• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding a .DEF file to a DLL project

  Hi, I've created a .DLL application project in Visual Studio 2005 Express in C++. I am now trying to add a .DEF file to the project. I presumed I could add such a file much in the same fashion you can add a .CPP file or a .H file to the project. However this does not seem to be the case. Can anyone help with this, I'm still feeling my way around the IDE after migrating from C++ V6. Thanks, Martin, I think the concern is that there appears to be no Add New Item ... that corresponds to a .DEF file or even some sort of miscellaneous file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Re-installing VSTS 180-day trial

  Hi all I've had Visual Studio 2005 Team System 180-day trial installed for a while. After some trouble I had to uninstall everything VS2005-related. Now, when I try to install the trial again, it refuses to install with the message "A trial edition is already installed on this computer. You must uninstall the previous trial before installing another trial edition." . It's not "another trial edition" of course, it's the same one! I'm not trying to circumvent the 180 day limit or anything, I'd just like to go on like before. I have no applicable uninstall entries. msiinv.exe confirms this. There is no way I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugger problem incorrect line shown

  Hi I am converting an old Oracle Pro*C product to use VS2005. The pilot applications have worked successfully however a couple of programes when debugged display the wrong line of code. For example putting a breakpoint on main after the symbols have loaded disables the breakpoint in the source, yet the debugger still breaks but on a structure as opposed to the main function. When looking at the breakpoint in the source I get the information: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Invalid file line : 157847" The code is quite lengthy, around 162k lines in length. I have checked: 1. Program is compiling with debug ...Show All

• Visual Basic Overwriting Data in Text Files

  Hi all, I have an application that writes sets of data to text files when you click the save button. The each set of data has a heading and the data im saving gets placed under this heading. Everytime you click the save button, my code will check through the existing file to see if the current heading exists. If it does it will attempt to overwrite the old data with the newly saved data under that heading. Problem is.. it appends the data to the end of the file instead of overwriting it!. If ive lost you imagine a file with the following data in it. Heading1 A B C Heading2 1 2 3 Now say i want to save s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Modal Web Forms

  Hi, We have modal web forms within our ASP.NET web application and we are not able to record scripts for them (no script is recorded).  Is there a way to make the script recorded work with modal forms Thanks, Jesudhas That's right. window.showModalDialog does not raise the NewWindow/2/3 events.

• Visual C++ Exporting unmanaged class from managed dll

  I have a managed dll in which I have a class whose functions I want to export. In VS2003 I was able to do this by creating a macro which generates __declspec(dllexport) when the managed dll is being built and __declspec(dllimport) when the managed dll is being consumed. This works fine, an import library is created, and other managed dlls which want to access the functional of this class link to the import library and use that functionality. In VS2005 when I attempt to do the same thing, I get a compiler error C3395 telling me that I can not use __declspect(dllexport) on a function with the __clrcall alling convention. Evidently compiling t ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox

  Hi folks, maybe you could help me a little. If I understand right the idea behind Object oriented is that I can use the same object in different forms. I've created and used the ComboBox in one form and now I want to use it in two more. Can I do this How thanks a billion, Chris Hi Randy, I agree, I am not for hard coding - what I provided was a simple example to convey the concept of having a utility method for loading a combo. In fact if the data was available in a Table then it maybe a good idea to bind a Dataset to the combo. Regards, Vikram ...Show All
