• Visual C++ warning C4273: 'MyClass::MyMethod' : inconsistent dll linkage

  Hi -   I'm cleaning up some code and would like some feedback on link warning C4273. Here's the scenario... I'm referencing unmanaged code in a C# win app via a C++/CLI wrapper. The wrapper wraps an unmanaged Win32 dll. So I have 3 apps - MyCSForm.exe, ManagedWrapper.dll, unmanaged.dll (and .lib). The warning occurs in the ManagedWrapper.cpp code as follows: ManagedWrapper.hpp class __declspec(dllexport) ManagedWrapperClass{ public:   bool myMethod(); } ManagedWrapper.cpp bool ManagedWrapperClass::myMethod() { /*call unmanaged code */ };  // C4273 warning here. The unmanaged.dll also has its classes declared with __declspec(dllexport). I reference the unmanaged.lib in my linker. The ManagedWrapper.dll is inclu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GraphicsDeviceManager without a Game object?

  Hullo all, I bumped this thread: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1028285&SiteID=1 As I had a problem creating my own ContentManager, but I've since worked out the reasno I was having this issue, but not a solution. the problem seems to be ( GraphicsDevice component not found.exception) that the ContentManager wants a GraphicsDeviceManager registered as a service, and not a GraphicsDevice afterall, despite what the exception says. However, since GraphicsDeviceManager accepts a Game in its constructor only, and I haven't got one (I'm trying to get XNA running in WinForms) I'm not sure how, if at all, it is possible to get the ContentManager to work with a GraphicsDevice object that hasn't been created by a Grap ...Show All

• .NET Development Detecting remove lock event on file

  I have the following problem: We have to write an application that acts on changes on files. For example editing a word - file. We achieve this using the FileSystemWatcher from .NET 2.0.  When the word-file is saved the events correctly trigger, but the files are locked, which causes our action to fail, but this is not the problem. But when the user closes the word-application. The application release the lock,but  we can't seem to catch this event so we could run our actions then.   Does anybody has as solution Thx, gert Windows doesn't provide any way to either detect a lock or be notified that a lock may have been released.

• Windows Forms Custom control for time editing

  Hello. I need to implement a custom edit control for entering a time in the format: Hours:Minutes:Seconds where Hours can be 0-65535, Minutes and Seconds 0-59. I need a spin control (up down arrows) like in the standard DateTime control as well.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XamlReader? Codebehind classes don't work?

  I've asked this before but I'll ask again in hopes of getting someone from MS or otherwise to tell me that I cannot read a serialized codebehind+xaml object. XamlWriter produces "bad" xaml that can't be parsed by the reader. Here is my orginal post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=783027&SiteID=1 So if this cannot be done is there a way to customize the Xaml produced Rob had an example where he created a brand new XamlWriter but that seems a little overkill, couldn't I override the default Xaml created by MarkupObject Is there anyone out there that has some info on this topic Is xaml not suited for doing what I want Should I just serialize to binary / xml using normal ...Show All

• SQL Server Cube from denormalized table: Several dimensions vs. one dimension with several attributes

  Hi, I want to build a cube in AS2005 from a denormalized table. The table consists of facts from the last three years, with all interesting attributes (about 12) in a seperate column of this table. Actulally this attributes would form three dimensions (semantically). I thought of two different approaches to structure the cube: 1. Building a separate dimension for each attribute or 2. Building three dimensions (or to be more radical : one dimension) that contains all attributes In my understanding, with the new concept of attribute based hierarchies, both variants should have the same effect on aggregations, performance and so on. Only difference would the structure shown to the user . Is this right Does a ...Show All

I need my app to confirm the exit with the user and also perform some maintenance type tasks before it exists as well. is that all i only have to put that in all 50 forms, well thats a whole lot easier than finding out what line or few lines of code it will take to abort the shutdown in the code i already have. Not too mention your method is too redundant, which beyond making the application larger makes it harder to update the shutdown process for future versions. ...Show All
