• Visual C++ unresolved external symbol errors when porting to 64-bit, using visual studio .net 2003

  We have an application that is compiled on a 32-bit XP workstation. We are using Visual Studio .NET 2003. The compile and link is done using command line tools (e.g. cl and link) rather than using visual studio project/solution files. The application is working well as a 32-bit application, but we are now trying to port the application to 64-bit, so it can run on 64-bit versions of XP and Windows Server 2003. My understanding is that we can compile the 64-bit code on the same 32-bit XP workstation we are using at the moment, and the target binaries and libraries can be copied to a 64-bit system and tested. We have therefore changed our build system so that it compiles the code using the 64-bit version of cl, and then it tries to link usi ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development BHO works in IE6 but not IE7

  Hi, I have a BHO that is written in VB. The BHO works in IE6 but not IE7. The place it fails in IE7 is that it does not perform the Navigate2 method correctly.

• .NET Development BinaryWriter - Dynamic cast

  Hi, I am new to C# and I don't know how to cast dynamically an object to a specific type . I have the object and its type (as a Type object). For example, I read some data from a query (which has been created dynamically) and get a list of objects and theirs types (string, Int64, DateTime...). Now I need to put them into a BinaryWrite.

• SQL Server Deployment issue : COM object with CLSID {10020200-EB1C-11CF-AE6E-00AA004A34D5} is either not valid or not registered.

  Hello, I have a asp.net application that calls a DTS package. This application is running fine on my machine (where SQL Server and Web Server are running). When I moved the application to a Web Server, I am getting the following error due to the DTS package. COM object with CLSID {10020200-EB1C-11CF-AE6E-00AA004A34D5} is either not valid or not registered. In my Bin folder, I do have the reference to the Interop.DTS.dll. The web server admin tells me that the dtsffile.dll, dtspkg.dll, dtspump.dll and axscphst.dll are registered onto the web server. I am struggling to find the reasons for this. I have tried to replicate this error onto my machine to help me finding out the cause of this problem but in vain! Can you help please ...Show All

• Visual C# Choosing a Draw() function based on class members

  I have multiple draw() function that wil be called depending on some class members. If there is an effect, if it is primatives, ect. Yes I could have a base class and then have inherited classes depending on what they have extra, the problem is that you will end up with a whole lot of classses. ie. ModelwithEffect, ModelwithBasicEffects, ModelwithEffectandTexture, ModelwithBasicEffectsandTexture.. ect. So I would like to roll it all into one class. I would kind of like a function pointer way of doing it but not sure how to do this with C#. Have the Draw function really just be a function pointer to the correct draw function. As you make changes in the members it just resets it to the proper function pointer. Any ideas theTroll ...Show All
