• .NET Development Unmanaged code

  Hello, If I'm posting to the wrong forum please advise. Thanks. I have just started using visual studio .net 2003 (C++) and have created a windows form .net  application which I have put quite a bit of time into, but now have found that I am not able to include wininet.h without getting a bunch of compiler errors. Could someone give me a sample of a way around this problem by using dllimport, pinvoke or reflection, I have run across all of these methods through out my web searches but they were usually written in some other language other than c++. If you can give me general way to make wininet "InternetDial" to compile I wou ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX vs. WPF

  A friend of mine said that Avalon was dropped off and renamed to DirectX 10. Based on the theZBuffer.com, there is no DX10, and from what I know, Avalon has been renamed to WPF. So what's the connection between Avalon, WPF, and DirectX (10 ) Are they sharing the same code, or one's just using another's API Thanks! You are right that Avalon was the codename for WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). WPF use Direct3D 9 to render a vector based UI. WPF is not dropped as it is one of the three main parts of WinFX. As WPF supports 3D effects you can build 3D games with it but it supports only a limited subset of the functions th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Implicit IEnumerable<T> via casting?

  So an idea I might test later tonight:  can an object define implicit casts to IEnumerable<specific type> such that the following is resolvable: datastore = Some Datastore with Customers, Orders, Products, etc foreach (Customer c in datastore) { .. } foreach (Order o in datastore) { .. } foreach (Product p  in datastore) { .. }   or must it be explicit Of course, in the above example, each source within the data store must have a unique data type. I see some interesting uses.  Aside from the above, which represents implicitly selecting one enumerable from many contained within a single object, conside ...Show All

• Visual C++ Another wrinkle....

  I'm trying to recompile some old code that was formerly working under vs6,  and I'm not having any luck in vs2003.  Specifically, #include <strstrea.h> #include <fstream.h> However, the error I get is "Cannot open include file: 'strstrea.h': No such file or directory".  I have other C library includes that work okay (e.g. <stdio.h>)  so I'm not sure what else to try. Any Thoughts   And, yes,  it's been quite a few years since I've looked at a line of c or c++ code. I hope this helps Definitely!  I'll check it out and see how it goes,  but at ...Show All

• .NET Development Code when called from procedures but not when called from button events!

  I have what I consider a weird problem.   I have two procedures, <scrsave> and <scrcopy>.   They run perfectly when I call then from button events as I did during debugging.   Now when I try the same procedures by calling them from code rather than button events they seem to not work.   The first saves a screen shot to a picture box while the second copies a portion of the screen shot to another picture box.   I can call the first from the form load event but that is the only code call I can make to either procedure.   The second picture box is visible on my form and when I run the code I can ...Show All
