• Windows Forms Problem deploying MSDOS executable

  Hi, Here's an odd one ! My app. uses a legacy MSDOS com executable which I deploy along with other support files.   My app works fine after deployment, however when I try to access the com executable -either from the app. or directly -  I get a Win32 exception  "The parameter is incorrect". If I copy the com executable to another folder it works fine. It looks very much as if it's an access rights problem but I can access other files (eg text files) in the deployment folder directly without problem. Thanks for any help Jon Whilst waiting for a reply I came across this in an MSDN art ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System stsadm.exe

  Hello,    We are trying to create a virtual directory on the server where TFS has been installed. Once this is done right now, we need to manually execute the stsadm.exe on the server and exclude the created virtual directory from the Windows Sharepoint services management. Only when excluded we are able to browse through the contents of the virtual directory created.    Question is: Is there a way to programatically do the same what stsadm.exe is doing for the exclusion. Is there any API exposed as part of Windows Sharepoint services management which allows us to do this Thanks in advance, Guru Sharepoint Object Mo ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro report temp file not found

  I need to create a simple report, nothing fancy. Just to preview some memo fields. This is the code I use. lcFile = "C:\VFP_Projects\Reports\MyReport.FRX" SET DIRECTORY TO "C:\VFP_Projects\TEMPORARYFILES\" CREATE REPORT (lcFile) FROM (ALIAS()) FIELDS memo1 The second line (set directory to) should be explained. I get an error that a temp file c:\\VFP_Projects\Data\...\000035e10062.tmp no found. Options are "Locate," "Ignore," "Cancel," etc. Naturally the file name changes every time I try to create a report. Thus the name above does not mean anything.

• .NET Development confused by generic methods

  Hi, in the code sample that follows how do i get from the MethodInfo object given the variable name 'method' in main (this method takes a string as its parameter) to the MethodInfo object that took the generic parameter in the class MyGeneric (i.e. the MethodINfo that originally described the method) I would guess by using MethodInfo.GetGenericMethodDefintion() but is says this isn't allowed due top the state of the object. I think i would be nearer to understanding my problem if i knew why IsGenericMethod is returning false below when i think it should be true... (IsGenericMethodDefiniton is also false). thanks in advance, c ...Show All

• Visual C# Figuring out parameter information

  I've spent  a good amount of time (5 or 6 hours) trying to write a geneic error handler for a application. I would like to have a generic error handler that would be able to figure out what parameters and their respective values so they are logged in a exception database. My company does a lot of batch processes and I believe it would be a lot easier to write a generic version as opposed to log every parameter by hand in my methods. Something along this lines: try { Job1.Execute(param1, param2); } catch (Exception exc) { Logger.Log(exc); // this would actually investigate what parameters were passed to the met ...Show All

• Visual C++ CArray and typedef

  Hi, I would like to be able to store two elements, at a time into a CArray is this possible.  What i mean by that is i would like to put an ID, in the form of an int in, and a point object.  I tried creating a typedef, like so: typedef CArray <int,CPoint> FIXED_POINTS_ARRAY; but when it comes to "Add" something in, i am unsure as to how to add these two things in, to say slot 3! could some one point me in the right direction, thanks.  Also why is it so hard to declare vectors in the C++, i used to program in java and it was infinetely better.  What is the difference between a CArray and a Vector Thanks Will ...Show All
