• Visual Studio Using Properties and Call like NAnt

  NAnt has a nice feature where you can use a combination of properties and the call task to repeat operations. For example: <target name="target_one"> <property name="A" value="Value1" /> <property name="B" value="Value2" /> <property name="C" value="Value3" /> <call target="ALongProcessWithManySteps" /> </target> <target name="target_two"> <property name="A" value="Value4" /> <property name="B" value="Value5" /> <property name="C" value="Value6" /> <call target="ALongProcessWithManySteps" /> </target> The target ALongProcessWithManySteps would then use ...Show All

• Visual C++ Calls to Form from outside

  Hi, Could someone please tell me how I would go about setting a value in a windows form from the "outside". For example, if I want to use some function that is outside of the form, do some processing, and then display the result in the form. I do not want to call the function within the form code. Many thanks in advance! Ljubica Hi, if you want to set a property in the form you can do something like this in the form: public: property bool Running { bool get() { return m_running; } void set(bool value) { m_running = value; } } and then in your other function do: form->R ...Show All

But a better design would be to normalize the data and store each issue as a sep ...Show All

• SQL Server Triggers and Stored Procedures

  Help, I have a stored procedure that creates a table, but I also need to have the stored procedure create a trigger on the table. What is the best way to do this Regards, Sean Gahan <nitpick>Well, I have to say that the best way to do this is probably to not do it, though since I don't know what you are doing exactly, I cannot really say. It is usually a bad idea to build tables on the fly, and if it is a permanent table with a trigger, that is even worse. But I digress...</nitpick> Are you doing this as the dbo If so just use dynamic SQL: declare @query varchar ...Show All

• Visual C++ Invoke Intel C++ compiler from VS2005 Pro

  I need to compile the Release configuration of DVDx (SourceForge) from VS2005Pro with teh Intel C++ compiler (either 8 or 9 version). The Intel C++ 9 installer is supposed to proceed VS .Net 2003 integration which doesn't work for VS2005. How can I do this integration manually In the latest Intel C++ 9.0.029 a Readme file says that VS2005 will be supported when officially released by Microsoft. So I guess the support should be added soon in a new build from Intel. For now, I reinstalled MS VC++ 6.0 which is supported by Intel 9. I had to hack the dsound.h in DX9 SDK 12/2005 to add (line #301) ...Show All
