• Visual C++ why does modifying a dll requires to rebuild the client application

  suppose anybody links a DLL to its client application, and then builds the client application. then he modifies the dll source code a little bit. Then if he tries to run the client exe again, he gets a linker error..why is it so the dll is explicitly linked. This is not accurate at all! This only occurs if you are exporting virtual or pure classes from within a DLL and you change the signature of those classes (the vtbl layout), if you are just exporting functions, you can change the body of those exported functions freely and have no problems making calls because the ordinal values for those don't change.

• SQL Server Dynamically using different schema names in Oracle

  I want to access some Views in Oracle on machine <M01> with a user <user01>. The views belong to different schemas e.g. user01.view01 and user02.view02. When I transport my package to another machine <M02> I am facing a different situation: The viewnames remain the same but the schemas have changed, e.g. user05.view01 and user06.view02. I have tried to parametrize my Source SQL query but it is restricted to use parameters in the WHERE-clause and not in the FROM-clause where I would place something like SELECT * FROM .view01 The main problem here are the differences between machine M01 and M02! How would you handle this ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with installation

  Hello! I know that this may not be the correct place for this, but I'm kind of new here and there are a TON of forums. Anyway, I installed the WinFX runtime Beta 2 for Windows XP, then I installed the Windows Vista SDK. Then I downloaded the Visual Studio 2005 extensions. The installation went fine for all of them. However, the extensions weren't working correctly for VB.NET 2005 Express. Intellisense never popped up, and Visual Studio wasn't recognizing control names from XAML documents. So I talked to someone about it, and they told me to try it with C#. So I downloaded Visual C# 2005 Express, but it didn't recognize the WinFX project temp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get and/or set IP address?

  Hey, I'm using VB Express 2005 and I'm trying to write a small program to configure remote network devices. In order to do the initial configuration, I need to get the IP address of the local hard-wired ethernet adapter, or set it. One way of doing this, I figured I could set the local hard-wired adapter to DHCP and connect it to the device. Windows would assign an automatic IP address, which I could simply obtain. I would much rather be able to assign a specific IP address, do what I need to, and the re-set the adapter to its previous settings. Finding the correct hard-wired adapter could be as simple and promting the user with a list of ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS finishes it's execution to early

  Hi! I created a package with a strange behaviour: whenever I run the package in debug mode, SSIS finishes the execution always to early, although there are a lot of tasks left. I tried several different connection styles for the constriants, putting the tasks into container, taking them out again, etc. The result is always the same. Is it a bug or did I overlook something I checked the only possibility, that came into my mind: FailPackageOnFailure is set to True for some component, but it is set to False. Are your precedence constraints are correct Check those first. If they are then check Package E ...Show All

• Visual C# Refactoring namespaces in vs2005

  Using the refactor option within vs2005 is great when renaming a type definition. However - I have the need to move several types from one namespace to another.  Is there a way of doing this similar to the refactor, that will inspect my project - and update any references as well Specifically what I am doing is the following: I have several type defined in Namespace A... A.T1 A.T2 A.Tn Elsewhere in my code I refer to these Types either by: using A; ... T1 or explicitly: A.T1 I have the requirement to rename the namespace A, to B.C thus defining the following: B.C.T1 B.C.T2 B.C.Tn Is there a function within VS2005 that allows me to ref ...Show All

  What would this look like in VB int x = (boolVar1 0 : 1) | (boolVar2 2 : 3) | (boolVar3 4 : 5); Thanks I think that Iif replaces the conditional operator, but it evaluates both sides of the expression, so be careful of that.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WinFX Architecture problem

  I am having a problem whilst developing my first WinFX app, I was wondering if somebody could help me. i have developed a WinFX window application which contains 2 frames. In Frame 1 I load in a separate WinFX page, which contains a list of Hyperlinks. The idea is that when a user clicks on a Hyperlink, the appropriate content page gets loaded into Frame 2. When a hyperlink is clicked within my child page, I am unsure how to bubble this event up to the parent Window. because it is the parent Window that contains the frames, and not the WinFX page that contains the HyperLinks. I am also unsure about how to achieve this via a HyperLin ...Show All
