• Visual C++ capturing command line parameters in a windows app

  Hello, Can someone please help. I'm trying to understand how to get commandline arguments into an ultra simple windows app. This works with the comments but I want something like the commented bit to work... #include "stdafx.h" int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {   puts("progname is...");   puts(argv[0]);   return 0; } /* int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,                      HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,                    &n ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Sockets Connection timed out

  I have a small server running on a PocketPC 2003. I also have a php-script that takes the ip-address of the ppc and sends a socket to that ip-address. Im using mobileIE to connect to the php-server and I get the following: Unable to connect to (*ip adress*) (connection timed out). I know the php-script works, it has been tested. There are no firewalls that I know of, my "php-server" has none. If it was a firewall I should get a "connection refused" I have tried several different ports. Can it be anything in the PocketPC that blocks the socket These forums are related to device devel ...Show All

• Smart Device Development application does not appear in 'Remove Programs'

But I'm not entirely sure what i need to do in order to create a shortcut to it in under 'Programs' and dont know how to make it appear in 'Remove Programs'. Thanks. No, that should not matter either. Unless installation completely failed (because of security restrictions or for any other reason) and application was never installed.

• Smart Device Development Question on listview (re)population - performance issue

  Hello, I'm new to UI programming in general, and smartphone UI programming in particular. I have a  question relating to performance of listviews. I have a listview object that has around 200 items with 2 columns each. Displaying this takes quite a while when I test it via the emulator (unfortunately I don't have a WM 5.0 device to deploy to and test on) -- to the order of almost a minute before the listview is displayed the first time when run via VS. Also, my code switches between 2 different lists based on a hotkey being pressed. The second list has fewer items and displays fast, but whenever I clear the listview and reload the firs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Agent problems with Sept CTP

  I installed the new controller/agent on a clean machine.  It appears to have installed correctly, but I can't run any tests on the agent.  The test (a simple web click test) runs fine on my local machine.  I have bumped up tracing on the agent and service.  The controller log says it sucessfully queues the test run and the agent log says it sucessfully connects to the controller, but it just hangs there.  After a while, I get a timeout in VS.  Is there a list somewhere of the debug steps to go through to help diagnose agent problems and any command line tools   Also, should I be seing values in the SQL ...Show All

• .NET Development Gathering text via Serial Port

  I'm attemting to gather text via the serial port.  Using the snippet included with VB 2005, I'm not certain how to extract the info gathered and stored in the StringBuilder.

• Visual Studio Team System Newbie in WebTesting using 2005, How to do this ??

  Hello, It's my first time around, I usually hang in [http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/] but this one here is a lot better I think. Well, I have a web site, few months ago we needed some metrics of the performance so I took my stop-watch and looked at how many seconds it takes to do some of the main scenarios in my web site. Now, my boss had me install the beta version of VS2005 and asked me to do same with it. I think VS2005 is really great but also, a bit confusing so I would need a little help getting around it. Here's what I must do: Create several tests to be executed in a precise order, execute each tests 10 times before ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using mfc40.dll instead of mfc80.dll with Visual Studio 2005

  Hello there, good people. I need help and I'm hoping a good and knowledgeable soul out there might take the time to assist me. I have an old Visual Studio v6 project written in C++ that I'm contemplating making Visual Studio 2005-compliant. I'm beginning to wonder if this is worthwhile, however. Here's the deal: - It's a very simple command-line utility. - It has a very small size (40kB) and it's confined to being just one simple .exe file. - Back in the days of Visual Studio 6, it linked with MFC40.DLL since that's the dll that I believe has been shipping with all the Windows OSs. Visual Studio 2005 present ...Show All
