• Visual C# passing arrays to unmanaged functions - best way ?

  The situation is the following: I've got the unmanaged function void cblas_zaxpy( int N, DoubleComplex* alpha, DoubleComplex* X, int incX, DoubleComplex* Y, int incY); [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] struct DoubleComplex {     public double real;public double imag; } form > atlas.dll < (in the original definition the pointers are void* ).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems with authentication using VWD

  I am having alot of problems trying to setup authentication. I am using VWD and SQLExpress 2005. I was following a tutorial and managed to get a user created.

Due to another problem, I had to reboot and when I tried again with the Web Site Administration Tool I then get the following: An error ...Show All
