• Visual C++ Startup ASSERT Problem

  When Windows starts to load I get a Debug Error with a message to see Visual C++ documentation on Asserts. The error line reads: C:\WORK\nc2_20020220\cyir\naturalcolor\systemtray.cpp Line:124 ("Naturalcolor" is a program that came with my Samsung SyncMaster 930b monitor). When this happens Windows stops loading the other programs in my systems tray. Sometimes I have to reboot several times before Windows loads correctly and all the correct icons display in the systems tray. I know nothing of Visual C++ and only have a very basic knowledge of computers. Is there any way of fixing this problems Thank you for your help.

• Visual Studio Express Editions copy forms between versions of Visual Express

  Summary: Can we copy forms between versions of Visual Express If someone has a real nice set of forms in Visual Basic Express and I want to use the same basic forms in C#, and I don't want to manually enter all the buttons and boxes and labels and positions, etc, is there a way to import the form into C#. I don't expect to get to be able to use the code, but getting the buttons would be nice. I strongly suspect that the core engines that drive all the Visual Express products are the same, only the syntax and grammar rules differ for the languages. If so, the conversion should be simple. That seems to work. I opened up the for design window in C#, selected all with ctl-A, then pasted into a form design window in Basic and it co ...Show All

• Windows Forms errorprovider

  Hi, how to clear error provider from all the ctrls . instead of referring all the ctrls is it possible to do in few statements. because i've around 15 ctrls. thanks venp-- Don't use Dispose(), you'll bomb when you try to use the ErrorProvider again. You'd almost always have just one ErrorProvider per form providing errors for all the controls on your form. This ought to do the trick: errorProvider1.Clear(); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why are so many important design time classes internal only?

  I'm attempting to create an activity in a similar style to IfElseBranchActivity. This allows you to select the type of condition, and then set the properties on it. It does this by using a custom TypeConverter and overriding GetStandardValues which creates instances of the possible derived types, and then you can bind their properties. Now the first bit I've managed to do fine, but when it comes to binding the properties of the objects created by the TypeConverter, I get the error that only dependency properties can be bound. So I look at how the ConditionTypeConverted manages to create properties so that they get bound, and there are literally thousands of lines of code in internal classes like PropertyDescriptorFilter, and internal cl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Threading - WaitHandle

  Hi, I thought now might be as good a time as any to try and get a grip on Threading in .Net and specifically for the 360. I've been having a a look at the "How to: Use a ThreadPool" article that is linked to at the bottom of the "Thread Pools in the .Net Compact Framework for Xbox 360" article in the XNA Help. The only problem with the example code seems to be that WaitHandle.WaitAll(...) does not exist on the 360, but does under Windows. WaitHandle on the 360 seems to serve no purpose at all as it's only methods are Equals and ReferenceEquals... so I'm at a loss really. If we kick off a load of threads in the constructor of our entry class what is the best way of waiting until all the threads in the ThreadPool ha ...Show All

• Visual Basic Windows Service - Out of Memory Exception

  I have created a windows service using vb.net which uses a filesystemwatcher to monitoe files in a specifc directory, if images are added to the directory they are resized and saved in a remote directory.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ScardAccessStartedEvent does not signal in Vista services - service hardening?

  Dear all, Migrating our core development platform to Windows Vista, one of our Windows services using smartcards is failing. We have debugged the problem and found that the event provided by the function ScardAccessStartedEvent does not receive notification. This event is supposed to signal when the SmartCard Resource Manager starts. As we have a WaitForSingleObject(event,INFINITE), the service hungs. Testing the same service as an ordinary executable ( registering with -regserver ) I can see it works properly. In XP it works properly both as an executable and service. I have read something about Service Hardening in Vista and I guess it may be caused by privilege reduction. So, I've created some code to enumerate the existing ...Show All
