• Visual Studio hotfix for visual studio .net 2003

  Sure.  I just purchased the academic software last week for a night school course.  I installed it without errors.  Problem 1) When I go to the tools > upgrade it cannot find the page of the upgrade. Problem 2) For the library problem.  I decided to have a look around and read the help files.  I had already installed the  mdsn libraries.  However, when I try to start up the help files, it opens what looks like a browser, and then says server not found. It looks like the browser that is inside the tool does not work.  I have attempted to use the same pages on my internet explorer and they work fine. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista New Workflow In VS2005

  Hi, I'm facing very strange behaviour of VS2005 while adding new sequential workflow (with code separation) to the project: I've got 2 new files added: WFlow1.xoml and WFlow1.xoml.cs as it would be, but instead WFlow1.xoml.cs being added under WFlow1.xoml, it appears just like another file in the project, not related to the WFlow1.xoml. Somehow, it depends on whether the project resides on virtual (mapped) drive or not: i'm adding new workflow to the project in the C:\ and it works fine. When I add it to the project that resides in the S:\ (which created with this command - subst S: "C:\......\.....") I've got t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Support for dual core and dual CPU

  When does Microsoft plan to add support for dual core and dual cpu when compiling C++ code I was asking the same question 8 years ao when I got my first dual CPU machine. Did not get any answer.

• Windows Forms How to make a splash page

  How do I enable my application to have its own splash page to stay on the screen for 3 sec. Well, like I said in my post, the code dismisses the splash when the main form is ready for display.  In your situation, you'll probably want to build in a delay:     Public Class ApplicationEntryPoint         Pri ...Show All

• SQL Server Report not reflecting Dataset

  My SSRS 2005 Dataset refreshes fine but my report, even though I refresh isn't really picking it up 100%...it's missing an account but I know that account shows in my dataset in VS. I only am using one filter and that is fine...has no affect. Is there a specific way to refresh my report after my dataset besides the refresh button for the report itself Thanks for the info on the .rdl.data, but I don't have such a file. Two (out of three) datasets (ds) on my report are not refreshing, and if you try to run them, they err. The third dataset works fine. And, another report with 3 other datasets, works fine.

• Visual C++ Memory Leak and New

  I'm a bit confused about the utility of crtdbg.h if I use the new function. If I use malloc I get a nice report saying that line x of file y leaked z amount of memory. Nice. If I use new, I get a pretty useless report that line 691 of crtdbg.h leaked z amount of memory. Well gee, thanks. I KNEW that new is being redirected to that inline function in crtdbg.h, I was kinda hoping maybe you could tell me where I came from, not where I went. Here is the source: #define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC #include <stdlib.h> #include <crtdbg.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { _CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF ); int* lea ...Show All
