• Visual C++ Using WinHelp in Visual C++ Studio 2005

  I am trying to port some old Borland code to Visual C++ 2005. I have a help button that is supposed to open a help file. I have a MyHelp.hlp file and a MyHelp.cnt file. According to the MSDN Help (and the instructions in my help file development program), the way to do this in Visual C++ is by using the WinHelp() function, defined in windows.h file. Unfortunately, this file seems to no longer exist in the 2005 version of Visual Studio (I searched for it). Does anyone know how this is done now Thanks in advance to all who respond! Note: In case it makes a difference, I am currently using a downloaded Visual Studio 2005 Express version ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi & SqlServer2K5_BOL.msi

  After I installed SqlServer2K5_BOL.msi, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP does not launch any more. How can I use both SSMSEE and BOL I would be very skeptical when downloading either of those files. MS download servers currently have a fairly serious (in my opinion) problem with syncronizing their mirroring. It seems to lead to some mirrors providing outdated files - it's meant to be transparent to the end user so you typically don't even know you may be downloading from a mirror, or receiving an outdated file.

• .NET Development What Iam doing wrong?

  OK. What Iam doing wrong here I have wrote this function, but it doesen't work :S. ReadHTMLFile() is a function that reads whole HTML file. GenerateMenuBar() is a function to generate menu bar for the HTML file. Then I do what I need to do (is in WriteHTMLFile() function) and when I write the file I get a page like some tags are missing (truncated :S). I compare the html files (the original one and the generated one) and Ive notice that at the bottom of the file some tags are in very strange place (see below the code). public void WriteHTMLFile()         {          &nb ...Show All
