• Visual C++ unable to edit command line for a project

  Trying to compile and execute a C++ project in VS2005 I ran into a linker problem. After some investigation it turned out that the calling convention was not what it was supposed to be for the functions used in the program. I changed the option for the calling convention from /Gd to /Gz. I needed __stdcall to be made. After that I got this error message: Error 1 Command line error D8016 : '/clr:pure' and '/Gz' command-line options are ...Show All

• Visual Basic Focus box for radio button

  What is the magic word you have to say to coerce radio buttons to have a focus box (dotted rectangle) around them when they have the focus Depending on the phase of the moon or perhaps whether Cody (my Old English Sheepdog) is under the desk, they sometimes are there and sometimes aren't. I would have thought that padding and margins were the relevant factors, but they don't seem to be. Regards, Al Just saw thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Task "WITs" from Group "WorkItemTracking" failed

  This is with Beta3 on a real 2003 Standard Server SP1. Setup worked without a problem. I did change the name of the three accounts but they all work fine. I cannot create a project with a user account that's in the domain admin group. However I can create a project with the <setup> account logged on on the server directly. Thinking it's a SQL permission kinda thing, I gave the domain account all the same permissions as the <service> ...Show All
