• Visual C++ Dynamically bind to a library and function

  Within my .NET managed class instance called LibraryFunction i want it to be able to: 1. Dynamically load a given library given it is not already loaded. 2. Dynamically bind to a function/method within this library. 3. Call this function with a given set of parameters. The binding is made possible by instance variables like mLibName and mFunctionName. My current unmanaged class uses code like the following: FARPROC f = (FAR ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Help with FxCopCmd Loading an Assembly Dir

  Hopefully this is a stupid question (as in, there's an easy answer.) Background:    Using FxCop v1.32    My project file indicates to only check against 1 rule.    It also indicates to ignore 3 Interop dll's that exist in the assembly dir. I'm trying to run FxCopCmd with the following arguments...    /p:C:\Build\MyProj.FxCop    /f:C:\Build\Bin    /d:C:\Buil ...Show All

• SQL Server triggers

  what is the difference between for and after trigger. There is no difference -- the trigger is an AFTER trigger either way; FOR is just a different keyword you can use.   -- Adam Machanic Pro SQL Server 2005, available now http://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html bID=457 --     < dev_sriv@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:10c42a99-1ae7-4f8b-8132-f825add ...Show All

• Architecture UI Design: Edit then List vs List then Edit

  Today I was thinking about the way I build UIs (List the Edit) and the way most people I know build UIs (Edit then List) and the relation that the way you build you UI has with the way you store the data you manipulate in you UI. So I wrote an article about that in my blog: http://luxspes.blogspot.com/2006/04/ui-design-edit-then-list-vs-list-then.html And would like to hear opinions about it... and perhaps get ideas to build some kind ...Show All

• SQL Server Measure Group ID

  Hi, What is the thinking behind not allowing us to change the default value of the ID property of a measure group I really don't like the default - I'd like to choose my own.  (If thjere is a way to change it in BIDS then plesae let me know!) This wouldn't be a problem except that the XML/A process command references the ID and I would rather have something in there that is intuitive - somehing that represents what the measure group i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Inserting large numbers into a byte array

• SQL Server Data transfer between Progress-SQL Server 2005-Oracle

Oracle houses the combined financial data between Progress (via the data warehouse) and our other Oracle databases. Problem: 1. Data is imported successfully into SQL Server from Progress using a SQL script written by an INFOR technician Example: IF object_id ( 'insi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Question about ClickOnce

  Hey all, I thought of using ClickOnce technology and its benifits to install an old VB6 application which is used by a website. The installation includes registeration of DLL's and COM objects. It also needs to place files under %programfiles%\company directory. I thought of using C# 2005 project to make a shell to: 1. MSI package which will do the job. 2. Create my own code of installation inside the project. What do you think Any tips ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to get a reference to a model within code?

  Another little brain teaser: As part of this problem of creating multiple linked models I'm looking for a way of getting a reference to a model that is not necessarily open in an editor. The scenario I am considering at the moment is where I am splitting a single model over many files (to support distributed development of the model and to support diagrams of small model sections) and this single model has some elements that must be common acros ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom .proj or VS.NET .sln file?

  Hi, I am currently in the process of setting up a build server with CruiseControl.NET, SubVersion and MSBuild. Our developers will be using VS.NET on their dev machines. When calling MSBuild from the build server, should I use the VS.NET created .sln file or a custom build .proj It seems that a custom build .proj gives more flexibility but dosen't this make the .sln file redundant I would like the developers to have the same build process as ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using custom base page in Browser app (February CTP)

  Hi! I'm building a Browser app and would like all pages in my project to subclass my own implementation of Page (which is a subclass of System.Windows.Controls.Page). The only problem is that the class is partially defined in the "code behind" file of the XAML document, and partially in the .cs file generated by Visual Studio. If I specify my own base page as the base class of my page, the compiler gives me the folloing error: ...Show All
