• Visual Basic LoadLibrary returns null

  Hello, I have a windows application in VB .NET (VS 2005) that tries to load an unmanaged dll dynamically using LoadLibrary. However the LoadLibrary constantly returns 0. I checked the last error message right after the call to LoadLibrary using Marshal.GetLastWin32Error and it returns 998. It is interesting that when I laod the same dll in VC++ .Net using the LoadLibrary function it returns the correct handle. I appreciate if someone could help me out with this, Thanks in advance STabrik wrote: Hello, I have a windows application in VB .NET (VS 2005) that tries to load an unmanaged dll dynamically using LoadLibrary.

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much... Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him. However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didn't work on his PC giving the error: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". I was wo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using visual inheritance with the UserControl

  Hi there: I have a UserControl where I defined som controls (groupbox and buttons) and I'd like to inherit from this to create other user controls (generic functionality, etc.). I am using C#. I exported my UserControl as a template and now I have it as part of the "Add new item" wizard. However, none of the controls are visible in the designer. Moreover, if I try to assign properties to these controls in my InitializeComponent method (I know, shouldn't do that, I just wanted to try to see if it works) I get an error in the designer saying the control is not defined. Is this even posisble, or should I go try some other approach Thank you, Thanks for the input, it works like that now (sort of). What I have ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using Correlation...

  Is it possible to start a workflow with a listen activity, two branches with a handleExternalEvent in each of them. Both events consuming the same interface and event, but responding to different correlation tokens. There is a sample in HOL (05 – Communicating with the Workflow Host Application), where the correlation value property is set through a CallExternalMethod activity in the beginning of each branch. But my question is, Is it possible to set the correlation “subscription” value, without using a callmethod (or eventsink) to do just that. Mikael Although this was not the answer I was hoping for, I am (as many times before) thankful for your help. I was looking at creating my own CorrelationService, but a little too m ...Show All

• .NET Development Suggestion: Overload TryParse to accept defaults

  Hello- Most simple types (bool, int, double, etc) support a static TryParse function that will take a string, and a typed variable to try to parse that string into. It would be handy if there was a second overload of this TryParse function in each case that would also take a default value. Here's how it currently looks: bool foo; if (!bool.TryParse("true", out foo)) foo = true; Here's how it could look: bool foo; bool.TryParse("true", out foo, true); Thanks for the consideration, Eric Hey Stephen- Feeling like a stupid user in action here, but I'd actually tried going there first. I couldn't figure out how to get to a point where I can submit th ...Show All
