• Visual Studio Express Editions VB.Net & WMI & BCD

  All, I am trying to use enumerateobjects() in the BCD WMI programming and are having some problems. I have everything working except for this one function. If anyone has any experience with this please help. Here is the MSDN information on it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/BCD/bcd/enumerateobjects_bcdstore.asp My biggest problem is that I am getting a "Type Mismatch" error any time I pass a UInt32 into EnumerateObjects. That is what the value type is suppose to be but for some reason it is not working. I have tried to use Convert.ToUIn32(Cint(1)) and Convert.ToUInt32(CInt("1")) and even just use 1 and many different variations and I always get the same errors. I tried changing the type from UInt32 ...Show All

• Visual C++ MIDL : how to declare a function returning a struct?

• .NET Development VS 2005 WebService Structers

  In a VS 2003 web service I could create a public structure and have my web appliation use this structure and pass it along to the web service. In 2005 it seems it will not show this structure as a datatype in my web application, no matter what I try. Any ideas Thanks.

• Visual C# C# Or C++ .net?

  Does C# Have The Power Of C++, Or C++ Still The Best I Am Talking From 3D Application Side If you plan on using legacy/existing C++ code via COM I would stay away from C#. You can't pass an array from C# to C++ via COM. This can pose a serious problem. If you decided to write certain speed critical parts of your code in C++ and call it from C# you can not pass in arrays. Keep that in mind. ...Show All

• .NET Development Any CPU and Managed C++

  I have a C# smart client built using “Any CPU”, the application references a managed C++ assembly that I’ve compiled into both x86 and x64 dlls. Is there any way to redirect the assembly loader to load the correct dll given the client’s platform (apart from manually) Is there any way to configure ClickOnce to deploy the correct dll thanks, rich You are correct in your assumptions. As you already know there is no app config setting to redirect based on bitness. Also, you may bind to different assemblies at runtime than you built against. That include mixing 32bit and 64bit. In general if people are deploying any cpu entry points they are truly agnostic. Have you evaluated how managed C++ is being used Can you u ...Show All

• Community Chat Virtual Intelligence, AI

  People we need to talk about this. When people talk about this, they say its based on storing and retriving information. The learning process for the computer would be to save as much information as possible from its interactions with the environment. But when I think about this, I feel its a restriction to learning. Consider this, when we are small adding two numbers 2 and 3, would be done on fingers or on a peace of paper. But when we grow up we dont use the fingers or paper. So my point is: The input(add 2 and 3) remains the same, also the output(5) remains the same. So where did the process of learning go. Thus, I would suggest that a machine should not only learn and save in information, it should also learn to proce ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I output subset of a table to a flat file in SSIS?

  Hi All, I have a table A. I need output subset of a table A to a flat file using query, like: select A.* from A inner join B on... ..... inner join C......where left(A.id, 3) = B.sid.... AND B.num between 100 and 200). How can I do this in SSIS Which data flow item I may need Thanks   Well there are several ways you could approach this. One possibility is to use a "Data Reader Source" item. In the Advanced Editor of this item, under the Component Properties tab, you may specify a SqlCommand.  Another possible way is to use the "OLE DB Source" item. Double click the item to view the "OLE DB Source editor". Change the data access mode to "SQL command". Some cont ...Show All

• Visual Basic how do we know how a form s been closed

  Hi, If I have a form with cancel button, accept button . .. I want to know how the for s been closed. the reason is I have a treatement that I should do only of the user s clicked Accept button. otherwise I should do another treatement. I want to detect how the form s been closed in the form code events itself and not the form that s loaded this form. Thank you well one way is to create a boolean value globally and set this to false. When the user presses the accept button, set this value to true. in the form_closing event (or wherever you are going to perform your action), check this value. If its true then you know the user pressed the accept button, otherwise its false therefore something else is closing it. Does this he ...Show All
