• Visual C++ Dynamic memory allocation

  Hi, I used the search, but I didn't find any info about allocating dynamic blocks of memory in Visual C++ 2005 Express. I just stopped using Bloodshed's DevC++, where I was able to allocate the memory like this: int *mpT= new int [100]; *mpT=20; It throws these errors: error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int error C2374: 'mpT' : redefinition; multiple initialization see declaration of 'mpT' I know that this all quite basic, but I couldn't find any basic tutorial like http://www.cplusplus.com . Thanks in advance for any useful answer. The two lines of C++ code you give are correct. Use the file and line number give ...Show All

• Windows Forms Access Controls or Variables on other forms

  Without using Properties.Settings how would a form access a variable on the default form or another form How would it access a control (either its property, or perform a control method) exactly! When it comes to threading, it's a different issue but lets stick to the original topic! :-) I'm glad I could clear it up and to help you, please feel free to post and mark the correct answer ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleted AD resource causes publishing error

  We had a user leave the company who had tasks assigned in Team System. The next time we published the Project we got a publishing error and had to reassign all the tasks to an active resource. Project Server is able to gracefully recover from this type of event...Team System should also. Doug, Thanks for the feedback. Were you expecting all tasks for that user to be automatically assigned to Active Consider the scenario where you want to know what tasks were assigned to the user who left the company and then load balance them across other users. Wouldn't it be easier to accomplish this with the current design Instead, if we automatically assigned all these tasks to Active, you'd have to manually updat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customize Query Variables

  I'm working for a small company, setting up Team System this summer. A question came up during a meeting recently, concerning work item queries. Is it possible to customize or extend the built-in variables: @project, @today, and @me -- I'd like to be able to define my own variables like: @latestVersion, or @latestBuild for a specific project, or even globally, like @projectXLatestVersion and @latestXBuild. Is this built in, or is there any way to achieve this functionality Jonathan Cran jcran@iastate.edu Hi I don't think this is supported. These are built-in variables. One way to workaround this is save your queries and have a batch job to update them with latestbuild and latestVersion. Thanks Sagar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Avoiding/Eliminating the "OK to Reinstall dialog box"

  I've built an enterprise solution that includes both a WinForms app and a Pocket PC app. To facilitate the installation of the mobile app, the WinForms app copies the Mobile CAB file over to the device and then executes it. It works fine except that whenever and update is being installed, it presents the following dialog box: Blah-blah-blah is already installed. Re-install OK Cancel I'd very much like to find a way to eliminate this dialog box. Does anybody know how Robert Werner Vancouver, BC Hmmm ... I used the "Run" mode on my Dell Axim and manually exited "wceload" but no combination could avoid that dialog box. To be precise, this is what I ...Show All

• SQL Server Calc Measure - aggregation behaviour differs between cube and mdx

  Howdy, I have a calculated measure for a division that is calculated something like this (simplified): MEMBER [Measures].Grade AS [Measures].Metal / [Measures].Tons This measure is persisted in the cube. Normally, the measure correctly aggregates (ie shows Sum(Metal) / Sum(Tons)), but when I put it in MDX as follows, it incorrectly shows Sum(Metal / Tons): WITH MEMBER [Date].Calendar.YTD AS SUM (YTD( [Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[2006-03-26T00:00:00] ) SELECT [Date].Calendar.YTD ON COLUMNS, [Measures].Grade ON ROWS FROM [TheCube] I assumed that this behaviour was because I was aggregating the measure via the SUM() and YTD() functions, but when I take this measure out of the cube and place it in ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) JulyCTP - Custom Service Host Factory - Service Util - Exception

  I came across an interesting exception. First, what we are trying to do: We have our own implementation of service host factory. In the overriden CreateServiceHost method, we read configuration files from a different location and configure the ServiceHost programmatically using objects in System.ServiceModel.Configuration. I wrote a system test (using VSTS), that simply calls the our implementation of service host factory (just like IIS does). After a call to CreateServiceHost method, I open the host (and let VS.NET run after freezing the test thread) and tried to navgiate to an end point using the browser. The page comes up fine with usual proxy code example etc. I then tried using the SvcUtil.exe with same url that I used in the browse ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Component properties

  So I've created a game component. I've setup the properties like MitchW did in his nice little video tutorial, and finally I've successfully been able to drag the component from my toolbox to the Visual Designer. The next logical step would be to link the graphics object into the component so that my component has access to the GraphicsDevice which I'll get from the GraphicsComponent that XNA gives you to start out with. The problem I'm running into is that the property that I'd like to edit isn't showing up in my list of editable properties for the compnent I've written. I've saved, compiled, nothing will work at this point. Please help me! Is it a property or a public field Only properties are editable ...Show All
