• Visual C++ How do I distribute Visual Studio 2005 apps?

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional to create a C++/MFC application. I just recently made the switch to VS2005 (from version 6.0!) so there's probably a lot of stuff I have yet to learn... Anyway, I recently tried to give a user a work-in-progress version of the executable for testing, and the user reported that the program failed with the following message: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." The application is a straight-up native C++ program linking to MFC in a shared DLL. The only other dependency of the project is GDI+ (gdiplus.lib). I did a bit of lo ...Show All

• SQL Server Watermark Generation is Invalid Error

  We are currently doing a proof of concept using SQL 2005 merge replication.  However we are currently encountering the following errors: "The common generation watermark is invalid at this replica since it does not exist or metadata for changes not yet propagated may have been cleaned up." " The merge process failed because it detected a mismatch between the replication metadata of the two replicas, such that some changes could be lost leading to non-convergence. This could be due to the subscriber not having synchronized within the retention period, or because of one of the replicas being restored to a backup older than retention ...Show All

• Visual C++ Event Handling with OpenMP

  Hi everyone! I was recently developing an application that did some pretty extensive calculations, so to guarantee that the calculation would not interfere with the event-handling of my application, i parallelized the main-loop of the application with OpenMP: while(!done) //done can be set by the message-handler {     volatile bool fin = false;     //Input and calculation in parallel:     #pragma omp parallel sections num_threads(2)     {         #pragma omp section //Input and Event-Handling         {  &n ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption By Passphrase

  I am investigating methods of encrypting data in a large number of databases. It seems to me that encrypting by passphrase would be optimum because it would prevent me from having to create all those database and symmetric keys on the various databases (there wil lbe dozens of them). Can anyone give me any advice as whether or not using encryption by passphrase is a good secure method of encrypting sensitive data in a large-scale production environment I would most likely create a unique passphrase for each database and pass it to a stored procedure as an imput parameter. Thanks, Al Thanks fo ...Show All

• Visual C++ YA DllImport question...

  Hi -   Here's another dllimport question. I'm attempting to access native code from managed code. In this case, I'm using the open source tinyXml - a C++ library and wrapping it with a C++/CLI class. I'm able to compile the source code into a win32 dll. I'm exposing a class - TiXmlDocument using __declspec(dllexport). I also expose the base classes. No problem.   On the C++/CLI side (VS2005), I can create an object pointer, i.e. TiXmlDocument *t ; Here's the header info:   __declspec(dllimport) class TiXmlDocument { public:   TiXmlDocument(const char *); }   You may see where the trouble is be brewing.

• Visual C# C# Compiler heap error - help!

  For the last week I have been having a bizarre problem in VS. If I double-click on a windows forms control it does not take me to the event code, but if I double-click a 2nd time it does. From then on, whenever I copy-and-paste, random text is deleted and the cursor is moved to just before the end of the "#endregion Windows Form Designer generated code". All intellisense stops working and ctrl+arrow moves to arbitrary places in words. After a few minues I get a c# compiler error mentioning a heap corruption. Has anyone ever seent his before I've been experiencing the exact "Unknown undo error" prob ...Show All

• Visual C# Integration of MSDN Library 2005 beta in Visual Studio 2005 beta

  Hi there! I'm using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 (mainly C#). With the most recent MSDN subscribtion update the disks containing the MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition) were delivered. Now I though by me happily "Great! So you finally can install the MSDN local!" Because the usage of the online version of MSDN may be a quite good solution, but I miss some thing there (like the index or simple navigation). So I installed the library. But: Something seems to be wrong - the help browser of Visual Studio does neither contain the index of the new installed library nor does it find any keyword on using search (worse: the& ...Show All
