• Visual C++ extern "C" not working in 2005

  Hi, I try to create a simple dll, native, standard libraries, no MFC, no ATL. No .def file. The following code build in VC++ 2003 created the dll with an exported function with name SetPowerUser . The same code in VC++ 2005 creates the dll and the exported function name is: _ SetPowerUser@4 . Can you figure out what is wrong with the code below cpp file: #include "stdafx.h" #include <shellapi.h> #include <msi.h> #include <msiquery.h> #pragma comment ( lib , "Msi.lib" ) extern "C" __declspec ( dllexport ) int __stdcall SetPowerUser(MSIHANDLE hInstall) { .... return ERROR_SUCCESS; } // SetPowerUser StdAfx.h: #pragma once #ifndef ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reference rasterizer

This doesn't matter for me anymore... Anyway it's a bit odd for me! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Save a file???

  I am creating a web browser (eariler versions on www.freewebs.com/evanmulawski ) and am wondering how to create a 'save target as...' context menu strip item, so that I can save the file that the mouse is currently on. Thanks, Evan Mulawski If I am reading you correctly I think what you need to do is a 2 step process and you are only doing 1 step at the moment. In the save dialog allow the user to select where they want to save the file to, as soon as they select where to save the file to then you need to copy the location of the current file to the new location using fileIO. So I guess in General you get the location of the source (web page) and the target from the savedialog then use a simple fileIO copy file. Does ...Show All

• SQL Server trim trailing white spaces

  Hi All, I have a column which has some white spaces that I suspect is tab delimeted one. So when I use a rtrim(col1) it would not trim those. So i used a scrip component and wrote this line, Row.trimDetail = RTrim(Row.detail) here trimdetail is an o/p column and detail is the input col with the trailing spaces. but still I don know why the column has that spaces. Can someone help me to figure out what is the problem Thanks in advance, Phil Brammer wrote: Well, are you sure they are spaces and not tabs You could also just use a derived column transformation to do the trimming instead of a script. that likely won't help here though. haa that may be the issue..
