Visual C++ std string assignments failing in debug in VS2005
In a C++ DLL that works fine when built with VS2003, upon building with VS2005 it crashes every time in the debug build upon attempting to execute a simple std string assignment, e.g.: #include <string> using namespace std; extern "C" __declspec ( dllexport ) void * DoSomething(HINSTANCE hInst, HWND hWndParent) { string boo; boo = "abcd" ; // exception here ... } Upon exception, the call stack is: msvcp80.dll!std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >::_Eos(unsigned int _Newsize=0x001d1d78) Line 2003 + 0x15 bytes C++ msvcp80.dll!std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >::eras ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Programming Noobs
I'm currently going to school for game development and have absolutely no experience with programming or any of the scripting languages. Will the GSE be "beginner friendly" or will I need to obtain some prior knowledge of certain tools in order to be able to use this platform Thanks, 93 An indie XBox Live Arcade is crucial ! And a XNA Club secret decoder ring! And some kind of temporary tattoo! Those are the three pillars of this initiative, without one of which the entire project will come crashing down. 93_confirmed - don't let anyone frighten you away from programming. When it comes down to it, coding is not that hard - as long as you don't bite off more than you can chew. Think of ...Show All
SQL Server How could I notify new subscribers with previous data?
Hi! I have my NS running. Subscribers are reciving notifications right. How could I send past notifications to new users . Could it be possible I think we have all the previous data (the event data table as the notification table) what do you think is the best way or approach to do it i.e: Insert an action item asigned to a user in my DB. If the user has a subscription to it, NS generate a notification and send an email to the user. In my case this user is not a subscriber yet, I add him 2 days after. How could I send the notification thas had been created for him before Regards ;) If I ever have this problem, I will probably pla ...Show All

SQL Server MSSQL Express 2005 performance so inconsistent!
Hi, just wondering if anyone noticed the MSSQL Express 2005 is so inconsistent with its performance. I was testing out a query with 2 joins, with the main table having about 13,600,000 records. With the same criteria value, sometimes it finished executing in 3 secs. sometimes almost a 1 min. Could it be just the volume of the data This is really driving me crazy! Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Rick.. Hi, I took home the database and loaded it up in my machine this weekend. I think the inconsistency I as experiencing at work has something to do with my machine setup. In the office, my PC has WinXP 64 Pro. At home I have just the plain WinXP Pro.

Visual Studio Team System Evaluating Check-in Policies during Shelveset Creation ..
Is there any way to *require* that the check-box for "Evaluate policies and check-in notes before shelving" is selected when a shelveset is created Additionally, is there a way to detect (even by inspecting the Shelveset object programmatically) that when a particular shelveset was created, whether the check-in policies were evaluated or not I see that the Shelveset class has a property named "PolicyOverrideComment", and I guess this property allows me to detect whether any policy was overridden. However, how do I find out if the polcies were evaluated in the first place We receive certain code submissions from distributed teams via shelvesets and would like to know whether they have passed the policy evaluation p ...Show All
