• Visual C++ On adjacent ">"s in a parameterized declaration

  Hello, There is a syntax erron in the following code -- adjacent ">"s need a delimiter (it is marked AAAA) template <class T> class A {}; template <class T> class B {}; int main() { A<B<int>>(); // AAAA } But VC8 can compile it. It seems to be a error but on the other hand Mr. Stroustrup have being dreaming on such a syntax for ages and he promotes it pretty vigorously now, as far as know. So, I a ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing shared app.config

  I would like to share one app.config file between several applications. Only one of those applications needs to be able to update the app.config file.

• Visual C++ VCMAME: compiles with VC2003, fails with VC2005

  I'm trying to build the MAME source using Visual C++ 2005. I'm using the VCMAME project files from http://www.vcmame.net/ . I first built the project in Visual Studio 2003, then opened the project in VC++ 2005 and rebuilt. I only had to make a few modifications to the project, like adding _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to silence a bunch of warnings. However, one of the source files (winalloc.c) implements their own memory handling functions so ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.NET: How to make MDI act like SDI

  I just wonder, How to make an application MDI act like SDI application just like Microsoft Word. Anyone know Don't make it MDI in the first place.  Microsoft Word is not a .NET app, but to give the user the choice then you have to code both sets of functionality into your app.  If the user selects MDI then you set your main form's IsMdiContainer property to True and you create child windows.  If the user selects SDI then you ...Show All

  I'm developing an application which displays 4 (or even more, if possible) video streams simultaneously in real-time (30 fps per stream). I need a renderer that will take the raw YUV frames and display them to a Win32 window, scaling as required. Each stream is independent of the others, including running in separate threads. Currently, my app has an independent DirectDraw-based renderer for each stream (written by someone else), but performance ...Show All
