• SQL Server dblib support in SQL 2005?

  Hi there, We have a server application that's built on DBLIB. From what I can tell, it runs on SQL2005, but I'm looking for official confirmation that it's supported. I recall seeing a document recently that said it was supported, but that there would be no documentation released for the API set any longer. Anyone have any links to official information Thanks. The following is copied from an internal email. It should answer your question. I have no official link for this except http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dblibc/dbc_pdc00b_589v.asp ---------------- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Limit scope of GET?

  I trying to convert a very large project to Team Foundation build. I am wondering if there is some way to limit the scope of the GET that is done to get the source. Right now it is starting at the top of our tree and I believe eventually timing out on getting the source and then failing the build. Can I somehow point it at the Sources node within the tree instead of the root Here is a blog that describes how to limit scope of get - http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/21/483590.aspx ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Robot Invaders: terrible SDKs, please allow others/self-written ?

  I think it's a great idea to have a contest about creating bots. Bots are growing very popular, and a contest like this is a great way to show off what messenger can do. The criteria are very acceptable too, especially integrating activities would be a lot of fun. I had some great bot ideas, and I was very very eager to work them out, but there was one major thing that spoilt it all: You are forced to use one of the three SDKs on the site to be eligible for the prizes. This might not appear to be a very controversial rule, after all it's Microsoft's contest, so microsoft makes up the rule. However, I am quite certain that anyone that actuall ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem seeing my code

  I installed Visual C++ .net 2003 on my computer. Took forever to do and when I finally try to open my code to look at it and make changes, it shows my code as nothing but 0000000's. What is causing this Any ideas I say that I need to install Microsoft Internet Information Services on my computer. How would I know if I have this or not I met all the other minimum requirements. You don't need IIS just to be able to see your code. You only need IIS if you are developing ASP/Web applications. Can you open the same file using another application (like notepad.exe) if so what does it show What happens if you jus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Center Form Procedure

  Hello All, I have strayed across something very odd here and cannot seem to put my finger on why Express is doing what it is doing to me. I wrote a very simple function to center a child form inside it's parent form, since the startup position property does not appear to work. The procedure is as follows: frmChild.Left = CInt (frmParent.Left + ((frmParent.Width - frmChild.Width) / 2)) frmChild.Top = CInt (frmParent.Top + ((frmParent.Height - frmChild.Height) / 2)) Express forced the CInt conversion stating that doubles could not implicitly be converted to integers. This seems a bit odd to me since all the property values in que ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Changed data saved, however old data retrieved.

  If I open SQL Express (in Server Explorer) I can see the value "Foo" in the database table exactly where it should be. I can run my program and retrieve the value "Foo" from the local SQL Express database and display it in the form. I can change the value from "Foo" to "Bleh" on the form and push a button that saves it to the database. While the program is still running I can open the SQL Express database in Server Explorer and see that the new value "Bleh" is stored in the database. However, if the program immediately accesses the database again it will retrieve "Foo" ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem exporting a class that contains __clrcall methods.

    I'm getting compiler error C3395: 'identifier': __declspec(dllexport) cannot be applied to a function with the __clrcall calling convention)   What I have is an non-managed class (I'm porting a library from another compiler/tool/environment), which is in a CLR-enabled (native) DLL and needs to be exported.  I can export the class without an issue if I don't include 2 methods.  If I have those methods declared I get the above compiler error every time the header is included somewhere in the DLL. Roughly speaking it looks like this #ifdef _USRDLL #define DLL_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport) #endif class DLL_EXPORT MyClass { / ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Resource IDs in Express Edition

  A quick background: Having very limited programming experience, I've decided to take advantage of Microsoft's free VS Express and hopefully expand my ability. After a couple days of messing around and researching, I came to the decision that it would be beneficial to first teach myself some native C++ programming conventions in the Windows environment (win32 api) before learning the ways of the much easier-to-use .NET programming environment. I recommend this to other people starting out as well. Anyways, I'm currently learning about assigning a unique resource ID to a particular window, say a button type. I am being taught to pass the ID i ...Show All
