• Visual C++ Project options

  I'm looking to build an application using C++ in Visual Studio 2005 and I see that I have several options for project types. I'm looking to build a forms application and my choices seem to be CLR, ATL, MFC, or Win32. It's nice to have choices and all, but what's the difference My main criteria is that I do not want to require users to have the .NET framework. Beyond that I would prefer that the program runs as a single executable without the need for any external dll's, and I'd like it to be as small as possible. I've just about finished my application starting from a CLR Windows Forms Application project but I've hit a snag tr ...Show All

• SQL Server Simulate ROW_NUMBER () in SQL 2000

  I would like to generate an incrementing column value to each row found in a query in SQL Server 2000.  My understanding of SQL Server 2005 is that you can accomplish this approximately along these lines:    insert into MyList (myNo, lName)    select ROW_NUMBER() myNo, lName    from Employee    select * from MyList    order by myNo    myNo         lName    -----         ------    1           ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems running reports

  I think I've got TFS running pretty well with the exception of this one bug. I just installed Beta 3 and when I try to run a TFS report (Bug Rates for example) from VS2005 on my local machine it says, "Report is being generated" then... An error occurred during rendering of the report. (rrRenderingError) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors If I try to run the report on the TFS server from the SharePoint portal web interface, i get this error:  occurred during rendering of the report.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Fixing after submission?

  Hi, I was just wondering how strictly the "do not change after submission"-rule will be enforced.. Are you allowed to do minor bugfixing if people report them Thank you, TB Hi.  If you need to do minor bugfixing that's fine.  You only need to re-submit if the framework of the Activity has changed.  Framework changes include changing the purpose of the app or the underlying code allowing users to execute the functionality of the application; for example, the algorithms used to create the logic for the checkers game, or for a billing system. ...Show All

• Windows Forms OptimizedDoubleBuffer

  I heard somewhere that by setting ControlStyle.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, you automatically have ControlStyle.UserPaint and ControlStyle.AllPaintingInWmPaint set as well. Is this true The API is unfortunate, but it is a ControlStyle which affects a minority of users. Typically, we'd suggest Control.DoubleBuffered. Marking Obsolete is akin to ripping it - we generate build warnings for every project where it's being used. It's just plain too late for the change and we'll have to rely on the docs to explain i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cecil project from Mono : better than Linq ?

  Hello, Will the Linq team include the Cecil functionnalities It is so much more powerful than Linq. Basically every code is accessible as an expression, visitable, and modifiable at runtime. This links to my former proposal of being able to publish a select subset of variabl es then expresses iself as a subset of Cecil. Apparently Cecil is being used in db4o, an object database, which by the way, has what they call "native queries" which surprisingly ressemble DLinq queries :) Nicolas Rolland Hi Nicholas, I was just looking at Cecil myself recently, and to be honest, Cecil is nothing l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What books to get

  I have looked at the local book store for books on programming. There seems to be a selection of books on VB6 and also on VB.Net. Which would be a better choice for me to get in order to learn the Express edition Any major differences I should know about when reading one of those that I need to keep in mind when I'm applying it to VB Express Thanks! Whatever book(s) you get, get those that cover VB2005. The other versions, won't help you with VB2005. There are a lot of new books for VB2005 and even some that include a copy of VB2005 Express Edition. I haven't used but one book on VB2005 and that was Introdu ...Show All

• Visual C# Overlaying Class Instances?

  Hi guys, I've written a Su Doku solver in C#, and the current solution uses three classes: A Grid class, which contains a 3x3 array of a Subgrid class, which itself contains a 3x3 array of a Square class. When performing row or column based manipulations, the index calculations for a row to get the related Subgrids and Squares are long-winded and look a bit messy. What I was wondering is, is it possible to create instances of different classes, that all operate on the same underlying data Could I have a Grid class that contained a 9x9 array of Square instances, for performing grid-type operations, and then Row, Column and Subgrid c ...Show All
