• Visual C++ Using vc71 built libraries with vc8 applications

  Hi, I have a set of libraries, built with vc71, and I want these linked into a new application which is built using vc8 (to certify vc71 libs instead of having to build a new set). I am having problems though linking with some of my vc71 built libraries. The linking phase fails with unresolved external symbols errors. Is what I am trying even valid (i.e. are vc71 built libraries linkable to vc8 applications) TIA, John Using libraries generated older compilers with new compilers is not a good idea. You are better off re-compiling them. It may or may not work. If you are getting compile time errors, It is probably because of some incompatibility . You may want to take a look at this post in which Ayman Sho ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Windows environment book

  Hello! I am looking for a book that covers Windows environment connected information. Like a scripting bible but for C# (Framework 2.0). A book that covers for example: * How to create a user. * How to create a mailbox. * How to set NTFS rights for a folder. * How to map a network drive. * How to add a printer. * bla, bla, bla.... I realize that some of those thing might not be bundled all in one book, so a book about ADSI edit in C# covering point one and two is better than nothing, and so on. /Leyan Hi; For book on C# and .net 2.0 have alook on amazon.

• Visual Basic How to not get combobox SelectedIndexChanged be executed on load

  Hello, As what the subject line is.... What is the method to not allow combobox SelectedIndexChanged to be executed on load... and only make it to be executed when a "USER" changes the selection value. Thanks I don't see that changing the index of a combo box at load time is at all unusual: unless you know of a better event to set a forms 'properties' (For example, loading some settings into the form). What I think is odd, though, is that it gets set back to zero: but this may be precisely the problem. Events are cascading during the form load. In which case the cascading effect needs short-circuiting; by putting a flag at the form level. I can imagine the following in the form load ev ...Show All

• .NET Development Adding Web Reference to ASPNET project

  Hi all, I'm hoping this is a simple problem that someone has seen before and can let me know how to resolve. I have created a web service which will launch an SSIS package. This has been deployed to the test server where both the SQL database and Integration services engine are installed. The web service works correctly when you use the default web service test page. What i want to be able to do is call this from an ASPNET application which contains a page using windows aurthentication which when a button is clicked launches the web service method. When i attempt to add a web reference it keeps prompting for a user name and password before it will let me add it. Will this continue to do this each time i need to call the reference, and if s ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error when Adding a component to a form

  I was creating a new form and whenever I added a listbox to the form it would generate an error: "Failed to create component 'Component'. The error message follows: 'The toolbox item could not be retrieved from the toolbox. Make sure the assembly that contains the toolbox item is correctly installed. The toolbox item raised the following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' " After wasting time trying to refresh the installation and then deinstalling / reinstalling I found the fix is somewhat simpler. Right click on the toolbox list and select 'Reset Toolbox'. That cleared this problem right up. Since I did not find a reference to this error message under this scenario anywhere, it seemed lik ...Show All
