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

  Hello! I am wondering if it is possible to configure visual studio 2005 to not require a bunch of external dll files to run the exe. Also is there any way to figure out exactly what the external files it needs are When i try to run an exe on a computer that does not have visual studio 2005 on it, i get the message: "failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect".

• Visual Studio August CTP Visual Studio 2005

  Hi,   I installed Augist CTP of VS2005 and it also does not have the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package.Project.dll. hence how do I build my VSIP packages referencing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package.Project.dll. Posts on this forum indicated that August CTP of VS2005 worked fine. Thanks, -K  There is no version of the SDK with package.project for RC. You will have to go back to one of the SDKs that supports B2. July or Aug. But, that wont be much help because it will depend on an assembly that is no longer part of the product. Really, its best to wait the 2 weeks until our Oct CTP is out. ...Show All

• Visual C# Missing C# Templates

  How many Templates should be installed with a new installation of VS 2005 It looks like we are missing them. I see there was a problem with this with C# Express Beta's. We have three different installations and none of the installed templates are the same. It is dependent upon what you installed.  C# itself for projects has 4.   Windows Application Windows Control Library Class Library Console Application For Windows-based projects I have the above plus Empty Project Web Control Library Web Service The last two will probably not be available if you didn't install the web de ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using ListView SelectedIndexChanged Event to Show Forms

  I have a ListView called TrainingListView that has a collection of 12 items. Each item represents another form that I would like to show if the user clicks on it. My problem is that the items in the collection don't appear to have a click event, so I need to use the SelectedIndexChanged event as workaround to get the same functionality. I've been struggling for the last several days on the code to get the SelectedIndexChanged event to open the appropriate form based on the user's choice. I listed the code below for the first two items in the collection. My problem seems to be in the syntax for the index value of the item in the collectio ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using WinHelp in Visual C++ Studio 2005

  I am trying to port some old Borland code to Visual C++ 2005. I have a help button that is supposed to open a help file. I have a MyHelp.hlp file and a MyHelp.cnt file. According to the MSDN Help (and the instructions in my help file development program), the way to do this in Visual C++ is by using the WinHelp() function, defined in windows.h file. Unfortunately, this file seems to no longer exist in the 2005 version of Visual Studio (I searched for it). Does anyone know how this is done now Thanks in advance to all who respond! Note: In case it makes a difference, I am currently using a downloaded Visual Studio 2005 Express version ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Test - Any way to compare an Extracted value (Context Variable) against an expected result?

  Hi, Is there any way to compare an Extracted value against another expected value without using coded Web Tests Thanks The extracted value can be compared without using coded Web Test. It can be done by combination of Extraction rule and Validation rule. The "Context Parameter Name" entered in extraction rule can be used in the validation rule as expected value. It has to be taken care that the context parameter name should be appended by {{ __ }}. Eg: If Context Paramerer Name is UserID then {{UserID}} has to be entered as expected value in validation rule. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to draw text on video

  hi, i have seen the RGBFilter sample but i want draw a changing string on the video, and the string is changed according the time. For example, when i click a button on my software, it triggers the function to show the string on the video, after ten second, i want to draw another string on the video, how to do that any suggestion is appreciated! I have seen this done a number of ways. Which way is easiest will probably depend on the type of data you are playing with (AM_MEDIA_TYPE). One (relatively) simple was is adding the SampleGrabber filter. It will call you with a pointer to the raw data. You can draw on the buffer to you ...Show All
