• Visual C++ A plea to MS to improve compiler warning message C4244

  I am currently increasing the warning level on a number of C++ projects from 3 to 4 in order to pick up (amongst other things) lossy implicit type conversions. These are reported with messages such as: warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'double' to 'long', possible loss of data Please can you improve the message to say WHICH ARGUMENT of WHICH FUNCTION. When the line number identifies a function call with 12 arguments, some of which are ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ActivityValidators running on compile

  Quick question here on something I'm not clear one: I've got a custom activity library project (C#), on which I have created a custom ActivityValidator-derived class for a custom activity. The validator itself works just fine, the problem is actually compiling the custom activity library. What I'm seeing happening here is that the actual validator is getting run when the actual activity library is compiled. It seems the workflow targets invoked ...Show All

• Visual Studio Any VSS addin sample that works?

  Hi, I have tried to create the sample C# VSS addin described here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/hcdf9zk2(en-us,vs.80).aspx but no event is being trapped. Actually, the COM component is not even registered. Any pointer to a working demo/sample Thanks in advance. O.k, I figured it out by myself. It was becuase of a line of code in my VSS2005 help file. ~IvssEventSample() { // Unwire the connection point (see Init ...Show All

• Visual C++ Link Errors After Upgrading from 2003

  I'm currently tasked with evaluating VS2005 for my company's tools team. The team has been focusing on .NET applications in VS7.1 for the past six months, and we've been doing great. Unfortunately, when I converted one of our 7.1 projects over to 8.0 (2005), I encountered several linking errors I could not clear. The /clr is set to "oldSyntax," because this project is far too large to convert over to the new /clr syntax. We are linking to nat ...Show All

• Visual C# Deep equivalence testing?

  Hi, hope you can help. If I create a class with some properties and fields and then instantiate two objects based on this class, I need some way of testing for equivalence. Since the == operator works on reference equivalence, this will not work for me. I need to do a field-by-field/property-by-property equivalence check. Ideally, this would be a deep test, recursively looking at sub-objects too. How is the best way to achieve this ...Show All

• .NET Development INamingContainer, what are you doing with that MasterPage?

  The master pages feature in the new .NET 2.0 framework is great. Better said, there is nothing that can compare to it! And that makes it even more frustrating, that the MasterPage class implements the INamingContainer interface. Besides that, there is no need for the MasterPage to implement that interface, because the ContentPlaceHolder -usually used within a master page- implement the INamingContainer interface too. So when ensuring a control's ...Show All
