• Visual Studio Express Editions Going to give winsock2 a go. Thanks

  This is my code: #include <afxsock.h> int main(){} And this is the error messages I get, cannot find " afxsock.h" Then linked up the directory where I found it (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\mfc) then it complained again and needed windows.h I linked it up again and tried to compile, however now it needs something called uafxcwd.lib which lies in (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib\AMD64\atlmfc) and (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib\IA64\mfc) - What do I have to do to finally get this compiled Will it go on forever asking me for libraries can I add a master include library that will eliminate all my problems forever Cheers Idar ...Show All

• .NET Development Why doesn't System.Array have an indexer?

  I'm probably missing something here, because my all of my searches came up with nothing. It seems only natural for Array to have an indexer. But instead, we have to use Get/Set Value().

• .NET Development Retrieving Keys and Relationships using a schema file.

  I'm having the hardest time retrieving keys and relationships in my schema file. Is there a way to do this with XPath or SOM If you do know could you provided some code or an sample article or blog that I can use as reference because all the code samples that I use don't work. Please help. Thank you. If you want to use SOM, please tell us whether you use .NET 1.1 or .NET 2.0.

  Help. I was actually able to compile and run spacewars on my 2nd pc: my #1 pc is running X64, and it dosnt like anything to do with directx working pc: p4 2.4, cheep abit motherboard, 1 gb ram, xp pro, 600gb storage.. combo drive, dvd dl burner, ati x850pro, dlink wireless usb nic, midi 4x4 usb controller, and some other junk that probably dosnt matter.

I plugged in my microsoft sidewinder joystick (7 or 8 buttons) and none of them would trigger the game. thre is an xml file for input settings, but i am a huge NewB , and can barely compile and run ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Now that we've made a total mess of things... How to put it back again

  It all started when we added three new assemblies and files to the solution. Not noticing the "Add Solution to Source Control" in the massive solution explorer context menu, we added the assemblies manually using Source Control Explorer Add Files / Add Folder. To our surprise it was as if these files were not in source control at all! You could edit them all day without checking them out. You had to check them out using source control explorer or nothing, and they did not show locked in solution explorer. They do show up in the check in window. So we tried to create an entirely new project by adding the existing solution to source control. This was an even worse idea. What we got was the new assemblies at one level in th ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting aggregate returns with single parameter(matrix)

  I want do a comparison with 2 years worth of data: IE: I have a column that is either calendar year, quarter or month. Only one parameter must be passed for this but the preceding year must also be called. Like when Qauter1 2004 is selected it must return: Q1 2003 Q1 2004 Field!Value Field!Value I can only get it to show all the years or one. Any help much appreciated. You could do this several ways. A couple that spring to mind are: Use the Filter tab in the Table/Matrix properties window and use an expression thats based on the parameter value. In the expression you can say something like =(Fields!period_column.Value = Parameters!period_parameter.Value) Or ...Show All

• SQL Server Save only the date in a datetime field

  Hello. A question please. Can I save only the date in a datetime field I don't want the hours. Not really. Using any of the intrinsic date datatypes, you will always have the time portion being stored. But, the default time is midnight, so it is common practice to just store date information by making sure to only pass in the date portion, and you can basically ignore the time. If you don't trust users and the other programmers to get it right (and who does :) then you could put an instead of trigger on tables with dates to make sure (which I would actually do, if you have an automated way to build code, like data modeling tools, or simply using system metadata) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Irregular Sized Forms?

  How do i create a form in WM5-NetCF2 that only takes up the bottom half of the screen.. e.g. is like more like a dialogue box that hovers over the undeling form without taking up the full screen.. I tried changing the form size "this.Size = new Size(100, 100);" but that has no effect and seems to be ignored.. Thanks On WM forms are supposed to be full screen and NETCF enforces that.
