• Visual Studio Express Editions Producing Report

  Hello people I'm writing win app. I have to print "recipts" from my application - in other words: produce a report. However, in the express edition there are no reporting controls such as "crystal reports", "report document" etc. - which I used in the past in previous editions. What should I do One important thing: The report must be "Right to Left" aligned. I tried to play with a little bit of GDI+ with ReportDocument but with no success. Is there another solution which I didn't mention Many thanks. Have a look at the following post, http://forums.mi ...Show All

• .NET Development Visible comments in a component

  I wonder how you add comments in a component that shows up as an description of a method, property or event when it is selected A better desription: 1. You make a component that contains some methods and properties 2. You import the component in a new project 3. You make an instance of a class in your component aClass objC = new aClass() 4. Via the instance you call a method objC.aMethod() 5. After you been writing the instance name ( objC . ), you add a dot and then a menu shows up where you can select a method, property or event within the instance. 6. When e.g. a method is selected there's a descriping text that tells ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot Access Free Registration Materials via Thank-You Emails

  Hi everyone. I'm trying to access the free downloads that come with registration, but I only see the Web Developer downloads listed. I don't see the icons, components, or book that come with C#. I assume they would all be listed on one page, but they aren't there. How can I find them Thanks, John Salerno P.S. I don't understand how to download what *is* there either. The link to the Web Developer book says it's a pdf, but when you download it, the file is an aspx file that won't do anything when opened in WD. When opened in an internet browser, it just tries to download itself again. Maybe the site will be updated and fixed tomorrow. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unmanaged DirectX with Managed C++

  I have been reading about the .NET framework for quite some time, and I found that Managed C++ allows mixing unmanaged and managed code. I've got a few questions about that. Is it possible to use an unmanaged API (like unmanaged DirectShow or DirectX) in a managed application If so, are there any steps that need to be done to do this Are managed API's like DirectX.NET also availible for Managed C++ If so, how do I know if I'm using the managed or unmanaged API Now I've also got a problem with DirectShow. I installed the latest Platform SDK and tried to include <dshow.h>. When I did that, it said I needed <ddraw.h>. Since directd ...Show All

• Visual C# tlbimp.exe problems

  Hello I'm working with Visual Studio Net 2.0. I have a C# with ASP-NET and a MFC-Com interface. Now, i have a problem with my assembly file. Microsoft has a workaround in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814721/en-us . If i use this workaround, he can't compile my webside net 2.0 anymore, because he doesn't know the namespace. If i use Visual Studio Net 2005 to load the dll, he can compile the project, but i get the 'System.Reflection.TargetParameterCountException' Error. My command is: tlbimp.exe tournet.exe /asmversion:1.00 /transform:dispret /out:Interop.tournetexe.dll. Do anybody know the standard parameter for the tlbimp.exe. t ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK1104 cannot find atlthunk.lib with VC++2005xpr and PSDK

  All, I am trying to compile a modified amcap sample out of the DirectShow fold with VC++ 2005 Express Beta 2 and the 2003 PSDK SP1, targeting 32-bit x86; I don't have any 64-bit stuff installed.  OS is Windows 2000 Professional SP4 Rollup 1.  After weeding out a number of compilation errors, I am now left with the linker not finding "atlthunk.lib".  Right - it does not exist on my harddrive.  I am sure that my modifications are irrelevant to this problem; the corresponding version for VC++6 with DirectShow from the DirectX 9.0b SDK compiles and runs fine.  I am using the same DXSDK with Express and PSDK.
