• Visual C++ general question regarding arrays and functions

  Writing another program for school and I've got something seriously screwed with this one. I may have to post code for this, but I have my main function that calls another function(switcher), I'm trying to pass two arrays to this function and have that function switch the lowest value in one array replace it with the lowest value in the second array and vice versa. The problem is when I compile the program, it builds with no errors or warnings, runs up to the point where I call the function(switcher) then has some type of serious error at runtime and closes that window, and allows me to send an error report to microsoft. Any ideas what I'm d ...Show All

• SQL Server RS2005 breaks my build: Version 2.0 is not a compatible version

  Hi, We've developed a RS DataExtension on RS2000, including a reference to Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces.dll. Since I have installed RS 2005 on my machine, (we actually saw this issue first on our build server) the project no longer compiles.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C# Keeps asking for Registration

  As of this moment I already have 2 "Thank you for registering Visual C# 2005 Express Edition!" e-mails in my inbox and just now, Visual C# asks again to register I'm OK with registering, but not if it keeps asking for it every day or two. What could be the problem Eric Eric - did you copy and paste the registration key into the registration dialog box Visual C# Express doesn't know that you have registered until you give it the registration key. You should find your registration key in your registration email. Once you have that, click Help > Register Product... and the registration dialog will come up. ...Show All

• .NET Development Bug? GetObjectData called multiple times for single reference

  The following code demonstrates that the BinaryFormatter will call GetObjectData on an reference to an object that has already been serialized. This would appear to be a bug. If the serializer keeps track of circular references and only writes the data out one time for each object, then this call is unncessary and potentially a huge performance hit. If circular references are to be handled correctly, then the serialization process must not change the object during serialization and therefore GetObjectData should only be called once for each reference. If serialization could change the serialized data with each call, circular references coul ...Show All

• SQL Server Log Shipping - Backup not occuring

  Hi, I've been battling with log shipping for a while now and it is driving me crazy!!! I set it up according to this ( Log Shipping in SQL Server 2000 - Part 1 ) article on MSDN. The backup of the transaction log files on the primary server is doing its job - my shared folder has all of them in. The problem comes in with the copy from the primary to the secondary server. It does not happen. Then I came across this article ( Frequently asked questions - SQL Server 2000 - Log shipping ) and rechecked everything I did. The 2 servers are on the same premises, same IP range, but not on a domain. To me it looks like this can be th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Multiple forms and multiple instances in task manager

  I have an application for smartphones that opens multiple forms. The smartphone task manager displays each of these forms when opened. I always had the impression that the task manager was supposed to display 1 instance of your application. Can someone clarify what's going on here and if I'm doing anything wrong Thank you. NP. The default settings for a new form in visual studio are pathetic, I don't recall ever creating a form and wanting it to use the default behaviour. ...Show All
