• Visual Studio VisualStudio .NET 2003 - Setup - Won't Install Prerequesites

• Visual C++ Link Errors After Upgrading from 2003

  I'm currently tasked with evaluating VS2005 for my company's tools team. The team has been focusing on .NET applications in VS7.1 for the past six months, and we've been doing great. Unfortunately, when I converted one of our 7.1 projects over to 8.0 (2005), I encountered several linking errors I could not clear. The /clr is set to "oldSyntax," because this project is far too large to convert over to the new /clr syntax. We are linking to native (unmanaged) libraries. Here are some of the errors I receive (Note, I actually have 60 of these, but I'm not going to paste them all): 1>LIBCMT.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: _exit alr ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Need some advice from the Pros

  Hi, I need some advice developing a DSP app on PocketPC (specifically iPaq 2215 , which is PPC2003 I think).  I have been developing Windows apps for a long time using VS with C++ as well as C#.  So I am quite familiar with Win32 and the .Net framework on Windows but when it comes to developing for the PPC I am a complete newbie. I have the following requirements for my PPC app: 1) Must be able to record and play back audio at the same time (full duplex). A typical example might be a spectrum analyzer that also needs to send out a test tone at the same time. 2) Need as small as possible latency from recording a buffer of aud ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlConnection.Close(), why can't it be called from a Finalizer?

  I've just written a class to handle connections to a SQL database. I'm suprised to discover that I can't close the connection from within the Finalizer of the class (I get an InvalidOperation exception). Why is this Is it just because the SqlConnection object handles the closing of the connection from within its Finalizer or something like that The finalizer is generally going to have multi-threading implications -- GC may run the finalizer while other threads are still executing code within the targetted instance. Since connection objects are not thread-safe, you could corrupt their state, and, more i ...Show All

• SQL Server Scheduled Jobs & emails ( Sql 2k)

  Hi All, The name of the Server was changed which in turn gave me the following error when I tried to delete the jobs Error 14274: Cannot add, update, or delete a job (or its steps or schedules) that originated from an MSX server. The job was not saved. Knowing that it has to do with the Originator server in the sysjobs table; I hacked the table ( now I think not a good idea ) and deleted all the jobs that I wanted to delete and performed the same task on sysjobservers. Now although I have accomplished the deletion of the jobs. But I still get emails ( job failure notifications) for the deleted jobs exactly at the time th ...Show All
