• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer unable to load .xolm files

  Hi, I am trying to add a Sequential Workflow with definition expressed as Xaml and user code in a separate code file but due to some unobvious reasons it is not showing up in the designer,Can anybody help please Are you trying to create the workflow through the designer or just trying to load it If your xoml and class files are correct, then you should also check for any references. I mean, if you are using custom activities in your xoml workflow, then make sure your designer has reference to those assemblies as well. Hope this helps. Anandan ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb6->.NET 2.0 conversion 'ByVal sName As Any' argument for c++ 'char szName[128]' param

  what would be the appropriate .NET 2005 equivalent parameter be for this vb6 pinvoke declaration Public Declare Function foo Lib "foo.dll" ( ByVal sName As Any ) where the c++ argument for the parameter sName is is 'char szName[128]' Related question (I hope) I am confused as to when I should use 1. <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)> ByVal sVar as String rather than simply 2.

• Visual C++ System namespace ambiguity problem

  Hi, I'm new to Visual c++ and can't solve this problem. I'm writing a Windows Forms application and also have to use FMOD library to process audio data. This Library has a class called System. Unfortunately, System is also a global namespace which I have to use in Windows Forms. If I use, in the same file, the FMOD and System namespaces I get a lot of ambiguity errors (error code C2872) telling me that System is an ambiguous symbol because it could be System or FMOD::System. How can I resolve this problem "Is there a way to use MS tools to build GUIs which allows me to use native C++ " You can write an GUI app using Win32 functions directly. This is a "message-based" application tha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. upload local Dev/builds to my 360 without Creators Club account?

  Hi All, Can someone from MS tell me if I'll be able to upload my local builds to my Xbox 360 without a Creators Club subscription, once XNA, etc is out of beta I can see the 'need' for the subscription when I'm ready to distribute to others, but how about uploading local XNA game builds for testing on my own xbox 360 To me, the Creators Club is for distribution, not development. thx, protovision Thanks for the quote. So which is it, a Creators Club subscription, or some sort of subscription to (currently free) Game Studio Express It's a little disappointing that I need a subscription to upload to my own Xbox 360, but I think I get the big picture now, although the above quote mentions a subscripti ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. CDXUTDialogResourceManager cannot be deleted and recreated.

  This bug took three days to track down. It's nasty! The sympthom was that every time I moved the D3D window from my primary monitor to my secondary monitor or vice-versa, D3DXCreateFont() would have a protection fault. Eliminating all of the fonts in my code reveals that other D3D functions were also throwing protection faults. It turns out that the fault has nothing to do with D3D, but is instead in ~CDXUTDialogResourceManager() of all places! What happens is that the destructor calls two obscene little functions: CUniBuffer::Unitialize() and CDXUTIMEEditBox::Unitialize() which unloads some .dlls !!! These uninitializers are not mirrors of functions that were in the constructor. The dlls were loaded by the CUniBuffer constructor and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Professional Product key

  My MSDN subscription lapsed in March last year. I have MSDN CDs for Visual Studio 2005 Professional and now I want to install it. Although I can still log in to the MSDN subscribers' area, I don't seem to be able to view product keys anywhere. I accept that this may be because my subscription has lapsed. The only product key in the printed documentation is for VS .NET (i.e. 2005 not specified). Is the product key the same for all versions - i.e. can I use this key to activate Visual Studio 2005 Professional Thanks in advance. Thanks but I'm not sure I understand the point(s) being made here, sorry. I understand that my ability to download could be well and truly gone but I have the CDs and ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Organizational Certificate or 'Microsoft Authenticode' Code Signing Digital ID

  Hi, I am just wondering if the VeriSign Organizational Certificate is sufficient to pass the Certified for Windows Vista Logo Program or if we need to buy the much more expensive VeriSign 'Microsoft Authenticode' Code Signing Digital ID . Does anyone know Bye Sven Sven, We've just gone through this process and I realised that we were lucky getting in early. I'll answer your question first. You only need to buy the org cert. from VeriSign because that's what's required to sign up for winqual which is a requirement for Cert. For Vista. For code signing (authenticode) you can buy from any CA and use that to sign your .exe and .dll's. But you will need both types. Apparently VeriSign no ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Clipboard Help

  Hello all, good morning :) need some help with this one please: I have 6 textboxes on my form. I need to assign each textbox with a shorcut key (eg. alt + 1, atl+2 etc..) and then copy the contents to the clipboard. I take it that I would have to put the code in a timer event & would the shorcut keys still work even if the form is not displayed on the screen Thanks, Stuart Thats Brill as always ReneeC, Thank you for your time. I thought myself this would be easy, but I was kicking myself trying to find a solution, The reason I said about the timer control is becuase I need to be able to use the shorcut keys without the form being focused or visible Also how do you achieve pressing ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Calculating boundingbox

  If I have the center and zoom-level of a tile, how do I calculate the extents of the tile In other words, what are the extents of a tile I know this changes because of the mercator-projection. The new tilesource spec returns a tileContext which only holds the three values mentioned above, which I think is far from enough to create a dynamic generated layer from a different datasource based on long/lat. Especially if you have t to perform on-the-fly reprojection to Mercator. Is it possible to extract the Mercator-coordinates, and translate the zoom-value to a tile-size based on these units Yup its all fully dynamic (except IE caches the tiles on the client, so tiles you have already loaded earlier won't ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C++/CLI

  Hi all.Is it fine if i use visual C# .net tutorials and resources for creating windows forms apps and incorparate the code into C++/CLI .net I mean, C++/CLI uses the .NET Framework also to create windows forms apps right So the only thing to change is the syntax(the "." to "::" or "->", variable declarations, conditional statements, classes etc etc) if i am correct here. Meaning whatever ever code in C# has been written e.g: to make a paint prog, i could just change the variable declarations,ways the functions are declared, and other things like that involving the language syntax, correct Help would be appreciated :D Thanks Re: eating my words - there is ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Thematic maps?

  Is it possible to build thematic maps using the virtual Earth SDK For example making regions different colours based on their population density. Thanks, Andrew Morten Nielsen wrote: Of course it is possible (well at least with the new API). See http://showcase.sharpgis.net/ve for an example. See that right there is a task that is easy in MapPoint as the boundaries are already defined in the application. However for example if you had point data with the location of every person and you wanted population density for every 100m cell of a grid covering an entire country you would find that this is beyond the functionality of MapPoint. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help needed on defining Event Handlers via Function

  I am having problems associating event handling with Menu Item clicks. My application has many screens and I need to ensure the same "look & feel" for the Menus on each screen. I have created a function that can be called during a Form Load routine, that will add standard Menus & Menu options to any screen form. I need to be able to associate an appropriate Event Handling routine with, say, the Click Event for each Menu option but the Event Handler must be a different one for each Form so that it can deal specifically with the dataset displayed in that screen. I can't use WithEvents as the actual MenuItem objects are created via the public function and just added to the screen form menu I get the this exception from the ...Show All
