• Visual C++ VS2005 3rd Party library woes... and solutions!

  I have been researching forums about the problems of linking to old 3rd party libraries in VS2005. We are migrating to VS2005 at the moment, and are facing all of these issues. It seems to me to be a big oversight on behalf of Microsoft to leave what must be many, many people stranded with this problem. However, I'm interested more in finding solutions. Looking into the forums, people are coming up with all kinds of suggestions mixing libraries, defining symbols etc... it all looks a little unstable to me. I'd like to list a couple of ideas here and have some input from you as to how practical / stable they actually are: (1) Regarding the mixed mode dlls that we have compiled with VS 2003 that use these 3rd party libraries, compiled for .N ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture creation fails on XBox 360

  Can someone tell me why the following piece of code won't work on the XBox 360 I don't have an XBox 360 myself (and it will be at least 6 more months before I plan to afford one), so I can't test this at home. If anyone could tell me what's needed to make this snippet working, I'd be very happy :) // Look up the maximum texture size supported by the device Point textureResolution = new Point ( graphicsDevice.GraphicsDeviceCapabilities.MaxTextureWidth, graphicsDevice.GraphicsDeviceCapabilities.MaxTextureHeight ); // No larger than 1024 to avoid becoming a memory hog on systems // supporting insanely large textures :) textureResolution.X = Math .Min(textureResolution.X, 1024); textureResolution.Y = Math .Min(textureResolution.Y, 102 ...Show All

Even if i change the background coor of the grid box ... it is printed with a dark gray color.... Can any one please help me what to do to get it prinet properly.......

• Visual Studio Express Editions Move pogam

  I wat to take my program to a different computer so i put it on a USB key and took it to the computer then when i go to run it, something happened and errors come up and the program doesn't work. How to i pack it up so i can take it to a different computer and edit the code Instead of just copying the files - Do a click once deployment to CD. This will create a proper deployment setup which you can then run on other machines - one of the requirements in the deployment will be .NET 2.0 Framework so if its not on the machines it will install it.

• .NET Development Web Services via Javascript

  I have a question for you: At my company we use Web Services with a Delphi made Server and Classic ASP client For doing that, we used a Delphi component called RemObjects and a Microfoft component called Soap Toolkit 3.0 This is what microsoft says about Soap toolkit: The Microsoft SOAP Toolkit is deprecated by the .NET Framework. SOAP Toolkit support will be retired in April 2005. We realized that Soap Toolkit 3.0 doesnt work as expected on Windows 2003 Server platforms. Which is givin a lot of headaches and unsatisfied costumers. Since migrating all Classic ASP application to .NET seems to be a painfull and slow task... Here is my question: Could I just paste my web services from ...Show All

• Smart Device Development how to use #if COMPACT_FRAMEWORK

  I am implementing a new security model for a project, and I need to change a dll to be CF compatible (ie remove all XPath stuff). I figure a good way to do this would be to use, for example: #if COMPACT_FRAMEWORK private System.Windows.Forms.Panel gbNewPassword; #else private System . Windows . Forms . GroupBox gbNewPassword; #endif However, my compiler wont build it, mostly because it doesn't seem to know I want it to build in COMPACT_FRAMEWORK mode. The project is a C# Smart Device project, by the way. How do I get the compiler to believe we are building the project for compact framework Should I be creating a new solution configuration Thanks, Iceman_Aragorn You'd need to define COMPACT_FRAM ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Assigning multiple users to a task

  Let's say you have task A, and persons X, Y and Z. I'd like to assign X and Y to task A. However, I don't want to create a group titled "XY" containing X and Y to assign this task to them. Is there a way to add both individuals to the task If the answer is NO, implying I'd end up creating groups XY, XZ, YZ, and XYZ, then when is this "feature" going to be fixed I really can't fathom having to work around this with 10 team members. Thanks in advance. Mark Anthony, Many thanks for your rapid response. I'll find a way to work around the issue. The difficulties with Passport were due to the fact that I was not a member, so wanting to reply to this thread generated a requi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Intellisense problem: Type is not defined but build is successful.

  Hi, Some of the types in my project have squiggly underlines that indicate the types are not defined. The types are actually defined in the same namespace as the class where they are used. The project builds successfully despite the squiggly underlines. "Go to definiton" functionality of intellisense stops working for the class because of the error indicators. I have tried deleting the intellisense database file but to no avail. Does anyone have experience with similar problem The problem is not critical, however, very annoying. I am using MS Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition. Thanks. I got rid of the problem. The problem seemed to originate from the vbproj file that was somehow corrupted. What I d ...Show All

• Visual C# Controls not available

  I've inherited a system with a strange problem. In an ASP.NET code behind I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" whenver I reference any ASP control on my page. This happens in all of the page level events such as Page_Load, OnPreRender, OnPreRenderComplete, etc. The only workaround seems to be to put initialization code in the OnInit of one of the controls on the page. This seems to fire after all of the controls have been created. I'd prefer not to use such a kludgy solution. Is there some setting or something that I'm miswsing that makes the controls render later Any other ideas Jeff Hi Jeffrey, Can u plz ellobrate it bit...... It wil ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. deriving from DrawableGameComponent

  I have a strong feeling I'm missing something very obvious, so hopefully this is easy to fix... I've been trying to convert my beta1 project over to beta2 and there's one build error I can't figure out. I previously had a "SpriteComponent" defined as so: public class SpriteComponent : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameComponent and recently changed it so that the line is: public class SpriteComponent : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.DrawableGameComponent Within this class, I attempt to define a constructor as so: public SpriteComponent() { //blah blah } I thought this was pretty standard, but that line gives me the error: "no overload for method 'DrawableGameComponent' takes '0' arguments" looking at the documentation, ap ...Show All
