• Visual Basic unspecified error

  I donno why but whenever i try to pass parameters to the procedure iam calling its giving me an error saying -2147467259 - unspecified error Can anyone tell me what this means The error is when i try to pass parameters oComm.Parameters(0).Value = uHeaderInfo.sProjNumber I would hazard a guess here and say that what you're doing is causing the string to replace the , but not to put quotes around it. If you must do it this way ( and it seems like a hack to me ), then try putting ' ' where-ever you have a in the command string. What benefit do you derive from not using the framew ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to update the build number in a .RC file every time I build?

  I thought this was such a basic thing that it would be built into VS, or answered in a FAQ somewhere, but I can't find the answer.  What is the best way to increment the build number of my (non-managed) C++ exe Microsofts internal build process uses a system very similar to the one described in the articles posted. Since our processes are based around a "daily build" the version information that is stamped into DLLs and EXEs is controlled centrally and corresponds to the day that the build was done. We have a header file (used by RC files amongst others) that is generated by our build lab and checked i ...Show All

• Visual C# Property vs field

  Hi. I don't understand why we should use properties rather than fields to initialize fields. Any work that can do with properties we can do with field itself. I think that only one difference there is and it is that can make a field read-only with properties. Is there another reason to use properties You can use Logic's behind setting is and check values, here is soms self-explaining code: public int MyInt {     get     {         return _myInt;     }     set     {        // When the given ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Does the VSTO package come or not with C++ ?

  Does the VSTO package come or not with C++ * In the compare page it shows that there is only VB.NET and C# in the package. *In the VSTO product description page, there are many samples showing c++ in the project wizard. Could someone help me on that Thank you, Fabio Hello Fabio, VSTO only supports VB.NET and C# as the supported programming languages. VSTO project types exist in the higher end Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) SKUs, and in those SKUs there are C++ project types but not for any of the VSTO project types. Hope that clarifies things.

• Smart Device Development Need some advice from the Pros

  Hi, I need some advice developing a DSP app on PocketPC (specifically iPaq 2215 , which is PPC2003 I think).  I have been developing Windows apps for a long time using VS with C++ as well as C#.  So I am quite familiar with Win32 and the .Net framework on Windows but when it comes to developing for the PPC I am a complete newbie. I have the following requirements for my PPC app: 1) Must be able to record and play back audio at the same time (full duplex). A typical example might be a spectrum analyzer that also needs to send out a test tone at the same time. 2) Need as small as possible latency from recording a buffer of aud ...Show All

• Windows Forms "New Programs Installed" notification on ClickOnce Update

  I realize that this is probably something I can't change, but I thought I would ask anyway. I have a ClickOnce application installed on ~100 computers. When I publish updates, the users always see the "New Programs Installed" notification on their "Start, All Programs" menu. Technically, this is not a new program - is is an update to a program that they already installed. Is there some way to suppress this notification My users are wondering why it is popping up and I am trying to clear up confusion. I would appreciate any suggestions - or even a reason why this is the default behaviour. ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2005 App terminates when I switch to another program

  My VB.NET 2005 application terminates any time I swtich to another program, both in the IDE and deployed. For example, I'll run the app in the VS.NET 2005 IDE, and CTRL-ALT toggle to Internet explorer, and my app terminates. There is no warning or error, it does not break on any line of code. It just disappears. Any thoughts Thanks in advance. Adrian Just a few questions. First, are you certain that it terminates, or is it simply hiding itself In other words, look in the process list and let me know if your application disappears. Secondly, do you mean that you "alt tab" out of you ...Show All

• Smart Device Development c# to develope pocketPC/SmartPhone apps?

  Hi, I am going to develop an application which uses a lot of communication with a PDA's internal GSM/GPRS modem, but also with external units via an extension slot. Now I have heard that the .NET CF is not ultimate for this kind of work, but that Suns J2ME should be used. I have gotten the impression that communication with ports in for example C# is not very well developed. Anyone know where I can find more info on this subject, or have any opinion Thanks a lot! Yes, if language allows you to call this underlying DLL. C# and VB.Net do, don't know about Java. You should check if specific Jav ...Show All
