• Visual C++ Unresolved Token and other link errors when migrating from VC++ 2003 to VC++2005 Express

  Hello all, Here is the situation. I am migrating an existing solution from Visual C++ 2003 to Visual C++ 2005 Express. I have the Platform SDK installed as well. The solution contains two mixed mode projects. One is essentially a managed wrapper dll for a 3rd party static win32 library. I do not have access to the source for the 3rd party library. The other project is a managed executable that utilizes the wrapper dll. These projects worked fine under 2003 but now when I build the DLL project I get the following errors and I am trying to find out why. I have gone through and removed the dependency on _vcclrit.h via the i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO2005 Beta2 : Caching Data with ServerDocument failed

  Hi, I'm working on a solution where a winform Application must open a VSTO Word Template, and the winform App must send a few data to the VSTO Word Template. So, I'm trying to cache a DataSet into a Word VSTO document using the ServerDocument class in the winform App. I use the following code : string model = String.Concat(Soorce.IO.Settings.WordModelPath, "RecipeChapter.dot"); document = new ServerDocument(model);  DataSet dsTest = new DataSet();  DataTable dtTest = dsTest.Tables.Add("TEST"); CachedDataHostItem host = document.CachedData.HostItems["RecipeChapter.ThisDocument"];   if (host == null )     ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and One-way Domain Trusts

  TFS is not operating as I would have expected with regards to authenticating against a trusted domain. As best as I can tell from the User Education site, our configuration should be supported, yet I'm in a situation where the user accounts from the trusted domain cannot authenticate to TFS, and TFS group management will not allow me to add users or groups from the trusted domain either from the UI or using TFSSecurity.exe. The User Education article I'm referring to is: http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/546436.aspx Our configuration: Two domains, "Production" and "Development".

• .NET Development Single p2p? Send files using sockets or remoting?

   I just did my first single application with remoting and I liked it. Should I use remoting or sockets programming If I should use sockets can you please point me to the right information of sending files and everything I could need Thanks For your first question, it really depends on transfer sizes and number of conneced clients, available bandwidth etc. For example, if you're got dialup users you will want every last byte you can squeeze out of the network connection, and so you will want to go the sockets route and implement a very light transfer protocol (e.g. implement a syn/ack with a crc32 on small 2k packets). However, if ...Show All

• SQL Server compatibility question

  just a question.... my web project is using SQL Express2005 and ASP.NET and C#. my web hosting company only have MSsql2000. would there be any conflict with regards to my database im sorry if i sound dumb. im a newbie to this. thanks a lot! There will not be a conflict but you may have to make code changes, there are a fair number of features in SQL Express that will not work with SQL 2000. I suggest downloading a copy of MSDE for yourself(which is free) so you can test before going live with the hoster. ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox loses Selected Index after Keypress

  Hi, I've ran into what I believe might be a bug with ComboBoxes. I found it trying to implement type-ahead functionality. It appears that when I set a selected index value in the text-changed event of a combo, I seem to lose that value after the event has been processed. I thought at first it was the recursive call back into TextChanged, but the value is still there at the end of the procedure. I'd appreciate some feedback before I submit it as a bug. One thing that I'd like for someone to try is to set a break when SelectedIndex = -1 is True. VB Express doesn't allow you do that so I can't see what internal event is causing it to cha ...Show All
