• Smart Device Development 850428 - strh instruction

  how can i tell embedded visual c++ not to produce strh, str, ldrh and ldr instruction, never ever in any part of my code this will solve the alignment exception very easily. i don't mind about the performance of my program. i prefer it to be reliable. i don't need MS to decide for me! i need an option not to use benefits of technology! i need an option to tell the compiler not to produce these instructions. how can i do that Could you possibly include a code snippet that demonstrates the problem as you see it I am having a hard time visualizing it - it'd be easier to speak about something I can "touch". ...Show All

• SQL Server Paging in Business Intelligent Reports

  I have finally been able to create a simple master detail report of the records in the database. Is there any way to create a new page after each record, or to keep a record all together on the same page It took me two days to get SQL Express installed properly so I could get this simple report. They don't make it easy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Cal I'm going to move this question to the RS forum, they'll have specific advice about writting reports.

• Smart Device Development Fail to create SmartDevice project in VS2005

  I've just installed VS2005 for the purpose of developing apps for the Windows Mobile 5 platform. Unfortunately, when creating a new SmartDevice project (ATL, MFC, Win32, etc); the creation either fails with no error or, more commonly, displays an error of "Object required" on line 4033 (which I assume is in the scripting code used by the wizard). FYI, I have IE7 installed. http://blog.markarteaga.com/IE7AndVS2005.aspx seems to indicate that IE7 and VS2005 have a compatibility problem. I followed the instructions on this link but still nothing's working. Anyone know what I can do to fix this Thanks much ...Show All

• Visual C++ after I upgrade my dll vc2005 project, can I use the dll of vc2005 in the previous vc6.0 big project?

  I am upgrading a vc6.0 project including a lot of dll and lib to vc2005 project. I wonder if I can use the dll and lib of vc6.0 project in vc2005 project On the othe hand, after I upgrade my dll vc2005 project, can I use the dll of vc2005 in the previous vc6.0 big project I thank you here in advance Don't try that unless you are planning to just have fun! If yours is going to be a serious application, you should have all dependencies on the same version of VC. I once tried to use VC7.0 LIBs in VC7.1. And spent days in resolving some issues which latter came to be know as "Compiler incompatibility at the binary level" as someone at Autodesk put it. Microsoft does not support that kind of stuff. ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I create a Integration Services project programatically???

  hi everyone, My vb .net app creates programatically a package. I mean, you can provide name, description, number of OLEDB/ADO connections, variables and so on, where it's stored, from a WinForm. Up to the moment, process only creates boxes separately wihtout links. My concern is after this successful cycle I only can open that DTSX and see its components but executing button is disabled (only possible with DTEXECUI.exe) from BIDS. Only when I create a project (DTSPROJ) and then I put that same .DTSX inside I am be able to execute it. Well, up to here all of this is very good. Things were created this way for some reason. My question now is how do I from my application in order to create dt ...Show All

• Visual C# Exception Performance

  Hi I have a method and there are chances tht exception will occur so i catch the General Excepion(i dont want to catch specific exp) catch (Exception xx) { //Do some thing.. } Since xx is not Used its giving a warning to avoid tht i replaced with empty catch. I need to know wether the empty catch is a performance overhead. catch { //Do some thing.. } Since i need to catch all exceptions which is the best choice.. You can replace: catch { ... } with: catch (System.Exception) { .... } to remove the warning. The only difference is that the first catch allows you to catch non-CLS-compliant exceptions (though you can't do anything with them). ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multiple Regression

  Good afternoon everyone, I am maintaining software which does statistical analysis. Currently, the code is in VC++ 6, although I am in the process of migrating the entire project to VS2005 C#. At the moment, I need to add a chunk of code which will perform a multiple regression statistical analysis to the VC++6 code. What C++ libraries can I use to perform the analysis I looked at the Gnu Scientific Library (http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/#platforms), but that seems to only compile under cygwin and unix. My google searches turn up nothing. It's really a very straightforward calculation: a least-squares best-fit for multiple variables. Excel does it quickly and simply. Can you recommend a good statistics library that will work for me Than ...Show All

• Visual Studio Retrieving "active" data connections

  Greetings everyone (or anyone), I am writing a little add-in and I am trying to figure out how to do something that I think should be simple: I want to retrieve the connections that are listed in the "Data Connections" in the Server Explorer. I can obviously access the UIHierarchy but what I really want is actually the connection(s) itself or the representation for the connection(s). Say the user has already defined a couple of data connections, I would like to get them and have access to the properties of the connection such as the connection string, and then access the field properties (isIdentity, etc). Essentially imagine that I am writing a custom properties form that shows the same information that the "Dat ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing data after passing an object into a workflow instance

  Hi, I have encountered a very strange problem. I am developing a workflow with web service activities, I am passing an object from my client through my workflow exposed web service and saving the object into the database. When I debug and look at the state of the object within the workflow it is missing data. I have checked the state of the object from within the web service (by overriding the workflow web services methed in a derived class) and the state is complete at that point. So it is just the trip into the workflow instance that is causing the problem. I understand that passing objects into a workflow instance uses a queue and that the object is serialized / deserialized using binary serialization during this process. With thi ...Show All
