• Software Development for Windows Vista Register Windows Vista SDK Beta 2 in Visual C# Express

  Hi folks, I recently installed Visual C# Express. No I downloaded and installed the current Vista SDK. How do I register the SDK now with my Visual C# Express, so that I can add references, etc. The corresponding tool for registering the SDK seems to be working only for Visual Studio 2005 or C++. Not the express edition. Can anyone help please Thanks and best regards, Christian. You don't need to do anything to use the SDK with Visual C# Express. The reistration tool provided with the SDK is only used for setting up Visual C++. It simple sets the Header and Lib paths. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How do I know what files are required?

  I have a program that I have been working on for some time, and it is almost finished. The problem is that when I reboot the device (not a pocket PC), the program won't run any longer, and it gives no clues as to the reason. If I deploy through VS.net, it works fine, and continues to work until I do a reboot. I need this device to function by itself. How do I know what files I'm missing if the program doesn't tell me Note you can not deploy 'selected' files of NETCF. That won't work because it’s not enough to just copy files and that would be EULA violation. To preserve CAB file after installation please se ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Integration with MSBuild

  Let me ask the question and then provide some background... How much can we customize an initially VS 2005 generated .csproj msbuild project file without "breaking" the VS 2005 <-> MSBuild integration Background... Forgive me if this this overly general question has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't see anything.  I have just recently begun investigations related to migrating our existing NAnt build scripts to MSBuild for when we move to .NET 2.0.  In our current system, we ask developers to maintain the .csproj files and the nant build files.  However, only the nant build files are really important.  Our bu ...Show All

• Visual C# Fill a shape

  I have a shape like this shape , and I want to fill it with a color, can someone help me Greets, DIII I don't know why the GDI FloodFill function is not offered in GDI+. You could pinvoke it, or ( assuming you're still working on this drawing program ), you could accumulate an array of points as the user draws, and then use the FillPath function ( from memory ), which takes a Path built on those points and will fill it as well as draw it, with the brush of your choice. ...Show All

• .NET Development MODI not working with Windows 2003 Server

  Hi, We are developing an application which uses MODI 11.0 type library, which ships with the MS Office 2003, for OCR functionalities. Everything seems to be working fine with the development machines which are having Windows XP SP2. Now we want to install the application in our server machine which runs Windows 2003 Server OS (with SP1). But the MODI doesnt seem to be working in the server machine. Everytime we try running the OCR on a document, it gives me the following error: "OCR was not successful (no text was found) on one or more pages" . The same error shows up when I try to run the OCR with Microsoft Office Documen ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPS Sample Latitude/Longitude not correct

  I have a Pharos GPS unit with both the Blue Tooth and USB interface. I used hypertermal on a XP machine with the USB interface to record some raw GPS output. Then I used the file redirect to run the GPS WM5.0 Sample code in VS2005 WM5.0 device emulator. It displays the correct information on the screen Lat 42 / lon 83 when reading the raw GPS data file that I created. When I move the program to my WM 5.0 device and connect up to the GPS unit over BT, I get strange readings for the lat/lon. Lat 0d 42' 24.36 Lon 0d 83' 28.65. They look shifted right. What is degrees show up in the minutes. The number of satellites and time are correc ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Access violation errors

  Hi.   I'm trying to make a DirectShow app in C++. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Express, and I don't want to use .NET for various uninteresting reasons. I can get programmes to compile fine, but every time I try to run them it comes up with access violation errors. I feel sure there's something fairly simple and probably fairly obvious I'm doing wrong, but I really don't know where to start figuring out what that thing is. In this example, the violation occurs when I try to call pGrab->SetOneShot( true );. The really strange thing is that calling pGrab->SetOneShot( false ); works perfectly, or appears to (or rather, ...Show All
