• Visual C++ System namespace ambiguity problem

  Hi, I'm new to Visual c++ and can't solve this problem. I'm writing a Windows Forms application and also have to use FMOD library to process audio data. This Library has a class called System. Unfortunately, System is also a global namespace which I have to use in Windows Forms. If I use, in the same file, the FMOD and System namespaces I get a lot of ambiguity errors (error code C2872) telling me that System is an ambiguous symbol because it could be System or FMOD::System. How can I resolve this problem You're just inheriting. //using namespace FMOD; // don't do this anymore class FmodSystem : public FMOD::System { // no need to add anything extra }; I also like Jonathan's idea of prepending a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Generic base for UserControl do not work

  Hello everybody, I use many UserControls doing quite the same stuff all the time. Now I wanted to code a generic base for all this controls. So I defined public partial class ManageItemPanelBase<T> : UserControl Now my "real" panels inherit from this Class. public partial class UserControl1 : ManageItemPanelBase<ItemClassNameGoesHere> VS do not allow me to use the visual designer anymore. I get the message: The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: UserControl1 --- The base class 'ManageItemPanelBase' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums One COM Add-in for all versions of Office (2000 and up)?

  If I create a COM Add-in for Office XP, will it also work for Office 2000/2003 Or do I need to create a new Add-in for different versions of Office Is there any reason to use COM Add-in vs. traditional XLA or DOT file beside having one dll that works for both Excel and Word My add-in does implement the IDTExtensibility2 interface. What I am worried about is that in my project, I have to refernce Microsoft Office 11.0 Object, Microsoft Word 11.0 Object, and Microsoft Powerpoint 11.0 Object. Now if I deploy this add-in to a user that doesn't have Office XP, they won't have those reference. I could deploy the referenced dlls with my add-in but will that violate Microsoft licensing ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Popup Placement in control template

  Hi I am developing menu control template and I need to position menu popups in a custom way. Popup supports CustomPopupPlacementDelegate property which can be used for this purpose. But the problem is I cannot set the delegate value in XAML because there is no type converter for it (i wander why it was not done using RoutedEvent). The MSDN sample tells about procedural usage of this delegate (i.e. in popup started button click, or Window.Initialized() etc), but I dont know how to do it in a control template. Any ideas of how to do that One way to do it is to add a static property on some class that returns a CustomPopupPlacementCallback public class MyPlacement { public static CustomPopup ...Show All

• Visual C++ URGENT!! New using VS 2005!! Problem on releasing...

  Hello, I have a question like I have two computers at home, one loaded VC++ 2005 Express and the other one with nothing but a clean Windows XP. I am working on a little project on the computer w/ VC++. After I compiled the project by using either (debug/release), when I try to run the exe file over the other computer (I copied the whole folder to the other computer already). It shows an application error. Is there anything I can do Thank you!! Luis All the links you have mentioned above are actually working perfectly fine - at least on my end.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Configuration help.

  I am having some configuration problems and I would like to solicite some help from this group. I have tried reading "Programming 'INDIGO'" on configuration but it seems that many of the tag names and configuration sections have changed so that it is very hard to take samples from the book and apply them. Is there a better reference on configuration of server and client Where would be the best place to go for samples At a very basic level I would like to configure a client and server to use or listen on an HTTP address and a TCP address. This seems simple enough but the configuration has me tripped up right now. Thank you. Kevin If you have a working ‘programmatic’ CustomBinding, you can a ...Show All

• .NET Development How to run 32 bit windows forms application on 64 bit environment?

  Hi, I am working on porting my 32 bit windows form application to 64 bit Vista OS. But I got an BadImageFormatException when launching interop dll which is written in Managed C++. The application is written by using C#, and it depends on an interop dll(managed C++) to call a win32 dll(C++). I trace the program execution by using Visual Studio 2005, and then found an BadImageFormatException is thrown when the application is trying to load the interop dll. The same interop dll is also used in another ASP.NET webform project, initially I got the same exception as windows forms, then I found from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435 , I can set a property( Enable32bitAppOnWin64 ) of IIS to make my 32 bit web application runnin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Brand new to XNA

  I've used Visual Basic before and have done some developing in Visual C# 2005 Express and found many beginner tutorials for that, but not all of the information can be appied to XNA, more specifically the design ability. Are there any completely basic video tutorials for XNA Like just something 2d and making a box move or something. Xbox 360 would be prefered if possible.

• SQL Server Import\Export Wizard Feature?

  A new developer tried to import a data file using the Import\Export wizard. Unfortuantely, the file had several format errors and the process aborted after reading one bad line. (I imported it using a BIDS package with error handling. The file had 454 bad rows.) Are there any options in the I/E Wizard to log\skip errors but continue processing After all, the I/E Wizard is designed for quick-and-dirty use and if it can't "handle" erroneous data "gracefully", it is not a very practical tool.

• Visual Studio Team System MS Project and TFS questions

  Here are some more issues that my client has encountered while using MS Project with TFS. Are there any work arounds 1. TFS seems unable to deal with special characters such as brackets ' [' e.g. Smith, John [ABC Company]. When synchronizing Project after making changes on TFS, it doesn seem to be ok with special characters like commas and parentheses ',' and '(' e.g. Smith, John (JohnSmith) 2. When changes are made to Remaining Work and completed work, how does MS Project interpret those updates It seems that the finish dates are dependent on the values entered in TFS. There is no easy way to 'approve' the changes before the update is done ( like with PWA). hey...i am sorry i missed out...one info.. ya you are correc ...Show All
