• Visual Studio Express Editions Form applications and console output

  Hi all, I just discovered that I'm not able to print anything on console from a project created as Win Form application. No printf(), no cout<<, neither Console::Write() works. The program is launched from a cmd.exe window and works, but some messages printed on the console never appear. Should I have to change some project settings Thanx Have a look at the Win32 API AttachConsole. You should find samples in MSDN and I bet there are some to google or search.live for. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder! If I start the team explorer on the server the documents folder is shown correctly. I tried to copy the http-url ( http://[servername]/sites/[Project ]) to an IE on a client and there the sharepoint site is shown without any problems. I did the changes required after installation of Sharepoint Portal Services SP2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/07/478336.aspx ). I think I also configured the users like mentioned in the install guide (TFSInstall-v50926.chm - Managing Security Roles for Team Foundation Server). Did anyone have a suggestion how to fix it ...Show All

• Windows Forms UserControl as Container

  Hi all, Just a quick question and I am sure there is a simple solution but I just haven't found it yet. I know how to make my UserControl a container by using ParentControlDesigner etc. This works fine and I can drag and drop Windows Forms Controls at design time. However, if I add a Panel to my UserControl Class, compile it and then try to drag and drop another control on the Panel, the Panel does not act as a container. So my question is: If I have a UserControl which consist of a single Panel, which is a pretty lame control I know, how can you get the Panel to act as a container at design time Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards AM PS. The UserControl that I have written does not consist of a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Validating a running workflow

  Hi, Is it possible to validate all the activities in the workflow which are in the initialized state Heres the problem description. I have a sequential workflow which has a set of activities. I need to allow dynamic update of this workflow. On adding new activity to this workflow from the host, I need to validate not only the newly added activities but also other existing activities, which have still not been executed. Is it possible to do this -Madhura Just to add to what Tom said, you can also call the Validate method of the WorkflowChanges object prior to calling ApplyWorkflowChanges. This returns a ValidationErrorCollection which allows you to enumerate through any individual validation er ...Show All

• SQL Server Converting milliseconds in hours

  Hi! I have the difference between two dates in milliseconds. I want to convert this difference to the format hh:mm:ss.mmm, without the date. So, if the difference is bigger then one day, I would like to show it like this, for example: 36:25:14.047 How can I do this Thank you! If you want to show the difference between two times in the format, h:m:s:ms, this code will do it.  For the zero padded numbers, I would create a function to accept a number and return a string representation with the specified required number of zeros to pad the number.

• Windows Live Developer Forums MS VB Run Time Error 429

  Hello List, I hope you can assist me with a problem I created. I have a problem, I think, due to having an ADCenter.dll assembly out of synch with what is found in the system registry.

• Audio and Video Development Superimposition filter with MF

  Hi, I've been working for a little time with Media Foundation, trying to implement an application I had once created with DShow. This is a C# form using a wrapper and a filter to play a video file applying a transform. With DShow, I was able to write a filter to write on the video, using a HBITMAP and the m_pinput properties in the CTransformFilter Class. In MF, I'm not able to reproduce the same process like that. So my question is : "Is it possible to write a filter with MF, which would allow to write on the video (using Superimposition) Thanks Hi, Thank you for your answer. I finally found a way to implement my filter. The true hidden question surely was : "Is ther an easy way to do this, as ...Show All
