• Visual C++ About MSDN Libraries CD in the Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition Package...

  Hi, About those MSDN Libraries CDs that come with g the y Package, Do they ABSOLUTELY have to be installed in order to be able to program in Visual C++ and to be able to use the Microsoft SDK v2.0 and all the OpenGL and DirectX or Direct3D APIs... Are they necessary in order to write and make workable programs... Do they contain any needed APIs or libraries files that are needed by the Visual C++ compiler... What I mean is, do they contain any needed libraries files used by the Compilers, like Visual C++... Or are they just for the Help index and Contents to view and see the APIs macros... You are correct: you don't need to install the MSDN documentation in order to use Visual C++. But doing so helps g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Viewer app problem

  Hi! I've built a Winforms .net assembly (dll) (com-enabled) that encapsulates the report viewer control. When launching it from a .net exe it works fine. When launching it from a vb6 app it crashes on all forms that have expressions (presumably that are using microsoft.reportviewer.processingobjectmodel.dll). The error occurs on the "localreport.setparameters" call. The exact error is: An error occurred during local processing. Failed to load expression host assembly. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'expression_host_c69db59c9e3b4b98a64876ea5cb1a0bc. Version 10.8.5072762, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

• Visual Studio How to add a custom rule that listens on "delete" events?

  How can I add a custom rule (or similar mechanism) that fires custom logic in case I delete a class in the domain model In my example I have a domain model from which I create various ASPs and C# classes (for each domain class various implementation artifacts are being generated). For consistency reasons, I would like to add a “delete” event listener in the domain model. So, whenever a domain class is deleted, I would like to delete the derived implementation artifacts. Traceability is not the issue, only having a listener to a “delete” event. How would I do that Thanks, Alex You can do that yourself. Just add a boolean (domain) property to the element in question and set it to true before you progra ...Show All

• Visual C# Time

  Okay, so I am trying to make an alarm clock program for computer, to familiarize myself with C#. What I need help with, is I have the dateTimePicker tool for setting the alarm, and I have a label for displaying the current time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh it will let you set a time if you give it the appropriate val ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.Net, Access, Excel, and the Office PIAs

  hello, I have been tasked with writing a VB.net application that can take excel spreadsheets and convert the entries into the correct database entries (in an Access database). I am using VB because of its ease of use and quick results (and because I've done it before). However, I have been doing some research to determine what the best way to accomplish this is and that is how I found the Office PIAs. I have not used them before and don't know what their limitations or advantages are. There's not a lot online about them and I think they might make it easier to access information in my spreadsheets. So my question is, " How can I use or should I use the Office PIAs to directly access the spreadsheets I need to tear apart " ...Show All
