• Visual C++ A few compiling questions.

  Hello, I am using visual c++ 2005 (8.0), I am wondering is it possible to open a .c or .cpp file with the IDE and build/compile it without having to create solutions/project workspaces yourself I remember in v6.0 you could just choose to build, and it would create the workspaces for you. Also I would just like to make sure I am creating unmanaged applications correctly, is it File -> New -> Project -> Win32 (from the Visual C++ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbie question regarding declaring "variable" variables...

  Ok, so what I'm trying to do may be impossible, but hopefully not. Right now, this is what's in my head: I have a listbox that starts off empty. The user inputs an item and a quantity, such as Apples and 12. The 12 gets fed into a variable, such as qty_apples. Then, it updates the listbox and adds "Apples = " & qty_apples (which gives Apples = 12) Now the tricky part. The user might then enter another number for apples, so now they might p ...Show All

• Visual C++ App Freezes For About A Minute When I Edit Header Files

  Greetings! We have a 300,000 line C application that I've been building for 11 years through multiple versions of Visual C / Visual Studio. We keep most of our constants in one file called "constants.h". When I go to the edit this file, the newest VS ("VS 2005") will often freeze. I believe it is busy recalculating "browse" information on the fly. That is, if I change the value of a '#define', it seems to be recalculating all these values ...Show All

• Visual Basic MDI Children not staying Maximized in Parent

• Visual C++ ada conversion help

  I'm currently working on a program developed in Ada, that is being rewritten in C++. I've run into a few stumbling blocks so far and hope someone here can help out. 1. Our Ada code uses multiple subtypes with explicit ranges specified. So far it doesn't appear that C++ supports any type of range limits. At least the typedef statement doesn't. Is there anyway to do this without using a templated class 2. Multithreading. Ada does it very si ...Show All

• .NET Development Storing/Retrieving Various File Formats in DB Application

  Hi, I hope someone can point me to the right direction. The application I am working on is a database program where I use SQL Server 2005 and multiple Windows Forms based clients that connect to it to store/retrieve data. The data includes attachments (same as email, any kind of file(s)). From other posts, I can see that, overall, saving the files on a disk and the links to the files on SQL Server is a better approach. My trouble is wit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office 1 Add-In uses .net 1.1, a second uses .net 2.0

  Hello; I just created a simple Add-In using VS 2003. I also have VS 2005 & .net 2.0 (release) installed on my computer. The .net 1.1 Add-In would only run if I created a winword.exe.config file setting the runtime to .net 1.1. Without that Word would exit during it's startup (no message, no crash - just exit). With the config it runs fine. So, what if someone wants to run two Add-Ins with Word, one built under .net 1.1 and one built under .n ...Show All

• Visual C++ CString char/wchar_t conflict

  I'm encountering a strange issue that I have not seen before. I recently built a new MFC app with VS .Net 2003. I am using the MBCS character set - e.g. UNICODE is not defined. The problem is that when I step into CString code down into the CSimpleStringT level, in atlsimpstr.h, it thinks it has wchar_t traits. However in the CStringT code (in cstringt.h), it thinks it has char traits. So, for example, I step into CStringT::Left() and see char t ...Show All
