• Visual C++ scanf_s debug problem

  Hi, I have just installed Visual Studio 2005 and am upgrading some W32 console programs developed under VS2003. When I compiled them, I got the warning about "scanf" being deprecated. Accordingly, I modified the function calls to "scanf_s" and continued. When compilingg for Release, all works well, but if I compile for Debug, characters from stdin (apart from terminators) are not passed into the program. I knocked up the following to test this - #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> void main( void ) { char Text[16] ; printf( "Text " ) ; scanf_s( "%s" ,Te ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Working with Frames

  We have a website that requires a login and, based on users roles, displays anywhere from 3 to 10 frames. The initial recording was done with a "super user" account so that all requests were recorded. Now, during playback with an ID having limited access, the web test fails due to the number of frames not authorized for this user. I believe that I can determine what frames are authorized for this user by looking at the response from an earlier request and use this information to prevent the calls that I know are going to fail. Is this doable Thanks. I coould do this from a coded web test. How ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sequence vs. CompositeActivity Guidance

  Hello, Could anyone please provide some guidance as to when to create a custom activity that is based on Sequence and when to base it on CompositeActivity   I see some of the same WWF activities are based on Sequence while other derive from CompositeActivity.  I'm not clear on how to decide what to use in which situations. Thanks, Notre Notre, This is correct.  A CompositeActivity would not execute any of its children, by default.  You'll need to write your on Execute method to this.  As for designers, the CompositeActivity doesn't have any special designer, so you'll e ...Show All

• Visual C# A problem about binary file source safe versioning

  Does anyone of you ever try to check in your binary files for versioning We have this habit since the day when we work on VB projects. Since COM versioning is very important, we have very clear habit to keep different versions of the DLLs. Now in .net, with VS.NET 2003, we realize there is a very strange behaviour which prevents binary files checking from working properly. Lets say, we have 3 projects: ClassLibrary1, ClassLibrary2, WindowsApplication1 -->: reference ClassLibrary2 --> ClassLibrary1 WindowsApplication1 --> ClassLibrary1, ClassLibrary2 When I have checked out all WindowsApplication1 binary files, while leaving ClassLib ...Show All

• Visual Studio ctc file has UTF-8 markings, parser doesn't understand

  In my post I describe a way to fix a problem where the auto generated CtcComponents have uft-8 byte ordering markers.  The parser doesn't understand these markers.  My questions are: What parser is complaining about this   (The exact error is Unknown section header) Are there any options to enable utf-8 compatability The CTC file does not work with files that are not in the ANSI encoding. Meaning that if you wish to use different character sets, you need to save the files in ANSI, but use different codepages. I believe the plan is to switch to allow different encodings in future versions o ...Show All
