• Visual C# Updating and retreiving entries from event log!

  Hi, I'm having the following problem and it would have been great if someone can give me a solution. 1. Is it possible to update an existing entry with a particular EventID in the Event log. 2. How can I retrieve the message/description and date of an entry with a particular EventID from the Event log. It would have been helpful if you can support your solution with code in c# Thanks & Regards, Frenz No, you can't modify eventlog entries. But why do you want it The event log is for logging event things, like error, notifications, warning etc... you should not update them. And error accore ...Show All

• Visual C++ Studio 2005 - No more images in toolbar and treectrl in Debug mode... (CImageList problem ?)

  C++ ; MFC ; x86 ; Visual Studio 2005 I was using Visual Studio 2003, and since I have installed Visual Studio 2005, toolbars (CToolBar) and treectrls (CTreeCtrl) don't show images in Debug mode and works fine in Release mode !! The common link between these classes is CImageList class... I don't really understand how I can resolve this problem, so any idea is welcomed :o) Thanks Perhaps some of the project properties didn't copy over correctly during conversion into the debug mode, but did to the release I would check to make sure there are not any additional include directories and that so ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF26198: The work item does not exist, or you do not have permission to access it.

  hi all.  I have been running VSTS at home, but for security ( as in, in case of fire, etc ), I've moved it to my in laws house, put it online using a program called Hamachi, and connected to it over the web.  It all seems to work great.  I can check out code, I can add work items, but when I try to check code in and view the list of work items, I get the error above.  Note: I am logging in as the same user as when the computer was under my desk here, nothing has changed, except the location.  I get the same error when trying to view the list of work items. Obviously, I lack permission to view the list suddenly, al ...Show All

• Visual Basic A Function To Return Two Values

  Hi, Is it possible for a function to return two "things" or items, i.e. a data item the function is used to get (a string) and a result saying if the function was successful or not (boolean) What I am trying to do is parse through an XML file from a server (where lots of things could go wrong), and use the data in my application by calling a function which does the parsing. I need to be able to display an error message in the application if the parsing function goes wrong. Thanks. Hi It is not possible for a function to literally return two values but there are ways of achieving this. ...Show All

• Visual C++ _itoa "identifier not found" once ported to VS 2005

  I have recently installed VS 2005 and loaded my VS 2003 project. I quickly realized that I needed/wanted to define "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" bc I need to be up-and-running with a clean compile fairly soon. After adding the underscore to many of my string related calls, my only remaining problem is with four existing _itoa() function calls. I get the following compile errors: error C3861: '_itoa': identifier not found Sure, it seems that I have just forgot to include stdlib.h, but of course this is not the case as this is old code. What am I missing I have even created the simplest of VC++ Win32 test programs and adde ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrading mirrored databases

  I am in the process of architecting SQL 2005 HA options and of course mirroring is at the top of the list. Does anybody know what the requirements are regarding upgrading mirrored databases, for example, applying hotfixes and service packs Is it a requirement for the principal and mirror (and witness if applicable) to be at the same build level Is there any requirement to upgrade one first and then the other as there is with replication topologies I had a look in BOL but can't find anything covering this (perhaps I missed it).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pixel shader 3.0 constant indexing and other poofs

  Hi. I wanted to perform some deferred shading using pixel shaders 3.0 and DirectX 9.0c in a GeForce 7800. All was fine until I tryed to change the "stencil light volumes" for an unique pixel shader... Noticed the FXC ( effect compiler ) has two HEAVY problems: 1) Doesn't allow texture arrays. For example, you cant do "shared texture tex [ 8 ]". 2) Doesn't support pixel shader constant indexing. Surfing the Internet I found this http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/cgi_directory/ultimatebb.cgi ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=013925 thread in the OpenGL forums... And that situation is exactly the same I have... Due to the lack of that pixel shad ...Show All
