• Visual C# Accessing data in a non managed C++ DLL

  Hi I have successfully been able to interface to and call functions in my non managed C DLL from my C# code using for example [ DllImport ( "native.dll" )] public static extern short myfunction(); Is it possible to access global data in the C dll also I cannot seem to find a way to do it. In the C DLL I have __declspec ( dllexport ) int mainwnd; and then tried in C# public static extern int mainwnd; but this gives a compiler error error CS0106: The modifier 'extern' is not valid for this item I am new to C# so may be missing the obvious. This is basic code without error handling: DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] static ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Java & Windows Live Mesenger Compatibiliy Issues with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

  Ok! I hope someone out there will be able to give me a hand with respect to this issue! I've recently changed from XP over to Vista Ultimate X64 and I have to say I'm starting to get over (and rather frustrated) with the whole "WOW" experience that is Windows Vista! The lack of drivers I can live with but problems with software built by Microsoft is a whole over ball game. Specifically, what my problem relates to is that in connecting up to WLM, the program only takes me as far as the contacts menu before it subsequently crashes with only a pop-up box stating that "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" whilst simultaneously attempting to obtain a solution of the internet which is consequently not forthcoming. In seeking to obtain ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Components, Game.GameServices and GraphicsDevice

  I've been working on some Game Components and was following an article by Mitch Walker about exposing GraphicsDevices between Game Components through Game.GameServices . I thought I'd try it out as it would make things so much easier.So, I went through the article and implemented what was needed, but I still can't get at the GraphicsDevice for some reason. Inside my Game Component, I have: private IGraphicsDeviceService GraphicsDeviceService; public override void Start() { // TODO: Add your start up code here GraphicsDeviceService = this.Game.GameServices.GetService<IGraphicsDeviceService>(); GraphicsDeviceService.DeviceCreated += new EventHandler(GraphicsDeviceService_DeviceCreated); GraphicsDeviceService.DeviceReset + ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using CodeDomDesignerLoader

  I am creating a form designer for use within an application, but I am having a problem. Playing with the example on the MSDN magazine tool. If I drag one of the base control, it seems to work find, but if I drag over a custom control I created, it doesn't seem to display on the designer, and no error seems to occur. If I use the BasicHostLoader, it seems to work fine. If someone knows what I am doing wrong, please let me know. Thank you ...Show All

• SQL Server Deployment on load balanced servers.

  Hi, I'm trying to solve the problem with deploying sql code on load-balanced application server. Normally when we put new feature\fix live we take one server out of the loop, than we put new app code, we test it and then we bring it back to the loop. But we've started to have a problem when we had to change stored procedures at the same time to run the new app code, becouse either 'test' server won't work either production application won't work. I wonder is there any good solution for this problem. Regards Piotr. P.S. Sorry for the forum topic but I didn't know where to put it. That was very helpful, but I'm more after stored procedure versioning solution. Sometimes we need old and new code running (part of requests are hitting old ...Show All

In them there is data and I want to integrate all this data into one table. that is to say Table A and Table B has data (Both A and B are from the same database) I want to integrate all this data into Table c.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. New to this - Keyboard Input

  Hey guys. I'm pretty new to the C# language. I've downloaded XNA and I've been messing around trying to create a pong game. So far I've managed to get the two paddles on the screen along with a red ball. I want to add keyboard input to the two paddles (they are sprites). I've been looking around on how to add keyboard input, but the more I look, the more confused I get. If someone could help me that'd be great. Some other things I am in the dark about are how to make your window application a bigger size, and if there is a coordinate plane for the window application. I normally find myself just guessing coordinates for my sprites untill they are places where I want. Thanks. The way I handle keyboard input ...Show All

• SQL Server OpenQuery() to Linked Server hangs, leaving SPID with open tran, then templog.ldf grows without limit.

  Hi, We have a customer that is using SQL Server 2000, and experiencing the following intermittent problem -- occasionally templog.ldf will grow and grow until it fills the entire disk. This is a rare problem, it has happened less than 10 times in the past two years, for a job that runs once a minute. But it has happened on 3 different SQL Servers, (two production servers, and one test server). Our suspicion is that the root cause is an OPENQUERY() to pull data from a linked server (Oracle database on Unix). We have seen that these OPENQUERY() statements occasionally hang and cannot be killed. The OPENQUERY() is used to populate a local table, and when we originally populated permanent tables with OPENQUERY(), then there would be a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Missing Icon in Add/Remove Programs for ClickOnce Application

  I am currently working on a ClickOnce application, and I noticed that a default icon is used instead of the actual application icon in the Add/Remove programs list. The icon displays correctly in the start menu. Is this a known limitation of ClickOnce applications, or can it be fixed I was able to come up with a solution, but it involves editing the registry. Below is some sample code: RegistryKey myUninstallKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"); string[] mySubKeyNames = myUninstallKey.GetSubKeyNames(); for (int i = 0; i < mySubKeyNames.Length; i++) { RegistryKey myKey = myUninstallKey.OpenSubKey(mySubKeyNames , true) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Easy question

  I can view my work items as tasks in the Pending Changes window and check them off as resolved. How can I "check in" these changes so that the work items are actually resolved The system thinks I have no pending changes. TIA, Mike Rodriguez I think it sounds like he's just trying to complete the work items but that they don't have associated pending changes in source control. In that case, the pending changes tool window isn't the right place to be. He should just edit the work items directly to mark them as finished. The work item functionality in the pending changes tool window is all about associating source file changes with work items when checking in those source file changes. ...Show All

However, it appears that the update method doesn't exist Only Fill and Getdata. Even on single tables this happens Is there a known bug here.
