• .NET Development Broken vtbl when calling COM functions from C#

  I've imported a COM library into a C# project and created a COM object from that library. The COM object in question has several exposed interfaces *most* of which function just fine. One of those interfaces however appears to have a 'broken' virtual table. The result is that calls to FunctionA() on the C# side actually call into FunctionB() on the COM server (hopefully the example makes this clear). Note: The same COM objects work just fine when called from C++/ATL. I was hoping one of the big brains on this forum could give me a clue as to why this is happening. Even some clue as to the best way to debug/diagnose this problem would be helpful. An example of the problem would go like this (not the actual code): ***** ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Petzold XBAP gets unauthorized access exception

  When we try to run http://www.charlespetzold.com/wpf/JeuDeTacquin/JeuDeTacquin.xbap from one user account on a PC it runs fine but using a different (older) user presentation host crashes with a system unauthorized access exception. Both accounts have computer administration rights. The same thing happens for all other XBAPs we've tried. XAML applications don't run either. Running an XBAP from Visual Studio in debug mode does work. We're using XP SP2 with .Net 3 RC1 installed. Anyone got any ideas what we could look at to rectify the problem Is there any other information we could post to help To try to see the difference between accounts, compare the proxy settings - in IE Tools - Internet Options - Co ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IDispatchMessageInspector.BeforeSendReply - Accessing Service Variable is null

• Visual Studio VSIP - Path to selected folder

  I am having some problems figuring out how to get a Path to a selected Folder. By path I mean Full Path. Or at least something that would get me there. Currently my code looks like this ( in the Exec method, so i know my item is selected, and my command fired ). I am aware that ON the UIHeirachyItem I have no path, however, I should be able to navigate to the project Item, and get the path from there, and attach my items name to it. ( Perhaps there is a better more reliable way ) In any case, my projectItem is always returning null, and in any case, i have no guarentee i am acutally accessing the project item, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks. try { UIHierarchyItem fld = firstSelectedUIHierarchyItem(); // _applicationObj ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The Unofficial "Hooray I'm Done With my DBP Game" Thread

  When you get done with you game and sumbit it, crow about it here. A little over 24 hours left until the deadline and I'm so amazed I'm done, so much better than college Thanks to ZMan for his help, good luck all. I'll post the source code for my submission once the deadline hits. Bill Finished mine at about 1am PST last night. It's called SolarBall and it's basically like a two-man space soccer. After I've had a nap, I'll post the binaries if anybody's interested. I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody's entries. Two weeks is a very short amount of time to develop a game, even a simple one, but XNA seems to have brought back alot what it set out to do: the one man coding furiously alone in his bedroom. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop Microsoft.Design and Generic outputs

  Working on a deserialization loader mechanism, I started out with a public method signature which looked like this: public static T Load<T>( string filename) FxCop suggests: CA1004 : Microsoft.Design : Consider a design where YamlLoader.Load(String):T doesn't require an explicit type parameter in any call to it. I what it's suggesting is that invoking this method with code like this may be hard to understand because of the part in the angle-brackets below. Foo temp = YamlLoader.Load<Foo>( "temp.yaml" ); The only alternate design that seems obvious to me would be: public static void Load<T>( string filename, out T output) with calls looking like this: Foo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Future D3DX's not supporting SM1.x??

  I saw this in the October SDK readme October 2006 DirectX readme! wrote: Preview Release of the new HLSL Shader Compiler for Direct3D 9 Targets This release has a beta version of d3dx9d_31_beta.dll that includes the Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler enabled for Direct3D 9 targets (shader models 2.0 and later). The new compiler has no support for 1_x targets. This debug-only DLL allows developers to utilize the new Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler for their Direct3D 9 shaders, and will become the default compiler for all Direct3D shaders. Please try the new compiler by building your application with d3dx9d_31_beta.dll instead of d3dx9d_31.dll. Does this mean in future SDKs SM 1.1 will not be supported any more, or is this limitation j ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reporting result file.

  Is there any way I can do test reporting from the result file that got generated after the .webtest is ran I know the trx file is an XML file but there are tons of information in that file and it is very hard to tell what data I need... BTW, we do not have Team Foundation Server implemented here so we can't publish the test result. Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks, --WC Thanks for the reply. The reason we want to generate report base off of the webtest is because we want to have other tester to run the test as a regression smoke test rather than a load test. This is to minimize the number of manual smoke tests that needs to be run after a production deploy. I did look over the article that you included in your reply earl ...Show All

• SQL Server Using data from a Dataset as an automatic parameter in a second Dataset
