• Visual C++ warning LNK4078

  Hello, We recently ported a huge MFC app of ours from VS6 tot VS.Net 2003. Which, aside from a few hickups, went quite fine! In Debug build, everyting builds without any errors/warnings. But in Release build, each project (there are about 7) links with a lot of linker warnings: LINK : warning LNK4078: multiple '.data' sections found with different attributes (60000020) LINK : warning LNK4078: multiple '.data' sections found with different attributes (60000020) ... I googled for the warning, but this only brought me to some issues with VS6... Has anybody had this warning in VS7 How do I get rid of it Thanks in advance! Fretje ...Show All

  I am trying to move an application from VB6 to VB.net 2005 Express. I have all the code converted without error. Now I need to add several classes. The classes were moved from VB.net 2002 to 2005.

• Visual Studio Team System ?!

  I have just installed the Team Suite. Now, should I be able to use it without the server Under File->New, I only see 'Team Project'. Is that how it is supposed to be If that is the case, I assume I now have to install the server part too. That wouldn`t be good... Thanks Rob. I apologize for not answering earlier, but I never got alerted about your reply. I decided to completely reinstall XP, Visual Studio... Btw, I dont remember choosing any profiles. I think the problem was caused by installing Team Foundation Server before installing Team Suite. Off the topic but... Is there a good tutorial on usi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connection String in Module

  Hi, I'm currently working on an application that has only one Form + 2 Modules. In one of my modules i need to have access to 2 Access DataBases. I know there are some objects we can add to our forms to gain access to databases, but I dont want my form to have access to the databases, just one of my modules. Is there a way to do that or do I need to use the form thanks a lot for helping. Its been a long time since I worked with DB. Typically the form is used as the UI only and all db work should be done in a DAL comprised of modules and or classes... So yes you can put your connection string in a module (recommend looki ...Show All

• Visual Studio Consuming MSSCCI plugin - calling SccInitialize

  Hi I'm trying to write an editor (in C#) that would be able to connect to source control using MSSCCI, much like Visual Studio does. I've started by importing SccInitialize method from the VSS plugin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssscc.dll. I can call SccGetVersion() and it works fine, but when I call SccInitialize, it returns -15 ( #define SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR -15). SccInitialize populates and returns lpSccName (puts "Source Safe" there) and lpAuxPathLabel (puts "Source Safe Database" there). Is there anything special I have to do to consume VSS plugin from my custom code Is there ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Reading and Writing ListView's to file, with a twist

  Hi, I need to be able to save the contents of a listview (with a single subitem in each item, which has multi-line text) to a file and then be able to read it back into the listview. I tried the basic approach, which led to incorrect reading, since the subitems contained multiple lines and my code treat any one of those lines as a subitems text rather than treating all the lines as the text (no simple way of knowing where my subitem text began and ended), so... I tried serialization, which seems to work on the save side of things, but when i try and load the info back in, i get a casting error on my BinaryFormatter. Can someone please write ...Show All

• .NET Development Converting streams

  I have a Stream which is Stream stream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream(); I need to convert this System.IO.Stream into System.IO.MemoryStream. How can I do that with C# 2003 The data that a server returns is an image. I would do byte [] data = webClient.DownloadData(uri); but for certain reasons I have to use HttpWebRequest/Response. Thank you. You can't convert it from one to the other .. you would read data from that stream into a memory stream. Although I am curious why you need to read it into a memory stream as opposed to using the response stream directly I can write code such as .. public void DoSomething(Stream s) ...Show All
