• .NET Development Referencing DLL's in the GAC

  I have a dll listed in the GAC on both windows 2000 sp4 and windows xp sp2 but it does not appear under the .NET list when I select 'Add Reference' from within Visual Studio 2005. If I try to browse to the c:\WINNT\assembly directory and add the dll from there it won't let me. Can anyone tell me how to include dll's from the GAC to my references. The only dll I have is the one that is registered in the GAC, but this doesn't show up under the .NET list when I try to Add Reference. Since I can't copy the file elsewhere, or specify the GAC directory in the registry I can't use the supplied solutions in the link. Could this be an installation problem where the dll just hasn't registered pr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Installing VS 2005 Broke ActiveX in VB6 and Access - Need Help

  I have a development machine at work that has Access 2000 and VB6 on it with working projects. I have installed VS 2005 as I am training in that language now as well. My problem is that I have functioning code in Access and VB6 that no longer works because of the licensing errors for ActiveX objects. The only KB article I found that remotely refers to this issue asks that you import the VB6Controls.reg file on VS 2005 Pro CD #2. I went to do it and the .reg file does not exist on any of the VS CD's and I'm not even sure if this is the fix I want to use. I need the code in VB6 and Access to continue working but I also want to develop new things in VS 2005. Help Thanks! Can you please tell me which co ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ Newbie needs a c++ expert converting bits to bytes

  Hello all, I need some C++ experts to help me with a problem I have in converting a PBM file to a PGM file. These files are used to store digital images. The PBM file uses monochrome to display images while the PGM file is a grayscale image. I have written a test program that works somewhat. The problem I have is that the PBM format uses 1 bit to represent a pixel while the PGM format uses 1 byte to represent a pixel. Therefore 1 byte in PBM format represents 8 pixels. I need help in converting those bits to bytes for the PGM format. I am not sure how to achieve this. I have never really had any experience in masking bytes. Here is my code thus far: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use a Table Variable

  Hi all, I have a table which holds a list of users names & the table assigned to each, e.g. - John Smith - Table1 - bob Jones - Table2 etc I have a store procedure which calls the information from the user's table based on the username. Something like this: Select * from @UserTable So if user is John Smith then @UserTable = Table1. Though the @ function does not work for referencing a table. Is there a workaround to this Rgds & thanks. Hi, Couldn't you federate the username table and the multiple user tables into only one table and use a stored procedure That would save you a lot of trouble. i.e. where you have: Table_users User_Name, value_1, Value_2, Value_3 Value ...Show All

• SQL Server A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server

  I've tried to search on the web for a solution for this error but i didn't find any working solutions for this problem. We have 2 servers. The first one is the server we use to develop our ASP.NET 2 application. On this server we don't have this error. On the other server (use by our client) we have this error sometime and i don't know why. Both servers have the same configuration and both application have the same web.config file. I've tried to add a try-catch and retry the query when the error occured. This seems to be working but we don't want to have to change all our connections and since we don't have this problem on the other server we want to find the source of the problem. Any idea Thanks !

• Visual Studio Team System Best Practices for Collaborating on Diagrams

  Has anybody developed any good practices for sharing an SDM diagram with people who don't happen to have access Visual Studio for filling details For instance, I am working on the architecture for a solution, and I've built an SDM diagram that shows the high-level design of the entire solution. I'd like to have a network engineer fill in the specific details of machine names, etc., for the various environments to which the solution will be deployed (development, testing, production, etc.), but I cannot count on my engineers having Visual Studio. If I could export to Visio, that'd be cool; the engineers all have Visio.

• Internet Explorer Development New ActiveXObject()
