll in exe(vc++)

Thanks in advance. Regards Sravan First off, you should consider getting a good book. The following thread in the VC++ General forum may be of help to that: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=107484&SiteID=1 . To be able to call functions in dll's, you will have to export them. This can be done either through explicit declaration, __declspec(dllexport)) , or through .def-files. The application which will be calling the functions, needs to either import them through an import library (.lib), or manually ge ...Show All
