• Visual Studio Express Editions Setting the Version Information in the exe file

  I am currently using the express edition of Visual C++ 2005. Is there any way of setting the version number, description, company, etc. that appear in the Version tab of the properties dialog of the exe There doesn't appear to be a resource editor in the express edition. Is there an alternative or would I need to upgrade to the full Visual Studio to do this Mog0 Yes,That is the correct way. I did it but was not getting the group name. I found the following sol. In .NET this is the AssemblyTitle. If you already have run the executable, then modify the EXE will not modify the group name. That's because ...Show All

• Visual C++ unresolved external symbol YGXXZ vs YAXXZ

  Hello, I have encountered an unresolved external symbol error when trying to use function from a DLL (implicitly linked). The linker complains : "__declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall HYDynamics::init(void)" (__imp_ init@ HY Dynamics@@YGXXZ) is missing.

• Smart Device Development Emulator can't connect to web service

  I thought this would be a simple conversion from VS 2003, but we have an issue we need help figuring out. We have a 2.0 web service and a pocket pc application that needs to connect and use its web methods. Problem is, we get "WebException" when trying to connect. The application worked just fine when it was running under the VS 2003 IDE and emulator. Before blaming the conversion process, we made a new sample application and sample web service to test the issue and have the same problem. This seems to occur both on local machines and remote servers. The error occurs when a call to a web method is made. Any idea ...Show All

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much... Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him. However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didn't work on his PC giving the error: ...Show All
