• Software Development for Windows Vista Errors in winnt.h file using visual c++ 2005 express edition and mar. 15 sdk

  Hello. I get the following errors when I try to include winnt.h in my code. I tried using the newest sdk as well as the previous release, and both files seem to generate the same errors. This must be a common problem, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm including stdio.h, xlcall.h, windef.h and winnt.h in my code. Maybe I need to include another header. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

• Windows Live Developer Forums MySQL, VE API, and around 1Million places to display

• Visual Studio PLK Request taking a long time

  Hi, I applied for a PLK yesterday at 11am. I have still not recieved a reply regarding the application. I was wondering how long it usually takes Thanks. Ben. If all else fails, send me an email (just remove the '.online' portion of my email address), and I can check on this for you. The email that's supposed to be sent out, apparently doesn't always work. The program manager checks the request queue several times a day, so if you don't see an email with your PLK within 24 hours (1 working day), definitely post here, or send me a note. P.S. We are working on getting that site fixed (redesigned) so that you can readily retrieve your PLK and review the data you initially submitted. I don't h ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to wrap the text in Check boxes?

  Hi, I am using .Net 2.0.I am using check boxes.However the text of the check boxes is large.It requires the control (on which the check box is placed) to be expanded in order to see the complete text of the check box. Is there a way to wrap the text of the check box so that after certain length we can have the text get displayed on the next line Thanks, nhd You can simply use newline characters in the checkbox text property to make the caption appear on multiple lines.

• Visual Studio Team System Starting with TS builds

  Hello We have recently migrated all .NET projects from VisualSourceSafe to Team Foundation and we are quite happy with the results, so we are continuing in our path towards TS-TFS. The next step is builds. We currently use MSBuild scripts for developers and for automatic builds. I am trying to understand how to "migrate" these scripts to TFSBuild. I am very confused because I have seen that TFSBuild is based on MSBuild and that the TFSBuild.proj files generated in VS look exactly like MSBuild files, but nowhere is it explained how to "migrate" my current scripts to the new VSTS-TFS environment. It should be really simple if one tool is based on the other. I get the impression I'm missing something. Can you give ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why isn't CellStyle Format preventing alpha characters in Number format column?

  Hi all, I'm a bit confused here. I set the CellStyle Format for each column in my datagridview to be: 1) Number 2) Date 3) Currency 4) Just Text. So why are letters allowed to be typed into the Number column, or the date column If I'm using the wrong property, then what would be the correct one I don't want to use validation - b/c then it's too late. I want to prevent a non-legal character from ever being written into the cell. Thanks.

• SQL Server How to join 2 datasets without sorting

  Hi, In one of my packages, I have join data from 2 data sets. The problem is 'Join' requires both dataset to be sorted and I can't sort one dataset without 'sort' transformation. The real problem is since I have to sort 65million records, the sort operation sucks always. The other option is using 'Lookup', but since I have to do 'Range Lookup', it is taking hours and hours to process less # of records. My question is, is there any other way, I can do join of 2 datasets without sorting Timothy Tim wrote: Just curious as to why we need to sort it when I don't really need it to be I don't necessarily care for Merge Join I could be happy with Nested or Hash. Any join operation requires a sort. This is no ...Show All
