Visual C++ hangman project
Hello, I'm somewhat new to C++. I am taking a class on it in college, but the teacher doesnt like to explain things very well. Basically her idea of helping us learn C++ is this: "this is how you start all your programs in this class: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { } " She never explainted even what "#include <iostream>" or "using namespace std;" ment. So, this brings us to my question. I'm trying to write a c++ program *for a project in class* that is a hang man game. The hangman is stored in a character array. The user is able to input a word into a 25 character array "char word[25];". There are a couple of things I need to do. the first thing is, I need to know h ...Show All

SQL Server Exporting data into Excel file from SSIS
I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file. But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000. On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file. I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also. Thanks in advance. Atul ...Show All
SQL Server Any one help me out!
Hi I have a requirement in SSRS where in i need to generate a report in which initially there will be one record (say, a manager of a department and some values corresponding to him ) now i need to provide a drill-down on this employee(mamager) such that the next level of employees reporting to him should be displayed with all the parameters and this has to continue till the leaf level employee. Thanks in advance. will the number of levels be known in advance or is it parent-child RS is not very good at dealing with an arbitary number of grouping levels. One way to do it would be define a report with a manager parameter that renders a table of subordiantes. Then in a master report, nest t ...Show All
Visual Studio msbuild excludeFromBuild, need to do it for all subfolders....
I'm trying to do the ExcludeFromBuild in the wdproj file. The problem is, I need to exclude all the files with .resx extension in the current folder and all the subfolders. And I don't know how to do it. I've about 25 folders under this folder and some below that and I don't want to do this manually.

Visual C++ Memory bloat when using Visual Studio
Visual Studio 2005 has been taking up 600MB+ of memory, with a VM footprint around the 1200MB mark. I thought it might have been a plugin I use, Visual Assist, but I’ve uninstalled it and still have this problem. It will happen with normal use, but happens much quicker if I attach/detach the debugger to an application a few times. Anybody have any thoughts on what might be causing this Thank you both for your replies. I have looked at some articles on TechNet that were related to memory thrashing, though none of them were all that useful in my situation. Neither of the hotfixes pertain to my situation either, since I do not do any Web application developement. I did try to reinstall VS 2005 SP1 though ...Show All
Visual C++ iostreams from within a static lib
What is the best way to have iostreams output (std::cout) from within a static lib be routed to a console I have managed front-end that calls a unmanaged static lib. Since the front-end has no console to begin with, I am using AllocConsole() to spawn one. Calls to std::cout from the managed code then appear on the console, however calls to std::cout in the unmanaged code do not appear. If I then move the AllocConsole() call to the unmanaged code (again, which is linked into the managed code as a static lib), still calls to std::cout do not appear on the spawned console. Anjo The best thing do in this case is to make your application have a console in the first place. You can do this by changing the subsy ...Show All

Windows Forms Arg - Closer but now Too Many Rows. Please Help:)
Hi: I created a User Control for my label which worked out fine (previous post). Now I've got it looking GREAT EXCEPT: It's making rows and I can't figure out why. Look at the pic and you'll see, for every row in the MAIN table that has been displayed 'so far', the number of rows in the nested table in the right column of the Main table is equal or greater than the sum of the rows displayed 'so far' in tblMain. Example: Row 3 of the Main table has 3 rows in the 2nd column. Row 4 of the Main table has 4 rows in the 2nd column. WHY http://www.softlinksys.com/toomanyrows.jpg The problem appears to be in tblOrders. Notice that I create a NEW one for each iteration. I've checked the record counts, the count in the array arOrders an ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XBox 360 shader compatibility?
As the XNA framework will be PC <-> XBox 360 I'd like to know what shaders are supported by the XBox 360. Afaik the ATI Xenos GPU of the XBox 360 supports every shader even up to the coming shader model 4.0 (160 operations per cycle), is this correct As far as I'm aware the Xbox shader model is a superset of Windows shader 3.0. I could be wrong about some details, but it is certainly close to that. You can't run 3.0 Windows shaders directly on Xbox, though, because the output format is different. Xbox doesn't support the same token format as Windows, so it won't be able to handle the output of the Windows HLSL compiler. That means you need to compile your shaders twice: once for Windows targetting shader model 3.0, a ...Show All

Windows Forms How change the DataGridView CurrentRow Index ???
Hi, I just realized that the CurrentRow.Index property is read-only, I need to select the rowindex programatically since the DataGridView is bounded.

Thanks in advance. George Use the BindingSource.Position or CurrencyManger.Position to get the current row. Changing the position will move to the next row. ...Show All
