• Smart Device Development Clock() linker error

  I am working with some legacy code and trying to compile and run fron VS 2005. They are using the method clock() defined in time.h I keep getting a "unresolved external symbol" for this method.

And shouldn't this lib(s) be automatically included SO why would I get this linker error This error ocuurs both for PocketPC 2003 and Mobility 5.0. Thanks I take it this has been moved then Well, clock() and the other functions from time.h just plain don't exist on Windows CE-based platforms and in fact neither does sever ...Show All

• Visual Basic Conversion from string "0" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

  I'm getting the above error when trying to pass the value from a hiddenfield control to an integer parameter in a class. This results in a "Input string was not in a correct format. " error. If I try to cast the hiddenfield's value to an integer, I get the same conversion error ('Conversion from string "0" to type 'Integer' is not valid.'). is this a bug Basically I'm having exactly the same problems with dates. If I force the output format to be US using a format specigier then it can parse my date fine on the "post". There seem to be a few people suffering from this too. I am going to ...Show All

• Visual C# What is the command line?

  What is the command Line and how do i find in the IDE The command line is not part of the IDE. It's the "traditional" interface to the operating system, where you perform operations by typing commands instead of using the mouse. For example, all .NET compilers are command line applications in the end - they're just hidden behind the Visual Studio IDE. You open the command line by select "Run" from the start menu and typing "cmd". ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Most flexible deployment is to GAC?

  Working on a VSTO Word application. Users will need to be able to pull documents from a Sharepoint site that use the app as well as email them to each other, and also be able to work offline... Right now I have decided to install the assemblies into the application folder. However, I assume that if two users install into different app folders (or if Program Files is on D: for one user...) then they cannot email the document from one user to another and have it work (I haven't tested this yet). So it seems the best place to install the assemblies would be in the user's GAC and have them strong named and refer to them that way from the d ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying .NET 2.0 Application to Network?

  I am trying to deploy a .NET 2.0 Application to the network. However, I have run into the Runtime Security Policy problem. The whole point of deploying to the network instead of to each user's machine was to decrease the amount of work involved in the initial deployment and any future deployments. I want to make the deployment process as easy as possible without leaving gaping security holes. I was wondering what the general consensus is on the best way to do this Is it easier to simply just deploy to each user's machine with an auto-update feature built into the application Or would it be better in the long run to digitally ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Who am I?

  No this is not an existential question. The Team Fonudation Server seems not to know and I can't work it out myself! Let's put it plain and simple. I am a user called "Bernd Wechner". Everything I did until recently on the TFS was clearly by Bernd Wechner. Reently (I can't tell when exactly because my activity has been low and sproadic, we're just kick starting the system) everything I do is attributed to a user called TFSSETUP. That is the history of work items I change, the "All My Work Items" query and any files I edit int he Document library (and the version history of them) show "TFSSETUP" as the user ...Show All

• SQL Server Error importing excel file

  When ever importing a excel file or flat file, I get an Unhandled exception error and the event log reads a .Netframework error ID 1000. Checking the database I was importing into, I find that the table was created with the columns, but no data within the columns. The import wizards report 509 row copyed before crashing with the Handle error, where a dialog box appears allowing debug or close. Can anyone help I include the logged errors.

• Windows Forms Routing of User Input through .net framework

  Hi, how to route keyboard input Let's say I have an EditControl (TextBox). How can I manipulate keyboard events. Or more clearly, how can I determine which keyboard events shall be routed to the TextBox and which keyboard events (shortcuts e.g. CTRL+S = Save) should be routed to the window which comes next in the hierarchy (the parent window). How can I forward an event to a specific window. How can I define application global shortcuts (accelarators ) Thank you, wannabe Wannabe, Well, the short answer is to buy a book....

• Visual Studio VS2005 Crystal 10 rpt to servr with Crystal 9?

  Hi First let me say that I am reasonably new to working with Crystal. I have VS2005 web solution, and I created a new Crystal report and placed it on an ASP.Net page using the CrystalReportViewer control. It works really well on my machine. However, when I tried to move it up to the server, it wouldn't work - the reason is that the server only has Crystal 9 installed. The VS2005 process creates the report in Crystal 10 and sets all the settings in the config files the same (correct ). So the question is, what do I do now Is there a way that I can get the report to work Or should I install Crystal 9 on my machine and work with that M ...Show All
