• Visual C++ Error missing runtime function in MSVCR80D.dll

  Just installed VS 2005 Pro.  Rebuilt a project that had been working with the beta and I'm getting a runtime error when trying to run an executable.  It says: The procedure entry point _encode_pointer could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80D.dll. I searched the forums and didn't find anything about this problem.  Hard to believe I'm the first to encounter it though.  Anyone else have this problem   Anyone know if this is going to be fixed in the service pack that's already promised I had Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2005 both loaded and things worked fine. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Controlling settings for all the vc8 projects from a common place.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Pixel width "Thickness" for shapes

  Is it possible to draw shapes with a single pixel width I am working on an engineering program in WPF and need to scale drawings. The current thickness of 1 is more than one pixel (presumably anti-aliased) and is very "fuzzy" - that's an engineering term! The same drawing drawn with GDI looks much crisper - another engineering term. Ideally there would be a special thickness, say 0, which would always draw at one pixel width no matter what scale transform was applied. excerpt: As I was saying earlier, to accommodate the high-resolution displays, we need to get developers to stop specifyin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Calling a sub while reading an array?

  I'm not the most sophisticated programmer, so you'll have to forgive me as I may be approaching this totally incorrectly. One of the programs I'm working on now deals with Morse Code and different methods to output data to the user in Morse Code...example, PC beeps or with wav files. The concept is this: User selects output method, user selects demonstration and clicks play. The demonstration directly corresponds to a specific file. Read in the file when the user clicks play and then sound the file one character at a time (including spaces) via the output method chosen by the user. I've got almost everything working but I'm ha ...Show All
