• Visual C++ Function or algorithum for finding a value

  Hi, im currently trying to make s simple program that calculates a formula that the searching paramether cannot be calculated directly, its something like : 1/x = z.log10(x+y) where we know the value of Y and Z and need to find a fitting one for X.

• Visual Studio Team System "AvoidNamespacesWithFewTypes" in Code Analysis

  The help on this topics indicates that the casue for this warning is: "A namespace other than the global namespace contains fewer than five types." I get such a warning in a namespace that has 11 types defined in it (10 classes and one interface). So why am I getting the warning which seems to apply only for namespaces having fewer than five types Is that a bug in code analysis I'd take a closer look at your binary.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Displaying System Time in Text Box

  How can I get the system time to display within a text box, I'm writing an application that looks at the system time and compares it with the time from another device.

• Visual Basic VB Express Edition Tool - How to find?

  A few years back, I bought the developer's edition of Sql Server 2000. This software had a tool called "Query Analyzer". You could create all kinds of DML (data manipulation) and DDL (data definition language) statements and test them out. I recently bought VB 2005 Express Edition. I am looking for the tool that would give me the same or similar support without having to modify the application I am developing. For one, I would like to query specific system tables. While I have used and appreciate the "Database Explorer", it seems to be limited in functionality. i.e. there is no sandbox to play in like Query Analy ...Show All
