• Visual Basic Making a Database

  Hi i was wondering if there are any tutorials around on creating databases in vb6 and vb.net If you have Visual Studio 2005 Standard or above (Maybe even Express ) you can simple add a SQL Server 2005 DB to your project. You can do a lot of fundamental DB creation tasks in the Sever Explorer (ignor the Dataset Creation wizard until you finish creating the DB). VS has integrated functionality for creating tables and modifying columns and restraints and relations and my personal favorite: Creating Stored Procedures (and testing this stuff all out with the query editor). If you have Express you might still be able to do it but I can't pers ...Show All

• Visual C++ Floating point stack overflow

  My application works fine in VS2003, but in VS2005, it is producing an overflow of the floating point stack.  This seems like it must be a code generation error in the new compiler.  Has anyone else experienced this problem In the particular case I am looking at, I step through the instruction FLDZ in the disassembly window.  Instead of getting a zero in ST(0), I get 1#IND, and the SF and C1 bits are set in the x87 FPU Status Word.  The first time through this code it works OK, but this second time through, the FPU tags register shows that the stack is full before the FLDZ instruction. Bug is fixed in VS2005 SP ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS Automation & Threading

  Greetings everyone, I have a windows service created to perform miscellaneous administrative tasks on sourcesafe using COMInterop through C#.  At times, there are many threads executing and performing tasks against our sourcesafe database.  My problem is that if more than one thread attempts to act against the database at a time, then I receive a "access to rights.dat denied", or the tasks slow to a painful crawl. I have tried just about everything, but have found the only way to prevent both of these from happening is to open a sourcesafe client against the database.  Once open, everything increases in speed by ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How do I play samples?

  I am unable to play the samples (included in the HD Jumpstart download) with the emulator. I've tried using both open disc and open path to launch the DAT file. When I use open disc is says unable to parse/read the DAT file. When I use open path I get no message, but the emulator screen resizes slightly and stays blank. For Open Disc you probably need to select one level up ie the directory above ADV_OBJ. For the blank screen, run DXDiag, click on "Display 1" and make sure "DirectDraw Acceleration" is enabled. If problems persist please tell us the video card youn are using. ...Show All

• .NET Development concurrency violation when editing newly added datarow
