• Visual Studio Express Editions starting a simple program

  Yea, i just finished installing and setting up Microsoft Visual C++ Express Editon and Microsoft Platform SDK according to the instuctions on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/ --just when i get to the last step of the instructions which is " Step 5: Generate and build a Win32 application to test your paths. ", I cant tell if the program is running or not. All the pops up is a blank dialog box that says "testrun" on the top left hand corner. When i create a simple .cpp file (this is the code) #include <iostream.h> int main(){ cout << "This is a test\n."; return 0; } and then run it (by pressing f5) i get the same blank dialog box with the same title on the top le ...Show All

• .NET Development Networkstream.Read() Not Working

  I have two TcpListeners listening on the same IP address but different ports in an application (server). Likewise, I have two clients waiting to connect to the server in another application (client). Now I receive data from the server through one port and send data from the client to the server using the other port. Thing is, the client sends what it's supposed to send but the server fails to read that data and just skips through the read data portion of the code. if (ns2.DataAvailable == true ) { ns2.Read(jsCommands, 0, jsCommands.Length); label1.Text = System.Text. Encoding .ASCII.GetString(jsCommands); } Now if i remove the DataAvailable check and just try to read the data, the program closes the socket and hangs af ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ won't run from source control: "The system cannot execute the specified program"

  Hi, I've installed VS 2005 C++ Express into source control and it won't work. I've wasted the better part of a day so far trying to get it to work. The error message I get when trying to run something as simple as lib.exe is: "The system cannot execute the specified program." When I load up the .exe in the dependency walker (depends.exe), it says: Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "y:\compilers\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\LIB.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001) . The only dependency shown for LIB.EXE other than KERNEL32.DLL is MSVCR80.DLL. I've tried copying all t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strange Compiler Error!!!!!!!!

  Hello, I have recently begun programming in DirectX. I am compiling a single file(.cpp), that requires nothing but a link to DirectX in Visual Studio 2005 Professional (Which I own). I have linked everything to the DirectX SDK files, but I receive the following errors. error C2065: 'index' : undeclared identifier error C2228: left of '.x' must have class/struct/union error C2228: left of '.y' must have class/struct/union These seem familiar with "C" style errors, but I'm using C++. I might have the compiler settings wrong, so that it could think that it was C, not C++, as .x, and .y is straight C++ so somethign is wrong here, there is nothing wrong with the code, as it is from a book and have given it to other ...Show All

• Visual Studio CodeFunction - is it an override?

  Busy writing an addin that re-orders code elements - much like the MZTools but with rather specific rules - but have been struggling for a while to check if a specific CodeFunction is an override. Help, please AFAIK there is no property in the CodeFunction / CodeFunction2 classes to know that, you have to parse the source code searching for the overrides keyword in each language (VB.NET, C#). That's how I did in the MZ-Tools add-in. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I wanna see the classes BODY :D

  hi guys .. im new here .. and i have a question here is there any way to see the body of the class CONSOLE plz not only console class ... i mean any class thats come with the editor just like MATH , CONSOLE , BUTTON,......etc i think it will be helpfull but look is that legal thanx Without learning how to parse MSIL into a higher level language on your own you are not going to be able to build code to do this very easily. Far easier (and more popular) is the .NET Reflector which does all of that for you and is a wonderful way to get insights into the .NET Framework so as to better understand how your code interacts with it. ...Show All

• .NET Development Program built with .Net 2.0 needs to run a computer with .Net 1.1

  Good Morning, I've written a program using VB in Visual Studio 2005. It is designed to access and modify the Assistant and Assistant Telephone fields in a User Object in Active Directory. On my developer workstation it works flawlessly, but I have .Net 2.0 installed as part of the Visual Sudio 2005. When I try to install the product on our Helpdesk Tech Machines, it attempts to install .Net 2.0. The environment in which our Helpdesk personel work maintain a strict "standard workstation" mentality and will not allow the .Net 2.0 software to be installed; they do currently have ver. 1.1. I am using the System.DirectoryServices namespace to access Active Directory and write the information back to the object, which appears ...Show All

• Visual C++ Changing Static properties.. Is this impossible?

  Hi there.. I have been trying for days now to change the property of visible on a static text control in my application to false during runtime. I have researched this and researched this, and even posted on Expert Exchange, but no one seems to know how to do this.... I'll post the answer I was given on EE.com, and hopefully someone here will know more about it. I have only been programming in C++ for a week now, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.... I have several static text controls setup in my application (DirectX pong game) to report various stats that assisted me in creating the game and diagnosing troubles that may arise setup in a console.rc resource in my project.

• Visual C++ Use win32 dll in the window application

  Hi, I try to reuse my code from a win32 console application to a window application project, Then I try to make dll of win32 project and add it to the new window project, but I get error that said my win32 project is not .Net assembly. Can some one show me how to reuse my code or do I have to copy paste all the code and recompile it Thank you in advance, sorry for my poor english To use unmanaged Win32 Dll in other C++ application, you need to add .lib file to the Linker dependencies list, include Dll interface h-file to the client project .cpp file, and call Dll functions. This way works both for unmanaged and managed client. Unmanaged Win32 Dll cannot be added as reference, this way works only for .NET class libraries. ...Show All
