• Visual Studio Express Editions Repost on problem with debugger reporting wrong values

  Saturday I posted a question about problems I was having with VC++ 2005 Express debugger. The thread I started has disappeared but the debugger problems have not. So I'm re-posting. The debugger is intermittantly showing wrong values for variables and faining to single step correctly through code. For example: in main: bool x = true; someFunc(x); void someFunc(bool x) { if(x) do A do B, etc. Inside someFunc, the debugger shows the ...Show All

• Visual Basic how-to catch when data changed on form?

  I have a form with both a TableAdapter and other TextBox. When the user changes the data in the fields connected to the TableAdapter and click the NEXT or PREVIOUS button, it calls the BindingNavigatorMoveNextItem.Click. My problem is: I checked me.dataset.HasChanges and it says FALSE (although the data was changed). What I don't understand is this: if the user click the NEXT or PREVIOUS button, the me.dataset.HasChanges says ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Correlation/dehydration etc

  Hello all, This may be a stupid question but I'm new to WWF and trying to get a handle on how it works. I'm having trouble understanding correlation. My understanding is that it allows workflows to be dehydrated, then upon a specific event rehydrated and the correlation is used to determine where in the workflow to start I'm probably a little off. I am just trying to understand how workflow instances can be offloaded then reloaded in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any simpler way of customizing FxCop

  Hi, i am writing my own rules for FxCop. I thought it would be easier if FxCop generates any XML since i could traverse through the nodes of the xml and write my rule easily.

Is there any simpler or easier way to write my custom rules or is there any other way through which i can understand and write my own easily Thanks Guns, What ki ...Show All

• Visual C++ warning C4996: 'foo' was declared deprecated

  It appears that several standard C and C++ functions have been 'deprecated' in this version of compiler. This is a major annoyance since neither C nor C++ standards seem to mention this.  Naturally, it is possible to disable unwanted warnings, however doing this manually for every project is a pain in the arse. Is there a compatibility mode Thanks, - NK This is a request for future versions of c and c++ ...Show All

• SQL Server Display a datagrid using the dataset as the source??

  I am not sure how to display this in my report. I have dataset that queries the database to find a list of ingredients. I would like each ingredient listed in a grid. Under each individual ingredient is its amount, which is found from the database, using the Product and Ingredient name discussed above. The ingredient dataset has a list of ingredients. So I need the first one displayed in the first field, the second in the second field and so on. ...Show All
