• Visual Studio Express Editions DLL Development for the Web

  Which version of Visual Studio Express would I need to create DLL's for use in websites   I prefer to develop using a tiered approach, keeping most processing code in DLL's.  It appears the VB2005 version supports this, but I wanted to make sure. Port of Dreams - You are right that Visual Basic Express is the product you will need to use to create stand-alone DLLs, even if these will be used in websites.  If you are doing significant development across the boundary between Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer Express, you will probably want to consider Visual Studio Standard Edition or higher, which make this pr ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Migration from eVC++ to VS2005 wWinMain unresolved

• Visual C++ Policy based implementation and multiple inheritance class size

  While implementing a policy based class, I've noticed a strange behaviour on VC++ 8 concerning the size of a class inheriting from more than one class. Consider the following example where class CSize inherits from 4 empty classes : class A {}; class B {}; class C {}; class D {}; class CSize : public A, public B, public C, class D {}; In this sample, sizeof(CSize ) == 3, while I was expecting 1. As I could not explain it, I've tried the exactly same code on GCC 3.4.4 to see if it was a compiler specific behaviour. GCC gives my expected result with a size of 1. What is the reason for that behaviour which really degrades p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System counter set

  Hello, I added "local" as the "add computer " for count set during the Load test wizard since I am going to watch the result in my local system, and I added a plug in. I got error message "Error occured running test.(Computer 0109) could not run load test 'LoadTest1' on agent '0109':LoadTest abourted by LoadTest Plugin" Could any one pls give some clue how to fix this error The Loadtest1 passed when removing the plugin file. Thanks, Jasmine Did the load test collect counters for the local computer after you removed the plugin   If yes, then the counter collection should be fine. Can you paste the code for the load test plugin ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unlinking the CRT...

  Here's a fun question: how do I get the CRT out of a project, utterly and completely The project in question is a mixed-mode C++ DLL. /NODEFAULTLIB leaves me with dozens of link errors to CRT functions that I'm not calling from my code so I'm assuming the compiler is sneaking stuff in on my behalf (how very kind of it). What functions do I need to implement on my own and how do I do that Some of the more obvious ones like atexit I've already tackled but the DllMain functions responsible for calling constructors and destructors (I'm guessing atexit came from destructors) on global variables are a mystery to me. I've gone hunting through ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Could not connect to application tier.

  I use a Team Foundation Beta 2, when I open the Team Project (from the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2), I've see the following error: "Could not connect to application tier. Please contact the team system administrator(s)." How can I fix this issue Several things to try to help solve the problem. 1.  Close VS and delete your cache at %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Currituck\cache and run "devenv /resetuserdata" 2.  Check the Application event logs on the AT, this might give some indication of what's happening. 3.  Turn on tracing on the AT.     a.  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Ruby Plug-In ?

    Ihave been really impressed with Managed code (C#) and Visual Studio over the last couple of years. But I am now pretty impressed by Ruby (and the RAILS Web fraemwork) Unfortunately the best Editors and few IDEs for Ruby seem to be weak  Java implementations, not a patch on the Visual Studio experience. I know Ruby is a very dynamic language, not so well suited to Visual Studio, but a Ruby Plug-In for Visula Studio, with robust intellisense, auto formatting, and common (RAILS) generator macros would be really great. It would also show that Microsoft is open and prepared to support 'best of breed' third party languages.  ...Show All

• .NET Development Why can't I get to my Windows Form from my remote call? (Or why is .Net Remoting documentation such shite?)

  OK, I'll bite, how in the bloody bowels of Hades do you actually do anything useful with a .Net remote call I'm trying to make a client-server app to access a SQL database from a Windows Form client. I'm thinking this should be fairly straightforward - after all, the Client-Server-SQL setup is probably the most common distributed app out there so there should be some pretty good support for it. After some problems getting Remoting to work, I've gotten some nice little test programs to talk to each other and a client to bounce strings and objects off of a Server back to itself. So far so good, right OK, so I'm ready to actually pas ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomains and delegates: the hidden quirk!

  Hi, So I've partitioned my app into multiple app domains. Everything works fine If I use the objects through interfaces (defined in a shared dll). In other words, an assembly in one domain is not loaded up into the other domain when calling the object. Interfaces provide an extra level of indirection. Using an object directly will cause that assembly to be loaded into the calling domain which defeats the whole purpose of the secondary domain. Now, all was working fine until I decided to use a delegate. I have a key binding system going on, where you can bind a keyboard button to a method (ie. 'W' is Camera::MoveFoward). The problem (I think) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Create Team project without source source control folder

  TFS Beta3 Refresh:   When creating new Team project I chose "Do not create source control folder at this time" on the final step of the wizard but nevertheless source control folder ("$/Project1" in my case) still was created. I was not able to find a way to just remove source control folder without removing team project - tf.exe does not have enough options to do this. On other hand i can't find how to create just source control not linked to Team Project. Thanks The bug that caused the Project Creation Wizard to ignore the " Do not create source control folder at this time " was fixed recently.  ...Show All

I want to trigger an event when said row is clicked. Thanks! ...Show All
