• Visual C++ How do I deploy a project developed in a WinXP environment to a windows 2000 target machine without merge modules,installer,etc?

  Sorry, that was a lengthy subject entry. Basically, my issue is that I have developed a basic win32 app on a windows XP machine, and I can deploy it to other windows XP machines without VC8 by using manifest files and the Microsoft.VC80.CRT dll's locally deploying the because I don't necessarily have administrator access on those machines. This is fine, except that it doesn't seem to work right when I do the same thing on a windows 2000 SP4 machine. My executable runs correctly, but it doesn't do the right things. In this case, all my program does is open a few files to read the contents, but the function fails on the windows 2000 machine and not the windows XP. Is there a different method to distribute the dll's I saw a reference ab ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Named Caches

  How can I check to see if there are any named caches configured on the SQL Server. If none are configured, how can I configure one Does SQL Server supports Named caches Im using 2KEE and 2K5EE Thanks Like you do in Sybase. You can create a named cache and alocate a fixed amount of memory to it and then bind specific objects to that cache so the data of that object is always in the memory so it helps in terms of performance.

• Visual Studio Team System Ignoring UserMap.xml during VSS Migration

  When migrating a simple project from VSS to TFS, I ran into the following error: TF60096: Unable to migrate due to Team Foundation Error: TF50605: There was an error looking up the SID for <USER>. Having experience with this type of problem in the past, I quickly mapped the user in the UserMap.xml file and reran the migration. <As a side note, it would be great if the analyze would report on this type of error> Unfortunately I got the same error back - almost as if the vssconverter ignored the UserMap.xml. I have doubled checked the UserMap.xml file and location and they appear to be correct. The VSSConverter.log is showing something like: [VersionControl, Error, 16, 2006/10/25 15:14:52.283] Exception: System.Web.S ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Compile error in dxstdafx.h

  Hi, I'm writing a simple program in Visual C++ 6.0 to play some sounds in wav files. The project is a MFC Windows application. I've added the "include" directory of the DX SDK in the compiler options and the "lib" directory in the Linker options. I've also added the "samples\C++\Common" one for dxstdafx.h. Using precompiled header gives me errors so I've choosed to not use precompile headers in compiler options. Only including the line #include <dxstdafx.h> gives this errors: g:\programmi\microsoft directx sdk (february 2006)\include\dsound.h(305) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'dwReserved1' g:\programmi\microsoft directx sdk (february 2006)\inc ...Show All

• .NET Development Issues with updating Access DataSource

  I have generated an bindingsource and dataset without code. I have bound data to a text box and navigate easily enough with a navigator object. When I try to save the data to the mdb file with the following code nothing happens. No exceptions, No updates. this .dummyTableBindingSource.EndEdit(); dummyTableTableAdapter1.Update(jobCards_beDataSet.DummyTable); jobCards_beDataSet.DummyTable.AcceptChanges(); DummyTable consists of { DummyNo Autonumber DummyName Text (not required) } The row states do change when the data is modified, added or deleted. The mdb file is not read only , it does not have a password. I can also open the mdf file and edit directly on the table. The main idea behind this app is to use as little code as po ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. tank combat beta 2

  tank combat beta 2 - http://www.threesixbox.com/project/ id=bc37832b3a I used a beta 1 version by Michael Lee at learnxna.com as a springboard so he deserves a lot of the credit. I ported this to beta two and improved the graphics and movement as well as added a scoring system. Still to figure out:   Make the bullets bounce 1-3 times before expiring   Don't let the tanks run each other over   Create a variety of levels with walls that deflect the bullets   Put some delay into bullet firing when very close to opponent to eliminate machine gun effect.  I'm very new to game programming ( I had 4 semesters of C++ and VB in college but it was all windows application stuff) so I welcome ...Show All

• Windows Forms Emulating Form.ValidateChildren for a TabPage

  I know that a Windows Form object has a ValidateChildren() function. I'd like to create similar functionality for a TabPage, as if I could say: If myTabPage.ValidateChildren() SaveMyData() End If This would fire the Validating event for each control on the TabPage. I know I can have code like this: For Each c As Control In myTabPage.Controls ' Fire the Validating event for the control Next The issue is, how do I fire the Validating event for each control Or, is there an easier solution The Control type has a private NotifyValidating() method that runs OnValidating() which fires the Validating event. It is a private, that poses a bit of a problem. Reflection can bypass this restriction. It is ...Show All

• SQL Server Auto Updates for SQL Server?

  Our IT guy insists that he must be present anytime the SQL Server automatic updates from Microsoft are installed on the server or the server will crash. What has he been tinkering with to cause this to happen or is he just giving us a line I'm not sure this is a productive discussion for this forum. No one here could (or should) offer any suggestiona as to what your IT guy might or might not do to a computer to make it crash. If you have significant concerns about one of your employees, you need to take it up with your boss. If you feel it is a real possibility that your IT guy might do something maliceous to your server, you should have a qualified computer technician take a look at it. Regards, M ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do you replace text in Rich textbox?

  When i use the replace command on a rich textbox, the formatted text suddenly resets.. If a word is bold, the whole text gets bold. Im using the command this way: RTF.text = RTF.text.Replace("Firststring","Secondstring") I have also tried this solution dim txt as string = RTF.text txt = replace(txt,"Firststring","Secondstring") rtf.text = txt But this dont seem to work. The thing is, the document is written as a file, and then when you want to open the file in my vb2005 application, it replaces words like [name] with the actual name. And it should keep the formatting if some text is bold or underlined.. Hello Dan There is a lot to know ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Combo Quick fill while combo is expanded.

  Hi all; I have a class which uses code Marcia Akins posted here (Thanks Marcia). The code uses the InteractiveChange of the combo in order to produce a quick fill functionality. The problem: This won't work when the combo is expanded. I've tried to utilize the kepress method but it didn't work. Is there a place I can disable the inherent functionality of the combo when its expanded so it won't interfere with the quickfill functionality Thank you all. * Not tested but you might try this in the GotFocus() event: if mdown() nodefault() endif Or something similar *might* be a starting point. ...Show All
