• Visual C++ VC Express doesn't recognize standard string

  I created an empty console project in VC Express. #include <string> int main(int argc, char** argv) { string name("Dog"); } Compiler errors: error C2065: 'string' : undeclared identifier and other errors like missing semicolon.  Why doesn't it work  In fact I tried #include <iostream> and it doesn't recognize it either. error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier Do I have to configure the linker to recognize the standard libraries   Since the string datatype resides in the namespace std, you need to prefix every instance of string with std::. std::s ...Show All

• Visual C# Generating HTML or CHM files via XML Comments

  Is there an option in Visual Studio 2005 that allows me to export all of my XML comments into a CHM or HTML file visually similar to the online MSDN library I know that there is nDoc and DOxygen, and other third party tools (none of which work well with .NET 2.0 btw), but I would think that with VS 2005, MSoft would finally include their own way of doing something like this. Unfortunately not! VS 2005 has no such tool in any version. The problem is that I haven't managed to make NDoc work with .NET Framework 2. Have you Does DOxygen work with .NET 2 ps. If you are interested in code documentation also try GhostDoc. It ...Show All

• Visual Basic VoIP

  Hello ladies and gents! Short question with a long answer (most likely). I am working on a multiple-client instant messenging application, and I would like to put VoIP into it (Voice over IP). Do I have many weeks of headaches ahead of me or have the nice *cough* people at microsoft put something into VB.NET to make it easy for me I'm using VB.NET2003 (don't ask....) Thank you in advance. There's nothing special about voice over IP, apart from any patents being held by those that have developed compression and transmission algorithms to make it useable. It's just a stream of bytes. VoiceOver IP has been around a loooong time. You ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form corruption

  I am creating a rather small application with VB Express. I have noticed that occasionally some of the fields on the form will just go missing. Sometimes they'll randomly come back. The last time, evey single component I've dropped in the form went missing! That includes tabs, datgrids, data adaptors, buttons, everything! I didn't delete them, I've tried restarting, I've tried undoing, I've tried everything I can think of. They are still 'There', just not displayed in the designer. Until they come back, I'm stuck unless I want to start from scratch. I'm starting to get very frustrated! Any ideas Hi, ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Word Macro Runtime Error

  Hi all, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to VBA but I've been tasked with writing a macro for a Word form. The form will be linked to on a web page and has two buttons at the bottom, Accept or Decline. Basically what the boss wants to happen is that when either button is clicked the form gets attached to an email and automatically sent. At the same time a message box appears telling the applicant "thanks" and after they click "OK" on the message box he wants EVERYTHING to close. My problem is that 99% of the time the person is going to open the Word doc in IE and ActiveDocument doesn't seem to work outside of ...Show All

• Windows Forms An exception related to TreeView

  In Whidbey Beta2, If I uses TreeView in my program, a exception will thrown when the program exits : A SafeHandle or CriticalHandle of type 'IconHandle' failed to properly release the handle with value 0x00010005.

  Hello, are there any meanings or researches what comes after SOA Regards, Jens Hibbeler Jens, I can't give you a real serious answer. I'm sure something will always come next, but what the next hot architecture topics is I can't say. The funniest thing I have heard lately is that SOA is on its way out and the Web 2.0 is the thing. I find this funny because it is like comparing apples to skate boards. They aren't even in the same topic area. Good Luck Tim ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System property evaluation order

  Why is the following not working I tried moving the Import of the M icrosoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets from the top of the build file to the bottom, but it had no affect. Our environment has separate TFS and Build servers. I'm using TFSBuild.exe to kick off the build through a batch file. This article describes http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171464.aspx the order of evaluation but it isn't working.
