• Visual C++ Error including queue.h

  I'm writing a program for a graduate class I'm taking and I want to use an STL queue data structure.  The app is a simulation program and the GUI is MFC. In one of the simulation classes I've developed I'm getting the following error in list.h when I include queue.h.  The code that includes queue.h is also provided after the error messages.

• .NET Development class design question

  I have my class with properties and methods. I create an instance of the class and get some of its properties in my forms. When I go back to the class and try to access that property from inside the class itself, I see that it has a NOTHING value. 1/ How do I keep the value of the property between calls and instantiations of the class when I sometimes instantiate the class from different forms in my application. 2/ What is this technique called in Microsoft Jargon. I mean when I go back to the properties and finding them again not reset to nothing 3/ What s the best way to design my class in order to keep its properties and also ...Show All

• SQL Server Weekly Sales Join

  I am having trouble trying to get the results I need from a left outer join. I have the following tables: Table1 FiscalYear (smallint) FiscalWeek (tinyint) Table2 FiscalYear (smallint) FiscalWeek (tinyint) Store (integer) Sales (money) Table1 has a row for every week in the year, so 52 rows for FY 2005 with the week ranging from 1 to 52. Table 2 has sales entries for each store per week. However, not every store has an entry for each week as they may not have been open. What I am trying to do is get a result set that has 52 rows for each store containing ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Server into a named Instance of SQL Server 2005

  We are setting up a database server with 2 instances of SQL Server 2005. One for the default and another for Reporting Service. I have them installed but when I try to a registration from another Server for the Reporting Service Instance I can not get in. I am using the sa userid and password, the same one that works when I am on the server but I get an error that says Remote Server connections may not be allowed. When I go to properties the Allow remote connections box is checked.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why Close a proxy?

  Hi I know that as a best practice we should call ICommunicationObject.Close after using a client channel. What are the real consequences of not calling Close/Dispose In what i understand, it depends of the binding, right, like if we're keeping a transport channel opened or not, is that correct thanks! I am using the FEB CTP. As I typed proxy. the IntelliSense selection did not contain a Close method. So I blindly followed the example and added Close(); I noticed a small box under the .Close() portion of the statement. As I moved my mouse over the box it asked if I wanted to generate the method As this is BETA I f ...Show All

• .NET Development Bitwise byte operators ?

  I have a run the simple following lines and I am very surprised by the result byte a = 1, b = 2; Console.WriteLine((a | b).GetType());   I get a System.Int32 output. Why didn't I get a byte output Performance wise, it does not change anything, and it has the advantage of making sense in terms of typing. Thanks in advance, Joannes int is the smallest signed type for which the | operator is predefined, so the arguments get promoted to ints and the result is an int.

• Visual C++ New to C++, error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "double __cdecl

• Visual Studio VS 2005 local VSS plugin erratic behavior

  Hi, Assuming I'm using the local VSS plugin in order to access a remote VSS database. I have observed this very strange behavior in VS 2005: 1. I right-click an object in the Solution Explorer and chose the History... command. 2. I accept the default options and the History window opens. 3. Now the strange thing : I do nothing and just click on the Close button. This immediately closes the current solution. VS 2005 then automatically tries to re-open the solution but as explained in the thread titled  Using VSS local plugin remotely: problem with credentials , it prompts me again for my credentials since my VSS credentials are not ident ...Show All

• Visual Basic Creating totals from imported data

  Hi, I have an access database linked to a data control and the relevant record source(s) called via SQL. Currently the data is output to a picture box and is selectable by date. What I am looking for is to select a range of items (all sales on the same date, all sales within a range of dates, that of monday through sundays date and also monthly) and show the total amounts for printing.
