• .NET Development Will AnyCPU cause binaries to run as 64-bit on x64 machine

  I used VS2005 professional to compile 18 .Net assemblies using the AnyCPU platform setting in configuration manager. I also have a startup executable that calls into one of the GAC libraries to start/run the program.  I compiled both the program and all assemblies on at 32 bit Windows 2000 OS using the "AnyCPU" platform setting On the 64-bit computer running XP-Professional(64)... All assemblies were successfully loaded a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh draw not respecting depth

  Hello! I've created a small sample, drawing a few Box's with the Mesh class, just to get the feeling of DirectX. Unfortunally, the objects that appear on top - being most visible - are the one's that are rendered at the end, and not the one's that are farther away from the camera. Im sure i've missed something, but can't seem to find out what (Guess that's because its such a newbie question... ) Well, thanks for your atention. I can post the co ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO.net DataAccess time SLOW

  Unless I am doing something very wrong, it seems that the ADO.net dataaccess time,IE retrieving a record is extremly slow compared to Classic ADO. Now it takes between 1 and 2 seconds to retrieve the data from the Remote database (Access). Because of needing update data when I select a serial number, I presume and currently use direct access to the remote database. I load a combobox with all my serial Numbers, Currently 15,000 . Then when I c ...Show All

• Visual Basic Exception handling doesn't catch errors

  I seem to be missing a fundamental point regarding exception handling. My understanding is that when an error occurs, it can be caught by Catch without abnormally terminating the program. Mine will always abnormally terminate when an error occurs. An example is below. When the connection fails to open, the application breaks instead of executing the Catch block. Why Try cnSQL.Open() xMainMenu.ShowDialog() Me .Close() cnSQL.Clos ...Show All

  I realize that there seems no way to use classes under System.net to configure IE explorer's proxy setting. Everybody seems to point to wininet.dll, which i dont quite like to use. Unless microsft create a managed version of wininet.dll , otherwise, I prefer to use System.net classes to change IE explorer's proxy setting...but is that possible ...Show All
