• Visual C++ Is it possible to create a managed DLL and have a program built by VS 6.0 use it?

  I know it's possible to use C++/CLI to create an old style native DLL library that can be used by an application built using VS 6.0. I verified that this works by building a native DLL library in VS 2005. Then I used VS 6.0 to create a test program that uses a function from the DLL and I was able to successfully call this function. But what if we want to use some of the .NET Framework Class Library in this DLL library In other words, can I create a managed DLL and use it from a program built with VS 6.0 Can this be done if the signatures of all the functions only used native types and .NET classes are only used internally by the functions Thanks for any information. In principle, you want ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Image distortion using my native screen capture tool.

  I ever wrote a simple screen capture tool in WinXP. It worked well, but as I used it in Vista beta2, the captured images were not correct at all. I also tried PRINT SCREEN key and Magnifier tool, and the result was the same. Forgot the link of the image I get by using PRINT SCREEN key. My display card is GeForce 6200. Can anyone shed a light on it Thanks. http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/4008e591_15418/bc/My+Documents/desktop.jpg bf5UtmEBg.AzJtiC There seem to be two threads on this topic, so I'll answer both .

• .NET Development How can I get my asp.net application faster with .net CLR

  Hi gurus, how can I optimize any asp.net application's speed with the help of using CLR. What rules should follow to do that any articles or checklist is required Cheers Agha, Unfortunately there isnt a silver bullet that will help managed applications run faster. Performance Optimization is done on several levels, not just the CLR. Infact in my experience, 99% of the cases run fine with the default CLR settings. Is there a specific performance problem you are facing Here is a basic guide to some elementary ASP.NET perf tuning. http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/perftuning.aspx For GC/Memory tuning look up Maonis blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/maoni/ There is an interesti ...Show All

• .NET Development Remote access to class that references MS Outlook

  I'm trying to use remoting to have a client access a server where my outlook calendar is to retrieve several calendar entries. I've read lots of stuff on the internet and have been able to get what I want to work on the same pc (server with outlook). When trying to run the client on a different pc, I get 80040154 indicating that something is not registered, and upon researching determined that it is outlook that is not registered. Now, I do not have outlook installed on the client machine. I thought since the access is via the class instance that is on the server where outlook is installed, I'd be okay. Is this, in fact, why I'm getting there error Is there any way to get this to work without installing outlook on the client ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 Performance problem with updating subscribers with identities

  Since we've upgraded to 2005 we've had major performance problems with updating subscriber tables that contain identity PK columns set to manual or auto range management. If a table has identity range management set to 'None' (the "old" 2000 way), the peformance is fine. Below are sample tables: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ID_RANGE_TEST]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [DATA] [int] NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_ID_RANGE_TEST] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ID_NONE_TEST]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [DATA] [int] NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_ID_NONE_TEST] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KE ...Show All

• Windows Forms Forms and Threading

  Hi there, I'm creating an application in VC# and have multiple forms that I want open at the same time, without losing any responsiveness. What I've done is just whenever I want to launch a new form, I launch a new thread, which in turn launches the form. However I'm having a hard time telling if when the form closes (usually by the user clicking the red x) if this will also shut down the thread, assuming all the thread does is launch the form, no loops or anything like that. Also, I'm not worried about thread safety for this particular project, because it's a school assignment and the focus is just on the application itself, with the assumption that the user uses it in such a way that won't break anything :) Thanks a lot for the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. direct3d retained mode: upgrading to IDirect3DRM3 from IDirect3DRM

  My application uses the old direct3d retained mode system for a 3D GUI and the original interface objects (IDirect3DRM, IDirect3DRMDevice, IDirect3DRMFrame, and the others). I now have a need to use methods in IDirect3DRMMeshBuilder3, but to use the "3" version, the other objects have to be the "3" version. However, to start the process Direct3DRMCreate is used to create a IDirect3DRM object, which used to create other objects. The latest "3" version objects require an IDirect3DRM3 object for thier creation--the problem. Direct3DRMCreate can not create a IDirect3DRM3 object and I don't see a Direct3DRMCreate3 interface.

• .NET Development Sharing wizard-created datasets in a solution

  Hi there, I've created a solution that has multiple projects in it.These multiple projects compiles to become .dll dependency files that is used by my application. I've then used the datasource wizard (vs2005) to convert a large access database to a SQL Express dataset, and placed in under my main application. I have been doing work on it for many months now. All was well until I realize that I need to use some of the tables from that dataset in those dependency dlls as well. However as they are under a different project (or namespace ) , I can't seem to use them. 1. Is there a way we can share the dataset between projects which is in the same solution I tried copying the same dataset into another project and it came up with al ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Cannot open IE to solve error message

I found a, first not very clever idea of renaming it to entapi.dll.old. After I done that, the load came much further, the initial webpage almost loaded, but ie crashed again, telling now that the offending module is iqcwqpj.dll. I renamed it to iqcwqpj.dll.old, and (killed the zombie iexplore.exe's from the task manager) it loaded without glitch... I hope this still helps you, although an exact month passed...
