• Visual Studio Express Editions Linking Error: it wants libboost_regex-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib but boost installed boost_regex-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib

  Hello, The subject pretty much says it all... here is the error from the builder: Linking...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Control hosted in IE and using WCF

  If I host a custom user control in IE, can I use it as a WCF client for implementing a duplex contract, or are there code access security issues (or, any other issues) that will prevent its proper functioning in a browser on the client side I mean, with .NET Remoting, the code should have FullTrust permissions. But what about WCF code Another related question: would it be a good idea to use an ActiveX control instead Thank you. Thank you for your post. WCF v1 requires full trust. So, you will need to run in a fully trusted host. We're investigating adding partial trust support in a future release. Doug has a bit more in ...Show All

• .NET Development Orphaned Windows Services

  Hello, Lately I have been developing Windows Services using the System.ServiceProcess namespace. I have a script that does a reinstall of the service after a build so I don't have to do it manually. A couple of times now I have changed the name of the service, rebuilt the solution, and then run my reinstall script. Unfortunately, in this case, the name of the service will not match the old name, so no uninstall will occur, but the service with the new name will install correctly. So now I have an "ophaned" Windows Service that I have no way to uninstall, because the EXE I used to install it is effectively gone. How can I get rid of ...Show All

• .NET Development Customize the "error report" send by a crashing application

  When the .Net application crashes, a dialog box appears and proposes to send a report to Microsoft. Is it possible to customize the behavior of this dialog box to send the error report to an other server Thanks in advance, Joannes There is no way within your application to specify a different server for error reports. However, there are a couple of ways to obtain your error reports, depending on your scenario. If you're an ISV, you can obtain error reports for your application via http://winqual.microsoft.com (see the links under "Windows Error Reporting"). Currently that site has only partial support for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Code Editor: Text Input Lag

  Hello! I'm experiencing a terrible problem that renders Visual C++ 2005 Express (Final Version) almost completely unusable. I'm having the same problem on multiple completely independent computers and it happens quite frequently, so i can't believe it's a random problem that never occured to anyone except me. It happens when I switch back and forth between code files in a regular C++ project. Sometimes, after switching to a file that was already open, i can no longer type or select code in a regular fashion. When I type some code, it appears in the editor window after a significant delay (usually a couple of se ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler behavior question

  Hi, Can someone explain to me why I get "error C2228: left of '.foo' must have class/struct/union" when I try to compile the following piece of code in VC++ 2005 Express Edition struct B { B (char *) { } B (const B &) { } }; struct C : B { C (B b) : B(b) { } char * foo() { C s ( B (foo()) ); return s.foo(); } }; Looks like the compiler considers "C s ( B (foo()) );" as a function declaration. Is that normal Thanks! Yes: strange as it may seem this is the declaration ambiguity in C++ in action. The easiest way around this is to change code to: C s ...Show All

• .NET Development Clarification

      Hi, I try to do a wildcard string search into a DataGrid and I need an event handler (in my opinion) for an insert/delete row/column event to loosen/restrict the search space (rows x cols).     It's important that the type of data source indicated by DataGrid's DataSource property can be DataTable, DataSet, DataView, DataViewManager, or derivates.     I hope somebody will enlighten me.     Thanks     I want to know after an update of the data source the no of all rows and columns of the grid independently of the data source's typ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development InputPanel ObjectDisposedException & multiple forms

  Using CF2 and VS2005. Problem here.  I have an InputPanel object in both Form A and Form B.  They both register the EnableChanged event to move the tabcontrol size.  After opening Form A, closing it, then going  to Form B, the event is sent to Form A (which is already disposed and had GC.Collect() called) and a ObjectDisposedException is raised on a ClientRectangle object.  What would cause FormA object to still exist inthe first place All that is happening is databinding.  I have checked my code for possible references that might keep the form A object alive and found nothing.  I am concerned now becaus ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic and Visual c++ install doesnt work!!!!

  Recently i have tried to install visual basic and visual c++ setup but about 5-10 mins into the setup/download it says "this program has encountered an error and needs to close, please tell micosoft about this problem" and gives me a send report option. i sent the report but there has been no difference in the program and i still cant install it, it is all because of the microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 beta download, wich is where it says the problem is.

• Smart Device Development Numeric Up Down Select All On Focus

  Ok, I've managed to use API calls to select all text in a numericupdown control, and this works... however, When I override OnGotFocus via: protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e) { SelectAll(); } All text is selected with the select all statement, and as this function exits, the text is unselected. What am I missing as far as numericupdown behavior goes Thanks! That brought me to a very good idea that would save you/me a lot of trouble with the click event handling. Is it possible in .net to delete the Windows Click Message from the message queue If so, you wouldn't need to worry about the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless merge ?

  I've been told a couple of times to workaround problems with branching via a Baseless Merge.  Now I'm pretty sure I can guess what this does based on the name, but I can't find any way to accomplish this through the VS2005 UI. I've read all the docs I can find and I've searched google and all I've come up with is the command line option to do "h.exe merge /baseless" from MSDN and the reference from Buck's blog. The description in the docs being : /baseless - "Performs a merge in the absence of a basis version" Am I missing something in the UI or is it just not in there yet Not all of the command-line ...Show All
