  Hi, i'm having a freak problem. When i'm trying to compile the code, Visual says: "error compiling, sub rutine too long. I know it's long, but... Can someone tell me if this is normal How can I compile a large sub rutine Thanks That's interesting, how many lines are in it Your solution is to break it up into managable subroutines: it sounds like a complete nightmare to debug/maintain. As a general rule of thumb, a subroutine/function should be no more than a single viewable page. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why were MFC, ATL and masm not included in VC++ Express?

  First off, while I do have a degree in Geology, my minor in college was Computer Science.   Even though I do not have a job that needs much in then way of computer skills, since college I have been trying to keep up my computer skills.   When I found out that Microsoft was offering VC++ 2005 Express Edition as a free download, I was excited because I thought that I would be able to compile programs that I would find of use to myself.   At any rate, I am a little disappointed with VC++ Express Edition because of its limitations.   My question is what was the reasoning behind not including MFC, ATL and masm in VC++ 2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ghost projects

  2 weeks ago I had some problems creating projects from a remote location. The problem never really got solved but I can live with that for now. The problem is that the few times that I tried creating a project, the process halted with an error saying that it might not have been able to roll back all changes. Now my question is. The projects that I created doens't show up in the Team explorer but Source Control has entries for the projects and I'm not able to remove them. Likewise if I look in security settings new users was created for the projects. As with the Source control project I'm not able to delete them as well. Does anyone hav ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get rid of warning LNK4086?

  Dear developers: We are developing an agent which runs in embeded system. We compile the project in Windows, using MS compiler, then modify the header of generated binaries of Apps and DLLs, to comply with the executable file format spec in our embeded system. The problem is, we use __cdecl for all functions, include exported DLL entries, and there are warning LNK4086 when compiling the project in Windows. The warning itself is proper, and harmless, but hundreds of such warnings may un-visualize other useful warnings. And, some functions have assumption of such calling convention, it is impossible to modify our code the remove these warnings ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control.ControlCollection reordering

  I am building a custom tab control from scratch using vs.net 1.0   Tabs are drawn in the order they appear in the ControlCollection. When a tab is clicked, the tabpage’s visible property is set to true, and the previously selected tabpages visible property is set to false.   Sometimes when I change the visible property, the ControlCollection reorders and the tabpages’ indexes change. Since the tabs are drawn based on the control collection order, this causes them to shuffle. Tabs are then redrawn in a different order...   Is anyone aware of why the ControlCollection would reorder when visible propert ...Show All
