• Visual C# Defining a DLL entry point in C#? (DLLEXPORT not DLLIMPORT)

  I want to call a DLL class library written in C# from unmanaged C++. I saw this example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2x8kf7zx.aspx . It works so I tried to transfer it to my files. I got a System.EntryPointNotFoundException. The problem is: How do you define an entry point in a C# DLL The C++ seems to work so the error must be in the C# DLL. hi there, The error that you are getting means that either the function name is in-correct or the parameters that are provided by you are not proper. Please check the name of the function and its parameters as well its datatypes. Secondly initially ...Show All

• Windows Forms .Net 2 Progressbar not working in Win2000?

  Hi all, Hope you can help me. I've ported a Windows Forms app to .Net2 and VS2005. In one form, I am using the progressbar control in Marquee style with animation speed set to 200. In this form, I'm running a backgroundworker. As soon as the backgroundworker completes, the form closes itself. Everything works just fine on Windows XP. On Windows 2000, the actual processing does work, but the progressbar is not animating! It's just empty. I don't think that Microsoft offers support for windows 2000 using the new frame work... but maybe you can create your own progress-bar (a lot of on-line examples for that) ...Show All

• Visual C++ doubt regarding the linking in the compilation process

  Dear all, I would like to know about some concepts of linking process. I have three files, lets say a.c , b.c and c.c in a project a.c : ------ int aFunc() { return 5 + 6; } b.c ----- void bFunc() { aFunc(); } c.c ---- main() { bFunc(); //Code for some other things also. } now, the code for aFunc(), bFunc() will be included only if I call bFunc() from c.c, or they are included by default I mean to ask size of c.exe is always same as sizeof a.obj + sozeof b.obj or it depends on weather I'm calling bFunc Actually why am I asking this question is I'm facing a severe problem in my project which I could not solve.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Setting ComboBox.Items from app.settings

  I want to store my Combobox.Items string collection outside of my application (i.e. not hard-coded) as they are values that would be useful to change without recompiling the code. I thought, at first, to store these values in the application settings as a StringCollection and would have assigned this to Combobox.Items at form load. This would have been straightforward as they are both type StringCollection, however, disappointingly Combobox.Items property is read-only (I do not know why as it seems quite logical and useful to want to set this in code). Anyway, given this fact, can anyone suggest the best way of enabling Combobox.Items to be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is this possible with VSTO 2005?

  I am doing some research into what approach to take on our next project. Basically we need a way to generate a booklet with some 80 or so reports pooled from our DW. There has to be some standard wording (state required) and some fields that are dynamic (like Name or Organization, Year etc.). User should be able to add additional sections in table of content and to add custom footnotes to the reports. Some sections might have to protected so no change can be made. I just started looking into VSTO and I am wondering if Word would be good front end for this. Reports could be either in Excell or Crystal or even just Datagrids. So basically, ...Show All

• SQL Server Do we still need a common share mount point in SQL2K5

  Replication in SQL2K required a common file share between publisher and subsriber. Our security policy will not allow our DB servers to communicate via net bios across the firewall. Can SQL2K5 perform replication using the normal database communication ports (1433 or 2433) As for common file share you mention, I am not sure if you mention snapshot files shared between publication and subscriptions. If it is, yes, snapshot are usually saved in UNC folder between distributor and subscriber. But snapshot files can also be transfered through FTP, and you can configure port number. Please refer to BOL for more detailed information. ...Show All

• Windows Forms jagged arrays don't serialise correctly as properties in the visual studio designer

  Hi! I have a problem when using jagged arrays as properties. I'm using c# visual studio 2005 .NET 2.0. When I declare a propety as a jagged array, visual studio's designer seems to obmit a pair of square brackets when saving the property in the xxx.designer.cs file.   Example:     //my declaration     public int [][] MyProperty2;       //my initialisation     MyProperty2 = new int [] [] { new int [] { 25 } };       //the designers serialisation     MyProperty2 = new ...Show All
