• Visual C++ make a dependatnt service

  hi all i had made a service that beeps after a specified time interval.now i want that this service should be depend upon the some other services like RPC so that user cannot turn it off. or like RPC service whose stop button does not work or is disabled. Thanks in advance. If you use the .NET ServiceBase class, set the CanStop property to false. If you do this native, remove the SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP flag from the dwControlsAccepted member of the SERVICE_STATUS word. Be careful doing this, beeping tends to drive users nuts. ...Show All

• Visual C# New C# Keyword - retry?

  I believe that C# could benefit from extending try-throw with retry keyword. Simple example of this would be: try { PerfomAction(); } catch(Exception ex) { DialogResult dr = MessageBox(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore, MessageBoxIcon.Question); if(DialogResult.Retry==dr) retry; // Jumps to the begining of try block } IMHO: This makes for cleaner-looking and less bug-prone code than the alternatives with goto or loops. Since the windows SEH exception handling mechanism is a two pass system you could even do something like this: object o = null; void DoSth() { o.GetType(); } void f() { try { DoSth(); } retry { o = new ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Poor User Experience on failure

  Hi folks. I'm a bit disappointed with the user experience you get when you fail to authenticate with Cardspace. I'm trying to authenticate with a username/password token, and if I've got a network error, an internal server error or I give an incorrect password, or even if my account is locked out due to too many failed attempts, I see the same generic error - essentially "please check network connections, credentials and try again". This is a really poor user experience that will only serve to frustrate users and increase support calls to my organisation. Cardspace really needs to distinguish between something being our fault, the users fault or the network's fault. As an STS, I'm actually returning one of the correct WS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Setup problem.

  When I launch the msvcs.exe or the msvc.exe they get to the point where it says " Setup is loading installation components. This may take a minute or 2." It's been like 5-10 right now, is there a fix Tyrael I had the same problem as well. When I went into task manager I saw setup.exe was also using up all my cpu cycles. I couldn't even get the program to close! What I ended up doing was freeing memory and that caused the program to start running again. After reading things on this forum I wonder if it wasn't my antivirus interferring with it. I would recommend shutting that down and see if it installs. Hope this helps! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System tfpt annotate - unable to connect to the remote server

  I'm attempting to run tfpt annotate from the command prompt. I opened a command prompt, and moved myself into the directory in my local workspace folder that contains the file I am interested in.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.NotAvailableException was unhandled

  While coding Microsofts/digipen's webcast class: http://www.digipen.edu/main/Webcast/Introduction_to_2-D_Video_Game_Development Session 5 I get the error below. Yet in session 4 the error does not occur. The only difference between the two is adding more sprites, moving them, and mirroring them depending on which side of the shooter they will appear on. I do not know enough about either the code or c# to figure it out. So I hope others have done this tutorial and found the answer. Also regarding this tutorial, all the sprites show a black box even though they are set to be transparent: Picture trooper01 = new Picture ( "trooper01.bmp" , Color .FromArgb(0, 255, 0)); 255 meaning grn will be/is the transparent c ...Show All
