• Visual C++ C++/CLI Compile Error

  Hi, I have some code that compiles and works fine in C++. I am in the process of attempting to use this same code in a C++/CLI project. Been working through various compile issues. This one is pointing me into the map, do not want to mess around with that code. Anyways, the error I get is, C3699: '&': cannot use this indirection on type xmlDictionary::DictionaryData. My class that I am working with is named xmlDictionary. DictionaryData is a struct, ref struct DictionaryData{ std::string value;// error here also ValueType type; }; The offending line of code is, std::map<std::string, DictionaryData> m_data; I am thinking it is STL related. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Need help with 4 table query

  I have 4 tables. The first three are the familiar aspnet_Users, aspnet_UsersInRoles and aspnet_Roles where a User relates to many UsersInRoles, many of which relate to a single Role. Added to that is a table of objects owned by roles (one role owns many objects). Given that a user can be in many roles, I need to get a result showing the objects owned by the user and through what role. As a start I've tried: Dim result = _ From stuff In db.MyObjects _ Where ( From u In db.AspnetUsers, ur In u.AspnetUsersInRoles _ Where u.UserName = "user" _ Select ur).Any() _ Select stuff I know this (even if it worked) wouldn't be the whole solution, but all I'm getting is An unhandled exception of ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Rename file, Error "MoveFile" failed. But file gets deleted

  I am currently seeing an error 183, file couldn't be moved because a file already exists. However, after this error appears the destination file is deleted anyways, only leaving the orginal source file. This is in a directory in program files and the files are not being virtualized ( I played with the permissions on the directory). The rename works perfectly fine in PrgoramData. Is this a problem with rename, or is one of Microsofts ways of getting applications to not write to program files The same results can been seen in C:\ProgramData. Do the following: Create two files: test.txt and test1.txt Create an app that deletes test1.txt Check the return value of the delete Then do a move from test.txt to test1.txt The "MoveFile&qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System An overlapping product in SQL Server???

  Hi, I spotted the following job advert: http://members.microsoft.com:80/careers/search/details.aspx JobID=ADA9F7F7-97D2-4B45-B2E1-8919E5525BA0&AllCl=Y&start=1&interval=68&SortCol=DatePosted&SortOrder=DEF Seems to me that the product their talking about has alot of overlap with datadude. What's the deal here -Jamie I cannot comment on any future product plans outside the scope of my team; I can say we are actively working together with the SQL Server team on integration and futures. However our product is not going to be exclusive to SQL Server, we will be supporting different database backends in a future release through a schema provider mechanism. -GertD ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to flip a 2D texture

  Hi Microsoft, First, thank you very much for the XNA Platform. I do recognize the titanic effort to deliver this platform. I do have a small suggestion that will help the development of 2D games, specially for us newbies. In a nutshell, I've been looking for a direct way to horizontally flip an image, mostly because I don't want to put two ".png" files when one single file might be enough. I think this operation would be quite common, specially since a sprite that goes to the left will eventially go to the right. I look everywhere in the documentation, and I was not able to find such procedure. I did find some stuff about DirectX, but I didn't understand a byte of it. After half a jar of coffee, I read something ...Show All
