• Visual C++ How to do what I already have done in Visual C++ 6.0

  I have gone through a book called 'Teach yourself Visual C++ 6.0 in 21 days'. Now I have Visual Studio 2005 C++ the Express edition and I see that much has changed. I really can't do what i did in version 6.0 because to much has changed. For example in 6.0 you had a wizard ctrl W and you attached and set a variable to a control and then called UpdateData() to use the control. But how do I do that now Or let me ask how can I in the best way learn ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SVCUTIL only generates config, no proxy class

  First, let me set up my scenerio before I ask my question, because my approach to the scenario may be wrong to begin with: I have my Service Contract (interface) in a seperate DLL (MyContract.dll) than the Service implementation (MyService.dll) because I wanted to deploy the interface with the client (as well as the service) so that I can have the option to bypass the WCF Framework if my service is running on the same machine as the clien ...Show All

• Visual Studio integrating with MSDN

  Can I integrate my company's help into the MSDN I have several ways of generating the help, including the standard help compiler, NDOC and the VS help integration beta.

• Visual C# Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself. That is, some of the buttons were strangely large and the size of some dialogs just didn't come anywhere near the professional, smart look of say, Office 2000. For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ComSvcConfig /hosting:complus option

  Is it possible to host a WCF service using COM+ and expose a net.tcp endpoint The EnterpriseServices.sln example demonstrates exposure through IIS and http, but I am interested if this sample would be possible through net.tcp. The ComSvcConfig tool documentation indicates a /hosting:complus option, but with this option it is not clear where to define the endpoint for the service. In your service e ...Show All

• SQL Server Year on year comparison chart

  I'd like to be able to produce a chart of, let's say, stock level (y axis) by date (x axis) for 2004 (series 1) and the same for 2005 (series 2). However, I just don't know how to do it. I guess I need to overlay one chart with another or something but just can't think my way around the problem. Trouble is, if I do a straight chart, the x axis will start at Jan 1st 2004 and end at December 31st 2005, but I want to be able to compare year on yea ...Show All

• Visual C++ Easily adding methods to the current class

  I know I can bring up the class view, right click a class, and "Add function", but is there an easier way I'm thinking of something like - while using the text editor and writing code for a class, being able to press a short cut key and add a new function without having to use the mouse at all. I've tried to add a shortcut key to "Project.Addfunction" and "Project.AddMethod" in the keyboard editor, but neither brings up the dialog to actually ad ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Exporting to .X

  Okay, I've been messing with this for like two days and I still can't get textures to work, so I figured I'd post here. I'm using Maya 7.0 and I've gotten the exporter installed and I can export geometry just fine, but I'm doing something wrong with where I'm putting the textures/what kinds of textures I'm using/parameters. I'm not sure. I export to a .x file and when I load it up in the DirectX Viewer, the object is there, but there is no textu ...Show All
