• Visual Studio Team System More about modifying web parts on Team Portal

  Hi, After applying the hot fix to the previous problem I reported, I now found that any web parts I want to add can only be added to the left column of the web page, there is no other choices in the drop down list. Is this a bug too or is there anything I need to do to add web parts to the right column Thanks, Maggie This bug is related to WSS 2.0 SP2 that appears when you change WSS 2.0 to use .NET 2.0 from .NET 1.1. You can get the hotfix from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915746 . ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC: How to wait for end of CWinThread based threads?

  I have my thread function which was created using CWinThread T = AfxBeginThread(myFunc,NULL); My question is how do I wait for the end of this thread Like in win32 there was a WaitForSingleObject function.  And another thing, do I need to delete T after I finish using the thread Thanks :)   spree wrote: I have my thread function which was created using CWinThread T = AfxBeginThread(myFunc,NULL); My question is how do I wait for the end of this thread Like in win32 there was a WaitForSingleObject function.

• Visual Studio Install VS.Net 2002 on WinXP - VS Installer Launches Installation of Dell Modem on Hold in Spanish!!

  This is very, very weird. I had VS.Net 2002 installed on Win2K, which crashed on Windows Auto Update, couldn't recover it. So I installed WinXP SP2 from scratch on new drive partition. Was able to re-install VS-97, VS-6 with no problem. On re-installing VS.Net 2002, I was prompted to install Windows components, plus security updates, IIS, FrontPage extensions, etc. I could not get the Windows Components installation CD to launch from the VS.Net installation window, so instead of select components, I installed all components on the Windows Components CD. That seemed to satisfy the pre-req, so I was able to launch the VS.Net installation--I THOUGHT--BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS VERY WEIRD--instead of installing VS.Net 2002, the installer launch ...Show All

• .NET Development What does the grave signify?

• Visual C++ Can't optimize my project

  I want to optimize my project's size, so I selected the Minimize size (/01) option, but I can't compile it: cl : Command line error D8016 : '/O1' and '/RTC1' command-line options are incompatible What can I do The /RTC1 compiler option means "Enable run-time error check features". It seems that this option cannot be specified together with "Minimize size". Therefore you have to disable it. It can be found at Project Properties --> C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Basic Runtime Check . Change this value to "Default". I hope it helps. It seems that you are trying to optimize your program based on "Debug" compiler configuration. In my opinion it is better first to ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to validate the date entered in the text box? - Vb.net or VS 2005

  Hi I have textbox. If the user enter the date higher than the present date (today) then message box should display (warning message) to the user. I am using VB.net I don't want to use datetimepicker or calender Advance thanks  You will probably want to use the MaskedEditControl to enforece the user to enter a "valid" date. Then use DateTime.TryParse () to parse the inputted text. If you are using 1.x you may have to put a DateTime.parse inside of a Try/Catch exception block. Then just compare the dates. You will probably have to compare month+day+year or dayofyear and year to ensure that the user has not picked a date greater then today. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Simple math problem

  This isn't exactly a VB question, but it's for a VB program I'm working on. If a^b=c, how do I find b given a &c   For example, if 2^5=32, how do I get 5 given the 2 & the 32 What I'm trying to do is take an integer and round it to the nearest power of 2.

• Visual Studio Team System Merge error: TF14087 "Not all of the deletion is being undeleted"

  When trying to merge from one line to another, I receive the following error: TF14087: Cannot undelete '$/TFProject/TargetBranch/VSProject/SubFolder/File.aspx.resx' because not all of the deletion is being undeleted. With the Show deleted items in Source Control option on, I've checked for deleted items in both the source and target directory so I don't see what is not being 'undeleted' so I'm not sure what I can do to allow the merge to happen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Marty You're right, the dialog I'm thinking of is only used for rename-rename conflicts. Merge doesn't detect namespace conflicts. What I'd do is rename (or delete) the file & checkin before doing the merge ...Show All

• Visual C++ Several questions relating to Windows Service creation

  Hi, I actually had several questions that I was wondering if people could help me with: 1. This is probably a stupid question, but I am creating a Windows Service in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 standard edition and I noticed that it appears to default to using managed C++/CLR. I would rather NOT use managed C++ for this application and was looking around for a way to avoid using managed C++. Is there any way to avoid that and to use only native code 2. Along the same line, in said Windows Service I use the type CString. Visual Studio 2005's help files instruct you to include cstringt.h for MFC applications and atlstr.h for non-MFC applications. I have tried using both with the same results. Specifically, it is complaining about t ...Show All
