• Visual C++ Intrinsic available for reading CPU flags

  Hi. I'm looking for intrinsics that allow me to read CPU flags, especially the carry flag would be important to me. I'm writng x64 application so I have no possibility to use the inline assembler therefor. I would need the flag register to check wheter a value assigned to an unsigned __int64 caused an overflow. Thanks in advance, Trenor seems without inline assembler, it's hard to retrieve the flag register. if a assignment caused an overflow, there should be an exception raised. ...Show All

  I just uninstalled/reinstalled TFS on my server.  I uploaded my custom process template, and created a new team project from my template.  However, when I try to right-click the Work Items folder, Add Work Item, it says "Add Work Item menu still loading...(try again in a moment)".  It has been saying this for over an hour now.  When I remote desktop into the TFS server and use team explorer on there, I can add work items just fine.

  Hello All, I have this simple question. When you write a application in VB.NET. The application begins to execute from SUB MAIN.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing over VS 2005 Beta 2

  Question 1: What is the correct way to install VS 2005 Standard over VS 2005 Beta 2. Should Beta 2 first be removed and then install the Standard VS or is it ok to install over the Beta 2 version. Question 2: I have been trying to use the different starter kits and the .vsi files are not recognized by VS 2005 Beta2.

I have searched for answers but have not come up with anything that is helpful. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks John You can't i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Smartphone and scrollable dialogs

  Is there a way to programmatically scroll a Smartphone full-screen dialog (initialized with SHInitDialog) and set the focus to a control initially not in the visible portion of the dialog The purpose is to bring the user to the control that had the focus before screen rotation (dynamically switching from portrait to landscape). It must be possible, as this is thebehaviour of the standard Smartphone dialogs. According to CESpy, scrolled controls are moved outside the client area so I've been trying several combinations of DM_RESETSCROLL and MoveWindow, DeferWindowPos, SetWindowPos, etc. ...Show All

If you are a little paranoid, then also exclude all temporary ASP.NET application folders beneath the .NET root folder. ...Show All
