• Visual C++ Simple dialog based app not working

  I'm thinking about moving from Visual Studio 6 to VS 2005. I've installed VS 2005 Beta 2. I've created a simple dialog based app, added a edit control with a variable, and added OnBnClickedOk function. In the OnBnClickedOk function I added the following code: void CTestAppDlg::OnBnClickedOk() {    UpdateData( TRUE );    AfxMessageBox( m_strMessText );    //OnOK(); } When I run the app the message box is empty. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong Thanks for the help, Brian I have just tried it on July CTP and it added this text. I guess, I am not sure wh ...Show All

• .NET Development Compare time

• Visual Studio Team System Too many versions of VS2005

  I like the idea behind Team System, but I must say that I find all these different versions of Visual Studio to be extremely annoying. I work for a small company, where I may very well end up doing both architect, developer and tester work. My VS2005 Team Edition for Developers is capable of doing most of the work, but it does not contain the architect tools and some of the test tools. Buying the Universal version of Visual Studio Team Edition containing all the tools is way to expensive just to be able to do web-test and some architectural diagrams. The result is that I'll just do without them. If Microsoft want developers to serio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DoNotDeclareVisibleInstanceFields

  Hello, I'm using FxCop 1.35 and I have a question to the above-named rule: FxCop suggests using a private or internal declaration for a member variable and providing a public or protected property to access ist value from the outside world. I don't understand why internal is more encouraged as protected because in my understanding internal is "weaker" because it it accessable from the whole assembly whereas protected is only accessable by the same class or derived types. Or do I miss something here Well the derived type can be implemented in any assembly, so it can be code that you don't control. With inter ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Different results between REF and HAL devyce

  Hi! When executing my pixel shader, results are ok. But when I execute with my recent new grpahic card Quadro FX 3400/4400 results are rubbish. Exactly what happens is that! In my pixel shader I have these four operations Output.weights.x = (1-frac2.x)*(1-frac2.y);\n" // 1 float output Output.weights.y = frac2.x*(1-frac2.y); // 1 float output Output.weights.z = (1-frac2.x)*frac2.y; //1float output Output.weights.w = frac2.x*frac2.y; // 1float output Using Devyce_REF results are for example 0.5625 0.1875 0.1875 0.0625 that its exactly what i'm waiting for, but using my grpahic card the results are quite differents : 0.56175613 0.19117355 0. ...Show All
