• Windows Forms Setting STAThreadAttribute

  I have an application with an event handler that waits for HW events and then reports them to a server via the WebBroswer.navigate() method. I am getting an error when I invoke WebBroswer.navigate() saying: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment." Looking though the documentation, and Googling for info, it seems that I shoud be setting the thread to "STAThreadAttribute". I am confused because it says to do it in the main() function and I don't have one. I have two classes and I set both of them to <System.Serializable()>. Does that have the same effect I also went through and set every Sub to Public Shared just to b ...Show All

• SQL Server Union in MDX

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Profiler w/o Visual Studio

  I have been running the Performance Profiler through Visual Studio and through the commnad line utilities on my development machine without a problem. My goal is to take these command line utilities and copy them to a testing machine that does not have Visual Studio and profile the app on that hardware. (I copied them from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Team Tools\Performance Tools) After I instrument the assemblies I run the exe from the command line and I keep getting the message "MyApp has encountered a problem and neeeds to close. We are sorry for any inconvienence" with the Send and Don't Send buttons. I am testing this with a very simple application that just has a few buttons and displays a few message ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System 64-Bit Support In Visual Studio (For When I Upgrade To Vista)

  I want to upgrade an x64 AMD system running Windows XP 32-bit to a 64-bit Vista OS, but I'm unsure of a few things. 1. Is there a 64-bit version of Visual Studio (I'm thinking no) 2. Can I create 64-bit applications using Visual Studio and C# (I know C++ has a 64-bit compiler, but what about the other languages) 3. What are the future plans for x64 and the development tools 1. There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio, per se, but Visual Studio will run in a 32-bit compatability mode known as Windows on Windows (WOW). So fear not, you can proceed with the upgrade. 2. In addition to C++, you can also use C# and Visual Basic to create applications which will run on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions o ...Show All

• Visual C++ Beginner question - ExitInstance()

  Hello all, I have a very basic question: How does one go about overriding your app's ExitInstance() function I'm using VC++ 2005, so I tried right-clicking on the app class in the Class View , selecting "Add->Add Function...". Of course, I know the function name ("ExitInstance") and I know I need to select the "virtual" check box, but I don't know the return type, and the parameter list should be empty but the "parameter type" list box doesn't contain such an option (i.e. I must pick a parameter type). Anyone Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and White Screen

  I have a sequence of webpages (200 or so) with navigation and when I sequence through them, intermittently IE7 will simply display a blank white page and a "Done" message.  Pressing F5 will load the page properly.  This does not happen in IE6 and the frequency of white pages seemed to decrease as the IE7 betas progressed.   It happens if I am using IE7 on the webserver, from my desktop on the local network, or at a remote dial-up account.  If I put the HTML pages in simple ASPX wrappers, it never happens.  I've also loaded the content on several different servers and experience the same problems.  Any ideas   I can post a link to a sample if that would help.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Datagridview Comboboxes

  I have been searching for info about dtatgridview dropdowncomboboxes. I have found all the needed info except how to display info that is available in the dropdown. For example in a list with 5 items say Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, and Item5 there would be a selection into the database of various members of this list. If it was a textbox column displaying them would be easy, how do I do the same with a combo box This is probably an easy question but I am stumped.
