• Visual Studio Visual Studio .net 2003 Help does not work

  Hi!  I have found yet another problem.  I am trying to read through the tutorials that came with this progam and sadly, it does not work either.  I get a server not found error in what looks like a browser incorporated in the software.  Another thing that was interesting, the registration for this software does not appear to work either.  Is this why I am seein visual studio .net 2005   There is so many bugs in 2003 that they decided to release a new version as a cleanup 2 years later   It doesn't give you a nice warm feeling. I am new to programming with the visual studio tools so if anyone could point me ...Show All

• Visual C++ Possible Bug in Reference to Pointer to Const

  This is with VS 2005 void F( const char *&pChr) { pChr = "Test" ; } int _tmain( int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { char *pChr1; const char *pChr2; F(pChr1); // Fails: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'const char *&' F(( const char *)pChr1); // Fails: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'const char *&' F(pChr2); // Succeeds return 0; } This behavior is by design. (Any other C++ compiler allowing it is not conforming to the C++ standard.) In general, implicit conversions in C++ cannot simultaneously appl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Network Applications with VB2005 Express a few simple questions????

  Hi There, I know that this might sound like a foolish question but... I'm new to this programming so please bear with me  Here Goes... If I want to develop a client/Server application, like say a front end to look at a large database and deploy it out to many clients across a LAN (not an Internet solution) then can I do this with VB 2005 Express edition I know that the SQL Express edition cannot be deployed on the network server but If I were to develop the APP in VB Express could I then use SQL 2005 Standard edition or would I have to rewrite my code to connect this app up... or to put it another way,&nb ...Show All

• Visual Basic How can I print a TIF file programmatically?

  I have been banging my head against the wall for over two weeks now trying to find a way to programmatically print TIF files, without the need to for user interaction. The catch to this is that the files are well data logs, which turn out to be very large TIF files that, when printed, will span multiple pages. Right now the company is using a Neuralaser printer in conjunction with a NeuraView application that is able to print the images out across multiple pages for them, but it takes the user opening up each TIF file and using the print command. I have tried a few third party components, and they do not accomplish what I need.  I have ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas, Rectangles, ClipToBounds slowness

  We are thinking about starting a new moderately complex graphical application in WPF. But before committing to the platform, we are testing features to see if WPF can handle it. >:) One test application so far has a Canvas with ~800 Rectangles (added with C# using “canvas.Children.Add(..)”. These rectangles are movable by dragging them… implemented with Canvas.SetLeft(rect, newLeft) and Canvas.SetTop(..) from the MouseMove handler. I need some tips on how to speed this up. Currently dragging a single rectangle around causes 100% utilization with 20 FPS on a Xeon 2.8GHz… even turning down to 50 rectangles seems ...Show All
