• Visual Studio How to build a project with one-cpp-file-based multi obj files using vs2003?

  In the project I am working on, there is a cpp file that contains conditional compiling and 5 obj files should be generated from it based on different defined variables. What is the right way to do to build this project with visual studio 2003 Usually I set the preprocessor definations to define specific variables to be checked by the compiler, but I have no idea how to set different definations for one file within a project. Suggestions are appreciated. rich ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot use usernameForCertificateSecurity with IIS application pool custom account

  Hi, I am using web service secured by the WSE 3.0 usernameForCertificateSecurity policy. The service is running on Windows 2003, IIS 6.0.

• Visual Basic Trigonometry Woes

  Ahh, it's good to be back. Did y'all miss me Oh well, here's my question. I have asked this in the C# forums, but I am also very keen as to how this could be done in VB.NET as well, so I thought I'd pitch it at you guys, too: I am having a bit of difficulty with coding some trigonometric functions. The primary goal I have at the moment is to find the two unknown angles in a right-angle triangle of which I know all 3 dimensions. While I know how to do this in theory, finding the code to accomplish this is proving difficult. For example: I have a triangle with a base of 6cms, a height of 5cms and thus a hypotenuse of ~7.81. It is a right-angle triangle and thus one of the three angles is 90 degrees. How can I find the other two angl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista No show on samples

  Ok, IE file version of 7.0.5450.4, .Net 3 CTP (as sandbox instructions), card selector no show on samples, fully able to login to Kim's site, can select and send card to sandbox, but site is "Unable to service my request". Why Luke Hi, Yer Ok, is [ assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion ( "3.0.4307.0" )] Don't think it's a problem with CardSpace, or the samples, sure they work well, The samples have the same code as Kim's site login and the sandbox login, both of these display the card selector What happens, while opening sample 1 (although it's the same for all), the page appears, the annoying bar that block content, get rid of that, click the button and . ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Recording Audio on Smartphone [C#]

  Hi guys, I know there are a lot of audio related questions here on the forums, but I've been trawling through them all to find the best way to record audio for an application I'm developing on a smarthpone. I didn't realise there was so much involved in just trying to record audio heh. I'm not very good at understanding the whole Platform Invoke thing and to be honest, I can't even get my VS2005 to recognise the [DllImport...], perhaps I'm not using the correct using directive Any help you guys can offer would be great. Essentially, what I need to know is: How to utilise unmanaged code for C# to record/play audio I have looked at the MSDN information on the code but it goes over my head a little and like i said, I can't e ...Show All

  I built an MFC application and now I have 2 questions: - Do I need .NET Framework to run MFC application built in VS 2003 or VS 2005 - How can I make the Visual Studio automatically put the library files (*.DLL) in the same folder as the executable file (*.EXE) as I compile the project Thanks in advance.

• Visual C# Need a real expert's help (C# <-> C Lib)

  Hi, I need help from someone who understands Windows, .NET and C# inside-out . I'm trying to get a library written in C to function with my C# program. I understand that there is no way to get a .lib file to integrate with C#, and since I have C code in the library, I also cannot compile the library as managed code. I've tried all kinds of options to wrap or recompile the library, but I just cannot get it to go. At the moment I am able to build an unmanaged DLL instead of the library, but that is as far as I've come because I can't seem to use the DLL for extern functions (no such entry point). Can someone please explain what is going on here Am I able to link to an unmanaged DLL from C# Why can't I compile C code as C++ by specif ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Backup hangs, server freezes

  We have SQL 2000 running on Server 2003. The server has 4 GB RAM, RAID 1 and has the /3GB switch in Boot.ini. We have 6 databases, the largest is about 14 GB. Until recently I could use Enterprise Manager to perform database backups to a folder on the same server but now the operation fails. After selecting the location for the backup and clicking OK, the hard drive light comes on but goes out after 15 - 30 seconds. The progress bar does not move. I've waited and waited but nothing further happens and the server doesn't respond. The only solution is to push the power button and let the server re-boot. Very occasionally the backup will run for a minute or two and the progress bar might get to about one third of the way across, (in which cas ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why is the IsMouseOver trigger not firing any more?

  Hi! I've got a TextBox which should change it's background to a grey-white gradient when the mouse hovers over it and to red-white when it is selected (while it's simply white as long as neither the one nor the other is true). The problem is: The isMouseOver trigger doesn't fire once the IsKeyboardFocusWithin trigger was activated. Why I'm not using EventTriggers instead: As mentioned above, i need conditions (which aren't implemented in the below example). Does anyone have any idea what I could do about it Thanks a lot! <Storyboard x:Key="GotFocus">     <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(GradientBrush.GradientStops)[0].(GradientStop.C ...Show All
