• Visual C++ 2005 Resource Editor trashes non-English languages when you edit any dialog

  I have an application that has resources in 11 languages, including Chinese (CHS), Hungarian and Polish. These three are especially challenging because they use a non-English code page - Chinese uses 936 and Hungarian and Polish use 1250 (English and western-European languages use 1252). I am not using Unicode but rather just single byte characters sets for all languages except Chinese which requires MBCS (two byte characters). MFC an ...Show All

• Visual C++ HandleInitDialog returns FALSE when successful in VS .Net 2003

  Hi, I wonder if someone can confirm this issue that I'm seeing between VS 6.0 and VS .Net 2003. In the bardlg.cpp file that ships with VS .Net 2003, the HandleInitDialog function is defined as follows: LRESULT CDialogBar::HandleInitDialog(WPARAM, LPARAM) {    Default(); // allow default to initialize first (common dialogs/etc)    // create OLE controls    COccManager* pOccManager = afxOccManager; &n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Iterations's Scope

  I understood that, in MSF 4.0, each iteration should be composed by activities of all tracks, well, at least, the majority of them (plan, build, stabilize and deploy). These days a friend of mine asked me about that governance picture (MSF for CMMI). It shows a lot of successive iterations, but none of them covering the four tracks at once. It looks very similar to the RUP approach, when the iteration scope varies depending of the current devel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Using an object as input to the CR Designer and runtime

  I just succeeded in getting my first CR .rpt file built with the ADO.Net Dataset designer resulting in a nice tabular report at runtime (passing an ADO.Net dataset, rendering it as a PDF report, etc). Now I need to find out how to fill out the Report Header and Page Header sections. At runtime, most all of the information I need for these sections is available to me in the Request.Form object.
