• Visual FoxPro How to change assigned class libraries.

  Hi; I have often backed up my working folder to seperate sub folders like 'backup' etc. I have just noticed that in my project the class lib for some of the classes is the class lib in the backup folders. I am not sure how this happened. Is there a way to reassign all existing classes and objects so they use the one in my development folder Thx. Alenko, It's entirely possible too though that your forms and classes contain references to these backup classes. After you make adequate additional backups of everything. You can USE TheForm.SCX and repair the ClassLoc field with a REPLACE ClassLoc with strtran( ClassLoc, "\backup", "" ). Issue a COMPILE FORM TheF ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Asteroids game in the Channel 9 XNA launch video

  Any idea if this is going to be released to the community It looks like it would be a blast to play. I'd ask about the font support that was shown too, but I'm guessing that'll come in the first patch. I was kidding of course. They didn't have any swag at all the release party and I didn't win any of the prizes they gave away in the door prize drawings. So nope, I'm waiting for it all just like everyone else. *sigh*, but I do hope we see some stuff soon! so, I'm signing the petition too. /signs ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Catching Auto-CD launch window message in a game

  Hi, Does anyone know of a way to catch if a CD-Auto Launch is kicked off and not allow that window to become the foreground window. In my game I would like to keep my Windows app as the foreground window. I'm only looking to do this in the case of a CD-Auto Launch happening. Thanks in advance. No no not at all. The use case I was referring to is someone running your full-screen app and then putting a CD that's not related to your app (a movie say). In that case yes, you don't disable autorun. However, the use case you're describing is common and of course should be handled properly. This is how it should be done: - Every disc of your title must have an autorun.ini that ultimately launches an execut ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to add caspol security settings for referenced assemblies

  I'm building an Outlook add-in using VSTO 2005 targeted at Outlook 2003. I've successfully added the SetSecurity project (from the MSDN "Deploying VS2005 Tools for Office Solutions Using Windows Installer" 2 part series) to my solution, which appears to properly configure security for my primary dll when my add in is deployed to another machine using my setup project. However, the SetSecurity project sample doesn't appear to set up permissions for the com objects referenced in my add-in and my add-in throws an error when I run it. Specifically, my add-in uses the CDO and web browser com objects, so I'm guessing I also need to add Caspol calls for the Interop.MAPI.dll and the Interop.SHDocVw.dll to my setup project What's ...Show All

  My book says that I should create a MFC-project and create a messagebox. But I get build errors and I wonder, is this a correct script for a messagebox: MessageBox("Hello"); It depends on where that is. If it is in a function for a class derived from CWnd, then that should work. Since you are getting errors, try using: AfxMessageBox("Hello"); In the future, when you get errors, try to be more specific about what the error (message) is. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development .NETCF2 SP1 serial port memory leak

  I use .NETCF2 SP1 serial port class, my application leaks a lot. Basically, I have a GPS device on an IPAQ 2210 connected via a serial cable into com1.
