• Visual C++ Mike Danes and Einaros_thank you

  am happy to be part of this family. I yet have one more problem. When I tried compiling my code without ".h" and it did but with one other problem. My code ended with say :cout<<"Hello World"; return 0; but the compiler tells me an error message as: 'cout': undeclared identifier. Pls help me, am new in the programming business. Once again, thank you Mike Danes and Einaros Please refer to the basic I/O operations in C++. You need to include #include<iostream.h> // Old style or #include <iostream> using namespace std; // because cout and other classes are defined under the namespace std. int main() ...Show All

• Windows Forms A Simple GUI Question

  I have an application which requires saving data. But user do not need to open a file or save a file. But I need a save and exit. Do I still have a File Menu Intuitively, File menu is for saving files. What does the guideline say Thanks much There is no 'set' way to create a method to save a file and exit your application. You can do this however you want. From what you explained it sounds like you want to save the file when the program exits. If so then you can use your Forms FormClosing Event to save the file. System.IO.File.WriteAllText( text you want to save ); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom rules (and Mono)

  Hi guys, I'm working on some custom rules (first time programming against FxCop, using 1.35). The ultimate goal is to develop a rules module to tell me where our code won't run against the Mono framework. In the meantime, I'm stuck on a simple one: public override ProblemCollection Check(Microsoft.Cci.Member member) { Method method = member as Method; if (method != null) { VisitMethod(method); } return base.Problems; } public override Microsoft.Cci.Expression VisitMethodCall(Microsoft.Cci.MethodCall call) { // Detect calls to System.Collections.Generic.List`1<T>.Sort(Comparison<T>) Expression e = base.VisitMethodCall(call); Member target = ((MemberBinding)call.CalleeExpression).Boun ...Show All

So make sure you're matching case whether your specifying the command line arguments for compilation.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there anyway to get the XNA framework without having to mess with XNA Studio Express?

  I just want to the framework, and I keep seeing links that say that the XNA framework and XNA Studio Express are available for download, but when I follow the links they go to an area to download the Game Studio Express. I use Visual Studio Professional, and I have no desire to mess with Visual C# express (which apparently is required for GSE). Is there any way to just get the XNA framework so it can be used in Visual Studio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Plans for Work Item Hierarchy?

  In reading the "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" Process Guidance is says "If a change request is accepted, it is used to generate tasks to implement the change." We plan on following this guidance closely and for the most part think it will work fine. The one issue we see is, a Change Request can be closed with out it's Tasks being finished, giving false impressions to our over caffeinated project management team. Ideally we'd like to have a hierarchy so that a Change Request stays "Active" (or in an Implement state in our case) until all it's children tasks are complete. I know this is not possible now (at least with out a lot of customization), but is a work item hierarchy (specifically change req ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get the handle of a window which proc is subclassed

  I try to find the window handle of edit box in calculator. But failed.... I see from spy++, that the window proc of edit box is subclassed, i guess that may be the reason why I can't get the window handle. Because i can get all the other windows in calculator. My code is: [ DllImport ( "user32.dll" )] public static extern int FindWindow( string lpClassName, // class name string lpWindowName // window name ); [ DllImport ( "user32.dll" )] static extern int FindWindowEx( int hwndParent, int hwndChildAfter, string lpszClass, string lpszWindow); public static void Main() { int hwnd=0; int hwndChild=0; int hwndChild1 = 0; ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I store a bitmap file in a globally accessable file, instead of a form's imagelist?

  Hello, I am aware of the methods for storing images in an imagelist that resides on a form. But sometimes my tree node does not have the form's pointer. I would like to store some of my bitmaps in a globally accessable singleton object. Has anyone done this Thanks for the help! Bob If you're using the Visual Studio 2005 resource editor, usually it's just a matter of using you application's resource manager--via its Properties class--to get at the image stored in the resources.  For example: Image image = global::MyNamespace.Properties.Resources.MyImage; That's just a wrapper to something like: Image image = (Bitmap)ResourceManager.GetObject("MyImage"); So far, everything you've ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies SharePoint 2007 - Access in Read Only to a folder

  Hi, I have a folder. A Group A can access on it only in Read. It's seems ok because the buttons "New" and "Upload" dont appear anymore. But another problem appears : when a user open a file, and edit it, it seems that he's able to edit it and save it without any problem !! How can i manage this problem I dont want to allow them to edit documents. Thanks for help. Are they able to save it back into the document library Usually not... but they are able to save a copy to their computer. Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think sharepoint can keep the user from saving a copy. It can only prevent them from replacing the original in the document library. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automation only gets the most current version of a file

  Previously, I archived the database, then restored it. I am not sure if this was the root of the issue or not. Now, when I use automation to get a previous version of a file, I either get the most current version of the file, or I get the error message: " An item with the name $/ASP.NET Projects/Intranet_DotNet.root/Intranet/AccountingModule already exists ". A call to GetVersionByLabel always returns the most current version number instead of the version number of the labeled file. A call to GetVersionByVersionNumber will return the error mentioned above if the version number is not the most current. I know the files in the VSS database are there because I can launch the VSS client and look at the history, and manual ...Show All
