• Visual C++ Compiling libFLAC under VS.NET 2005

  Warning: This is long I'm trying to build libFLAC with Visual Studiio 2005, but can't get more than half of it to compile. I've followed the instructions in the flac documentation word-for-word, but nothing seems to be working. I downloaded/compiled libogg and put it in the proper place, I downloaded nasmw.exe and put it in the project's path (it's in the same dir as cl.exe), and when I go to build, what I get is this: (it's long!) 1>------ Build started: Project: libFLAC_static, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 2>------ Build started: Project: replaygain_analysis_static, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Performing Custom Build ...Show All

• Visual C# Why should we have to declare the delegate in both places

  In delegate I am a newbie. I want's to ask why we have to declare delegate in both places where we are making and where we are calling it e.g in this tutorial http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20040313.asp why i have to declare delegate string NotifyDaddy(DaddysCar car, decimal damageAmount); in both palces No, do not have to declare the delegate in both classes. The declaration in "DaddysCar" is completely useless. #edit, lol I was too late ;) ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to show a filename without showing filepath

• Visual Basic What is the difference between <Me> and <MyBase>?

  I have noticed that the VB .NET compiler/IDE allows both the <Me> and <MyBase> keyword in some situations.  The situation I am talking about here is the following: you have a base class and a class that derives from the base class.  When you are coding in the body of the derived class and you access one of its own members that was actually defined in the base class (an inherited member), you can use both the <Me> and <MyBase> keyword. Is there some subtle difference here   Or maybe it is just a good coding practice to use <MyBase> to have self-documenting code.  You can later on see that t ...Show All

• SQL Server Using SQL results as parameters for Oracle query through SSIS

  Is there a way to use the results of a query as parameters of a WHERE statement in Oracle I have a list in a SQL table that I would like to use as criteria for a query through Oracle Basically I have two data sources; one Oracle and the other SQL, I'm currently querying the SQL one, then using a Merge Join object in SSIS to combine the data. The SQL query has roughly 2000 rows which is fine, however the Oracle one had several million... I've tried to limit the oracle one as much as I can however its still returning far too much data... If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this I'd greatly appreciate it. I've looked into Linked s ...Show All

• Smart Device Development using bit values in VS 2005 database manager

  Hi, Here's my problem : I'm using the server explorer to manage my sdf database, some collumns are in bit format, when I put some data in it (using the manager), I got checkboxes (to put the value to 1 or 0 I figure). But if I don't edit the checkbox (meaning : if i don't put the checkbox to "check" value) the manager let the collumn value do DBNull. I guess I can check then uncheck the cell... but doing so on more than 10 collumns in 5 separate tables with at least 20 rows in each... I think you can figure out how long it takes. Are you planning on updating this part thanks! Seta, I understand what you' ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I activate snaplines programatically?

  I have a multi-part user control that contains a couple of text boxes side-by-side.  It uses a custom designer to allow the individual text boxes to be resized at design time by clicking and dragging the space between them (exactly like a SplitContainer), this is accomplished by overriding the OnMouseDragX methods (Begin|Move|End). I've also overridden the SnapLines property and attached additional snaplines to the child text boxes which successfully appear when I drag the entire control around.  However, I'd like the SnapLines to appear during the custom drag operation described above. Is there a way to programatically activate ...Show All

• Visual Studio Replication of two VSS-Databases by using archiv and restore

  Hello, we use two different VSS-DBs on two computers with virtually the same contents. These computers are only connected to replicate these contents. In meantime changes made to both DBs but not to the same projects in each DB (this is ensured by checkin out each project in one of the DBs).

• Visual Studio expression funtction iif()
