• Visual C++ Trouble using C# class in both managed C++ and C#...help!

  I have a managed C++ wrapper class that I am using to access native code. One of the methods in this class returns a type of object that is defined in a C# library. I am able to compile and see all the class. I am having trouble with the crossover between C++ and C# though. When I use this class in the C++ managed class it seems that I have to creat a pointer to this object type. In C# however, I can't have a pointer to this type. I need to be able to get across this barrier. Any suggestion on how I need to declare things in order for this to work Thanks I get the following. Debug Assertion Failed!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What's up with deleting posts mech commander downloads?

  I just don't get it. My posts have been removed, I mean any <fill in the blank> could just google for the keywords and get a bunch of legit game sites that host the shared source code (since it was released for free) and yet on these forums it's all hush hush untill MS fixes the link What gives Hmmm, apparently you misunderstood my post.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Form Locking

  Hi, I am creating an EPOS system in access/vba, with an SQL 2005 connection. Learning as I go I have managed to create a login keypad which checks your code input against the database to see if the login is valid. The way I see this keypad being used, is everytime the application is flagged as locked, the keypad appears and locks out other open forms until the correct code is entered. Am I thinking about this the right way is this the way that access would work, IF i knew code to do it Thanks, Dan Moving to the VBA forum: When you want to lock your application show the keyboard form modally and don't dismiss the keyboard form until the correct code is input. When you show a form moda ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Expanded Memory in Vista for DOS Applications

  A DOS application which requires expanded memory (EMS) is required to be run on Vista. In earlier releases the expanded memory could be set to auto using the command.com->properties->memory tab. Vista does not allow to change this settings due to security reasons. Is there a way of increasing the expanded memory to allow a huge DOS application to run in the Vista environment Nice try, Matthew, but it doesn't quite work as you said. But it seems you must be close. Here's what happened. Everything you said, above worked exactly as you said, but it turns out I didn't need to do any of the explorer launching stuff, as I can already edit the properties of "command.com" from my account ( ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error Accessing Registry while compiling VB COM component in Vista

  I am trying to compile a VB based COM component and I got the error - Error accessing registry". Even though the DLL has been generated. When I tried to register the same through Regsvr32.exe then also I get the same error. So I believe it's giving error while registering. My login ID is a memeber of administrative group. Can we get rid of security message we receive every time while opening any exe file. Regards, Virendra When registering DLLs, you must always be in an elevated state. If you are automatically registering it when you build the DLL, it may be running regsvr32 without elevated privileges. Even on an admin account, you must still be elevated (yes, it's strange, but even admins don't have full ac ...Show All

• .NET Development Com Visibility in VS2003

  Hi guys I have a web application developed in Vb.Net under VS2003. Now, a certain vendor requires us to build an interface dll that is "COM Visible". Since VS2003 has no option available in Project Properties to do this, how do I sort this out Sadly it took me considerable time and effort to realise that a dll developed likewise in VS2005 cannot be made to work with VS2003 !

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Users added via a domain local group don't get access?

  I have a user who isn't added directly to the site but is a member of a domain local group that has been added to the viewers group. The user gets access denied. If I add them to a domain global group in AD and add that domain global group then there is no problem. Is there a problem giving access to domain local groups (these are not the same as machine local groups) as opposed to domain global groups Thanks, Mark I discovered this was because my domain was working in mixed mode and domain local groups are scoped to the domain controller only in that mode. Switching to native mode solves the problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Memory problem when refreshing ListView with ADO .net

  Hello, I have a listView with GridView, that is binded to a dataset. First, what is the correct way to update the listView, for now I use the fill method of the adapter to fill the dataset again. adapter.fill(Dataset.Table); Second, When I'm doing this, the memory keeps increasing. Is this normal Thank you Your code looks OK. I built an app similar to yours, but it doesn't leak. There must be something different about your app that I'm not seeing, or perhaps I filled in some of the details in a different way. (For example, I don't have your ListView_PreviewMouseDoubleClick method - although that's not likely to be the problem.) I'd like to figure this out - memory leaks are bad. But it l ...Show All
