Visual C++ The "missing type specifier - int assumed" compiler error (C4430)
Trying to migrate a VC++ 6.0 project to Visual C++ 2005 express. I think things are going okay but this one compiler error is something that I've just got hung up on, does this mean that I HAVE to declare return type for all my functions in this version - that the compiler wont make the return type int if I dont specify one Im guessing this is some new part of the ISO C++ that I have just missed. It's not a difficult error to fix - but it is annoying and stupid, is there no way to work around this Cant I change some option on the compiler to make it work like my old one does /Jimmie I'd really like to now that too. It's a real hazzard getting Directshow to work these days. After a lot of searching the Directshow SD ...Show All
Smart Device Development runtime error when creating new VC++ smart device app
I am using VS2005 version 8.0.50727.42. I notice in the New Project selection the Smart Device selection for Visual C++ does not have selections for "Pocket PC 2003, Smartphone 2003, Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0" These selections are available for "Other Languages" like Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual J#. When I try to create a new project in Visual C++ and select "MFC Smart Device Application" and hit "OK", I get "Runtime Error", this is what the error dialog said: A Runtime Error has occurred.

.NET Development how to build selectCommandText for OleDbDataAdapter when filepath has a space in it?
I have a method that returns a DataTable based on the contents of a CSV file.

Visual C++ inline assembly functions
Hello, either I am missing some small stupid thing or there is an interesting bug in the way Visual C++ 2005 passes parameters to a function. Any help would be wonderful ^^. The following is the code I have at the moment. It simply reads in 3 values and sorts them least to greatest. According to what i know of how variables are passed in a function call, the top of the stack should have the return address followed by the variables passed to the function. When I do this however the passed in values and the top of the stack are several hundred bytes away from eachother seperated by junk 0xCC word values. #include <iostream> using namespace std; void asmSortThree( int& , int& , int& ); void main() ...Show All

SQL Server Web based Data Mining Query... Installation issue..
Hey gang, I have ran into an installation issue that has been bugging me all weekend. I'm trying to run the preditive analytics query from a web based application (ASP.NET).

Windows Live Developer Forums MSN Activity and external content
Hi, I seem to remember reading somewhere that content in the activity window can only originate from the domain where the activity comes from (probably for security reasons). However I can't find any info about that in this forum. Also in a demo i have running in which a have defined an activity in the msgrp2p.xml i can display all kinds of info from many different domains. Am i mistaken in the assumption that content can only originate from the original domain or am i missing something thanx for any help. Hi, Is this security feature still in place I does not appear to be. Last week I was making some adjustments to an existing and provisioned activity.

SQL Server how to generate as "enter" function in SQLSERVER?
For example: select 'sp_refreshview ''' + [name] +''' go ' from Sysobjects where xtype='v' order by [name] I want the result is follow: sp_refreshview 'lt.trxdetai' go sp_refreshview 'ps_account' go thanks You can do below and use the text mode output. There is no need to put CR and LF. select 'exec sp_refreshview ''' + [name] +''';' from sysobjects where xtype='v' order by [name] If you need to generate the call as different batches then simply add a CR & LF as part of the string itself like: select 'exec sp_refreshview ''' + [name] +''' go ' from sysobjects where xtype='v' order by [name] ...Show All
SQL Server CLR Stored Proc Queue activation help
I set up a queue to activate a clr stored procedure upon receiving a message and nothing is happening. I have tried everything listed in this topic: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=200684&SiteID=1 except for saying "Recieve Top(0)" which didn't make any sense to me. I have set the database to trustworthy (all of this is taking place within a single database on a local server).

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content Pipeline
Hi, I haven't really used the Content Pipeline seriously yet but I've seen the official tutorials on it and understand them. Now, I'm thinking - what if I want to load a certain model/effect or anything else that the Content Pipeline supports - BUT I want to load it dynamically/at run-time, e.g. I have a certain filename that my code wants to use to load content, but I don't know it until runtime. Is there some sort of dynamic way of using what otherwise seems to be a static Content Pipeline Thanks... CodePfo or anyone else - sorry to ask you again, but I'm really not quite sure . Probably because I'm quite a beginner with this content pipeline idea, but a semi-detailed outline of how to make a system w ...Show All
