Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Back to the 2-tier?
It seems to me that Dlinq with this nice new feature of Entity = Class is good for a Client/Server scenario only. How would it worlk in a SOA at all I admit this code looks very efficient, but only in a C/S scenario. How would delayed execution work if you're not in C/S scenario, but need to call a webservice for retrieving your data, and also a webservice for updating your data ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie: Using Opengl

Visual Studio VSS folders structure
Hi, I have an existing solution (in VS2005) containing multiple projects. The solution resides in, let's say, c:\F1\F2\F3 folder. I'm trying to add the solution to VSS (from VS) and when I'm asked to choose a location I'm selecting specific folder in the VSS tree. Let's say I have the VSS structure like this: Root::Projects::P1, and I'm hitting P1 folder. I'm expecting that the solution file will be added under P1, and all other files/folders will be placed/created correspondingly, like this: Root::Projects::P1::MySolution.sln Root::Projects::P1::FolderA <- this folder exists in the solution and so on. What I have is a dif ...Show All

Visual C# Exception calling MoveNext in MessageEnumerator on MSMQ queue
We have a line of code that goes something like: while ( messageEnum . MoveNext ( TimeSpan . FromMinutes ( 5 )) | outstandingCount > 0 ) { ... } This works fine on machines with MSMQ installed locally that are part of a Domain (and the current user is logged in as a member of that domain) However when we have the software installed on a machine with an identical MSMQ setup but which is not a mamber of a domain but part of a workgroup and the user is logged in as a user (with administrator priveleges and full control permissons on the specific queue) on that machine we get the following exception An in ...Show All
Visual C++ chekbox
how can i determinete when the check box in listview is checked or when the checkbox is get the focus and chenge on evey check in MFC There are events for all of these which you can catch and then run your own code. I believe WM_FOCUS is the event when a control gets the focus ( this is relying on old memories, don't quote me ), and I'm pretty sure there's a SetCheck method on the control you could call to check it when it gets the focus. ...Show All
.NET Development Unclosed Literal String
I have an XML with an attribute called Text="Procedures & Practices" in the XML, I replace the & with & and send it to a web service. On the web service side, when I attempt to load the xml, I get the following error: There is an unclosed literal string. line 2, position 762 Any ideas Either way this should not happen. The XML Serializer used to transmit web requests should properly encode whatever data you are trying to send. Can you provide more details The web method declaration, and the snippet of code you are using to call it and the parameter data so we can debug it. ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Fire event at predetermined time
I need to make an application that performs a task at a given time each day, based on the system time. For a simple example, lets say I want to delete all the files in a folder at 11:00 am everyday. The program would obviously be running on a computer thats always on. What is the best way to do this Do I continuously compare the current time with the target time & when they're equal fire the event This seems like a waste of cpu resources, but maybe thats the only way to do it. Can somebody post some code to get me started on this Thanks... Hi, Off the top o ...Show All
Visual C++ favor AMD64 intrinsic functions
How do I tell my compiler/linker to use the __stosq intrinsic function 32-bit assembly intrinsic functions compile, but 64-bit ones do not. Also, the compiler /favor:AMD64 is considered to be an unknown option. Is there anything I can do to enable this compiler option Are programs that use 64-bit pointers limited by default to 2GBs of memory What will happen when I generate data beyond 2GBs but do not enable the linker /largeaddressaware option Thanks Willy for the clarification. I am trying to make sure I am doing the maximum to ensure 64-bit compliance and performance. Knowing how a few compiler options interact and/or ...Show All
