• Visual C++ ambiguous symbol

  Trying to compile a C++ WinForms Winsock related project with /clr option I get a few errors after adding #include <winsock2.h> statement. The reference is to a different header file: servprov.h . There is no direct reference in any of my files to this header. I verified it with quick find command. There is no reference to it in winsock2.h either. I do not know where the reference is coming from. Thus my first question is this: how come I get errors (8 total) from a header file that is not a part of my project explicitly. As far as I could determine, serprov.h is being referred via #include <servprov.h> in four other header ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT and Namespaces

  Hi, I'm having problems getting XSLT to deal with namespaces and I'm not sure if it's a .NET thing or a stylesheet thing. With running XPath queries in .NET you need to specify a namespace manager, fine, done that, works a treat. But I don't see any property or method with the XslTransform class that allows a namespace manager to be specified. So question one, is there a way to specify a namespace manager with XslTransform class If there isn't then could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the stylesheet. <sonnet type="Shakespearean">   <auth:author xmlns:auth="http://www.authors.com/">     <last-nam ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do you read pdb files so that you can extract the line number and source file information of the memebrs being checked?

  I need to get information such as the line number and the source file of the violation checked in FxCop. I've searched some threads and it is telling to use pdb files. How can I read pdb files using FxCop sdk Pdb files contain the link between the executable code (ie the assembly or binary) and the source code. You shouldn't need to read the pdb file yourself as FxCop will automatically use this to point to the source file/line in the UI if you pass the node to the Problem constructor. Under what context (ie within a rule, in the FxCop UI, etc) do you need to know the source and line ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Lighting large meshes

  [Ignore the fact that I work at MSFT and my sig says "VS Platform Team". I'm posting this as a user, not an expert ] I'm using the December SDK and writing a C# application that uses Managed Direct3d. In one view I have a mesh, some ambient light and a directional light. I'm not using specular lighting (RenderState.SpecularEnable = false) and I'm using Gouraud shading (RenderState.ShadeMode = ShadeMode.Gouraud) If I render the mesh at its natural scale, the lighting is applied and the scene renders fine. However, if my world transform includes some large scaling, the diffuse lighting is not applied. I tried vary ...Show All

• Visual C# Using C++ Interop in C#...... Help....

  Using 2005 Express of C++ and C# I want to use the STL and STD in VC++ in C# by Interop.

Does anyone know of an example using C++ as the interop in C# I am new to interop and if I had an example that would speed up the learning curve. Thanks for you help!...

• Visual Studio Team System In Web Tests, How to Validate the values on a grid ?

  I want to validate the values that are shown on a grid , based on the values that are selected on a Combo.(Herein internally, the grid gets filled, when the combo box value is changed.) I would also like to know the selected row from the grid, so as to try it... or else Manual testing has always been there at our help   You can do this with a validation rule.  If the value in the combo is displayed on the same page as the grid, then you could do it with one valistion rule.  If the value of the combo is on the previous page, then you would need to use an extraction rule to pull out t ...Show All

• .NET Development SSLStream data out of order

  I am upgrading my FTP server to use SSL. I can successfully negotiate an SSL command channel in response to AUTH. I do synchronous I/O here, and all is fine. When the data channel is protected it immediately begins life as SSL. I use the same asynchronous I/O model for both SSL and non SSL modes, casting either SSLStream to a Stream, or casting the NetworkStream to a Stream to do the I/O. But when the data channel is SSL the data is arriving out of order. All bytes are always received, and the byte content is correct (just out of order). My question is, are there special restrictions, or setup required on SSLStream to do asynchronous re ...Show All
