• Visual Basic CLR error: 80004005

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Server 2003. All service packs are installed. I first had this problem when trying to distribute an application for testing so I then created a simple application to try and narrow down the problem but to no avail... I create a simple Windows Application that has a single form with a single button on it that, when clicked, shows a messagebox with the words 'Hello World'. I compile it and run it fine but when I install it on another PC I get the following error on startup: CLR error: 80004005. The PC it is compiled on is a Windows Server 2003 with all service packs installed. .NET framework ve ...Show All

I was wondering, if I wanted to put my programs on the internet, is that even possib ...Show All

• Visual C++ access violation when running ported database solution (from VC++6 to VC++8)

  I am maintaining a supply chain database solution & am attempting to port it from VC++6 to VC++8(2005 native -NOT /clr) - the solution is composed of 45 projects (an .exe & 43 dlls & a lib) - it uses COM & ATL. I have managed to compile everything successfully after solving some initial errors caused by greater ISO C++ compliance(I think) of the form: was : m_spDBStock = m_spBLStock; now: m_spDBStock = ( const IDBRecordsetPtr &) m_spBLStock; //where m_DBStock is of type IDBRecordsetPtr,which is derived from ADODB::_RecordsetPtr Now a large part of the solution works fine, but a few method calls result in an ac ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How can Smartphone 2003 native development be done on VS

  I am in a process of developing NATIVE win32 apps for Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003. I have come to realize that to develop native apps for the above platforms, I will have to do it in eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0. After working a little bit on VS2005 for Win Mobile 5.0, I am very much missing the Visual Studio experience, I mean the intellisense. I am having to do it because i want to target a device that is based on Win Mobile Smartphone 2003. Is there any way that I can continue to use VS 2003 or 2005 while being able to target the above device at the same time. All sorts of comments are welcome.

• Visual C# SoundPlayer won't play whole .wav file

  I am trying to play wav files sequentially using SoundPlayer. I am using the PlaySync method. According to the documentation, program execution should not continue until the wav has finished. I have a test case with a messageBox call after PlaySync. The wav only plays for half a minute to a minute of any song before it stops and shows the MessageBox. I would like to avoid using WMP; I want to keep resources to a minimum. I appreciate any help. An event that would let me know that the wav is done playing would be fine, too. Here is my test case: SoundPlayer SP; private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { SP = new So ...Show All
