• Visual C++ cli; a namespace with this name does not exist

  In an attempt to get a pin_ptr working, I added the "using namespace cli" to my namespaces, but the compiler returns the error "error C2871: 'cli' : a namespace with this name does not exist" I did several searches on MSDN and only found one possible problem; that my compile command did not have /clr in it. I looked in the property pages of my program, and saw that Use Managed Extensions was set to Yes, so I thought that covered it. I don't see how it would help to show my code, as the compiler doesn't even get past the namespaces. However, I can give other information if necessary. (bear with me, I'm a very novice programmer thus far) " computer probably made it available to the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Use the KILL command to delete a file or set of files in a folder.

  Hi, Is there a way to delete files from the target machine during the installation, when using a setup project The files to be deleted are created during my product first run, and I want it to start clean when re-installed. Thanks. OK, I finally managed to solve it. I expected the setup project to have an easier way to delete files on the target machine, but since there isn't I found a way to do it myself. I am using a VBScript custom action, that will delete a file that is given to it as a parameter. The problem was accessing this parameter, since the MSI installer doesn't run the regular script host, and it doesn't support all the functions that a regular host would support. Intead ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help rookie programmer please...

  Hi, i'm new at C++ and VC++ , and i don't know same basics. I have a homework that i can not deal by myself. So i'll be too happy if you help me.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows CardSpace only supports secure MetadataExchange and does only allow mex over https

  I realised (correct me if I'm wrong) that since June/July, CTP Windows CardSpace only supports secure MetadataExchange and does only allow mex over https. Here is the error I get from the event logger when I try to connect to an STS over http from a RP web site (i.e <param name="issuerPolicy" value=" http://localhost/sts/mex "> ) There was a failure making a WS-Trust exchange with an external application. Windows CardSpace only supports secure MetadataExchange and does not allow mex over non https address. A non https address was found during metadata resolution. My first question is why Why is it mandatory to have https and not http The policy should be available to anyone without a secure channel Wha ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView AutoFilter whitepaper and sample

  Are you spoiled by the AutoFilter feature in Excel Do you want the same functionality in the DataGridView control Then my new whitepaper and sample are for you. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/windowsforms/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnwinforms/html/DtGrdVwAF.asp The DataGridViewAutoFilter library provides a custom DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell with a drop-down filter list that displays each unique value in a column, and updates the filter of the bound data source when a value is selected from the list. A custom DataGridViewColumn is also provided to make using the AutoFilter header cell easier, particularly in the Windows Forms Designer. Customizing DataGridView column header cells is not as easy as customizi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Does a Java BorderLayout-like thing exist in C++?

  Hi! I have to design a form for an application, which components are only a label and a panel. Now I need that the label is located at the top of the window and the panel at the center. Moreover: 1) I want that there are not any "blank spaces" between the window border and the label and panel borders 2) the panel sizes are given run-time, and the other components sizes are modified consequently to fulfill the previous constraints. In Java, all this could be done with the BorderLayout command (eg: contentPane.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER); contentPane.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH); ) . (I tried to use the "Dock" command, but id doesn't satisfy me because in this way I cannot modifying the size of the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible BlockCollection bug - Need clarification

  Not sure if this was by design or a bug. When taking blocks from the BlockCollection of a RichTextControl and adding to a FlowDocumentViewer, the source collection will suddenly wipe clean once you have added the first block of the source collection to the destination collection. ie Place a RichTextEdit and a FlowDocumentPageViewer onto a form. Enter text into the RichTextEdit making sure more than one block is entered. and have the following code execute from a button click ect FlowDocument destinationContent =(FlowDocument)flowDocumentPageViewer1.Document; FlowDocument sourceContent = (FlowDocument)richTextBox1.Document; Block currentBlock = sourceContent.Blocks.FirstBlock; for (Int32 blockIndex = 1; blockIndex < sourceContent.Blocks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Counting pixels in a region

  Yet another question.... I have a region that's made up of several shapes; some connected, some not. Is there an easy way to determine how many pixels that region is occupying I was hoping I'd find a solution in one of its methods but that doesn't seem to be the case. All of the shape information is stored in the region, you'd think it would be easy to count all the pixels in a given region. I will need to count/recount the number of pixels often so I'm hoping there is an easy/non-expensive (CPU/time wise) method for this. Because the region will contain non-connected shapes, and because the region is a solid color, would it be best to convert it to a 1-byte bitmap, then count that way Looking for any advice ...Show All
