• Visual Studio Express Editions Obtain files

  Hi, I have unintentionally modified the time.h, time.inl, and maybe other files. Don't you know where can I download them Thanks santiago cgraus wrote: Why don't you install the IDE on another computer and copy them, or just reinstall it locally Seems like the easiest way to ensure you have a clean system. 1. To be safe, be sure to uninstall the IDE first. 2. Then delete anything that might be left in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\ (so that your mangled files won't be preserved as the most recent). Then, I would consider running VC++ in a limited user account ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installation Problems

  I've just installed the DirectX SDK and am getting results not listed by other forums and people.  Previously, I used to program with DX8 and had no problems in setting up dependencies and references.  However, with the DX9 installation, it doesn't recognize any dependencies or references.  I've downloaded the latest update (June 2005 ed. of DX9SDK), and still have problems.  I'm running the .NET framework 1.1 and using C#, C++, and Visual Basic to no avail.  The references in the .NET tab (right-click references then click add reference) should have Microsoft.DirectX, but it isn't there.  Without these dependen ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating a tableadapter.

  In VS2005, when using the update method of the table adapter using a stored procedure, I can use the SourceColumn property of the parameters collection to map the TableAdapter columns to the parameters in the stored procedure. However, I would like to be able to explicitly specify the values of one of the sprocs parameters i.e. not take it from a column. MSDN suggests that there is a value property that I can assign, but I can find it. Thanks, David McKinney. Hi! TableAdapter have UpdateCommand, DeleteCommand, etc. Each command can use Parameters collection. You need to add parameter there. ...Show All

• .NET Development Named Pipes in C#

  I need to pass data from one process to another.  In the "Visual C++ Version 6" world I would have used a global named pipe for this task.  I'm developing in C# and would like to know what construct there is for either creating named pipes or for a "new" technique to pass data from one process to the other. One other specific is that the process producing the information, i.e., filling the pipe, is a service created using C#.  The service, when it receives a command needs to reply with a small amount of data to the process that sent the command to the service.  I was planning to do this via a pipe.  The ...Show All

  Ok, I've upgraded to 2005 from 2003. First problem: all shortcut keys are changed!

• Windows Forms Windows Forms application closes unexpectedly

  Hi, we have a quite large Windows Forms application (one small executable and about 30 assemblies). On several client PCs (Windows XP SP2) the application suddenly disappears (like a crash but without an exception). We register a ThreadExceptionHandler with the application instance to catch otherwise not caught exceptions, which normally works. But in the case of the above issue the application seems to close without calling the Form.OnClosing handle; we always ask the user if the application may be closed, but in the case of the problem no message box is displayed. In our internal logs i see several garbage collector cleanup for some ...Show All
