• .NET Development MSXML JumpStart fails under VS2005 (Error C2664)

  I just downloaded a fresh shiny copy of " JumpStart for Creating a SAX2 Application with C++ " from the MS XML Developer Center. I'm a little surprized to see it doesn't even compile under VS2005, but I'm happy to massage it to get it to work. The issue I could use some input from the forum comes from the fact that before VS2005, wchar_t was declared as unsigned short, but wchar_t is a fundamental type (as it should be). The top-level problem is wchar_t is no longer directly assignable to unsigned short. The actual problem is the SAX2 interface is documented in terms of wchar_t (e.g. ISAXAttributes::getLocalName ) while ...Show All

• Visual Studio Toolbar buttons getting disabled

  Hi, I developed an addin and added a toolbar to it (Visual Studio 2003). The toolbar is instantiated in the CConnect::OnConnection(...) function. Everything works fine and the toolbar is visible, however all buttons of the toolbar are disabled. I have tried various things to enable them but to no avail.

Any help will be highly appreciated. P.S. I have noticied that people usually answer questions related to VS 2005. Is it true or just my feeling If yo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Open

  Can someone tell me how to open an application manifest if you do not have .net on your computer. I don't know. What did you want to do A manifest file is for use by your exe. You say the machine does not have .NET on it, if so, then you can't run the app, so I can't understand what you're trying to achieve - to run the app you require the framework. Why would you be playing with the manifest file on a machine that can't run your app ...Show All

• Smart Device Development DMProcessConfigXML not working

  I have a program that uses "DMProcessConfigXML" to configure GPRS connections. It's been tested to work on the O2 Mini and BenQ P50 (both running Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition). However, when I tried it on the Lenovo ET 960 (running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, Version 4.21.1088, Build 15102.3.0.1), it fails.

If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again." However, if I manually go through the motion of configuring the connect ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Sort Order / Collation

  I have an O2 Xda IIs Pocket PC running PPC 2003 SE, WWE (Worldwide English) edition. I want to create a database which contains all Chinese characters that have been mapped under the Unicode Standard. I already have a similar database on my desktop PC.

• Visual C++ Calling C++ dll from C#

  I am trying to use a C++ dll in my C# application but unsuccessul. Here is what I have done: 1. The C++ code was developed using open BSD. 2. I made a C++ CLR dll using visual studio 2005 - "tc.dll" 3. In my C# application, I add the "tc.dll" as a reference from the solution explorer 4. I tried to instantiate the class of tc.dll using myClass mc = new myClass(); The C# program can not find the class at all. I assumed that since it is built as a assembly dll, all the class and their member functions in there should be visible if referenced. I am very new to C# and .Net, and not sure if what I am ...Show All
