• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5 and secchk.lib

  I'm trying to add a WM5 target to my PPC2003 solution (Visual Studio 2005). I installed the SDK, added a new build type (I derived it from my PPC2003 build type), and chose the correct emulator for the target device. The problem is that even if I have /GS- in the compiler settings (disable security checks), I am still getting LNK1104 for secchk.lib. As far as I can tell, secchk.lib doesn't even exist in the WM5 SDK. I can't find any explicit references to secchk.lib anywhere in the project. Does anyone know where I went wrong, or what the solution is Ryan had emailed me offline about this through my ...Show All

• .NET Development wininet,winhttp,autoproxy

  I am working in vb.net 2003 and cannot for the forseeable future move to net 2005. I really like net and managed code until I have to work with c++ to accomplish some task like determining the proxy server address for a web service application. I realize that wininet and autoproxy routines mimic what internet explorer uses to connect to the internet. I just find it difficult to work with these c++ routines in the vb environment. This is my question. Is there not some way in managed code to ask the Internet Explorer directly what it is using for a proxy server if any Thanks, Fred You could query the registry and find the ...Show All

• .NET Development Type.BindGenericParameters() replacement?

  According to the documentation, Type.BindGenericParameters() has been deprecated. Fine. However, I don't seem to see any planned "replacement".... how are we supposed to accomplish what BindGenericParameters() did now If it's because you plan to remove the features pertaining to being able to get a Type instance for an unbound generic type and then bind them (which would seem inline with C#'s decision to not allow you to use typeof() un an unbounded generic type), I would think this is a poor choice, and it certainly constrains me as a developer (in fact, I'm asking this because I need to do this right now, and found no other way other tha ...Show All

• .NET Development Code Blocking in Web Developer 2005

  Is there a way to turn off the very annoying feature in Visual Web Developer Express 2005 that "fixes" the way I indent my code I like to indent my code for an open connection, VWD doesn't allow this, I like to indent my code for variables, VWD doesn't allow this. It's really starting to make me very very angry. For instance My code would look something like this.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What causes CommandBinding.CanExecute delegate to be invoked ?

  I have a button that executes a command when it's clicked. I have a CommandBinding instance associated to that command, and also methods to: * Allow/disallow execution * Preview execution * Handle execution All 3 are being called. It's obvious when the last 2 will be called but not the first one. Depending on a specific application state, my CanExecute method will return true or false. When the application starts it returns false which makes the button is disabled, as I expected. As the application runs, its state is changed, but the button is still disabled because it didn't call CanExecute to get the new value. What's strange is that when ...Show All
