• Visual C++ native members of managed classes?

  Hi jedediah! What's the preferred way to effectively have a native class as a member of a managed class What do you mean class NativeClass { }; public ref class ManagedClass {   protected private:     NativeClass *_pNativeMember; };   jedediah wrote: It's the C#/VB monkies I'm worried about. C++/CLI seems to do the best job of making disposing transparent but it seems to be a house of cards with the other languages. I definitely Agree with that...

• .NET Development static data at process level (rather than AppDomain level)

  For unit testing purposes, I would like to be able to share some data between AppDomains. More precisely, I would like to achieve the "static" semantic but at the process level (as opposed to AppDomain level). Is there some simple way to do that (simple as opposed to building a whole dedicated remoting architecture for that purpose) Is there an equivalent of the LocalDataStoreSlot at the process level Thanks in advance, Joannes Vermorel You could create a remotable singleton -- although it sounds like you've considered that and don't want all the extra code.  If your code all runs on the same thread ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6: CType throwing error

  Greetings, after a long hiatus, I am briefly returning to VB6. I must have forgotten some essentials, because I get errors when using CType that I can't find a solution for. In particular: Dim eventObj As IHTMLEventObj Set eventObj = m_doc.parentWindow.event Dim src As IHTMLElement Set src = eventObj.srcElement Select Case TypeName(src) Case "HTMLInputElement" Dim inputElement As HTMLInputElement Set inputElement = CType(src, HTMLInputElement) The code compiles, but the runtime breaks on the last line and I get an error 'Variable not defined', with the HTMLInputElement argument highlighte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Disappearing data

  I am trying to get used to SQLServer having previously used both Access and MySQL. I downloaded August VB CTP and installed VB and the included SQLExpress. I can create databases, access eg Pubs and Northwind, and update these programmatically, but once I exit and restart the program my changes \ additions \ deletions are gone.

Can anybody point me in the right direction Thanks The problem/opportunity is the following.  When you hit F5, Visual Studio copies the MDF ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WSS Customization how to remove Process Guidance?

  Not sure if this is the right forum to ask but since it gets created by TFS I'll ask here. I've been creating my own TFS template using the MSF Agile as a baseline and I'm having almost everything the way I want now, except the WSS site. I'd like to remove the Process Guidance from the left menu of the WSS sites created. Does anyone know how I can do this I already removed all the content under it by removing certain things in my TFS template (so when you click Process Guidance it gives 404 in WSS) but I'm not sure how to change the WSS site left menu. Is it the .stp file I need to customize I'm not sure what tool can open the stp file ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel screen updates - real slow

  Hi, We are developing a modelling application where we are effectively showing a grid of data. A value change in a row item, results in the update of the correct field or property in the model and this in turn raises an event (loosely coupling) to update the values in the following rows. For example, the more people you put in the production line the more work get processed and this in turn affects the output which in turn affect the work carried forward, which affect the work brought forward into the next line etc etc etc... Basically an update results in a cascade of events to calculate the derived values in the model. On a pure Excel ...Show All
