• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with _lseek - Debug Assertion Failed!

  I have recently downloaded/installed VC++ 2005 Express on a computer with no previous VC++ software on it. I followed all the instructions listed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ and can get my solution to build. However, when I run it (F5) I get a "Debug Assertion Failed" Error. Debug Assertion Failed! Program:...

• Visual Basic can't find references

  I inherited this vb application. I can't even edit some forms because I get a class not registered exception so therefore I can't delete the offending class. So I look in the reference list and there are several with yellow exclamation points. A search of the microsoft web site brings up nothing. Where can I find these AxComCtl2 AxMSMask ComCtl2 MSMask I have similar problem too. It's windows application, which references that AxInterop.ComCtl2 assemblys. Reference path for that files is /obj folder in my solutions and when i look at that folder files are there. I can build my application and run it, and it will work fine untill EndInit() method of some of the AxInterop.ComCtl2's controls is called (mo ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing arguments to a function started by a thread

  I need to setup a thread to start a function that takes an int argument.. Any solution on how I can pass that argument There are a number of ways to do this, if it is as simple as just passing a parameter and not expecting a return value, then I would probably use the parametizedThreadStart method see http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/threads/parameters.shtml for how to do this. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Marble Blast Ultra Source?

  I noticed in one of the XNA blog posts, that GarageGames had ported their Torque shader engine and Marble Blast Ultra to managed code/C#. Is this source likely to ship with XNA Studio Express (or possibly people with the "creators club" membership), or did they just do it to show off It'd make a pretty cool starting app for people to look at and see how it should be done!(and they have done it with MechCommander2).   Kevin Jacobson wrote: How do you get Torque X, is it available for purchase now I can't find a price on it... They haven't released anything on prices yet. Keep your eyes on this page for more information regarding release dates and pricing information. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Advice needed: Hosting Winforms application in Winform application

  Let me explain what we need. We have an application that behaves like the Microsoft Management Console, let's call that application Management Console. In our Management Console we have a treeview on the left-hand side and a Window on the right-hand side. In the treeview we have nodes like Application1, Application2 ... clicking on each of these nodes should open the corresponding Winforms applications within our Management Console. It is like a plug-in system but the applications Application1, Application2 should be able to be run as stand-alone applications as well. With other words the devs of Application1 and Application2 should not change their code just because of our Management Console. Any leads concerning architecture and ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem displaying multiple forms in PocketPC 2003

  I am having a problem showing two different forms in Pocket PC 2003, and was wondering if anyone could help. I am using VS 2005. I have a main form that is showing. My app goes and loads a bunch of datasets from XML files. While this is happening, I want a dialog to appear with a progress bar showing that it is loading files (simple ui interface to make it obvious that something is happening). I have this coded, but I find that the program locks up when debugging. When I pause the running app (in VS 2005), to see where the program is hanging, it is always hanging trying to set form variables on the dialog form. For example, it may hang setting the label text property to show that it is loading file 2. Or it may hang when it tries to set th ...Show All
