• Visual Studio Team System Identify that an old library is used.

  Hi I am new to creating FxCop rules, however I have got to the point where I have written rules for our corporate naming guidelines which test for any violations. My question is as follows. I want to add a rule which checks whether a class is "using" a library and advise to use the new recommendation. Has anyone done this one before and can provide me with some pointers to get started Thanks for any help Brendan The jmp and calli instructions are other ways (although not verifiable) of calling (jmp actually transfers execution to) methods, although I don't believe C# and Visual Basic use them (C++/CLI may) other l ...Show All

• Visual C# Must declare the scalar variable '@FirstName'

  Hi, I guess the issue here is that the code is having an "Must declare the scalar variable '@FirstName' " exception... I'm not a master on web development but have you added it in the parameters array or something coz that kind of error appears in windows apps if you haven't declared it in the parameters collection of the command object... cheers, Paul June A.

  My questions: 1) My book ("Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus ed1" ) teaches DirectX 8.1 SDK. Is it fine to have that SDK on for ease-of-understanding w/ the book, or use the updated DirectX 9.0c SDK 2) Relating to DirectX 8.1 SDK, the book says I need the following library files: ddraw.lib dsound.lib dinput.lib dsetup.lib dplayx.lib Now, the next three are nowhere to be found in the library folder: d3dim.lib   d3drm.lib dsound3d.lib Where are these libraries Did MS do their yearly remove & replace somewhere How is this going to effect my code Thanks, Phil Still waiting...

• .NET Development Is there anyone skilled in windows services?

  Hi everybody, I've a big problem with a Windows Service I've created using C#. It's a very simple service: it just starts a TcpListener listening for incoming connections on a certain ports. First I compiled it on FW2.0, and run the service without any problem. Some days ago I had to performe a sort of "backporting" to FW1.1, I compiled the source code, installed the service but as I try to start it I get a timeout and a system error. I know that if the "OnStart()" method doesn't retunr in 30 seconds the OS generates an exception but there's something I'm still missing: 1 - why the _same_code_ works if compiled on F ...Show All
