• Visual C++ [VC 7.1] Buggy compiler behaviour with dllexport and const members

  Hi all, when I __declspec(dllexport) a class with a const member (std::auto_ptr in my case), the compiler inadvertently tries to generate a copy constructor, which obviously doesn't work and generates compiler error C2558.  Please see the following code sample: #include <memory> #include < string > #include <iostream> #pragma warning (disable: 4251) # if defined(_USRDLL) # define EXPORT __declspec(dllexport) # else # define EXPORT # endif class A {     std:: string *m_pS; public :     A()     : m_pS( new std:: string ("foobar"))     {    & ...Show All

• .NET Development Is it a good idea to throw exceptions in constructors?

  Hello, Are there any pitfalls involved with throwing exceptions in constructors I use C# and VS2005. Many thanks, Ben I am currently experimenting with the using statement and throwing exceptions in a constructor and think the given answer is not fully correct. - class defintion above is not the way it should be done: finalizer/destructor missing - description not complete: if exception is thrown in constructor and object is in using list then the following appears to happen: using statement terminates before entering {} all objects created before exception occurred (in using list) are correct ...Show All

• Visual C# turn this algorithm into code...help please

  The following algorithm is for checking a person's birth date / birth number combination (an equivalent to social security number). The birth date / birth number combination consists of a 10 digit number, YYMMDDNNNN, for example 7401204933. To decide if this number is correct, you multiply each digit alternatively with 2 and 1, starting with 2. Next, you add the results together. Finally, you have to be able to evenly divide the sum by 10, for the number to be correct. For example, checking the number 7401204933 would look like this: 7 * 2 = 14 ---> 1 + 4 4 * 1 = 4 ---> 4 0 * 2 = 0 ---> 0 1 * 1 = 1 ---> 1 2 * 2 = 4 ---&g ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 July CTP under Virtual PC - shortcutCLTDbg32.txt can't be read

  I've been trying to install the July CTP of VS2005 Professional under Virtual PC SP1  which is running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and it invariably fails towards the end of the main install trying to read D:\VS\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\GuiDebug\shortcutCLRDbg32.txt telling me the file was not found and offering me the choice of Retry (which loops failing with the same message) or Cancel (which does a rollback).

• Visual Studio Team System Manage Change request & symbol using in visio file !

  I can see you have Establish Product Integration Procedures, Establish Verification Procedures activities in ProcessBootstrap.vsd and I wonder what you want to show here Can you explain more detail about two activities Why do you put them in "Change request control" In my opinion, I think Manage Traceability of requirement and Perform Configuration Audit is response to Configuration Management in CMMI, right If right, why do you put them in "Change request control" :) At the first time when I read the visio document, I guess the meaning of the sign: The black circle is used to show a signal or event, the hollow circle is used to show a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting a branch

  Is there only one way to delete a branch I created a branch I no-longer need so I was going to delete the folder in Source Code Explorer. Is this the best way to delete a branch Thanks for your help Graham In TFS a branch presented the same as any other file/folder. Feel free to delete it from SCE or the command line, it makes no difference. Of course, it's not a permanent deletion -- you can still undelete it, query its history with /slotmode, etc. like you can with ordinary deleted files/folders. We will support permanent deletion (Destroy) in a future version in order to save server disk cap ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding a New XML TextDocument

  Hi, I'm new the extensibililty interfaces and have managed to figure how to dynamically add a new TextDocument to the application's Documents collection.  I was wondering how to create a new XML document -- meaning the XML editor is managing the new document window   Thanks very much. - Erik The XML Editor has it's own EditorFactory, so you can just call  IVsUIShellOpenDocument OpenDocumentViaProjectWithSpecific with the XML editor factory GUID which is FA3CD31E-987B-443A-9B81-186104E8DAC1 and LOGVIEWID_Code if you want to be sure to get the XML text view rather than some associated XMl designer. ...Show All

• Architecture O/R mapper requirements for domain layer

  I have heard a lot of talk about disadvantages of various ORM solutions.  Mainly that some use attributes and reflection, making your domain layer peppered with hints about how objects are serialized and complaints (probably false) that reflection is slow.  Also, some frameworks don't support caching of domain objects.  Some require you to derive all your domain classes from a base class provided by the mapper.  Others can't provide typed collections. I gather that the most sought after requirements are as follows (I will update the list as people respond): Mapping should be completely external to Database and Do ...Show All
