• .NET Development XSD problem on upgrade project to VS2005

  Hi I recently did my first project upgrade from 2003 to 2005.  All went well except for an error with the XSD file i have in there. I can see it in the designer but the code has no code and no dataset.  It wont compile (i cant be specific on the error message as it seems to be a different one each time but at present it says "Custom Tool error: Could not retrieve the current project). Any ideas even be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hierarchy and definition list problems.

  A brief history... Okay, I am completely new to programming. My past attempts with trying to learn C++ from the two huge 3" books that I have was a waste of my time. When I did finally learn how to make something simple, I did not understand how to implement a "user-interface" with the project. But when I came across Visual Basic 2005, it completely opened up the programming basics to me...I am even able to understand more ab ...Show All

• Visual C# static properties & instance property

  Is there a wishlist for future features somewhere I would like to propose this: Currently you cannot have an instance property and a static property with the same name in one class. I think you should be able to do that, because there can be no mistake in accessing the property one way or the other, also you cannot change the modifier for the property when inheriting. So it is always clear which one you want to access. class Test { static ...Show All

• Visual C++ 64 bit applications and typelib files

  Are there any source (.idl file) changes that should be made to create a typelib project targeting the x64 platform It appears to me (so far) that there is no real difference in the type library that is created for the Win32 target and the x64 target. Remember that the idl and COM always used a data marshalling schema that is platform independant. So it was the intent from the start of COM to have a standard di ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to indirectly reference a resource

  This is a shorter question that piggybacks on my earlier post. Char 65 is "A". I have added a resource file named 65.gif through IDE GUI interface, not code. The resource adder named this item '_65'. I am now testing how to use a partial set of these type 'pictures of letters' in a program. I need to use a character code to look up it's associated gif image. To test, I have hard coded '65' as a string, added the underscore pre ...Show All
