• Visual C++ XP style for IE Toolbar

  Hello friends, I m creating a toolbar for internet explorer. My application is VC++ ATL DLL which attach a toolbar to IE. I m using VS-2005. Now i implemented XP style for the toolbar using manifest file. Its working fine, means my buutons on toolbar are looking in XP style, but now button size has been increased. Before XP style size was (22 , 81), but after XP style it becomes (30 , 87). Due to this reason my buttons are not fitting on the toolbar. Buttons bottom edge is hidden due to increased height. if someone know what is the prob then plz reply.... Thanks in advance. ###Harry### Did you manage to fix this problem I have the same problem with my MFC application (using VS2005), all the control become bigger when the xp theme ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Best way to write video player

  I need advice on the above matter. 1. DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback The library didn't provide a function/method to clean up the screen. 2. Media Control Interface (MCI): if I set a playlist with 10 video files, when the player play the last video i notice the first image repeat twice. 3. Windows Media Player control I didn't try out this component as most of the forum suggest that the component is not stable when import into program. For my case, the player is most probably play more than 1 video so is not user friendly each time the user need to click the open button to select video files. The video will clean up the screen each time it finish the video. Do anyone know any other best way to solve the above matter. Please advice. Thank ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle - MRefBuilder and .NET 3.0

  How should I go about documenting stuff using .NET 3.0 framework I tried changing the mrefbuilder.exe.config appropriately (both using Sandcastle Help File Builder and manually) but I keep getting "Unknown target platform '3.0'" If I set it to 2.0.50727 then it "works" but links to 3.0 specific things are obviously missing Is this a known issue Either way, can this be fixed as 3.0 now is officially released regards, Simon Anand, Many thanks for the hints. Don't want to be a pain but it would be helpful if you could include the build string, is this possible I had more success with the 'core' .NET 3.0 assemblies than I did when trying to include the WCF, WWF, and WPF assemblies.

• Visual Basic Suppressing events such as text change

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Multiple Endpoints Sample Broken

  I am trying to run one of the WCF Samples illustrating how to configure multiple endpoints, (located at TechnologySamples\Basic\Service\MultipleEndpoints), however I receive the following error when it tries to reference the second endpoint: {"There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc/secure that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details."} I've tried for several days to get a simple example to work but I've noticed that the client is never able to find any of the non-default endpoints (those with relative addresses, 'secure' in the sample mentioned above). Here is a copy of the web.conf ...Show All

• Visual C++ Memory leaks in managed classes that use dynamically-allocated native structures

  I apologize for the textbook question but I have spent enough already looking for the answer in the "textbook" (MSDN) not finding the answer that I decided to ask here, I hope you don't mind throwing in a quick answer. I am forced to use dynamically-allocated native data structures in managed classes and I am getting memory leaks because I am not properly freeing the allocated resources. I was hoping to add a destructor to the managed class but that didn't help - the destructor was never called when the object was destroyed. After reading the article "Changes in Destructor Semantics" in the Library, I still can't figure out why (note: VC++ 2005 is my first interaction with .Net – I skipped 2002 and 2003). I know there is more than one ...Show All

• SQL Server Variable/Expression/Property Confusion

  First and foremost, I'm officially and thoroughly confused between Variable, Expression and settings. I need help clearify this up for me. I'm going to use the Flat File Connection as an example. I have: > A global variable named: FileToImportFullPath (string) that stores the full path of the file I want to import. Note: the file path will change has the package executes (the location of the file depends on a number of conditions, namely the Date and Time of the package execution) > A Flat File Connection Manager used by a Flat File source in the package's main Data Flow So ideally, I want the Flat File Connection Manager's ConnectionString to be set to whatever the value of FileToImportFullPath variable is at the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom painted Diagram background

  Hi, This is no question but just some info on a thing I tried to do. I was looking for a way to have a textured background just as with the dataset designer. It did not seem difficult at first were it not for the fact that the graphic routines implemented by default use inches as the unit. So the key was to temporarily switch to pixels. Here's an example: public partial class DALDesignerDiagram { public override void OnPaintShape( DiagramPaintEventArgs paintArgs) { paintArgs.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit .Pixel; Bitmap bitmap = Sfx.Dsl.Designers.Properties. Resources .Pattern; // Adapt to point to your bitmap resource. TextureBrush textureBrush = new TextureBrush (bitmap, new Rectangle ( new Poi ...Show All

• SQL Server Manual validation of external metadata

  Hi, is there a way to start validation of external metadata manual My problem is this: The package uses a variable as connectionstring for flatfile source, and another variable for the destination table. Running the package gives a warning about external metadata that needs to be updated. Normally I update this data by just opening the data flow, and answering the question for updating with yes. This time that deosnt work, I think because the variable is not set, so there can not be any conflicts with external metadata.

• Visual Basic Is VB2005 and VB.NET are same?

  Hi, I am new to VB2005 programming and i know it is a bit stupid question to most of you people. But i am unable to get a comprehensive answer to this question on different site. So i am confirming from you people that "when someone is referring to VB2005, does this mean that he is talking about VB.NET as well" in short, is VB.NET and VB2005 are same thing or not cheers, Using VS2005 you can create application which will require DOT NET 2.0 on the deploying machine. While creating application you can use any language (VB, C# etc.) Using VS2003 you can create application which will require DOT NET 1.1 on the target machine. again, while creating the application you can use any language of your choice. ...Show All
