• Visual Studio Express Editions is VS2005EE with .net able to do all you can do with mfc?

  sorry for the questions - i dont know what i'm doing (other than having fun...) all the developers at work use mfc, they have no knowledge of .net programming. is mfc better than .net i.e. are their limitations to .net and should a newbie aspire to getting the paid-for version of visual studio instead.... Or is .net just a new way of doing this, and everything mfc can do can also be done in .net once one knows how to use it Mark Trying to make you feel better: MFC is far insuperior to the .NET class libraries. But you can do certain things in MFC that are easier to do in .NET. And the other way around. It is a completely different way of programming. Think of it this way: they'll be the dinosaurs ...Show All

• .NET Development Upload Data To HTTPS via Proxy problems

  ok.. I've seen quite a few questions about this issue but no responses, so let me try again. I'm trying to upload some data via the request headers to a page on a secured site, the page is accessed through the office proxy. Through IE and the appropraite proxy settings I can browse to the page just fine. When I use a webclient to call downloaddata on the page I get the webexception "The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server." which has an inner IOexception of "The operation is not allowed on non-connected sockets." from what I could trace out of the headers I can see that IE sets this when requesting the page Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive But when I call it th ...Show All

• Visual C++ memory leak for socket program

  I got memory leak after running a socket program. I checked for "new" and "delete" socket, they both seem fine. So I couldn't figure out what's wrong.

• Visual FoxPro Variable '_REPORTOUTPUT' is not found.

  I have had a few users start complaining that they are getting the following error when running reports lately: Variable '_REPORTOUTPUT' is not found. I have verified that they have ReportOutput.App on their machines and the users have the proper access to it. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the VFP9 SP1 redistributables including the report functions. I have also tried setting the _ReportOutput variable in the code before the reports run. Originally they were able to run reports with no problems and they say they haven't updated anything on their machines. Again, this is only happening to a few clients and not everyone. What am I missing Any help or suggestions anyone could provide would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless Merge: Am I missing something?

  Step 1:  I create a branch from _Trunk called _Branch1 and check it in Step 2:  I make a small change to a file in _Branch1 (changeset 10) and check it in Step 3:  I create a branch from _Trunk called _Branch2 and check it in Now, I would like to merge the changes I had already performed on _Branch1 into _Branch2. Since they are not directly related, I know I must perform a baseless merge. I use this command: tf merge /version:C10~C10 /baseless "C:\TFS\Product\branches\_Branch1" "C:\TFS\Product\branches\_Branch2" /recursive The conflict dialog pops up with the file that I changed.  Good.  I click on "Resolve..." and the "resolve version conflict" dialog box shows up.  Good.  I choose t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Context menu customisation for the outlook word editor

  I am writing an add-in to Outlook 2007 using VSTO 2005 SE for which I need to add a context menu item that appears in a new mail inspector window when I right click over the body of the email. I was able to do the same back when winword.exe was run as the default editor in outlook 2003, but now it seems that the editor is run in-proc (I tried accessing the object model through the wordeditor object of the inpector but it looks like the object model and access to the corresponding commandbars object is blocked when the document is open as an email). The command bar needs to be added to the word-editor’s context menu and nowhere else in Outlook. Could anyone help me out on how this can be done or point me to some resource that’ll ...Show All

• Visual Basic writing ANSII/ASCII characters using streams

• Visual C++ Windows Live Messenger requiring msvcr80.dll!

  I'm using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (Swedish). Yes, vcredist will install msvcr80.dll and others of VC++ 2005. The location depends on your target OS. IIRC 2000 does not have WinSxs so it uses system32 instead. XP and 2003 use WinSxS. Release apps which have been built against the runtime of VC++ 2005 should have a manifest embedded which ensures that the correct version is found. I don't know if the messenger has that manifest embedded. I guess you might see some problems because of the messenger beta you installed. To see which version of msvcr80.dll is loaded you could use depends.exe which comes with VC++. Open the messenger exe with depends.exe and start it from within depends. You should see some output about dl ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Why I can not read all kind of registry?

• SQL Server Bitwise & operator does not work

  I would like to do something like a SELECT * FROM Files WHERE (Attributes & ) but the & operator isn't recognized. I looked at the documentation sample for it and in the sample the & operator isn't used in the WHERE clause so I thought that might be the reason but I still can't get the operator to work. So even the doc sample code for it doesn't work. I got this to work by rewriting the WHERE clause as (Attributes & = ). However, the VS query designer can't parse the bitwise operators. ...Show All
