• Visual Basic Speed up assigning points to a 2D array

  The program that I’ve written works but is incredibly slow and I am wondering if there are more efficient ways to accomplishing my intensive tasks. I have a large text file with real world xy co-ordinates. Each co-ordinate is an easting and a northing for a point. My overall goal is to read in all of the points and assign those points to a raster grid where each cell represents a specified area in the real world (i.e. 10meters by 10 meters). The value of a cell simply represents if a point is present in it or not (1 or 0) The extent of the raster grid is 1000m x 1000m and the smallest cell size I’m working with is 0.1m so the output grid would have a size of 10000 cells by 10000 cells. I dimension an array c ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Elements in XAML

  Hello, I am trying to create a custom element for my XAML code but don't seem to be able to.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "Unable to install or run..."

  I wrote a Windows application in VB.net, VS2005. My program uses one-click deployment and is up to version 1.4. We recently tried to install the latest version of the program on a user's pc who hadn't had any of the earlier versions of the program installed.

• Visual Studio VSS20005+VS2005 Certification error

  I've been trying to get VSS2005 to work over the Internet by following the directions at http://alinconstantin.homeip.net/WebDocs/Scc/Default.htm but i can't get it to work. All the settings are done (ie setting VSS to use SSL, filling in the adress, configuring VS2005 to use the VSS over Internet plugin). I used SelfSSL to generate and assign a certificate on my server and installed it via IE (on my workstation via the View Certificate->Install in IE6 and on my server via the IE7 Content->Certificates->Import) but it doesn't seem to accept it. In IE it works because i can now access https://myserver/ without IE showing the messagebox about certificates. If i disable the Over Internet-setting it works just fine, howev ...Show All

• Windows Forms What is an "Application Reference"?

  The file in the Start menu used to launch an application installed with ClickOnce is of type "Application Reference". Where can I find more information about that file type Is it specific to .NET Does anybody know if there is a way to choose the icon for that file   Setup projects are a different type of project that create windows installer files. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/996a3fxs(VS.80).aspx for an overview.

• Smart Device Development Why my CF1.0 SP2 apps wont run on CF2.0 SP1 device?

  Hello to all, Our device manufacturer just upgraded their device to CF2.0 SP1 and now none of my apps will run. There are no errors generated when you try to execute these programs. When you execute the apps, they simply dont start. The apps were developed with VS2003 using CF1.0 SP2 and ran fine on the device before they changed to CF2.0 SP1. Should'nt CF2 supports apps targeted for CF1 Does anyone have any ideas Thanks -Chris Yes, CF2.0 SP1 is installed. This is what is displayed using cgacutil.exe: Microsoft (R) .NET Compact Framework (2.0.6129.0, 1.0.4292.0) From what I understand this means that the OS build should support CF2.0 SP1 and CF1.0 SP3.

• Software Development for Windows Vista CorrelationManager.ActivityId changes when in a method under Workflow

  I am having an issue with the CorrelationManager.ActivityId changing on me when I am running inside of Workflow. I understand that the CorrelationManager utilizes the CallContext to store its state, but I can't figure out why the ActivityId is a different guid when running under Workflow. In fact, the ActivityID is set to the WorkflowInstanceId. Within my workflow method I can do a CallContext.LogicalGetData("System.Diagnostics.Trace.CorrelationManagerSlot").Peek and get out the stack in the same position I expect but if I do a CallContext.GetData("E2ETrace.ActivityID").ToString or (Trace.CorrelationManager.ActivityID same thing) I get the WorkflowInstanceId. This is causing me much difficulty when trying to log a ...Show All

• SQL Server Automatic sync between SQLce and Access

  Hi, I am converting an old eVB application to CF.NET 2. It's a very simple setup. 1) An Access database sits on the host and has occasional edits applied to it. 2) An application on the PDA with a mirror copy of the Access database (filtered data) and also has occasional edits applied 3) When the user puts the PDA in the cradle the databases get automatically synchronized with each other. Probably couldn't get much simpler than this. This used to be very easy to do with PocketAccess and ActiveSync. Unfortunately this is no longer supported. I decided to use the new SQLce database instead when porting to CF.NET. It's working like a charm except that I haven't found an easy way to synchronize with the desktop Access application.

• Visual C++ error C2664: 'gethostbyname' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *'

  when I use the following code in the unicode project of vc, it has the following error: error C2664: 'gethostbyname' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *' Can you tell me how to do this data conversion and make this statement workable Thanks you very much. lpHost = gethostbyname(pstrHost); Since this function requires Ansi string, I think you have to convert your Unicode one. There are different approaches. I would suggest trying this simple MFC-based method: CString yourString = . . .; CStringA ansiString = yourString;   gethostbyname(ansiString); I hope it works.   See also: CT2A macro, WideCharToMultiByte function.   ...Show All
