• Visual C++ using interface with windows.h

  in my vs 2003 I could use the interface keyword when I included the windows.h file. but when Im using it with the 2005 version its not recognised.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't remove .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 1

  I'm attempting to install the VC# Express Edition 2005 Beta 2 package and have run into a snag. I previously had some of the Express Edition Beta 1 packages installed (VB, VC#, VC++), but removed them in order to install Beta 2. I also have the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 1 package installed, which refuses to uninstall. First, I tried removing it via Add/Remove Programs. The uninstaller complained that 'netfx.msi' could not be found, and quit. The ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Working Folder

  With VFP 3.0 I always checked whether the EXE folder sys(16,0) existed in the same folder as the current working folder set("default") + curdir() . If they did not match then I knew that CONFIG.FPW would not be read. So I would exit and display a message telling the user to modify their shortcut. Is there any way in VFP 6.0 and newer to make sure CONFIG.FPW is read regardless of the current folder or method used to start the program ======= ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Run settings of a load test

  I have recorded a web test. For that web test I have set the property of Number of run iterations as "one run per data source row" through the Edit Run configurations window. Later, I have created a load test for this web test. In the load test I specified the Run duration within the run settings. I gave 10 minutes as the run duration for the load test. My question is which of the above two will take precedence or will be impleme ...Show All

• 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.Ite ...Show All

• .NET Development Inherit a class by a class that should be marchal be reference

  Hi! I think this is a simple question for those that have been working with remoting for some time. And somehow, I believe the answer will be simply 'NO' . Is it possible to have a class that is marshal by reference and also inherits another class, other than MarshalByRefObject I guess that if that other class inherits MarshalByRefObject, this would do the job. But what if that other class is not mine, let's say... a system ...Show All
