• Visual C++ CRT heap in DLL

  I used to believe that each process has a default heap shared by everybody in the process space including code in loaded DLL and heap manager works as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dngenlib/html/msdn_heapmm.asp Then I’ve found out that if DLLs are linked with CRT each has own heap manager http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms235460.aspx My questions: how those individual default heaps are allocated and grow if the DLL needs more memory What is their initial size and limit My application is ISAPI filter/extension that runs out of memory once in a while.

• Smart Device Development Add MFC class member fct by simple mouse click in VS2005 ???

  Hi everyone, in VC++ 6 there was a very easy way to add virtual functions (e.g. ExitInstance()) and WINDOWS message handlers from a list, just by clicking on the appropriate class name. The appropriate wizard added fct name and such. Very neat! In VS2005, I just can't find this function. has this been removed or is it hidden somewhere. tnx Erich ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Version Control entry in Team Explorer won't show files/folders

  We recently installed Team Foundation Server and have a sample team project going successfully.  The Foundation Server install is a clean one and everything is on a single machine (WSS, Reporting Services, Foundation Server and SQL Server 2005 April CTP).  We've added a solution (and associated code files) into the source control for the team project using VS.NET 2005's Add Solution to Source Control menu entry.  It added all of the files fine and the creator of the project was able to view them by clicking the Version Control item in Team Explorer.  However, when anyone else opens that team project and clicks the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development IO.Ports.SerialPort - issue with .BytesToRead and DataReceived Event

  Hi Folkes! I'm currently developing an infrared IR-communication software for PocketPC's with Windows Mobile 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 5.0 The communication is based on:    PocketPC virtual serial-port --> IR    and    IR --> Device serial-port. I wrote a communication-library for windows first, which worked perfectly with a real serial conncetion (no use or IR). The same code should work for the virtual serial-port and IR, since it's only a simple IR serial-bridge. Here comes the issue: It's possible to write data from the PocketPC to the device with .Write() It's possible to re ...Show All

• .NET Development publish feature stopped working

  2 days ago after months of it working, the publish feature has stopped.   Within Visual Studio I get the following in the output window. Error: The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application. Well several repair and reinstalls later, the problem remains.  So I thought maybe the command line version will give more details on the underlying problem.

• Visual Studio Team System Requirements management and VSTS

  I see bits and pieces of info that indicate VSTS can manage requirements and other development artifacts.   Is this true, and if so, where can I find screen-shots or other detailed documentation on its capabilities   My organization is a software company that is at a point where we need to either upgrade our Requirements Management tool or select a new one.  The new release of our RM tool has some pretty major deficiencies in searching and versioning, although it does a pretty good job at end-to-end traceability between artifacts.     Some of our artifacts are maintained as living documents (i.e. reflect ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper. And based on the searches that I have done in Google and in these forums, I'm beginning to think there is something fundamental I missing based on the small number of responses to this problem. My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects. I understand that this is because MSBuild does not support them, but I am flabbergasted by this fact. What use is a build system that does not create the fundamental deployment deliverable Obv ...Show All
