  Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for quite some time now and i think i deserve a bit of help ! I got this C++ tool that calls a C# service. To communicate together i got an IDL with defined structures in it THAT I CANNOT CHANGE. This is a problem because i can't tell the compiler the layout information about how to marchal each parameter. Anyways, let's continue. This is the structure in IDL: typedef struct {     DWORD   id;     DWORD   nDetailLevel;     BYTE    descr[ 256 ]; } TRACE_INFO; As i said, i cant play with this. The C++ to ...Show All

• Visual Studio CMDUSED_SECTION and shared commands

  By default in the IDE, F8 is bound to the command Edit.GotoNextLocation ( guidVSStd97:cmdidNextLocation) .  This command works in the both the Output and Find Results windows. I would like my tool window to respond to Edit.GotoNextLocation.  Is this just a matter of setting up my ctc file correctly or does the toolwindow also need to implement a particular interface (other than IVsWindowPane and IOleCommandTarget) Yep that was it Sean. I was just preparing a post, but I see you've figured it out. Regards, Aaron Marten ...Show All

• SQL Server Error 1 Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

  The Error 1 Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. STRIKES BACK! I have had two other postings in the past few weeks on the error in various forms that state: 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. This error had apeared on trying to use the migrationwizard.exe, loading /3GB, as well as after breaking the script up into smaller chunks. You name it, we have tried it (that we know of). We are now back to the error 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown once again. Additionally, I was able to build the dimensions without error and now THAT is failing with the following error: Errors and Warnings from Res ...Show All

  Is there any documentation on what will be accessible and the list of features that will be supported via a web browser other than the WSS Project Site Thanks, Michael. At this point, I'm not sure what's documented with regard to web pages with Team Foundation.  You can view work items and changesets in a browser.  You can see that if you sign up for alert emails (Team -> Alerts or Team -> Settings -> Alerts, I don't remember the exact path off the top of my head).  There will not be a full-blown web browser interface to work item tracking in the v1 release.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SelectNextSegment()

  Hi, I call DataContext.ExecuteQuery<T>("SELECT TOP 20 * FROM CertainTable") in the enclosed code. Depending on the table queried, an exception is raised. It appears that when the ExecResults<T> are enumerated in a foreach loop the first object returned is null. In Northwind, Orders, Territories, and EmployeeTerritories always raise an exception. All other tables in Northwind do not raise exceptions. AdventureWorks exhibits the same behavior. Consistently, only certain tables will raise exceptions. Perhaps it was something with my generated DataContext, but queries to the Orders table, Territories table and Employe ...Show All
