• Visual Studio Team System Development enviromnet setup

  Hi, We are tried to dsign a new developmnet enviromnet and upgrade from VS2003 to VS2005. In order to benefit from the features that VS2005 Team edition has, we think to have one release VS2005 team edition to benefit from the architecture release and many Profesional release.

• .NET Development Are CLR's backward compatible with earlier frameworks?

  In udder words, if I have a .NET dll that was written with framework 1.0 or 1.1, can I include that dll in a project using the 2.0 framework and 2.0 CLR and have it work properly Tanks, Israeli ones. ahmedilyas wrote: I think though you still should have .NET 1.1 installed (or the earlier framework version of that dll which it was created in) otherwise perhaps it may not run - try it and see what happens. I'm 75% that you would probably need the other framework installed along with it to make sure it runs. No you don't need the older version installed. There can only be one version loaded anyway in a process, and that will be 2.0 (or later) if the startup executable requires it. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Any scripting support?

  I haven't found any info on scripting support in XNA. And the disccussion on supported languages seems to mean only C# is usable with XNA. So we cannot incorporate any script engine What about the DynamicMethod class As written in another thread the necessary methods are currently not supported on the XBox 360 version of the framework yet. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Load Report Failed, Access Denied

  I have scoured the web for a solution to this issue and have come up empty handed. We have an intranet application that uses ASP.NET 2.0 and Crystal Reports to generate and display reports to users. The issue is that the Reports are on a network resource separate from the webserver. What I am experiencing is this: When I impersonate a user, I am able to traverse the report files in the folder on a separate server, however when I run the Crystal Report Viewer for any report, I get an access denied error: Server Error in '/TreborNet' Application. Hi Aaeryn, Would you be able to load the remote reports via a web service If possible, I think that will solve your issue. There is some information in the documentation about loadi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Linker Error with STL on Release Mode

  Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2003. Each time I use some STL library like string, fstream... I get many linking errors but only when compiling in Release mode. I get LNK2001 and LNK2019... I've been looking in the forum for some answers but I don't get it right. PLEASE, HELP Code will generate this error message if it references something (like a function, variable, or label) that the linker can’t find in all t1he libraries and object files it searches. In general, there are two reasons this error occurs: what the code asks for doesn’t exist (the symbol is spelled incorrectly or uses the wrong case, for example), or the code asks for the wrong thing (you are using mixed versions of t ...Show All
