• Visual C++ Hello World code compiles succesfully but doesn't run

  I will apreciate if you can help me with my following trouble as I'm trying to find a solution for the last 2-3 days. I've got a simple hello world code (see below) and I'm trying to build an executable. For compiling and linking I'm using "cl -GX hellow.cpp" and the operation completes succesfully without errors. hellow.cpp: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "hello world\n" ; return 0; } However, when I execute the derived executable the "hello world" text isn't displayed. Any clues why Note: I'm using Visual Studion 2003 .NET and the compiler is ver. 13.10.3077 for 80x86. Also, I've tested the code on another PC with the same software and works like a swe ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strange Compiler Error!!!!!!!!

  Hello, I have recently begun programming in DirectX. I am compiling a single file(.cpp), that requires nothing but a link to DirectX in Visual Studio 2005 Professional (Which I own). I have linked everything to the DirectX SDK files, but I receive the following errors. error C2065: 'index' : undeclared identifier error C2228: left of '.x' must have class/struct/union error C2228: left of '.y' must have class/struct/union These seem familiar with "C" style errors, but I'm using C++. I might have the compiler settings wrong, so that it could think that it was C, not C++, as .x, and .y is straight C++ so somethign is wrong here, there is nothing wrong with the code, as it is from a book and have given it to other ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting volume levels with IAudioVolumeLevel

  Hello, I've been trying to set the level of a particular part by using the IAudioVolumeLevel interface of the API. I can Activate a valid instance of the interface, and when I call GetLevelRange on it, I get a min value of -34.5, a max value of 12, and a step value of 1.5. However if I loop through the valid step values and set them with SetLevelUniform, while comparing the value of the volume level slider in the Control Panel (which goes from 1-100), I get unexpected results. The number on the slider (and volume from the speaker) remains at 0 for the first 8 iterations of the loop until I get to a level of -24 for the SetLevelUniform call, at which point the slider value moves to 1, where it remains until the 8th iteration in the loop ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No typedef and no Include. . .

  Are these VBA programmers writing the .Net framework and languages Many of you probably already know this, as I'm arriving late to the party. I wanted to use the typedef equivalent but apparently not in C#. Then of course I thought I'd try the #include -- maybe so, if I wanted comments (I gather). The end result: Common.cs using System; namespace <yoursHere> { using ID = System.Int32; public class objID { private ID itsID; public objID( ID theID ) { itsID = theID; } public ID ID { get { return itsID; } set { itsID = value; } } } } Did I miss something Why not just: class AClass { public uint itsID; } The reasons why you need ty ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XBAP size

  Hi, When I publish my XBAP application, the following four files get copied into the xbap directory, in Debug or Release mode: Draft.PresentationDesignMarkup.dll (408KB) PresentationDesignCore.dll (184KB) PresentationDesignDevelopper.dll (372KB) PresentationDesignFramework.,dll (84KB) This adds up to about a megabyte minimum size for the XBAP, before any of my code gets included. This is kind of heavy for lightweight applications, and I don't understand why these dlls aren't included in the 3.0 runtime. Is this still going to be the case after .NET 3.0 RTMs Hi, Today, there is a known bug in the Orcas extensions. The references to the above DLLs have "CopyLocal" set to True.
