• Windows Forms new to distribution....problems please help

  I have just started sending the odd application around to various comps to get judged (under 15 comps) but have had trouble with getting the app to install on other computers... I finish my app and create a setup for it putting in all the rescources etc but when the setup is run on another computer (from a disk) it says the .net framework needs to be installed. I don't understand this because books ive read say only vb run-time files are needed which I thought were automatically put in the setup. And even after the .netframework is downloaded to the users computer it still fails to install the app. this is very annoying and embarrasing to deal with, can anyone give me some advice ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems with a localization project

  Hello all, Following Michele Leroux Bustamante's Globalized Windows Sample , I've worked on a project of mine, a window app, that uses a different project exclusively for storing Strings in different languages. The idea is adding a reference of the localisation project to the main project, and so enjoy the intellisense whenever chosing a String to show on the form- while the String will be chosen according to the Thread.CurrentCulture and the Thread.CurrentUICulture, which could be assigned before calling the Application.Run(form1()) method. This worked perfect when I managed everything from within the solution, the problems started when I've taken the main project as a .DLL and tried using it from a different solution and a different proj ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help disabling Just-In-Debugging

  I installed .net 2.0 yesterday and now Just-In-Time Debugging has taken over my apps I work on outside of VS.net. I have followed all steps I have found to disable JIT with no results. So then I uninstalled 2.0 and reverted back to 1.1. Still, the JIT dialogue pops up. The pages I am working on are classic asp pages and the last thing I need is these JIT popups. I have been unable to find any information beyond the checkboxes in VS.net. Could anyone shed some light on this If it matters, I am on XP Pro and run VS.Net 2003. Thanks. Please Habib, help me. I get the same error message, but when i open games: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in Civlization4.exe [3980]. Just-In-Time debu ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problems with CBitmap and CDC

  Hello, I am trying to use a CBitmap that is quite a bit larger than the DC on the Windows Mobile device I am using. As a test, I am blitting this CBitmap black and then copying it to the buffer DC using an intermediary DC. However, it is not working. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on! Here is the code (all the calculations are correct going into the BitBlts): RECT screen; GetClientRect(&screen); int bufferWidth = screen.right*Minotour::Constants::BUFFER_SIZEFACTOR; int bufferHeight = screen.bottom*Minotour::Constants::BUFFER_SIZEFACTOR; CDC* tempDC = new CDC(); tempDC->CreateCompatibleDC(readyBuffer); CBitmap* test = new CBitmap(); test->CreateCompatibleBitma ...Show All

• Windows Forms Scrolling a panel containing graphics

  I actually call this form from another form. When it loads I see it flicker as it paints, but then it just shows up blank. If I click on the form, then it actually redraws the graphics. The main problem I am having is in the scrolling of the panel. When I scroll it ends up a big mess and doesn't work as needed. I know it has something to do with the AutoScrollPosition.X and .Y, but I've added it to the DrawLine methods in the x1, x2, y1, y2 points and still doesn't work the way I am expecting. I just need it to scroll smoothly. Maybe I don't understand the scroll, but I thought I am still technically drawing at zero even if the scrollbar is all the way down and I have to use the scrollbar position to draw the images so it appears as if it ...Show All

• Visual C++ modal dialog box not closing quickly enough

  Hi. I have a single threaded MDI application with several windows that are concurrently open and displayed during normal operation. I need to print the contents of a user-selected window. Per end-user request I display a CDialog based modal dialog box that allows the user to select the window he wants to print and then click on the OK button. I have code that then takes a bitmap snapshot of the requested window and prints it to the printer(from KB article q186736). So far so good, but if the dialog box overlaps the window that the user wants to print, the overlapping part of the dialog box is also printed. This doesn't make sense to me - the dialog should completely go away as I understand it. FWIW here's a code snippet: ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Express Edition

  I have Sql Server 2005 and Reporting Services 2005 installed in my machine. Can I install besides this products Sql Server 2005 Express and Reporting Services 2005 Express. Can they be both in the same machine Will I get any problem doing this Thanks, Marco Yes, both the Engine, Reporting Services, and Analysis Services are instance aware components, thus you can install them more than once on the same machine without any problems, as long as you give them a distinct instance name. Integration Services, Notification Services, and client components (tools) are the opposite. They can only have one copy per machine. Thanks, Sam Lester (MSFT) ...Show All
