• .NET Development IStream.Read documentation

  The msdn documentation for IStream.Read says the following about the pv parameter: When this method returns, contains the data read from the stream. This parameter is passed uninitialized. What does uninitialized mean here As far as I can tell this method does not work as expected unless pv is a byte array with length equal to the cb argument. If I use the interface from C# it wont even compile if I leave pv uninitialized. Instantiation is slightly different than initialization. You instantiate a variable when you create it using new or by simply using a declaration statement. However the initial v ...Show All

• Windows Forms Terrarium 1.2 : My creatures throw error after deserialization

  My converted Terrarium 1.1 creatures now throw errors after deserialization (i.e. when I reload the Terrarium). Anyone with the same problem  It seems that calling 'CanAttack' just after deserialization causes the problem. Reproducing it is very easy; just make a call to CanAttack somewhere in the LoadEvent or IdleEvent. Introducing animals works fine, but after closing and&nb ...Show All

• .NET Development Signing from a SmartCard

  Hi everybody! I'm trying to create a XMLSigned signature using a key stored in a smartcard. The problem is that there is no way to create a RSACryptoServiceProvider to do that.

• Visual C++ SSE3 Programming question

  I am trying to use the sample code in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 to compile SSE3 math operations, and am having problems. The first issue is that the intrinsic math functions (_mm_addsub_pd for example) are not declared in emmintrin.h. This is the only file that the MSDN help says is needed to include. If the sample code is compiled with this header file, unresolved externals occur. I managed to find pmmintrin.h in the Intel C++ compiler installation which fixed the problem of unresolved externals, and declares the SSE3 functions. The next problem is that the sample code causes an access violation: "Access violation reading location 0xfffffff ...Show All
