• Visual Studio Can't view CString values in debugger

  After adding a managed class to our application (forcing a change to _AFXDLL) we can no longer view the contents of CString variables in the debugger. The datatip and watch windows show " " for the contents of the string. We have looked at our autoexp.dat and mcee_mc.dat files but can't see anything that might be the source of the problem (that doesn't mean it isn't in one of those files, it just means we can't find it.) Can someone please help This MSDN article may help... ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question about how to close whole program

  Hey guys i have another stupid question 2 ask, apologise for my ignorace once again as this myt seem like a really stupid question. I have multiple forms for my program. I was wondering how i would close the whole program in the third form ( closing all forms) Me.Dispose() This only closes the form that i put this code in. These are just the final touches to my project for school. Would appreciate it if you guys would reply me! THANK YOU!!! :D You guys have been really helpful to me all along. Darenko, In the interests of getting it right, I would avoid using the End statement. As I said, it is a scary way to go about it. I believe in the KISS principal, but you also need to get it right ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector maths methods...

  Following a long day of writing and debugging some nasty rigid body physics code, and feeling the pain of the maths library I have to use for this C++ work, I thought I'd take another look at the XNA maths code to see if the results would be more readable (as you might hope ;). ... But my quick look at the framework docs seems to show more deficiencies than in the code I have been using all day... 1/ There is no Point3 class. This is a real pain as libraries that don't distinguish points and vectors are a right pain - transforming a point by a 4x4 matrix will result in a different result to transforming a vector. (And I don't want to resort to coding every point/vector as a homogeneous coordinate either!). There appears to be a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook COM Shim to run Managed Addin Code

  In the interest of simplifying CAS maintenance, it's been suggested we use a COM shim for our addin. The COM shim would load in IDTExtensibility2, copy down any updated or added libraries, instantiate a CLR, and then call the managed code. It's not clear whether the delegates would be assigned under COM or IL. I can think of three questions -- First, does this approach bypass the strict CAS requirements of a managed-code Addin Do all the dependencies have to be individually registered as fulltrust for this to work In other words, does this approach allow us to load any managed assemblies we want without having to deal with CAS And, second, what APIs would be used from the managed code Obviously we're working outside of IStar ...Show All

• Visual Basic Append text without using scrollbar!

  Hi everybody, In my function, I append text to a textbox. The text is very long and I want the display screen scroll to the end line. I don't want to use srollbar. Is there any way to do this Thanks for any help. If you are appending text using .AppendText and the textbox is visible at the time then it should normally scroll to the end of the text automatically. If for some reason this is not happening then just add something like: TextBox1.SelectionStart = TextBox1.Text.Length TextBox1.ScrollToCaret() ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Next .Net 3.0 release date, Orcas- When?

  I was wondering if there is another .Net 3.0 release will be coinciding with the projected RC1 release of Vista in the next couple of weeks, and if we should expect a .Net 3.0 RTM at the same time Vista is at the RTM stage. On a side note, although we're all very grateful to have Visual Studio 2005, has anyone heard when we will have complete visual tools for WPF development The current offering isn't of much use! Thanks in advance, Josh Thank you so much, Rob and Ashish. As far as the tools go, there's seldom a time I can load even the simplest of the WPF samples into the visual designer without seeing the familiar "Whoops!" screen. If I begin a XAML document using the designer, everything ...Show All
