• Visual C++ Automatic closing of command window

  I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to VC++ been trying to pick it up over the past few days through some interesting tutorials. Anyways....my problem should (hopefully) be a very simple one. Im trying out a couple of simple programs of the HelloWorld flavour (you know, the basics) and I'm compiling them through VIsual Studio 2005. The problem is that post compilation the command window just auto closes (thats command as in command.exe or cmd.exe however the program actually being run is the exe for my code, obviously) I was wondering if it was possible to make the window stay open long enough for me to actually read the output with the Press ...Show All

• .NET Development Firefox and Other Browser Support in ASP.Net 2.0

  After working hard on developing a website for my company that was user-friendly, and using numerous ASP.Net 2.0 Controls such as asp:Panel and asp:MultiView I have found a serious problem that is still unresolved since the classic ASP era. asp:Panel controls render horribly in Firefox, Safari, IE Mac and other Non-WinIE browsers. I find this is very disgusting that MS still hasn't corrected this problem even when it was evident in ASP.Net 1.0/1.1! I need to find a solution to have ASP.Net 2.0 Correctly render all panels and similar controls. Does anyone have a solution other than BrowserCaps I tried numerous ways of configuring it, but it s ...Show All

• Visual C# resource problem

  I have added an xml-file (Signals.xml) containting a definition of a dataset to my project in visual studio. I then marked the xml-file as a embedded resource, and everything works fine. I read the xml-file in a class extending DataSet like:  this .ReadXmlSchema("Signals3.xml") and everything works fine. When I later add another resource (for instance a background image), I get the following error message: An exception occured while trying to create an instance of MyNameSpace.MyDataSet. The exception was "Could not find file "C:\Documents and Settings\peter\Desktop\Backgrounds\Signals.xml".". Now it looks like visual studio ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deriving, CodeConditions and HandleExternalEvent Activities.

  Hi all, Thanks to great help previously, I'm up and cooking with my derived StateMachineWorkflow activity. Hence - another problem. In the 'dervivedWF' I want to call a common 'RunCodeCondition' method from a set of IfThenElseBranch/CodeConditions - however, the method does not display in the drop down Funny enough - from a HandleExternalEventActivity, part of the bindings for input parameters..... inData *IS* selectable for a parameter. I wouldnt have thought I'd have to create a dependant property for this (Mind you, it doesnt compile at the moment - non descriptive error - just fail, so it all could be wrong) Anyone done this or sim ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Application.Run vs Form.Show vs Form.ShowDialog

  What does this new addition to the basic C# project do exactly I'm having major problems with my existing code to do with cross-thread operations and also an intermittent bug in the debugger. I can't seem to get any questions answered about either problem. Does this Application.Run statement perform some new fundamental operation I am unaware of To demonstrate the bug, simply create a new WindowsApplication and replace Application.Run(new Form1) with Form1 f = new Form1, Form1.Show(). Instant intermittent crashes. Could someone point me to a demonstration of how to run multiple independent Forms under the new framework maybe Dammit! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Exec task with ContinueOnError=true

  I'm using an MSBuild build script as part of a continuous integration scenario. Part of the script is a target that runs unit tests with NUnit, using a batched item group that specifies test assemblies. The target contains an Exec task that runs the test runner application. Since I want to run all of the tests, even if some of them fail, I specify the ContinueOnError option on the Exec task. The problem is that even though some tests fail, MSBuild sets the DOS errorlevel is set to 0 after the build finishes, which screws up the continuous integration server (it thinks the build succeeded). If I change ContinueOnError to false, then it sets ...Show All
