• Visual C++ Dll problem

  Hi all, not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.   I have created a Win32 dll in VS2005 C++ express. I actual call this dll from VB.net. On my machine (XP) that I develop the VB app and compile the unmanaged dll, I can call functions using PInvoke no problem. I have just tried running the app on a Win 98 machine and I am told that it cannot find the dll, but the dll is right there in the same directory as my exe, just like on my development PC. I don’t know that much about the unmanaged world, of course this may be a .net issue!   Any comment would be appreciated   Cheers &n ...Show All

• SQL Server SSEM - How do you connect to an MDF file?

  I have SQL Server Express 2005 (April CTP) along with SQL Server 2005 Express Manager (SSEM).  I am trying to create an ASP.NET web site using VS 2005 and in the process I want to create and use a smallish SSE database using an MDF file.  I thought I could connect to the MDF with SSEM to populate the DB with some data but I can't figure out how to connect.  Does SSEM support this   Is there a better way to do this - perhaps from within VS 2005 Keith Hill wrote: Nevermind. I had not opened up the permissions on the parent dirs. It connects now. Thanks. Hi, How do you set the per ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug in MSSCCI Provider or in VS2003 ?

  Hello I have VS2003 + VS2005 + TFS. The VS2003 was connected to microsoft source control until reconnected to TFS with the help of the mssccoi provider. Today , I've removed the old VSS and rebooted my system. When I tried to open a solution(conected to tfs) I got a message that the solution is under some kind of source control but no provider is available. Checked in the installed applications and the provider was there. I had to remove and reinstall the provider and reconnect the project to the tfs ad now it works fine. Avi Hello, my strong guess is that when you removed old VSS, ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• .NET Development Multiple FTP commands via one connection

  Another FTP question.  :) What's the best way to use the 2.0 Framework to send multiple FTP commands during one connection The FtpWebRequest class seems to make a separate connection for each command.  I'd like to connect/login once, send two or more FTP commands, receive the response to each, then disconnect.  Karen   mahjayar wrote: For that request where you want to close it you can set the keepalive to false Did that work for you Just tried a test, and I believe it did work! After the first command, issued with KeepAlive true, the response object's ExitMessage was blank.& ...Show All

• SQL Server Exceeding 1 physical CPU with SQL Server Express

  What happens if I put this on a machine with more than 1 physical CPU (I know cores aren't an issue). I assume it will run and I can do this, but it'll only schedule threads to 1 CPU and it's cores (like a kind of throttle). this is what Oracle is doing from what I understand. ...Show All

• Visual C++ This is kind of a newbie question but i am stuck

  this is my simple hello world program #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello World" ; } The prgram runs in the black command prompt window thing but it flashes on the screen for only a second and closes.  Normally, after it runs, the widow should stay open and display "Press any key to continue..."  HELP!! Unlike the common IDE C++ Compiler, Visual C++ 6.0 and all of the .NET halt at the end of running the program.  You could also execute the program through MS-DOS and it would still show everything.  That said, there really isn't ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Status and Wildcard search in Visual Studio Team System

  Does the new source control in Team System (using SQL server as the repository) have the Status search and Wildcard search like the old VSS had under View -> Search     I need to determine if anything is checked out in a particular tree (and if so, what, and by whom).   I used to be able to do this with the Status search in VSS but I can’t seem to find it in Visual Studio Team System.   :( To get exactly what you are after, you are going to have to use the command line for v1.  If you bring up a Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt, you can run "tf status someDir /r /use ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animating a leg

  hi all, I'm trying to create a simple animation of a leg. The leg would be made out of two parts and each part would be a mesh (could be just Mesh.Cylinder). I know how this should work in principle but when I have to calculate the matrices all goes wrong... Here's my idea: Given the angles of rotation for both parts rotate and position the upper part (which will maybe be someday connected to a torso) then rotate the lower part and connect it to the first one... Could someone give me a simple example of how to correctly multiply the matrices in order to achieve the desired result thank you, sa o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "This type of page is not served" on all ASP viewed in browser with VS2005Beta

  I don't know if it's a know problem or not. I get a " This type of page is not served"  on each attempt to view any ASP page in the browser with the local host. I haven't yet installed ISS, and don't know if that might be part of the issue.
