Visual C++ hangman project
Hello, I'm somewhat new to C++. I am taking a class on it in college, but the teacher doesnt like to explain things very well. Basically her idea of helping us learn C++ is this: "this is how you start all your programs in this class: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { } " She never explainted even what "#include <iostream>" or "using namespace std;" ment. So, this brings us to my question. I'm trying to write a c++ program *for a project in class* that is a hang man game. The hangman is stored in a character array. The user is able to input a word into a 25 character array "char word[25];". There are a couple of things I need to do. the first thing is, I need to know h ...Show All
Visual C# How do I access a class from a different project, but the SAME solution ?
hey, I have a solution in which I made 2 projects, one is a windows service, and one is a windows application... they were originally made separate, but I added the win service to the solution of the windows app. so now I have 2 projects inside a single solution. I really need to access some variables in the windows service, and pass them over to the windows app, how would I do this I made a public static class in the windows service and I put the variables and values I want in that class, but how do I access them from the windows app I cant just type in the namespace of the win service in the windows app name because it doesnt see it in the intellisense, and tells me I am missing a reference.... am I missing a step any ...Show All
SQL Server Custom Annotations on SRS 2000 charts
I would like to be able to put custom annotations on charts. Specifically I have a line chart I want to annotate. I don't want to indicate all plot points, just areas of interest. For example, on one of our line charts there is a value for a week (weeks are the x-Axis) that is way out of whack with other weeks. I would like to be able to display only that value, circle that location on the chart and create a custom note so that when the report displays, all users can see it. All I've been able to find that I can customize on SRS line charts is to add all plot points and be able to change their shape and color and font size. I want to be able to do way more than that with annotations. Is it possible I have .NET programming abilities so ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Same message contract in multiple operations - consuming service WSDL ASMX-style
I have a WCF service exposed using basicHttpBinding (tool: WSSF) that needs to be consumed by a Flex client, and there seems to be a problem with the generated WSDL. I made a test app myself and used "add web reference" to diagnose the error. The error show up at run-time when calling the web-service: System.InvalidOperationException: Method ProjectDocumentServices.GetDocumentRequirement can not be reflected. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The XML element ' KeyCriteriaMessage ' from namespace 'http://DNVS.DNVX.eApproval.ServiceContracts/2006/11' references a method and a type.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Weird lightning on custom mesh
Hello everyone, I've been playing around with XNA for a while now, and I can't seem to get the lightning right on a mesh i'm dynamically creating. I've created a simple GameComponent that initializes a VertexBuffer and an IndexBuffer in the LoadGraphicsContent method. The Draw method uses a BasicEffect (with default lightning enabled) to draw the vertices using the TriangleList primitive. I've used the DrawIndexedPrimitives method for this. The lightning on the mesh is totally wrong, i've uploaded a screenshot at the following location to see the effect here: http://www.fegelein.com/projects/xna_fegelein/WeirdLightningTorus.png Also, you can download the complete sourcecode here: http://www.fegelein.com/projects/xna_fege ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Unsupported media state while drive becoming ready
I have consistently seen IDiscFormat2Data::get_CurrentMediaStatus return a state of IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA after I insert a blank recordable disc, after the drive becomes ready. There seems to be a transient state that exists immediately after the drive becomes ready. Prior to this state, while the drive is becoming ready, the get_CurrentMediaStatus method correctly returns an HRESULT of E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BECOMING_READY; then, immediately after becoming ready, it returns S_OK but reports a media state of unsupported. If you call it subsequently, it will return S_OK and correctly report the state as IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE_BLANK. It appears that this proble ...Show All

SQL Server Import Data in SQL Server 2005?
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, and trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a new table. I'm used to doing this through Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000, but I'm not sure how to do it in the new interface. Is there a way to do a simple data import without also installing Business Intelligence Development Studio hi, nope.. all this "stuff" has now be included in SSIS (integration service), not available in SSMSE as SQLExpress does not include the required runtime at all.. but you can perhaps interact with "linked servers" scenario and perform INSERT ...

.NET Development Multi-user problem with Access97
I have developed a database linked to SQL server 2000 in access97. When I test the database on two of the three networks available to me, it will allow multi-users to connect. But on one of those networks (the one where the database is supposed to live) it will only allow one user at a time. The database is not set for exclusive use and the security settings in access appear normal. The folder in which the database resides is set for full access for use by a user group set up specifically for this database. This database was a standalone database which was accessible by more than one user. I re-created it so it could be linked to the SQL Server. I think it was originally done in access95 and converted to access97. When I changed it, ...Show All

Visual Studio Cannot progressively flush Output Window from Custom Tool
Hi, I am implementing a custom tool based on the provided BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite class. I am able to send text to the Output Window but it does not appear until the GenerateCode command has completed. I am unable to progressively flush the Output Window. This is a problem because the custom tool may take some time and incremental progress updates are important. Does anyone know how to flush the Output Window Thanks Glad to help you, Ben! At the beginning I used Task as a base class but then I had the same problem as you and looked into Microsoft.Build.Utilities.dll using Reflector for .NET and found the ToolTask class which is the best for wrapping command line utilities. ...Show All
