• Visual Studio Express Editions Working with VS6 dlls?

  Hi everyone, Let me first say that I'm a relative novice using VC++. I was given a project to write the UI for a piece of software using C++. So I've been writing a Windows application using Visual Studio Express C++. Today, I was given a dll file from another team, but I found out that they've been using VS 6.0. The sample program they gave me doesn't seem to compile (There are 30odd compile errors..). Now I don't know quite what to do. Is there a way to get standard C++ to compile on VSE In particular, the errors that I'm getting all sorta look like the following three: error C2470: 'CMixer' : looks like a function definition, but there is ...Show All

• SQL Server Inserting non-xml data into table using bulk insert and sql schema file.

  Hi, I am using the sql bulk insert (with sql schema file) to insert xml data into sql server. I have a column in the table called DataSourceId. DataSourceId is not part of the xml data. I currently set the DataSourceId by creating a default constraint on the column. Can I put the DataSourceId in the sql schema file Maybe something like this ... This fails as the attribute 'abcdef' does not exist in the xml data. <xsd:complexType> <xsd:attribute name="abcdef" default="OH" sql:field="DataSourceId"/> <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:string" sql:fie ...Show All

• .NET Development What are acceptable Data Source entries ?

  I have been trying out the 101 Samples for VB VS 2005 and have experienced a problem which my ignorance of VS2005/SQL 2005 is giving me a bad time. The Data Access sample for Reading and Writing Images to a SQL Server 2005 database has an Application Connection String setting (app.config) to attach to the MyImages.mdf file. The Data Source attribute in the Connection String is set to .\SQLExpress. However, if I leave it as this I get a Timeout error when trying to run buld and run the sample application. The data connection under Server Explorer has a red cross against it and it won't let me Modify the Connection using .\MSSQLSERVE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy/Paste bug?

  A simple problem that is causing great frustration: sometimes when I copy or cut (usually cut) a line of code, what will instead end up on the clipboard is a single line break. When I go to paste, instead of the code I expected I will get a blank line and have to hit undo until I can try the operation again. It doesn't happen all the time, but certainly enough to be a major problem. Couldn't find this on a search, so presumably it's not a widespread problem. Is there anything I can do I think you're right, cut without selection is cutting the entire line where the cursor is. The linebreak feature appears ...Show All

• Visual C++ Possible MSVS 2005 beta2 bugs

  Before I consider filing bug reports, I'd like to hear any comments on the following issues I've encountered with Beta2 during my first two days of use: 1) Break point won't work in .h files in managed project. I have a large mixed native and managed project.  Since converting to 2005, break points no longer work in .h files for managed code (the native projects are fine).  They say "The break point will not currently be hit.  No executable code is associated with this line."  The code is certainly there since I can see results on screen.  If I simply cut the code and paste it into a .cpp file, break points work fin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Running Tests in Team Build

  My TeamBuild, builds 2 solutions (one asp.net and one class library), therefore I also define two build configurations ('Debug|.NET' and 'Debug|Any CPU'). I have defined a test on each solution (a web test for the asp.net solution and a unit test for my Class Library solution). When I run these tests in team build, as well as compiling against both build configurations, it appears that both tests are run under both build configurations. Whilst the web test works under both build config's, the unit test only works under 1 - unfortunately the build log doesn't say config is being used to run the tests. The error mesasge also says that the unit ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying database columns that are only known at runtime

  Does each column that you want to retrieve from the database have to be known at compile time Suppose that you let your customer create custom columns in the database for some tables. Is it possible to load them into your entity class (in a dictionary for example) The full list of available columns would only be known at run time, not at compile time. I don't see a solution for this scenario at the moment. I know it would be more difficult to work with these values, but now you can't do it at all. You could use ADO.NET for these values, but it would be ineffecient because you need an extra query. Are there any plans to make th ...Show All

• Visual C++ The New Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2

  I have Visual C++.NET Standard, and have used it to successfully build applications for quite some time, maybe a little over a year. I cannot get the Visual Studio 2005 to include .lib files necessary in my solution to compile Direct X Applications, anyone else think this is odd I hope so, I must be missing something, because the old version let me enter the directories for includes and libraries, this new one did not have that option   AND it won't let me put .lib files in the resources section... Any tips/help etc would be greatly appreciated, I have the code to my breakout game that I am trying to compile on my site:  http:// ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Web.Mail Help Please...

  Hello, I've tried searching and searching, but I've had no real luck. I'm working on sending an email via an external SMTP server (I'm trying to use Gmail.com, could this be a problem ) and then send to another email, which also happens to be a Gmail.com address. Now, before posting my code, I'd like to say, what I'm developing this for is basically a plugin for a program based on .NET 1.1, so I don't believe that System.Net.SmtpClient is an option, so therefore I'm stuck with System.Web.Mail. Try adding the SMTP server as follows: SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert( 0, " smtp.gmail.com") If that does not solve the issue then try ...Show All
