• Visual Studio Adding new VSS DB (Internet) in VS.NET, why provide local srcsafe.ini path?

  I don't understand why you have to provide the UNC path to a srcsafe.ini file when you're trying to add a VSS database via the Internet.  Any news on this I'm sorry, I found my answer here: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=115726 I was assuming the share given had to be accessible from the client's PC.  I didn't realize this share was expecting to already be logged into the server and more of a "security check" that you know where to look if you were on the system. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions const_cast of std::string::c_str() for winapi?

  For some winapi structs and functions a non-const char (or wchar_t) is required. If my code uses the stl std::string, would it be acceptable to use const_cast on the c_str() member function Or is copying to a TCHAR array the best solution The situations I might envisage using such a const_cast would be where I'm fairly certain the system only copies the string (to a listbox, combobox or comboboxex list, for example) , rather than alters it . Would this be an acceptable use of const_cast or should I prefer using a temporary array to store a copy of the stl string and pass that instead to those windows functions or structs that mig ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Generics

  Dear All,  I have used C# 2.0 generics to build a class. the thing is that when i investigate the code using IlDasm, i could find the box with T parameters mentioned statements out there. but the main advantage is that boxing will not happen when using generics. can anyone justify this or suggest me whts wrong . regards, sundararajan.s Could you post the code that is causing the boxing   Generics don't necessarily eliminate the boxing of value types.  They will eliminate the need provided you are using the generic throughout but any calls into methods that require an object will still cause a ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Missing Feature for testing Activities in Build 0689

  I installed the new Build 0689 of WL Messenger and found that the ability to test P4 Activities/Games using msgrp2p.xml has been removed, or at the least the menu item no longer shows up under the Actions menu.
