• Visual C++ read struct from file

  this is a beginner programmer questions, at least i think so. CFile::Read( void* lpBuf ,UINT nCount) i can pass a struct (first param) and the length of that struct (second param) and then i will have a populated struct. How can i do the same thing with a managed c++ function The size of an int is 2, size of a double is 8, and a long is 4, how can i adjust my struct that i am reading in to account for this offset You can just use CFile in managed C++, although I would suggest you should use fstreams instead. I would be more inclined to write the different parts of the struct explicitly though, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Type definitions overwritten every night

  A small problem has come to light. I successfully exported and modified the Task.xml and Bug.xml type definitions. I then imported the changed template successfully. Subsequent changes to the templates were made and imported via witimport.exe. Any changes I made were reflected in any new bug or task added to the test project. We already had an existing project up and running, setup with the original basic MSFAgile template. When it came to use the new templates everything went well. Import was successful, no errors, and test work items could be created and pushed through the new process. However (there's always at least one "however") a p ...Show All

• Visual Basic What happend to Right & Left

  Hi everyone I just tried to manipulate some strings in VB.Net, but what happend to Left() and Right() and of course Mid(). It seems that these functions are gone, but which one can I use Or is there now a totaly diffrent concept behind i Thanks for some advices. . It seems that stringmanipulation is always a main topic.

• Visual C# Why does Visual Studio 2005 starts to consume 100% of my CPU?

  Hello, Sometimes Visual Studio 2005 starts to consume 100% of my CPU. I've tried see if it is when I'm doing something specific, but I cannot put my finger on what it is that might trigger it. It is my first solution in VS 2005, so I have no clue if it's specific to this C# solution. I have a Windows Forms project and a Webservice project in my solution, all connected to a SourceSafe 6 database. This far I've always been editing the Windows Forms project when the CPU consumption has kicked in. I don't even have to build or run the solution for this to happen. If I close VS 2005 and open it again everything will be normal, ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies PST

  I have thousands of Mails archived in PST files. Is there a possibiltiy to search also these mails Yes, but open up outlook and then open up at least the top level folder in each .PST file. It seems like the indexer doesn't recognize it until it is opened in Outlook, (perhaps a FileWatcher thing rather than a Sessions.Folder quiz, dunno.) You can check it has found them by using the 'Indexing Status' window, i.e. when I first went back and clicked on a seldom used old PST my 'Items left to scan:' jumped up by a few thousand - a good sign it's found the content to index. ...Show All

• Visual C# Regarding ToolStrip's movement in RunTime.
