• Visual C++ prob with DLLs msvcr80 etc, and deplying a simpl hello world on target machines

  Hello, I am an absoulte newcomer to Visual Studio, let alone Visual Studio 8. I am having problems deploying a simple Hello World (developed on XP) application to windows 2000 and 2003 machines. It runs on machine on which it is built but not as a 'release" on destination machine (DLLs missing). Problem ONE I tried copying the named DLLs (msvcm89.dll, msvcr80.dll, mscroee.dll - last one down loaded) to the destination machine (windows 2000), now it says to set registry entry for .NET framework root installation etc. I tried building using /MT switch but it says incompatible /clr option (Common Language Runtime support). Every option under Common Language Runtime support gives same error. If I select 'No Common Language Runtim ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. You make many valid points. I tend to agree, however, I'm trying to live by the other approach (dynamic) for a while to see how it works out. Who knows, I may switch ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dates in PropertyGrid

  There seems to be a bug with dates properties shown in the PropertyGrid. When the value column of the PropertyGrid is wider than the standard monthview control, the dropdown extends the whole of this width, with the monthview appearing on the left, and a large amount of white space to the right. This doesn't look great. What's curious is that if you look at date property of a control in the properties window of Visual Studio, e.g. the MaxDate of a monthview control, this bug doesn't occur, i.e. the dropdown appears on the right and has a width which matches that of the monthview control that it contains. Any views on how to get this correct behaviour in one's own applications Hi, Please post your b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Loop through system colors?

  How can I loop through all the system colors I want to draw a filled rectangle with each of the colors that are available & print them to a laser printer so I can see & compare the various shades of gray that each color prints out as. Thanks... Instead of enumerating through the colors and creating all those brushes which you are not disposing, you can just enumerate through all the brushes in the Brush class and not have to create brushes of your own. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS Crash on Check-In

  When I try to check-in a file that I have previously checked-out I get an APPCRASH in devenv.exe. I'm running VS 2005 SP1 with the Vista hotfix. I have read a couple different posts related to F-Protect, Visual Studio 2005 and Team Explorer causing a crash. This was very similar to my problem, except I see no reference to ntdll.dll as the FaultModule. Instead the FaultModule is StackHash_9eb0. I don't have real-time virus protection running, so I do not believe this is the issue. Does anyone have any ideas I'd rather not uninstall / re-install...it takes forever. Apologies. No idea what might be causing this. I think your best bet is to call MS product support and see if they have anything in th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Label not visible on form when Text property is blank.

  I blanked out the Text in design time since I only want it to display when a button is clicked during run time. However, I wanted to relocate the label on the form and there's no indication of where it is during design time. Is there any way to display the label on the form and access its properties in the Properties window Go to the properties window (normally F4) and select the control from the dropdown list of controls on the form at the top of this window. The control will be selected.  Which will enable you to drag and reposition it. Or you could adjust the properties directly to reposition it. For what you are trying to do - I'd leave the text alone (with text in there) so its always easy to drag it around at desi ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Text and Linking

  I'm looking to redevelop an SVG map based application to WFP/e. There are two SVG elements that are used extensively that I cant find any equivelent to: - <use> element for referencing existing objects. <textPath> for rendering text along a path. Could anyone tell me whether if there are alternatives or other mechanisms that can be used Hi, Interesting to hear from somebody else that faces the same challenge of redeveloping an SVG application to WPF/e as I do. Even if <use> and <textPath> are not important for me there are other things I miss from SVG. The main thing is lack of css-support, it seams that one has to bloat the markup with per-element properties which is a big prob ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File Data Source

  Is there away to use wild card in the file name for the flat file data source Like //servername/directory/*.txt No problem. To better qualify my answer BTW, you can use wild cards in your source. For example, you can look in the built-in examples that ship with SQL to see an example of this. See C:\program files\microsoft sql server\90\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\CaptureDataLineage Sample for more info. The loop gives you more flexibility though with this and allows you to do more advanced breakpoints and multiple tasks against the source file. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rants on XNA 1.0

  This is my first reaction when I installed and tried the 1.0 of XNA. To summarize my feeling: it's still 95% for XBox and no nearer to replace the old MDX 1.0. So I decided not to migrate from MDX to XNA though I want to do that very much. I feel like MDX 2 more; amen to MDX 2. The hardest issue for me is the content pipeline, which is very necessary, but the workflow is fixed and it assumes the contents are only built before the program runs. The helper functions wrapping D3DX can only be used with types in the content pipeline. I have to utilize the full content pipeline just for generating something dynamically, of course with significant performance cost. Or I have to write those D3DX utilities my self. Currently I don't have a good id ...Show All

• SQL Server Destination resets when changing selected databases

  I discovered that everytime I need to add a database to my backup Maintenance Plan, after I select the new database from the drop-down of databases, the Destination automatically resets back to a default location. I'm assuming this is a bug that will be resolved at some point, but in the meantime, I need to see if there is a way I can deal with this permanently. I am not the only one adding databases to the backup routine so I can't verify that this setting is properly changed every time we have a new database (which is about once a week). Thanks in advance. Actually, this is a server-side setting. If you make the registry setting on the server, and then connect to it from another node using Mana ...Show All
