• Visual C++ Linker error: Unresolved token _CrtDbgReportW using MSVC++ 2005 Express Edition Beta 2

  Hello. I'm trying to transition a VC++ .NET project that uses the STL from VS.NET 2003 to the VS.NET 2005 Express Edition Beta 2. I've installed the MS Platform SDK and made sure to include the SDK libraries into my project's dependencies. I also added msvcmrt.lib to resolve some linker errors (I found the corresponding hint using Google). The linker still produces LNK2028 unresolved token errors, however, for: "int __cdecl _CrtDbgReportW(int,wchar_t const *,int,wchar_t const *,wchar_t const *,...)" ( _CrtDbgReportW@@$$J0YAHHPB_WH00ZZ) referenced in function "public: struct gcroot<struct MyType ^> & __thiscall std::vector<str ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Release on MSDN Subscriber Downloads (Universal)

  Hello everybody, Today Visual Studio 2005 Professional was released on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. We were unable to find the Team Suite Release. Any help Best regards Ralf Rottmann Word on the newsgroups is that your transition options are limited by your partner level. I've heard variously that - Gold partners get Team Developer, no role choice, no upgrade - Standard partners get Professional only, no Team System at all - Gold partners with a competency (possibly only ISV) get Team Suite - Standard partners with a competency (possibly only ISV) get Team Developer If you ask me, this is unacceptable s ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grids are readOnly. How do I put text in them?

  Hi there. Kind of embarrassing asking simple question when other people post such advanced requests. I am new here. I got as far as creating a form with two grids and other controls I need. There is a Pageframe that switches between pages and I have each grid on the corresponding page. All the way I am making comparisons with dBASE stuff which I hope soon will be a thing in the past. Anyway, when I run the form all rows in grids appear to be read only. I cannot enter any information in any columns. I want preempt a question about the tables. I did creat a database with two tables I need, made appropriate fields and indexed them. The field na ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BizTalk (2006 B2) add web-ref fails with WCF (Jan CTP)

  We have a WCF web service using BasicProfileBinding. We can Add-Web-Reference to it from a C# project for example, but when attempting the same from a BizTalk 2006 project, a dialog pops up and says "Failed to add a web reference", and there's nothing that explains why it failed. Searched the web and found someone with a simular problem who resolved it by removing some stuff from devenv.exe.config, but that fix did not work in our environment. Does anyone have info on this Thanks. Note: we can still add a web reference in the BT project if the web service is implemented with ASP.NET Web Services. Thanks for any help, -Paul ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Where is project templates?

  Hi,I've installed vwd2005 beta2 after uninstalling March preview and now I don't have any Project Templates in "New Project". What could I do with it Thanks. It's bad you don't have explicit mechanism to reset cached configuration settings-all caches must be invalidated from time to time.What you mean under "devenv" There'is no such thing in "express" editions...maybe "VWDExpress.exe /setup" Best wishes. ...Show All

• SQL Server The syntax of the SQL the DataSet Design Surface generates

  I'd like to design my dataset's in VS2005 in such a way that I develop at design-time using SQL2005, however I'll have the option of replacing the connection, sqladapter and command objects in the generated source code with another database's (like mysql, etc.) Since the schemas are identical across the different database kinds, the key here is making sure that the generated SQL is ANSI compliant.  Right off the bat the square brackets around table names cause problems.  Is there anyway to tell VS2005 to use the ANSI compliant quotes instead Thanks I am trying to find out your current email address ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing a DataGridView control from a thread that it wasn't created in???

  This is the exception I'm getting: "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'dgvLogResults' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." I'm trying to update a datagridview with new data that has been detected in a thread that is running and polling.

• Visual C++ Problems with class derived from CAxDialogImpl in VC++ 6.0

  We've got two classes that we use to resize standard CDialog-based classes and to show a resize handle in the lower right-hand corner of the dialog. These work fine when the class is derived from CDialog. However, if the class is derived from CAxDialogImpl we have problems instantiating the class that shows the resize handle. The class used to show the resize handle is called CEasyStatusBar and is derived from CStatusBarCtrl. The class has a Create() method which is the first method that classes that use the CEasyStatusBar class must invoke. The Create() takes a CWnd pointer is normally passed as the this pointer from CDialog based classe ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice on two applications talking to each other

  What is the best way to expose a local application feature to other applications I want to expose a static class over multiple applications: ApplicationA.exe consumes StaticClass ApplicationB.exe consumes StaticClass StaticClass is unique in the user machine. Should I have a .Net remoting implementation over a Windows Service or a .Net executable Should I move into AppDomains How can I do that Thanks To my understanding, there is no direct way to share a managed assembly between applications - which is the desired behavior of "StaticClass". Unmanaged is a different animal and unless explicitly as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Automatic build problem with /Bin folders

  We have a solution with three web sites projects and three libraries projects referenced by webapps. We have problems with /bin folders because the libraries are check-out exclusively by the first developer who compiled. For this issue we used some recommended workarounds (cloaking /bin folder).
