• Visual C++ MessageBoxW and converting to LPCWSTR

  Hi MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Message Box Title -- Hello World", MB_OK); Error: error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' IDE:VS2005 I don't understand why it gives this error. Can you please tell me what the problem is and how i can solve it. Thanks Of course, you're free to do whatever you want. But I would very much prefer to fix your bug and use Unicode , instead of ANSI. Frankly speaking, in this global world, in this Internet era, I consider ANSI strings as prehistoric obsolete string format. Note that modern programming languages like Java, C#, Python, etc. use Unicode as their ...Show All

• .NET Development XslCompiledTransform loading external xml from database using document()

  I have some xml and xsl documents all stored in a database, so there are no physical files. I use the XslCompiledTransform and a custom XmlUrlResolver class to load xsl documents from the database. My custom XmlUrlResolver class only resolves the import and include directives. How can I write a custom resolver for the document() directive From the VS2005 documentation : C# public void Transform ( XmlReader input , XsltArgumentList arguments , XmlWriter results , XmlResolver documentResolver ) C++ public : void Transform ( XmlReader ^ input , XsltArgumentList ^ arguments , XmlWriter ^ results , XmlResolver ^ documentResolver ) ...Show All

• SQL Server Losing config file between child packages and *$##@!- Passwords!

  I have a parent package that uses Execute Package Task against three child packages. They are all setup to use the same configuration file, and the packages are all located in the same folder. Purpose of the configuation is to use the same connection strings for each child package. I removed the path from the config. file specification to facilitate deployment. During debugging, the child packages cannot find the config file when they are run via the parent unless the full path is specified. If run standalone, a child package can find the config. file without the path. As I said, all dtsx filaes and the config file is in the same folder. Also, the password-removal issue is killing me in development. Everytime I touch the config. f ...Show All

• SQL Server How to dynamically create Tables

  I'm currently developing an RDF application which need to handle lots of datatypes. But I want to use SQL-Servers capabilities for efficient querying and sorting. Therefore, I've wanted to create a Main Table which stores a Reference to the Table where the Data is stored. The Data itself should get stored in a Datatype-specific Table. The Typed Table might get created by something like: public void CreateTypedLiterals(Type type) { String sql = String.Format( "CREATE TABLE [Literals_{1}] (" + "ID int DISTINCT NOT NULL, Value {1})", // BUG: does not work // WARNING: introduces a potential sql-injection problem type.ToString() ); ... As you can see on the statements this solution makes many troubles. So I've wanted ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Saving maps

  Hi, Is there a way to save a map (along with pushpins) as a pdf or a image file My client really will like if we could save a map as an image or a pdf file so it can be emailed to other users. Thanks, Sanjeev Yes, it is possible, but it will not be as easy if you might think. All the tile images from the background are available as picture files (I don't think the information is public, but it isn't too hard to figure that part out) so you could grab them and "glue" them together to get one big picture (you have to cut off the unused parts). You can keep track of all the pushpins you add / delete and enumerate the ones that are in the current view. Then you can draw those on the pic ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Simple question about option group labels

  Can't find where to change the background color of the label portion of the option buttons. They stay the original color of a dirty beige. Even though the color of the group box changes, the label will not. How Thanks Interesting but I had already tried a new form ... with the same result. Also, neither form has any code applied. They were both built from scratch as a way to learn how to use VFP's form controls. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multi threading in a game (using XNA)

  Hello. I am able to create thread and make them exchange information through common objects they know (server / each other reference) Now I would like 2 threads to update a server. Each of those threads takes for inputs a keyboard for one, a mouse for the other one. However, it seems that the thread that listens on the keyboard do not detect events from it. Seems like it is the parent thread that is able to listen to a keyboard event and only that parent thread. How would you do so that a children thread is master over a device even if it does not have the focus Regards, Chryso The XNA Racer Starter Kit (or whatever its official name is going to be) is going to be an example of taking advantage of threadi ...Show All

• Visual C++ program runs really slow after about a day, anyway to fix it?

  Hi, I have a visual c++ program that runs 24/7 on a computer. After about 22-25 hours it stars running slow, even though the computers specs are very good. I need to restart and then start it up again. Is there anyway to fix it or do I just need to restart each time Thanks, Stan This is an application specific problem. You may be experiencing this problem because of issues such as memory leaks or a complexity which (erroneously) increases over time, such as iterations with heightened limits. It's hard to give any generic advice for you to avoid these problem, apart from giving some thought to the amount of time you've spent attempting to avoid such issues while writing the application. ...Show All
