• Smart Device Development Custom stack pointer

  Hello, I'm trying to port an application that implements its own thread scheduling. It calls malloc to allocate a block of memory then it changes sp to point to the end of the block. The Pocket PC 2003 emulator stops on the instruction that changes the sp register. A message box is displayed "No symbols loaded for any stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed" then the program stops. Is it a restriction of the OS or the debugger Can any pointer be used as a stack pointer under Windows CE  Thanks for your help. It's for a sort of virtual machine. Actually I'm only using the v ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading text from a file

  Hi, I am trying to read a text file and pull out each line from the file in a do...loop procedure. According to the help file, i should use stream reader, however i can't seem to get this to work.  Using this, instead of reading a line and waiting, every time i hover over the variable, it changes, so it seems that is is constantly moving on and on. My text file is just a simple list.... TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 I have corresponding folders created within a subfolder on my C: drive, and what I am trying to achieve is a movedirectory command which will read the first line, and move that folder, move to the next line and move that folder and so o ...Show All

• SQL Server Winforms ReportViewer printing error

  Hello, I've used the Winforms ReportViewer control to display and print reports. Displaying reports and saving them in the different formats works well, but when I want to print a Report I get a Win32Exception which says something like "The System could not find the specified File" (translated from German, so it may vary a bit from the original english version). To get the original error message open the Errorlookup Tool(shipped with vs2003, didn't find it with VS2005 anymore though) and search for error number "2" (which is set in the Win32Exception). Below you find the Stacktrace, maybe it'll help. After some t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change Font size for MessageBox.Show dialogs?

  Hello, Is there a way to increase the Font size of the MessageBox.Show() dialog boxes Can this be done without creating a new custom Form from scratch It seems like such a simple thing, but I can't see any obvious way to do this. Any suggestions Thank you in advance. MessageBox.Show simply wraps a Win32 function, MessageBox. Here is the P/Invoke signature for Win32 MessageBox[1]: [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] public static extern int MessageBox(IntPtr hWnd, String text, String caption, uint type); As you see, you can specify owning window, text, caption, and type, respectively, but you cannot specify font size.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity Properties and Conditions

  We have created a Login activity. It currently has two properties, AllowedAttempts and Authenticated . AllowedAttempts is like any other property, but the Authenticated  property should be read-only and its value should only be changed inside the activity as part of the activity execution. What is the proper way to implement this After adding the property through the designer, I could go into code and remove the property Setter. But since the property is read-only and not meant to be modified by the workflow, I should remove the dependancy property definition as well right If I'm correct, this should be a simple C# property w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UDP & RTP Filter Lacking In DirectShow

  Fellow C++ Developers, =)   At the moment, I’m in the progress of creating a Mpeg-2 player in Microsoft Visual C++ with the use of DirectShow v9.0. The Mpeg2 player works as expected when playing Mpeg2 video files off the local machine. However, my goal is to display a live and continuous stream of Mpeg2 data.   So what about this Mpeg-2 stream The Mpeg-2 stream is coming over a network through either UDP or UDP with RTP. Thus, I have 2 protocols I may choose from: stream encapsulation (UDP) or stream encapsulation (RTP/UDP). What creates this video stream is a dedicated Mpeg-2 encoder device that will transmit Mp ...Show All

• SQL Server Where are the SSI files saved when saved to the server?

  This is a pretty simple question, but I'm going nuts trying to find the answer. After creating an SSI package, I told it to save to the SQL server... Now where do I go to pull that package up again and make changes and/or execute the package msdb .. sysdtspackages90 is the actual table that stores the package. To edit a package you use Visual Studio (aka BIDS), not SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). You can work with the original file, or if you don't have that for whatever reason you need to export the package from SSMS, to a file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VC 2005 does not copy files when publishing a web site

  I have recently converted a .net 1.1 web application to .net 2.0. The conversion went very well. I was very pleased with the wizard. The application runs well from inside the development environment. Problem is when I try and publish the web site... no files ever get copied to the output directory. Any ideas would be appreciated Bill I'm assuming you are using "Publish Web" to publish a web site. This will pre-compile and publish your web site to a server. You have a few options you can use, such as setting whether your aspx and ascx pages are editable or whether to use fixed naming or not. ...Show All
