• Visual Studio Team System MSDN Subcription

  This is probably not the best place to ask, but I haven't been able to get an answer from the MSDN folks... Any idea if we will be able to transition our existing subscriptions over to VSTS for DP when it is available I currently subscribe to VSTS Dev. Not being an expert on licensing, but the Team System license model is either based on seperate SKU's like Developer, Test or Architect; or you are have a Suite license which includes today Developer, Test and Architect. When VSTE DB will be released this will be the fourth SKU in the Suite. If you can not transfer VSTE Dev in to VSTE Test today, I do ...Show All

• SQL Server Connect to an NS instance on remote server

  I have Sql Server 2005 and Notification Services on one machine and I am developing a web app on another machine that will be front-end to the NS instance. So far all the examples I've seen for connecting to an instance using NS API assume that Sql Server, Notification Services and the development environment are on the same machine. Is it possible to connect to an instance on a remote machine using NS API If so, how can it be done Shyam is right that you need to register the instance. There is also a third option to do the registration: - You can use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Nmo.Instance.RegisterLocal met ...Show All

• .NET Development Why my Existing application is not high resolution aware and why all the examples given are in VC++, what for .Net developers?

  I followed all the steps described, Using Res2exe Put res2exe.exe and hidpi.res in Visual Studio .NET 2003's command line path. These files are installed with the Developer Resources for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition , by default into the directory C:\Program Files\Developer Resources for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition\tools. Compile your application using Visual Studio .NET 2003 From the command line, run res2exe on the output executable using this syntax: res2exe -c -r hidpi.res [EXE file] Note    If you are using signcode to sign your exe file — for example if you are targeting Smartphone 2003 — you need t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Learning C++

  Where would be the best place to learn C++ This question has been asked and answered quite a few times before. I suppose the best place to learn C++ is to enrol on some course that teaches it (many computer science related degrees offer it at least as an option). Failing that, the next best option would be to read a few books on C++ (some great choices have been at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=107484&SiteID=1 , and orcmid has reviewed some of the books himself). Also in that thread I mentioned are links to sites which have quite good free tutorials on C++, for those on a budget. The codezone commun ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Visual C# 2005

  In language Vizual C * 2003 there was a function Commit. Example: device. Ligth (0) .Commit (), In Vizual C * 2005 these functions are absent. What to write instead of this functions Taking a guess at the small bit of code supplied, I would say that you are talking about programming DirectX and using the managed Classes. The commit was removed from the lights system in directX about 3 releases ago, some of the older books still use it ie Tom Millers, Managed directX Kickstart. If you just leave it out and make sure that you have the update call in it will work. Check this post on www.ircomm.net , this post has some examples of the ch ...Show All

• Visual C++ MessageBox memory leak/corruption problem

  I have a main thread that displays a message box using CDialog's MessageBox function. And there's another thread that exits the application. Termination of the MessageBox (without the user pressing "OK") is corrupting memory or causing memory leaks. In debug mode it says "user breakpoint is reached in code .. ". Is there a simple way to close the messagebox before terminating the application so that there won't be memory corruption or memory leaks Things I tried are: * Using pClassPointer->SendMessageToDescendants(WM_CLOSE, 0, 0, TRUE, FALSE); This is not working!
