• Visual C++ F5 won't check configuration and offer to recomplile. How to turn it on?

    I'm having a problem with hitting F5 to start a debug session on one of my machines.  On every other machine I use, it checks whether I've modified any files and then asks if I would like to recompile.  But on this one machine, it doesn't ask.  It just starts the debug session.  Is there a way to make it compile and then debug   This is happened to me over the years but it's mysterously started working properly again eventually.  I just tried uninstalling, including deleting the directory, and reinstalling.  Nothing.  I'm guessing it's in some registry setting. Anyone know how to "fix" thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ProtocolException

  Hi i'm getting an exception running a simple ping service that i have developed that i cannot understand.

I'm using Visual Studio .net 2005 Beta 2 and the September CTP of Indigo, and the exception is : System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException was unhandled Message="The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8).&qu ...Show All

• Visual C++ lnk 2019 error

  hey guys, i was wrapping a native dll inside a managed c++ dll. i was compiling to test how i was going, and it got a weird lnk error. it is the following: error lnk2019 : unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _mainCRTStartup. so how am i suppose to solve this issue imusing the VS 2003. thx and the way i experienced until now, in order to load or make an object from native dll in managed C++, u have to put __nogc before the managed class that will wrap the native, right but by putting __nogc this also means that the class isnt managed, so C# not seeing its contents might be abit obviou ...Show All

• Visual C++ Thread Termination

  Is there any way to easily instruct windows to wait for a given thread to complete upon exit of the process in which it was created, other than explicitly calling a function such as WaitForSingleObject at the end of execution As an example, if I create a thread in order to run an asynchronous function, such as one which performs a large calculation and stores the result to a file, logically it should continue to execute until it is finished even though main of the process in which it was created may return during the middle of the operation. I would think that such behavior would be commonly desired, and even prefered by default, yet I am no ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question on Registering VB 2005 Express Edition

  I realize that this is probable not the correct forum for this question, but perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I recently downloaded VB 2005 Express Edition and have been unable to register it.  I get to the point in the registration process where Micro Soft is to send me and e-mail message for e-mail address confirmation, and I never receive the message.

• .NET Development form is lost

  Hi. I am trying to do simple graphics here using 2 forms: 1 main form which executes form 2 (graphics) in a seperate thread. form 2 on load basically has a for loop and in it will increase the opaticy of the form by 0.01 to give a fade in effect however once this is shown, the form is then lost! if i do not put this in a seperate thread created in the application it's fine, the form is there. but since this type of graphic "freezes" the previous form, i prefer to use threading to avoid not freezing the main form. any ideas I am guessing its because once the operation is complete in the thread method, that's it quit the thread. but there must ...Show All
