• Visual Basic include DLL widthout make reference....

  Hi everyone. I use an external DLL and I want inlay the DLL into my exe program. (I don't want copy the exe program and the dll file, just 1 file!) How can I do that and I can call the dll file in the code Hello! I would recommend embedding the external dll into your assembly and then using reflection to locate and load it. That would allow you to compile it all as one file. There are some fancy linkers on the market that allow you to do this but your scenario is pretty straightforward. I hope this points you in the right direction. Christopher ...Show All

• Windows Forms what functionality should be included in the client download?

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IRequestChannel or custom ChannelFactory?

  Hi, Some context first: I'm in the process of upgrading an existing framework to WCF. This framework is being used in 500 enterprise applications. From the client side, this framwork receives a Sw.Request message. This base message will contains the Action. You can also create a typed message deriving from this class. One of the requirements is continue to use this message infrastructure. What I need to do.. So now I need to replace that framework with WCF. I started from the client side because the service side won't be the problem. There is no notion of a typed proxy with operations in the client because everything tr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Floating Point Addition Problem

  I have a sticky and weird problem. I have two C++ programs running under Visual Studio 2003. One program works correctly, the other has problems adding two double values. Take the following 3 simple test lines. double dTest1 = 0.00061234567890; double dTest2 = 3359.01234567890; double dTest3 = dTest1 + dTest2; Program that works, dTest3 = 3359.0129580245789 Program that doesn't work, dTest3 = 3359.0129394531250 Notes: 1 - The program that doesn't work may have come from the 16 bit world. 2 - I have checked the compiler and linker options between the 2 solutions and there isn't anything that is obviously different. 3 - I have turned ON the di ...Show All

How can I get the local users full logon name under VB.Net now i.e. John Smith as opposed to SmithJ There was a function for VB6 that would return this but under NET... Not a bad idea Matthew. Given the complexity of System.DirectoryServices and the LDAP provider you might want to consider exposing some of that information through "My" as well. ...Show All

• Visual C++ dllexport and function templates specializations

  Let's say I have the following template function:   Template <typename T> void Fun(T t); I'd like to be able to implement some specializations of Fun in a first DLL (DLL_1), some other specializations in a second (DLL_2), and still some other in a third (DLL_3), but DLL_2 and DLL_3 may make use of specializations implemented in DLL_1. So in DLL_2, Fun<T> may be both imported and exported, depending on T. I somehow managed to implement it by always declaring (in the .h file) the template as dllimport:   template <typename T> __declspec(dllimport) void Fun(T t); and always implementing the specializatio ...Show All

• SQL Server Can replication be ran on a MS sharepoint database?

  Hello, I was curious if you can have merge and/or snapshot replication setup on a MS sharepoint database Thanks. John I don't think that those will work for the following reason. At a recent MS course, we asked our instructor if it was possible to change the content database in SP central Admin to a secondary database server during a crisis. They advised that this might be a problem because the SP configuration database creates hard-coded entries referencing the database server name that it resides on. They suspsected that these entries would cause problems in the long run, if not right away. ...Show All
