• Visual Studio Express Editions Need Advice To Build V6 Program with Strtok Deprecation Errors

  Hi, I have a program reportedly compiled with VS C++ V6 that I need to compile, (no using the new VS C++ Express. The only major error message preventing the build come from deprecation of the strtok() commands in the program. I have searched all over the internet, and gotten advice to swith to strtok_s or turnoff the deprecation. I can't find a step by step detail instruction on how to turnoff deprecate in VS C++ Express, nor can I find any step by step conversion instructions for a replacement command that works. For example, if I do what the compiler says, change the strtok to strtok_s or _r even the resulting build does not even recognize the commands. I am hoping that this is a simple matter for the experts among you. I just don't ...Show All

  Hi, I want to use a web browser control in my C#1.1 app. The referenced wrapper(AxInterop.ShDocVW) has to be kept on a remote machine instead of my local. So i dont want to keep a local copy of this dll and instead use the one on remote machine. Is it possible If i make the Copy Local of this dll as true, it works fine but if I make it false, i get a runtime exception of FileNotFound.

Even if I keep the dll within the application root but ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with CurrentSettings.vssettings???

  Happy 4th to all, This Fourth of July holiday I am fortunate to be visited by grandson #5. I signed him on to my Guest account and began teaching him Visual Basic. Everything was going well for the first two days and then VB Express became unusable on the Guest user account. It still works on two other user accounts. I need your assistance to fix the problem on the Guest account. I am very hesitant to let him use VB on one of the working accounts. This is a description of the problem. When opening VB Express the splash screen is displayed. Before it closes a window with the title “Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition” opens and displays the following message: The automatically saved settings file “\\Setting ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Exception Assigning an Index Buffer

  I'm getting a D3DERR_INVALIDCALL when using the Device.Indices to try to assign an index buffer. Near as I can tell the index buffer is valid and created, the specific function that is getting the exception is Device.set_Indices. Strangely the Indices seem to be set properly to an index buffer. Here is the render function: virtual public void render(mon_mesh mesh) { mesh.primeMesh(); Device tempD = mesh.CurrentDevice; tempD.Indices = mesh.ib; tempD.SetStreamSource(0, mesh.vb, 0); tempD.VertexFormat = monVert.FVF; tempD.DrawIndexedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, 0, mesh.vertCount, 0, mesh.indexCount / 3); } and the portion of the prime function that dea ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. By the numbers - why so big?

  My content, using JPG's, is roughly 14.4 MB. However, the XNB version is roughly 515 MB. About 38 times bigger than the original. Is this normal What steps do I need to take to reduce the size of this I'm just begining with my development but if I can't augment this behavior of the Framework I'll have to serverly strip down my game. Maybe, I'll have to replace Content<T> altogether ( ) Power of 2 is not the problem I guess I could go monochrome And that would eliminate item 3. Since when is an 8kb image large The issue at hand is that the framework is magnifying it 32 times. Microsoft already has the code written to read, write, and modify images in numerous formats. JPG is just one of the many that ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to void the TabIndex property so labels cannot be tabbed through?

  Is there a way to void the use of the TabIndex property I have a form with textboxes and labels, but I don't want the labels to be included in the list of controls that you "tab through". I want to be able to tab through just the text boxes, and then when finished going through all of them, it should go back to the first textbox, rather than having to go through each label before doing that. Thanks! It doesn't show up in my Intellisense either, but does it even matter In the documentation for Label.TabStop: "This property is not relevant for this class." ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETFX30SDK4VS.1033/cpref32/html/P_System_Windows_Forms_Label_TabStop.htm At any rate, if you just type it in, even without ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to connect to Oracle because MSDAORA is not registered

  I am moving a simple .NET application from 32-bit windows to 64-bit windows. I already had a lot of fun setting up my connection to Oracle after installing the Oracle client 9i because it will not connect if there are parentheses in the PATH variable. So I am currently launching Visual Studio 2005 from DOS. Using server explorer I can set up a connection to the Oracle instance and see the contents just fine. I am connecting with OleDbConnection and send a Connection String beginning with "Provider=MSDAORA; When I run I catch the following exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The 'MSDAORA' provider is not registered on the local machine.
