• Visual C++ CString m_pchData undeclared in new VC++

  I am converting an unmanaged windows MFC app from VC6 to VC8.  I have a class derived from CString.  In it, I reference m_pchData.  In VC6, this was no problem.  In VC8, I get a C2065:'m_pchData':undeclared identifier error. Has the implementation of CString changed since VC6 I am referencing m_pchData like so: m_pchData[3] in VC6. Also there is a line: AssignCopy(stringSrc.GetLength(), stringSrc.m_pchData); for which I get another identifier not found message. Could you please assist with the appropriate conversions into VC8 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Flickering background when resizing window

  I'm experimenting with Avalon and I notice heavy flickering when a window is resized. This can be easily seen by just creating a blank Avalon project with Visual Studio and (rapidly) resizing this application's main window. What I see is a white background, with parts of it flashing to black (and back to white) when the window is resized. I thought that Avalon is supposed to eliminate flickering, so what am I doing wrong The good news is you aren't doing anything wrong . The "no flicker" behavior really applies to changing window contents on a window of static size and position. Unlike other graphics platforms, Avalon applies all ...Show All

• SQL Server Avoiding deadlock

  I have a stored procedure spUpdateClient, which takes as params a number of properties of a client application that wants to register its existence with the database. The sp just needs to add a new row or update an existing row with this data. I tried to accomplish this with code somethign like this. (The table I'm updating is called Client, and its primary key is ClientId, which is a value passed into the sp from the client.) IF (SELECT COUNT(ClientId) FROM Clients WHERE ClientId=@ClientId ) = 0 BEGIN -- client not found, create it INSERT INTO Clients (ClientId, Hostname, Etc) VALUES (@ClientId, @Hostname, @Etc) END ELSE ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying and late bound data providers

  Hi Normally in the projects I work on we use a strict provider based architecture for accessing data. Obviously this is done to avoid having any nasty database or XML or something else dependancies in the logic of the program. The problem on the other hand is that querying such data stores must also be part of the provider meaning that all possible ways of querying data must be covered by the provider which obviously isn't feasible. Now I was hoping that LINQ could solve this problem, but I order to do that (at least in the way I currently hoping) I need to know if you can do something like the following. Assume we have an abstract class ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Designer Rules Support

  Hi, I'm in the process of trying to setup a demonstration application which shows an example of workflow and rules management. I need to basically setup a workflow, set some properties, then run the workflow from the designer. Part of this demo include the use of an IfElse activity and a Policy activity which link with the rules engine portions. I've trundled through the examples and the current samples get things about 75% of the way there, and I've probably gotten another 5-10% there by looking at the threads here, but I'm still stuck. Here is what's happening: 1. Create a new workflow 2. Drop an IfElseActivity on the design surface, thro ...Show All

• Visual C# Trying to import a 3rd party C++ DLL into my C# code.

  Hi, Trying to import a 3rd party C++ DLL into my C# code. I have an entry point that is defined in C++ as: bool TSysCall(int id, int param, void *ex) I am having trouble trying to figure out how to define and use it in C# since the 3rd parameter of the function call is a void pointer and can be a pointer to an int, a pointer to a byte and a pointer to a structure in some cases.
