• Visual C++ Exception handling in MFC applications

  Every so often, our application (built with VC++ 2003) throws a C++ exception, usually derived from std::exception, not CException, that is not handled. This as expected calls abort(). The first question is why that generates no dump file, in either release or debug builds - the docs for _set_abort_behavior state that the default is to produce a Dr. Watson dump. I tried to get around this by calling std::set_terminate, pointing it to this f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Combo Box Help (beginner)

  I added Items to the combo box. How do I define these items Combo Box has a value of 1' = 100' (This is what you see in the drop down list), but I would like to convert this to 1/1200.

• .NET Development Application doesn't exit

I tried to get arount that by using this code: private void MyForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e) { Application.Exit(); Thread.CurrentThread.Abort(); } The Assembly mentioned above works asynchronously and has some events, whi ...Show All

• SQL Server Label Reports

  Are there any facilities in reporting services (2005 or 2000) for doing mailing label reports. We used to use these a lot in MS Access but now we are using Reporting Services for reports and it doesn't seem like there are facilities for labels. I am guessing it could be arranged with some clever lists or tables but not so nice as just picking the type of labels and it does all the formatting for you. Any info would be much appreciated.

• Visual C++ That "File XXX not found in current source file's directory or in build system paths"

  I am so sick and tired of this bug.

Was this ever fixed in 2005 I have been (im)patiently waiting and waiting for a new service pack to address some of the major flaws in VS.NET 2003.

• Visual FoxPro [URGENT] help extracting FoxPro DBF Encrypted fields

  Hi everyone. I'm working with a Foxpro DBF database, but I'm not using Visual Foxpro to read the data. I'm doing this from C#.Net. In fact .. I've never really used Foxpro before. My problem is as follows: In C# and Crystal Reports .. a lot of the string fields simply return blank strings (i.e. "") When I view the table in FoxPro, they are fixed-width character fields, and browsing the table shows that they contain a bunch of special A ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro combobox problem

  I would like my combobox to look like the combobox of ACCESS where I could reduce the size of the first column to 0 so it will only show the second column. Like the zipcode(the 1st column) and the description or place (the 2nd column). I would show the description but internally I am storing only the zipcode but as a user one would only see the description. Hope you could help me again, thanks.

• Windows Forms Printing a Form.

  Hi, I have an application that displays a list of data. A user can select an item from the list to open a form to display the details of the item. I want to provide a Print option so that they can get a hard copy of the data. I was thinking of doing this via a Crystal Report or a new Windows Forms Report, rather that using the PrintDocument classes in the framework. The reason being that it seems a lot easier to be able to design what the print ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Start selected test project without debugger" problem

  Hi, I have a unit test that fails when I click "Start selected test project without debugger". If I run the same tests with "Test manager" or "Start selected test project with debugger" they pass. I've worked out that it is because VS copies different assemblies to the out directory of the test. When it fails it copies my "orders" assembly for some reason, even though it isn't referenced or needed by any of the unit test code when it runs. (T ...Show All
