• Visual C++ DLL and LIB problem

  Hi, Please help. I want to create a library of utility functions in Msdev 6.0. But I only get the DLL file as output. I don't get the LIB as output. I do this so as to keep this library with me for future use. I clicked on the Win32 Library option initially when creating this project. I think I am going around this in the wrong way. Please suggest the correct way of doing this. Thanks Nibu thomas Under "Project Settings" on the Link page, there is a checkbox for "Doesn't Produce Lib", so that might be on.   I also think that no lib file will be created if you are not actually exporting any classes or functions. ...Show All

  I'm trying to convert an application from VS2003 to VS2005. My latest problem involves xsd files (dataset specifications). None of my VS2003 xsd files compiles within 2005.

• Windows Forms NullReferenceException in Unknown Module when binding 2 checkboxes.

  Hi, I am getting a nullreferenceexception in Unknown Module, additional information: Object reference not set to a instance of an object when databinding 2 checkboxes in my form. This form is a secondary form called modally from the startup form. When I step through the code slowly, I don't get this error, I also don't get this error when I call show instead of ShowDialog. When I comment out one of the binding statements, I also no longer get this error. What am I missing It seems like there is a validation event occuring somewhere but I can't find the actual code that is running Any help would be appreciated. Kevin ...Show All

  I am trying out the team testing facility in VS 05 against a web service and am not sure what the intended use is, and can't find a good example. I have a webservice with one method which returns a data table, and have used the "Create Unit Test" option to generate a test method which has created the proper web reference in my test project, providing generated class to interact with the service. The response from the web service method is being packaged in what appears to be a generic type for xml responses.

• Visual Basic Connection String in Module

  Hello people, quick question with hopefully a simple answer. Using VB.NET2003, after I associate a particular file type with my application, how do I go about coding my application to load that file upon execution For example, notepad.exe is simply an application, but whenever you double click a .TXT file, notepad loads and automatically loads the .TXT file into it's workspace.
