• Visual C++ vc++ 6.0: error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'string'

  actually if i don't include my home-gown time header file the above problem goes away. A slightly more worrisome one is: LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _Direct3DCreate9@4   Which appears whether i call it with microsoft generated code or my own i have the DSDK and DirectX 9.0c (both december 2005) It only appears when i try to build the file, it compiles with no errors. i put both the necesary DSDK and PSDK directories in their proper locations I tried playing witht he compiler options.

• Visual Basic vaildate email address

  Hi guys, again probably something simple, but I'm writing a form in which I need to control whether an email address is valid (contains @ symbol) any ideas how I can do that thanks, chris (sorry for asking really dumb questions - but I'm trying to unstupidify myself) Hi Chris Regular expressions are very powerful but the patterns do make them look extremely daunting.

Once you have that working, the code is very similar for all other types of regular expression patterns you ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Uninstall won't work

  I'm having problems with my current installation of VB 2005 Express Beta 2 and want to uninstall/reinstall, but can't. if i try to uninstall, i get a popup saying "Setup is unable to determine a valid ordering for the installation.

• Visual Studio Using Layout toolbar in custom windows forms designer

  Hi, I am building a custom windows forms designer and I would like to enable the "Layout" toolbar for it so that I can use Align commands (and also TabOrder command).
