• Visual C++ linkage error when using _DEBUG with multi-threaded dll (as runtime libraries)

  Hi, We work on a project and would like to be able to use some dll's in release and some in debug. There for and since we use stl we wanted to change our runtime libraries (for the debug build) to use the "multi-threaded dll" and not the "multi-threaded debug dll". doing so created a link error: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp___CrtDbgReportW as I understand things this shouldn't have happend (I guess it's new to VC++ 2005 due to the runtime checks of iterators). I have found 3 ways to solve it but none is what I would like to use. 1. removing the _DEBUG from the preprocessor definitions. 2. undef the _SECURE_SCL before every include to stl. 3. define _imp___CrtDbgReportW as our own function. here is an ...Show All

• SQL Server How to specify input parameters?

  I'm very new to SQL Server so please forgive me if this question is ridiculously simple. I have to upgrade the report engine from one that was used in a legacy VB6 app to a C#.net app. In doing so, I'm looking at assorted reports that came out of the old app. Here is the SQL code for one of them: SELECT (LTRIM(STR(From_To,10,0)) + '-' + LTRIM(STR(From_To + 49,10,0))) AS Bonus_Earned, COUNT (Empl_ID) AS Men, round(SUM (SumDollars),2) AS Group_Earn, round((SUM (SumDollars) / COUNT (Empl_ID)),2) AS Calc0 FROM (SELECT CONVERT (int, round (SumDollars / 50, 2)) * 50 AS From_To, SumDollars, Empl_ID FROM (SELECT round(SUM (Actual_Hours_Dollars.Incentivedollars * Contract_History.Bonus_Pct / 100), 2) AS SumDollars, employees.Empl_ID FROM ((Employe ...Show All

• Visual C# DLL Returns object {string[]}

  Greetings, Calling a DLL method that returns an array of strings, but I can't cast to string[]; object o = myMethod(); string[] s = (string[])o;    //generates "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String[\*]' to type 'System.String[]'. (I had to put the \* in, without the \, it treats it as a different [\*] as a different char) The Autos window shows the data properly; [1] "String1" [2] "String2" Thanks for the reply, but object o = myMethod(); returns something which shows up in the Autos Window of VS as type "object {string[]}" with {Dimensions:[1..3] and the elements in o are of type "string". It is clearly an array of strings. object o is an object, not an array, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Iterating through a given component type in a VB form

  Hello all, I am looking for a way to iterate through a given component type in a VB form. For example, if I want to go through all the buttons found in a given form and change their text to "XYZ", is there perhaps a "For Each" technique to do that The alternative is an ugly hardcoding of the button names, in the above example, and changing their text one by one ... not what I want. Cheers all. N. Farr Hi, the following code runs through all controls, put directly on your form and sets new text of all controls that are buttons: For Each control As Control In Me .Controls Dim myButton As Button = TryCast (control, Button) If myButton IsNot Nothin ...Show All

• Visual C# Refresh Property Grid Values

  Sorry, but I had to repost this in the C# forum because no one answered me in the Windows Forms forum. Say I have an object, "oFoo", and I assigned oFoo to a PropertyGrid on my form. oFoo also has a .CurrentValue property. If I have a TrackBar (tBar) on my form, and when the user scrolls the TrackBar, oFoo's .CurrentValue is updated respectively. How do I refresh the CurrentValue so that it shows up correctly in the PropertyGrid Right now, the only way I can do that is by refreshing the entire PropertyGrid, but I would think there would be a better, more standard way of doing this. I've tried using RefreshProperties(RefreshProperties.All), but it doesn't even refresh the value in the property grid, so I'm pretty stuck ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Business Objects & Column Names

  Hello, I could use some assistance with what I had thought would be a simple problem... I have several classes, however let us say that we are going to bind to a (simple for the purpose of the question) class defined as: public class Person { private string _firstName; public string FirstName { get { return _firstName; } set {_firstName = value; } } Public Person() { } } When binding to such data, the column names are derived by the name of the public properties defined on the class. In this case, I would end up with a column called 'FirstName'. How can I intercept and provide a different name when the class is being bound In this example, I simply would want the column name to be 'First Name'... but I hope you can ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with SOAP Lite client error problems - CGI code

  Hi, I have been working on a soap client project for over a week now and can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I am not an expert using Perl or SOAP so any help would be "greatly" appreciated.

• Windows Forms Height limit

  Hi all I am using C# in VS.Net 2005. I have found that I cannot set the height of a form greater than 1036. Does anyone know if 1036 is absolutely the maximum for a form's height or any way to change the limit Thanks, Whatever it's doing, I don't think it's that advanced. The screen I was developing on was 1280x1024 and it allowed me to make it 1036 high, indicating some sort of preset limit for a certain range of resolutions. I didn't turn up anything either. It seems to be an undocumented 'feature' of the designer. ...Show All
