• Smart Device Development Any benefits of a DLL over an Application On Pocket PC 2003?

  Hi Guys, Are there any benefits in creating a DLL over an Application on Pocket PC 2003 I need to write a application/dll that will basically build a list of strings and at a desired time send these strings over a socket. Is an application the best way to do this or should I use a DLL Many Thanks Woody DLL can not do anything on its own, it's to be used by an application, it's a component, not final product. DLL to application is the same as a wheel to a pick up truck. You need to do something, you need an application just like you would use whole truck to move stuff. If you need to provide a component fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer Bug - Get Latest on Check-out

  I consider it a bug that Team Explorer does not fetch the latest version of a file when the client selects to check it out for edit. There should be at least an option in settings to enable/diable this. Editing out-of-date files is getting old. That's my 2 cents. DougN explains why this is the default behavior: http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2005/08/20/454140.aspx In short, silently breaking your build is a lot worse than making you click the automerge button during checkin. Given how often it's brought up on this forum, there's a decent chance we'll provide an option for VSS-style checkouts in a future version. If we did, w ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating with FormView

  FormView works fine for viewing and inserting, but I simply have not been able to get the formview control to do updating. I've tried putting single quotes around the fields, not using quotes, using @id vs @original_id, putting in update parameters, taking them out. Nothing works. Help! Here's some code that doesn't work: < form runat ="server" action =""> < asp : FormView ID ="FormView1" runat ="server" DataKeyNames ="id" DataSourceID ="AccessDataSource1"> < EditItemTemplate > < asp : linkbutton id ="Linkbutton1&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Table Column Change causing errors in Cube

  I've changed the column width a table one of my cube's dimensions is built upon. When the cube was originally created, the column was defined as char(2). I've increased its size to char(6). I've refreshed the .dsv view and it catches the changes. However, when I deploy the cube, it doesn't detect the change and processes correctly (without really doing anything). When I manually process the dimension, I get the process error: Errors in the back-end database access module. The size specified for a binding was too small, resulting in one or more column values being truncated. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature Matrix?

  While I understand the different roles Team System targets I am not sure of the feature matrix for each edition. For example does a single-user developer who does modeling, requirements, development and testing need the Team System Suite to get all that functionality   It would be a shame if that is true and would mean that many single architect/developers will have to look elsewhere for ALM tools to complete their tool set.  Is there a feature matrix available anywhere The simple answer to your question is "yes", you would need suite if you wanted the Team System features for all of that. Of course, if you are doing all ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I need to count by ascii characters. Seems tricky!

  Hey guys, I'm doing an expirement and I need to basically "count" but using a set of ascii characters. I'm having a heck of time. And using VB.NET Express. For example, in Decimal, you count 1,2,3...8,9,10. As you know, once your first character reaches 9, a new character is added, 0, to the left, and then you start over counting the 1st character such as 10,11,12...18,19,20. Each time the rightmost character reaches 9, the next one over goes up one, and if another char doesn't exists, it is created. Okay, I need to do this but instead of doing it with numbers 0 - 9, I need to do it with 93 ascii characters! Ranging from chr ...Show All

• Visual C++ STL for Managed C++

  Is anyone interested in porting stl for Managed C++. I know that Dinkumware is coming up with STL.NET but its meant for specifically VS.NET2005. But my application is already written in VC++ 7.0 and I am not ready to port it "again" to VS.NET 2005. The wrapper uses a gcroot handle. My main intention of using a wrapper is to provide something for operator & which is private to gcroot. This would allow me to use containers like Boost Muti-Index which might require the address of the entitiy which is added to the collection. --P ...Show All
