• Smart Device Development Setting up the Correct ATL Include and Lib paths after eVC4.0 project port to VS2005

  Hi I ported an application that compiled and linked fine in eVC4.0 to VS 2005. When I compile the project in VS 2005 I get the following linker error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol VarBstrCat referenced in function "public: long __cdecl ATL::CComBSTR::AppendBSTR(wchar_t *)" ( AppendBSTR@CComBSTR@ATL@@QAAJPA_W@Z) In looking into this I see that the include file used for ATL is the main Win32 one and not the SmartPhone 2003 SDK one. I know I can include this in the Tools->Options->Directories stuff but if I do this this will have an overall effect on all project (non Smart Device ones included). If there an ea ...Show All

• SQL Server VS2005 Syntax Highlighting for SQL code?

  We are currently using Visual Studio 2003 (7.1.3088) and have installed VS 2005  (8.0.50727.24).  In VS2003 when we open any SQL code (usually .sql extension) there is syntax highlighting on all the code.  In VS2005 there is no syntax highlighting that I can find, even if I open a file using "open with".  After searching for a solution I tried editing the registry but it appears that 2005 is different than 2003.  Does anyone know of any way to get the syntax highlighting back in VS2005 when editing sql files   ...Show All

• Visual C# Copy Local Fails

  I have a large solution (16 c# dll projects, 1 c# exe project) where the dll projects are project references  of the exe project.  I have set copy local true for all the projects. The problem is on alternating rebuild-all builds one or two of the 16 dll's are not copied into the exe's bin/debug directory.  On the good build, all references are there and on the next build, some of the dll's are missing. Any suggestions SB Hmm.. we have 70 dll projects and 1 exe. Yes, we have sometimes such problems like you desribed it above, but it happens very rarely.
