• Visual C++ tcscpy_s Assert with no useable stack trace

  I am porting a unix app to VC++ and now I have got all the libraries to compile the application is asserting in tcscpy.inl with the message Expression: (L"Buffer is too small" && 0). When I break on this line there call stack does not show where in my code this call has originiated. I am not calling tcscpy_s any where in the code but the call stack indicates the original call was strcpy_s. The output window tells me the exe was built without debug information "Binary was not built with debug information." but it is compiled with the /ZI option. I have tried rebuilding with the /Zi flag Does anybody have any ideas why the IDE thinks I have no debug information I have tried commenting out al ...Show All

• Windows Forms Reg - Building a presentation table for a datagrid

  hi, We have a third party data grid to display data. The datasource is a table, we call it as presentation table  It has an universal ID as orimary key. The presentation table is dynamically built based on users preferences. The user can decide what data points he wants to see. The data for the presentation table comes from multiple tables say t1, t2, t3 and so on. Say column c1 comes from t1, c2 from t2 and so on. If the user chooses to see c1 and c5, we create a presentation table and add new columns similar to c1 and c5. Then copy data from t1 and t2 of the respective columns to the presentation table and display it to the user.  All t1, t2 have universalID as primary key.This is the overall outline. This logic works p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding numbers in textboxes together

  I have 5 textboxes on my form. When the user presses 'Enter" (Total_Enter event ) I want my program to add the textboxes together, sometimes only 1 or 2 of the boxes will have data entered in them - how can I code it so that it checks the 1st textbox to see if there is anything there if so it adds, if not it moves on to check the next textbox etc. I think I will have to use an If/Else statement something like: If Textbox1.Text=True Then Totalstextbox.Text=Str(Val(TotalsTextbox.text+Textbox1.text) Else If Textbox.Text="" Then This is where I get stuck - Im not really sure if the above is quite correct or if im doing this completely wrong, Any help really appreciated ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development Identifying WiFi Access Points

  I am looking for a command line application or programmatic solution that lists the essid and mac addresses of the wireless access points in range. I have tried many of the examples off of the internet, yet none of them seem to output the proper information after XP SP2 update. It seems that wmic may assist in this, but its unclear. There are a few libraries available, but all of them require the user to disable the zeroconf service. I am willing to work in any language, so long as it prints to standard output, not a GUI. Java is preferred. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to go about this This forum is dedicated to questions relating to the Winsock Kernel programming interface.

• Visual Studio Team System TFSService Account Getting Locked

  I apologize if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find anything on the forums... My TFSService domain account keeps getting locked and I'm not sure why. No one is attempting to log in with the account and it has the "Password never expires" option set. When the network admins unlock it, everything seems to work fine for a while, then I'll start getting errors, which means that it's been locked again. I'm not a network admin by any means and I don't have direct access to managing the Active Directory but the admins tell me everything is setup for the user based on the TFS installation guide. Any ideas would be helpful. Right - my guess would be something similar, ...Show All
