• Visual Studio Express Editions read write serial port

  I have found several classes online that say they make using the serial ports easy. I am never able to get any of them to compile. Is there a bare bones example of how to read/write to a serial port all bundled in a project for Visual C++ Express Edition It depends what classes you found. You need a class based purely on the Win32 API. Even than you need to install the PSDK as documented. If you used one using MFC and ATL you must fail because MFC and ATL are not part of VC Express. http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/learning/vcexpvids/default.aspx ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do I Pass Values from an Event Sink

  Hi, I have an event sink which has passed into it custom event args (similar to the statemachine sample).

• Windows Forms DataSet change does not update bindingSource.

  Hi, I have a DGV with a datasource of a BindingSource. THe BindingSource has a DataSource of a typed DataSet table. These have been linked using the designer. On a button, I want to change the rows that the DataSet table contains, and then have the bindingSource and DGV update automatically (as well as any other controls bound to the bindingSource). Currently, I make the change to the DataSet using tableAdapter.Fill(DataSet.Table) and the bindingSource and DGV do not update. I've tried adding resetbindings to the bindingSource.. but no avail. Any ideas... please. Also, is there any standard doc on this type of thing.. e.g ...Show All

• Visual C++ On adjacent ">"s in a parameterized declaration

  Hello, There is a syntax erron in the following code -- adjacent ">"s need a delimiter (it is marked AAAA) template <class T> class A {}; template <class T> class B {}; int main() { A<B<int>>(); // AAAA } But VC8 can compile it. It seems to be a error but on the other hand Mr. Stroustrup have being dreaming on such a syntax for ages and he promotes it pretty vigorously now, as far as know. So, I am just curious if it is the bug or a favor -- Michael Kochetkov Probably a bug.  Forgiving incorrect C++ syntax is not a favor if it means non-portable code. ...Show All
