  I'm trying to port a large app written for the ARMV4 processor that was originally developed using embedded VC++ 4.0 to Visual Studio 5.0.  Our app uses CCeDBDatabase and related classes such as CCeDBRecord and CCeDBProp, and although Microsoft's "Migrating Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ Projects to Visual Studio 2005"  web site ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/migrating_evc_vs2005.asp ) doesn't explicitly list these classes as having been dropped from MFC 3.0, it does not appear that they are supported.  Has anyone out there had experience porting embedded VC++ code that uses the ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet serialization problem through remoting (VS2005 release)

  Hello, I have a problem with a client/server application using remoting (TCP channel on the same host) and DataSet. The server loads successfully an xml file using a typed DataSet (built by xml schema designer and MSDataSetGenerator), it also writes data back to the xml file without any problem. Everything seems to work fine on the server side. But, when the client tries to get the DataSet via remoting I get an exception: -  $exception {System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.DataException: Invalid 'Key' node inside constraint named ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to open an external file / resource.

  How do you make a button or link open an external file or other resource Like HTML links: you click one, and it opens a file. Definitely. But make sure that, if you are trying to run an external program and you're specifying a path on the local system, you'll have to use forward slashes / instead of backslashes \ to separate the folders. In other words: C:\wherever\whatever\program.exe - won't work, but C:/wherever/whatever/program.exe - WILL work. This one baffled me until I experiemented a little. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to write a sub for several checkboxes at once

• .NET Development csc user rights

  What user rights does csc (the c# compiler) require in order for it to run properly (create files) I know, silly Q. But I am trying to do something for a lecturer of mine. Basically he has (dont know why) apache service. He is making an online editor where the learner types in C# code, when "submitted" it will compile it and run the code. Thing is, he obviously does not want the user account to be under admin or power users. The csc shows a "Could not create file" type error when running under a local account which is a member of vs debuggers and users as well as aspnet. If we give the user account power users group - it compiles fine and ...Show All
