• Visual C++ Image Color Management in VC++ 8 Platform SDK

  I'm converting a VC++ 6 MFC app to VC++ 8 using Visual Studio 2005 Standard. The existing app uses Image Color Management, so it #include's icm.h. In the VC++ 6 environment, it is included from the Platform SDK [$(ProgramFiles)Microsoft SDK\include] directory. A Visual Studio .Net installation delivers a version of the Platform SDK in a subdirectory of the VC directory [$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK] and this directory is setup to be used for includes upon install. However, icm.h is not included in this version of the Platform SDK delivered with Visual Studio 2005. The file does exist in both VS2002 and VS2003 installations. Was this ommi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connecting to a server

  im using the exportXML command in Microsoft Access 2003 to export a .xml file to my website. I have been experiementing with the exportXML command and have been able to export a table to a folder at my website.

• SQL Server Stupid Replication Q

  Hi, Here's the brief. I have DB_A on Server A, which I'm replicating to Server B. I then want to replicate tables from DB_A on Server B, out to DB_X on Server_B, but when I try and create the publication, the row is locked from selection, as it's obviously locked for replication from Server_A to Server_B. Does anyone know if there is anyway round this I ideally want Transactional Replication as our need is to have an identical copy for other calculations to be done and reporting purposes. (Server_A is on it's last legs, so we have Server_B to do all the calculations and host MSRS) Would we just be better off getting a bigger, more powe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Automation executable consumes 100% CPU

  Hello!!! I have developed and automation executable to druve Excel and I'm poretty happy with it apart from the fact that it consumes 100% of the CPU while it's running - even when the app should really be idling.
