• Visual C++ Strange 'new' behavior

  Consider the following code: int** a = (int**)new int[][2]; // compiles ok int** b = (int**)new int[]; // compiles ok int** c = (int**)new int[2][]; // generates C2087 If I'm interpreting CPP2003 correctly, none of these are valid, as the expression inside the []'s is supposed to be a constant integral expression, which I doubt the empty expression is. In any case, why do the first 2 compile but not the 3rd First we need to know how C++ implements multidimensional arrays. Multidimensional arrays are just a block of memory containing the array values, they are NOT array of pointers to other arrays as you seem to think by casting the result of new int[][2] to (int **). int **a = (int **)new int[][2] ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Searching Work item history

  Was it intended to allows for a text search in the history field using the query builder If I do a query on history using the 'contains' for a common word, nothing is returned Being able to search on the history would be very usefull to find items quickly instead of searching on fields individually Thanks B. Huard InCycle Software OK that is what I though (other posts lead me to believing the contrary). It would have been nice to search for any text in one field (currently you have to search each field individually with a series of OR statements). I have read other posts where a quicker search mechanism is being considered for future releases. Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums VEColor alpha 0.0 is as opaque as 1.0

  My observation, working a little bit with polylines, is that the A property of a VEColor does not work exactly as advertised in the SDK. While transparency 0.0 is meant to be transparent, 0.0 seems to be identical to 1.0. I am using IE6. Anybody else see this An obvious workaround is to use an alpha of 0.001, which looks pretty invisible to me. Yes, it DOES seem silly to be drawing invisible lines, but that's a separate issue. Can the polyline be fixed to behave as the documentation says it ought to It's nice to see the rollout of an improved SDK. Keep up the nice work! Any idea when MSFT will be giving us classes to support working with collections (creating, renaming, adding & deleting pins, etc) Thanks! Yeah i ...Show All

• SQL Server OPENROWSET T-SQL function

  Hi everyone, I have some doubts about OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function. Thanks The table shows the ways that a linked server can be set up for data sources accessible through OLE DB. A linked server can be set up us ...Show All

• SQL Server Could not start the ASP.NET service on local computer.

  Error 1069. The service did not start due to login failure. I can't get a domain login account with domain admin rights to start the service. The only way I can start the service is with the LocalSystem account, which isn't a good solution because it's not networkable. Thank you for any advice you have. The configuration tool should pick up ASP.NET account from machine.config file. It will not let you type in if you are on IIS5. Are you seeing blank "ASP.NET service account" box I am still confused when you talk about "starting the service". Which service is this (What is the name of the service in service controller manager ) RS has a windows service that is named "S ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Button Sub-class - "IsPressed" not being set?

  Hi all, Can i just firstly say what a great place this is for WPF help - one of the few on the net! Ive sub-classed "Button" (TaskButton) and given it a couple more d.p's and a custom control template. Im trying to set the colour of one of my borders gradient stops inside my control template by using "Button.IsPressed" inside my triggers section. This never gets set though, hence the colour never changes, i was wondering if sub-classing "button" is somehow causing the issue See below for the code: < ControlTemplate x:Key = " TaskButtonTemplate " TargetType = " {x:Type local:TaskButton} " > < ControlTemplate.Resources > < Storyboard x:Key = " Time ...Show All

• Visual C# using array lists

  I need an array like variable type that will automatically resize based on how many numbers are in it. After consulting my c# book, it seemed like an arraylist would be my best bet. After creating my array list, and adding some numbers to it, I realized that I had no idea how to read numbers from it. I thought it would be like reading numbers from a normal array, but this gave an error saying that I was trying to convert an object into an integer. heres what I tried (sorry the code is pretty crazy) for (int counter = 0; counter < gcGalaxSetup.gInSystem.Count ; counter++) { Matrix kartMatrix = Matrix.Translation(gcGalaxSetup.gShip[gcGalaxSetup.gInSystem[counter]].Position); ... gInSystem is my arraylist (or rather it re ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing properties as delegates

  Let's say I have the following: class Foo { private int myInt; public void SetInt(int i){myInt = i;} } And then somewhere else, I have this: delegate void MyDelegate(int); // Define a delegate that matches the signature of the Foo.SetInt function class Bar{ void DoStuff(MyDelegate someDelegate){ .... } // A function taking the delegate as an argument } Now I can easily pass SetInt as a delegate to the DoStuff function, no problem there. But what if I'd used a set property instead of the SetInt function, like so class Foo { private int myInt; public int MyInt{ set {myInt = value;} } } Is there any way I can then pass the MyInt property as a delegate to another function I suppose I could do it by wrapping it in an ...Show All
