• Visual C++ LNK2019, the EXTERN keyword and __imp_*

  Hi everyone, for hours I've been trying to build a particular library (particularly sdl) with a dependency to a static libary which I've successfully built before (particularly libjpeg.lib). Though I have listed this lib file by "additional dependecies" in the linker options (and I verified that it's being read, renaming the file for testing purposes results in a file not found error), I'm still stuck on some unresolved external symbols. The well-known linker error message looks like >IMG_jpg.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_jpeg_std_error referenced in function IMG_InitJPG then. Dumpbin actually shows me that the symbol exists inside the library (gives me "8982 jpeg_std_error" in the symbol ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you save size and position of windows form?

  Hi everyone, I have a question. On almost all win. apps. when you close the form and reopen it again it remembers the size and position on the screen. Is there a property in the IDE to make your form do that or do you do that programmatically If programmatically can you maybe point me to an example Thank you very much The program does not break. It does not appear that AutoSaveSettings() is being called. In answer to your next question, yes, Save My.Settings on Shutdown is checked in the project properties. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Keeping existing database files while installing a new version

  I made a program for a user that uses several database files that were included with the 1st deployment. I frequently install new versions of the program but every time I do that it overwrites any changes the user has made since the last deployment. I tried changing the publish settings so it would not include the database files during publish, but then when I installed the new version of the program on the users computer and ran the program, it gave a error message saying it couldn't find the database files. How do I install new versions without overwriting the user's database changes Right-click the database file in the Solution Explorer, and select Properties.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to create a small 3D Universe?

  Hello everyone, I've been banging my head on the wall for about 2 months not with DirectX, and I just simply can't get anything going in the right direction . So, I've taken parts from here and parts from there and gotten to render a simple scene, with a (I don't know if this is the correct term) skybox, a basic camera, and managed to make the camera follow the mouse movement and shows the correct part of the skybox. I must say it looks incredibly ugly due to probably the pictures I used for the 6 images, but never the less, it's working . Now, I've searched and read and reread and did some more reading and still can't find a way to make the background text look "better". What would be the correct words to search for, skybox, sk ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums MS VB Run Time Error 429

  Hello List, I hope you can assist me with a problem I created. I have a problem, I think, due to having an ADCenter.dll assembly out of synch with what is found in the system registry. This is based on the help text for the ActiveX component error, my application is throwing. I had to recreate this .dll and .tlb in order to modify the password hardcoded in the below routine. Private Sub SetAuthCredentials(ByRef pAPI As AdCenterAPI) We integrate the XML response from the web service into a Excel spreadsheet, and I believe that this the problem. The VB project contains a reference to the ADCenter, and is included into our Excel macros.

• Visual C# execute method from another form

  I would like to have a class with many methods used by all my project's forms. but how can access those methods available from inside of a form's class. thanks in advance, Edward well you simply create an instance of the class you wish to use, from any class (or any form, technically a form is a class file) and then execute the method however the method or property in question MUST be made public for other classes to access that method outside the class itself which has those methods. Example: //class Test public void DoTest() { //do stuff } //main form: Test theTestClass = new Test(); theTestClass.DoTest(); //will execute this method, since its accessible and exists in the ...Show All
