• .NET Development Console app as remotable object

  I thought I'd post this question here as I couldn't find a more suitable forum: I'm trying to run a console application as a remotable object but have realised that as a console app doesn't produce a DLL then I'm unable to add a reference to it for the remoting server. Is there a way to achieve this Yes, but you'd have to create your own remotable object (MarshalByRef) that would accept calls and modify the state of the console accordingly. As a matter of interest, why do you want to do this ...Show All

• Visual C++ ComCollection from VC6 to VC8

  Hi all, another "hot" problem when I compile a VC8 project ported from VC6. I have a ComCollection class where I have defined: typedef vector< CComPtr<T> > COLLECTION_VECTOR; typedef COLLECTION_VECTOR::iterator COLLECTION_ITERATOR; Unfortunately the COLLECTION_VECTOR typedef isn't accepted by the system. Here is the error: Error 3 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int Any idea is well accepted. In any case, thanx for your time. Marcello This is a C++ question but you posted it in the C# forum. I'm moving your question to the C++ forum. Michael Taylor - 12/18/06 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. My Game's "Engine" So Far

  So using my game engine (I hate that phrase, it should really be called a game code library), I made a quick little 2D shootemup scroller in a few hours for my girlfriend. That's when I realized how powerful my code has gotten in just a few days of work. So, I guess that means it's time for a vanity post :) Right now, I have these mid-level components implemented - StaticSprite AnimatedSprite Tile TileLayer TileMap GuiMouse All of the components are serializable as well. Here's what I need to do next - Particle AnimationEditor TileMapEditor ParticleEditor The only problem with the editors is the lack of a GUI system. I don't really want to write another GUI system. I wrote one really crappy one ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VB.net mobile 5.0 application Cab File...please help!!!

  All of a sudden when i build my app, then I build my Cab File the Cab file itself is over 2mb...it used to be under 1...and it does not work has anyone else had this happen...is there a fix... cannot deploy new vrsions.... thanks in advance Mase NETCF V2 CAB is over 5 MB while it used to be around 2MB in V1 and it works. Must be a problem with your CAB but since you've provided no information I can not say what's wrong or how to fix it. Here's something rather obvious: - Removing stuff from CAB makes it smaller. Make sure you don't have anything you don't need. - Compressing CAB makes it smaller - required for all SmartPhone devices, can be use on WM 5.0 PPC. ...Show All

• Visual Studio integration of clearcase in vs2003 and vs2005 behaves differently

  hi, I have some third party implementation of clearcase integration with Visual studio. It works absolutely fine in vs2003 environment . However when I try the same in vs2005 env it create some temp files by name like "~sakeaa30dc101c6e236.sln" and something similar temp files corresponding to few more files. I do not understand why thes files get created. The properties say "Temporary file created by Visual studio to test clearase capabilties.." These files create problems when I add one more project to same place and try checking in. the project is registered by string "MSSCCI:clearcase" as SCC provider well there are few more differences in behavior in VS2005 .

• Visual C++ WM_KEYUP event not working....

  I want to get extended key (i.e. Enter, Shift, Del etc) pressed in the EditBox. I have added WM_KEYUP event for that but that event is not called. I don't know why I don't want to create sub-class of Edit. Can anybody let me know what can be the problem My method is: void CTest_WinDlg::OnKeyUp(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default MessageBox("Key up called....."); CDialog::OnKeyUp(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags); } Did you add a ON_WM_KEYUP entry into your dialog's message map If so and it doesn't fire that means the edit control eats those messages and you'll have to subclass the edit box to catch them. Or I guess you coul ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy SQL Server 2005 DB to SQL Server Mobile - is it possible?

  I'm creating a prototype of a PDA app using CF.Net 2.0 and SQL Server Mobile for a prospective client and I've gone through and designed, built and populated a database using SQL Server 2005... and then realised where I really need it is on the PDA! Without going through all the pain of setting up SQL replication or writing all the code is there a way to export a 2005 database to SQL Server Mobile so it results in an .SDF file I know I can script each table out and run it via the SS2005 management studio when connected to a local .sdf file then copy that to the PDA but the thing is I really want to keep my test data so I don't have to re-enter it again. TIA for any help... there must be a way to do this but I'm quite new to SQL Server ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot run Team Edition for Database Professionals if not local admin?

  Hi there, It's very annoying at our work, but we are not local admins on our machine while logged into the domain. We do have Administrator rights only when we log in as local Administrator to the machine. So when I install the CTP, I execute the setup under the local Admin account, and it installs fine, and runs fine when logged in locally. But, when logged into the domain, it does not show up as an installed product under Help -> About. I do not have this problem with any other product ie I have the BI studio, team edition developer, team edition tester, etc running fine. Any thoughts on how to get the ctp to install and run properly for me Will this work in the future Because if it doesn't we have to go buy a few licenses of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Automatic retrieval of latest version on checkout?

  Hi, Since I could not get the latest version automatically with the old SourceSafe (VS 2003), I hoped this was 'solved' with Team System. However, when I tried to get this done, I could not manage it. The problem I have to deal with is that my colleagues and I work together on the same source (I think that is what has to be done with SourceSafe/TS ). Whenever we change something and check in our source, the new source has to be used. When I check out the source edited by my colleague, I just keep MY OWN source instead of retrieving the latest source. Clicking 'Get Latest Version' does the trick, but that one is easily forgotten and thus should be 'automated'... Could anybody help me out I would much appreciate your help/arguments on this ...Show All

• Architecture Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Product Key

  I originally had TFS Trial installed, and have since purchased the Team Suite MSDN that comes with TFS Workgroup Edition. How do I get the product key for the workgroup edition so I can update the trial license See:- http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/556043.aspx It should be a TFS Global Group called "Team Foundation Licensed Users" and your user should be a member. I've never tried moving from Trial to Workgroup myself so I could be leading you up a garden path. If you are really stuck, then you could try uninstalling TFS and installing TFS Workgroup - but again I've never tried this myself. Good luck, M. ...Show All
