• Visual C++ msvcr80.dll Problem

  Hi there, can someone possibly tell me why Noton WinDoctor is telling me that 10 executables in the .NET Framework 2.0 cannot access the necessary dll file msvcr80.dll I see that the dll exists in the WinSxS directory and I'm running XP pro. I didn't have this problem until I downloaded the 2.0 framework at windows update. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Naolin Thanks much everyone for the feedback. Sounds to me like its an inconsequential error that Norton will need to address in a future update to look for it in the correct dir. I read on an msn blog somewhere (sorry I cant find it again) that one should not put the dll in the system32 dir but from other posts it seems that it's possibly needed ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5.0 on PDA connecting to DB2

  Hi All I have a Windows Mobile 5.0 Application, and I want to sync data between the SQL Mobile on PDA with AS400 Data. As there are no classes in .NET CF (Compact Framework) to directly connect to DB2, there is product from IBM called as Everyplace or Everywhere for connecting to DB2 from .NET CF. Which I am not interested in. I have a option to have a Webservice which will be called from the Mobile device and which will actually sync. the data between the DB2 server and the SQL Mobile. I want to know whether this is a good idea .. where we could be having 70 to 80000 records Thanks in Advance ....

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Look@ my code, Moving Along an Angle

  public Vector2 Position, Direction; public int Angle, Speed; public void Move() { Direction.X = ( float ) Math .Sin( MathHelper .ToRadians(Angle)); Direction.Y = ( float ) Math .Cos( MathHelper .ToRadians(Angle)); Position += Direction * Speed; } Ignoring the fact this code would make calls to Math in every game loop, is this a reasonable way to make a projectile move along a given angle in degrees Thanks, Dave Reasonable enough if you really want to model the motion as an angle and speed. But it would be cleaner if the Model just contained Position and Velocity vectors, and you used a separate method to handle converting from other formats (angle/speed). public class Model { public Vector2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to debug web application remotely using VS2005 debugger

  Hello, I have been trying for two weeks now to find an answer to this problem. I have a web application that was built in ASP.NET 1.1. I migrated the project to the .NET 2.0 Framework using Visual Studio 2005, by opening the project and converting it using the Conversion Wizard. When I debug the application locally, it works just fine. I deployed the application using the Copy Web Site option. When I attempt to open the remote version of the application in VS2005 and build it, I get the following error: Could not load file or assembly 'VocabDBEdit, Version=1.0.2174.28224, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL Express, C# Express, and Web Dev Express...

  Hey, Here's what I would like to do. Have an installation of Visual C# Express, an installation of Visual Web Developer express, and SQL Server express. Here's the problem: 1) If I install SQL Express first, I get SQL to work with no problem... But neither C# nor Web Dev has any options for utilizing it. 2) If I install c# then install Web Dev (opting for the SQL Express install within the C# installer) then Web Dev has options for SQL server, but C# does not. Furthermore, the SQL installation doesn't allow me to login with either windows authentication or Login authentication. So, nothing works as I want it to at that point. So the question would be, can I install all three (four if you count the SQL management tool) separa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cached data is destroyed upon compilation

  Hi there, This may not be a normal scenario and so I expect this functionality isn't available. I create a new Word project in Visual Studio. I have an application that adds cached data to Word documents. I add some data to the document cache. I open the document and write on it, and I add custom properties. I compile in Visual Studio, the resulting Word document in Release directory contains the text I typed, contains the custom properties, but the cache has been corrupted. The main cache title is there but the entries are not which means the document crashes when it opens complaining about the following ------------ Value cannot be null.
