• Visual Studio How To Change Developer Preference Once It Is Set

  This may sound like a very dumb question, but when you first open Visual Studio 05 after installing it you are asked to set what kind of developer preference you want. When I did this I accidentally selected Visual Basic developer and I'm missing half of the tools I normally use, as well as the ability to switch between debug and release versions. I know there has to be a place I can go to reset it but I have look over every option and for the life of me can't find where it's hidden at. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeremie Grund Close all of your instances of Visual Studio and restart a single instance from the command line with the /resetuserdata flag and if you install ...Show All

• Visual Studio Way to avoid repeating targets

  Is there a better way to do this in MSBuild Is there an iteration mechanism that I missed in the documentation < Target Name = " Candle " DependsOnTargets = " CandleA;CandleB;CandleC " /> < Target Name = " MakeIntDir " > < MakeDir Directories = " $(IntDir) " /> </ Target > <!-- This is repetitive and error-prone. --> < Target Name = " CandleA " DependsOnTargets = " MakeIntDir " > < Exec Command = " $(Candle) $(CandleFlags) -out $(IntDir)A.wixobj A.wxs || del $(IntDir)A.wixobj " /> </ Target > < Target Name = " CandleB " DependsOnTargets = " MakeIntDir " & ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Web Services - C++ - VS 2005

  When I add a Web Service in C# - no problem. When I use C++ in VS 2005 I get: _CE_ACTIVEX was not defined because this Windows CE SDK does not have DCOM. _CE_ACTIVEX could be caused to be defined by defining _CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA, but it is recommended that this be done only for single-threaded apps. _ATL_NO_HOSTING was defined because _CE_ACTIVEX was not defined. So I define _CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA My question is - what is different about C# that I don't get the error. If I create and call the Web Service from a thread I create would this be good thing Try this. ::CoInitialize(NULL); ObjWeb.SetProxy();   // Do your stuff   ObjWeb.Uninitialize(); ::CoUninit ...Show All

• Visual Basic Stupid question....How do I instantiate a form from another form?

  I'm very new to vb.net. Just wondering how I can start up another form from another form's button. Thanks, and sorry for the newbie quiestion. Can you tell me how to "declare" these I havent found any help related to how to control the number of calls to open forms. the only one was in C++ and dont know how to translate that into Visual. Example of my "menu" code , inside form1 ( wich is the "PARENT" or MDIparent of Form3 ) form3 = displays a picturebox with the file that opens using the menu in form1. form3 can be called unlimited times.

• .NET Development Need a way to sniff DLL API calls

  Hi all, I have a Software that's based of two components (it's based on much more components than that but i will do my best to simplefy my query) an EXE file and a DLL. The Exe file is referenced to the DLL file (it has classes there and all sort of data types...) and it create classes and uses the functions that are stored in this dll. What i want to do is to have some kind of an outsider DLL that will basically sniff what the EXE file is doing (when the EXE file will create a class X for example - i want that this sniffer will throw a messsage about it, when it calls a function of X.Function() i want the sniffer to catch this call also and throw a message about it too). my question is: is this thing can be made without implemen ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Assign to Vector2?

  This is probably an easy question, how do I assign to a Vector2 This was my first bad guess: Game1.Players .Position = (0f,0f); but it didn't work, I know I can assign to the .X and .Y of the Vector2 but I want to do it in one simple step. Also can you do it without creating a new Vector 2 Cheers Alfons Because what I heard it's bad to create unnecessary new objects when running the solution on the Xbox360. And I want to do it in one line instead of: Game1.Players .position.X = 0f; Game1.Players .position.Y = 0f; But I guess I can always create a method in my Player object. ...Show All

• .NET Development SecurityException, why?

  Hi, I am trying to use IIOPChannel.dll from http://iiop-net.sourceforge.net. It is strongly named assembly. I have another strongly named assembly which calls IIOPChannel.dll. So the order is: program -> mydll.dll -> IIOPChannel.dll. The problem is that I get a Security Exception when mydll.dll tries to link IIOPChannel.dll: SecurityException.Action = LinkDemand. Message: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers. When I call IIOPChannel.dll directly from my program there is no SecurityException. Unfortunately that is not an option as mydll.dll is required. I have given the assemblies full trust by using caspol: caspol -af mydll.dll. I have also tried setting the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute on the IIOPchannel. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Weird "Goto" statement

  I was reading an article entitled "The Case for Virtual Register Machines," where it had this code snippet: typedef void *Inst; void engine() { static Bytecode program[] = { iadd /* ... */ }; Bytecode *ip; Inst dispatch_table = { &&nop, &&aload_null, .... }; int *sp; goto dispatch_table[*ip]; iadd: dest = ip[1]; s1 = ip[2]; s2 = ip[3]; reg[dest]=reg[s1]+reg[s2]; ip+=4; goto dispatch_table[*ip]; } I've never seen "goto" used that way.
