• Visual C++ AfxWndProc and compiling a MFC app with MFC 8.0

  Hi all, I'm compiling an existing MFC (VC 6.0) in Visual Studio 2005 and after fixing so many compile and link errors finally I could run the application but I got some asserts in the AfxWndProc method of the wincore.cpp. I found a KB article on a bug in MFC about modal dialogs but didn't know if it is still there in MFC 8.0 I didn't find any other resources about the same problem but I'm getting this assert in opening many of the documents of my MDI application. RESULT CALLBACK AfxWndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { // special message which identifies the window as using AfxWndProc if ( ...Show All

• Visual C++ __invalid_parameter_noinfo is resolved by LIBCMT.LIB but not LIBCMTD.LIB

  Hi I'm having to define _SECURE_SCL=0 when compiling debug builds of my C++ applications which are built using the /MTd switch, otherwise the linker cannot resolve reference __invalid_parameter_noinfo. When the release build is generated using the /MT switch, there are no problems, since this reference is resolved by LIBCMT.LIB. I've used DUMPBIN to try to find __invalid_parameter_noinfo in all the standard installed libraries, but it only seems to be present in LIBCMT.LIB and MSVCRT.LIB. Is LIBCMTD.LIB incomplete or am I doing something wrong Thanks Hi Martin Sorry if I've not been ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I discover the Ms-sql services in local network?

  How can I discover the Ms-sql services in local network Just like the vs.net 2005 data explorer,when I press "refrash", the possible severs will appear in the combobox. any ideas could you tell me Hi, You can use the SqlDataSourceEnumerator.GetDataSources method ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sql.sqldatasourceenumerator.getdatasources.aspx ) to enumerate local SS2K and SS2K5 instances. Please keep in mind that results are not necessarily deterministic due to the nature of the mechanism used for enumeration. Thanks, Il-Sung. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Could I use Visual Studio IDE solely to manage all work items?

  It seems every work item could be export to Excel or Project. Could I just work within the IDE What's the limitation that the IDE-only solution would bring to me Thanks! Thank you Ben and Martin, So it seems the Excel and Project is more useful when a report is to be generated. And they are more suitable for my boss, he doesn't have VS installed. ...Show All

• SQL Server deleting records

  I have a couple SQL tables that have been appended to daily over the last two years. There is now about 50,000,000 records in the table. Does anyone know the fastest way to delete records before a certain date to shorten these tables Delete queries and everything else I've tried is taking way too long. i'm guessing there is no index on the date column - so you are suffering a table scan - you'll just have to suck it up and let the delete take however long it takes. If this will be an ongoing requirement (i.e. purge this table) - why don't you add an index .....gtr ...Show All
