• Visual Studio Express Editions Building configurations with vcbuild. Was: vcbuild can't work from a makefile?

  Hi, I saw this old post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=220065&SiteId=1 ... that says in order to build a project, I should use syntax like: vcbuild MyProject.vcproj "Release|Win32" ... in order to build the Win32 version of a Release build. Then, I see in the vcproj help files that vcproj files are not compatible with nmake. Does that mean I cannot invoke this command in a makefile, but must be typed at the command prompt My understanding is that if I were to use devenv, I would also be using .sln/.vcproj files. Does that mean devenv can't build a project from within nmake And... why are vcproj files incompatible with nmake Could they be compatible with other kinds of makefiles, ...Show All

• SQL Server Oracle REF CURSOR

  Good day! Does SQL Server has aby analog of ORACLE's Ref Cursors ex: "type [name] is ref cursor" Thanks you! No. SQL Server has a cursor data type that you can use as output parameter and only within TSQL code. You cannot bind to the cursor parameters from any of the client library like in Oracle. In SQL Server, resultsets are returned by just writing a SELECT statement without any INTO clause whereas in Oracle you typically use REF cursors or tables. Are you trying to convert some Oracle code to SQL Server Can you explain your problem more clearly It will be easier to suggest a workaround or migration strategy if I know your requirements.   Below are some links that will help y ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How do I know what match type the click is from?

  With Overture, you can set up your destination url's like: http://www.mysite.com/ trackingcode={ovmtc:standardcode:advancedcode:contentcode } Overture will fill the {} with whatever tracking code you specified given whatever the match type was for that impression. This way you can track your ROI at the keyword/matchtype level. How do I do this with adCenter I don't see any way of knowing what keyword the click came from along with the match type. As of right now I am going to stop development on the adCenter API, I don't see the point of integrating it with my ROI tracking software if I can't track it properly. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. Thanks. I can confirm that there is no wa ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strange bug - My system or XNA?

  I'm having a hard time troubleshooting this one. I have a simple XNA app where I have 2 cubes rendered with different colors from an FX file and the camera rotating around them. Very basic. 2 weeks ago, all of a sudden the program still works but the colors never show up anymore. It's just the blue background with the cubes 100% black. A couple days later, without changing the code, the color comes back onto the cubes and everything working again. Now today, the cubes have lost their color again! WTF ! I have the latest video drivers using DX August SDK and XNA Beta 2. You can check my test project here: http://www.pepperboy.net/Bin/files/Rainbow.zip ok, this is what I do to get my color back run my proje ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Filter Inner List Property

  Hello, I have done a test to see how WPF is handing entity binding and it working great. Much better than WinForms. I have create a class call Mission with property Name and a property Tasks of type IList<Task>. I also create a Task class which have Name and Legnth. Now, I have created two missions with few tasks in each of them. The missions are stored in List<Mission>. I have bound the mission list to an ItemsControl and set its ItemTemplate to Expander. The Expander header is bound to the mission's name. I then create an inner ItemsControl inside the missions control which have its ItemsSource property bound to the Tasks property. Inside the inner ItemsControl I put a TextBlock which bound to the task's name. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Grabbing the current URL and maybe the current page from outside of IE?

  What I'm looking to do is open a webpage in IE and be able to grab the current URL of that page with another application. What would be great is if I could grab the entire page too. Here is why I need this. My program needs a SID that the website provides to IE. This is provided be the website and with it I can then enter data with my local app because I can pass that SID. The SID is in the URL and even better in that current page. If this is not possible then how hard would it be to create an extention for IE to write the SID it has recieved someplace local If this is possible then I could just grab it and do the same work.

• Visual C# Solution Explorer where did New Folder go?

  It appears that in visual Studio 2005, the new folder feature found in visual studio solution explorer has been replaced with "new filter".  While I find filters fun and nice to use, I find this feature not able to do what I could with the new folder feature in 2003   We basically have a very large project and we want to create "sub-folders" off of that project as to group the different areas.  An example would be something like...   Toy Store Project       Balls   -  In this "sub folder" is all the .cpp, .h, and resx files etc having to do with balls       Video Games - in this "sub folder" is all the .cpp, .h, and resx files having to do ...Show All

  Hi! I have a question related to opening files from Source Control. Currently Source Control window supports only internal viewer and opening in external application is only possible from disk. To illustrate this inconveniency add PDF file to the source control and double click on the stored file. Although VisualStudio provides you with the binary viewer it is not the best reader for PDF content. Does anybody know how to change this behavior Maybe changing of file association might help Finally is it possible to add custom Verbs to context menu in Source Control window FYI, "Open with" only works when viewing files from the solution window - when I select a file from the source control window, the "o ...Show All
