• Visual Studio Can you defer property evalation?

  I have a catch-22.  I have a property called "OutputPath" defined in my targets file.  I also have an empty property called VcOtherFlags defined in a target in my targets path that allows folks to add in addtional compiler flags.  Now here is the problem.  If I do this: <PropertyGroup>     <VcOtherFlags>-I$(OutputPath)</VcOtherFlags> </PropertyGroup> <Import Project="..\foo.targets"/> Then in the target buried in foo.targets, VcOtherFlags evaluates to "-I" because the OutputPath is defined in foo.targets.  If I switch the order like so: <Import Project="..\foo.targets"/ ...Show All

• Visual C# BitConverter

  hello...   First of all, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this... anyway, here's my prob... I am writing a TCP server in C#... and a client in JAVA..... I converted an int in JAVA into byte[4]...(tested it in java, nothing wrong). sent it over to the server.. At the server, convert it back into int from byte[4]....and it becomes 16777216 instead of the original number which is 1..   my question is, is it possible that JAVA and C# has different formatting in the conversion   or is it that my reader or writer of the server and client that has the problem   I do manage to send text correctly over ...Show All

• Visual J# System.InvalidOperationException Every Time I try a particular Web Reference

  Greetings Fellow J# Developers! I am currently working on a project which requires me to make references to the Autodesk Vault Web API.  This API apparantly at some point passes in an array of INTS or LONGS.  Although I cannot post the code from their end (on account it is closed source), I can post my code that is generating the error (though I don't feel it will be of any help).  I posted this to the Autodesk Vault user group, and this is the reply that I got: Reply From: Doug Redmond \(Autodesk\) Date: Jul/25/05 - 12:27 (GMT)     Re: GetLatestFileAssociationsByMasterIds can not be reflected ...Show All

• Visual Studio IvsMonitorSelection.GetCurrentSelection returns Interface not registered

  Hello, My package is using IvsMonitorSelection.GetCurrentSelection.  In some cases, the call to IvsMonitorSelection.GetCurrentSelection returns the following: Interface not registered (Exception from HRESULT 0x80040155) In other places in my code, this works without a problem but it consistently fails in one particular place.  I don't understand how there can be a difference.  Can anyone shed any light on why IvsMonitorSelection.GetCurrentSelection might return such an error Thanks, Notre Hi Notre,   You can use Global interface table APIs in managed code to get the same behavio ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to create a control with a gradient background

  I would have figured that this sort of capability would be part of the standard VS 2005 controls, especially considering the extent to which MS uses gradients in their own apps for button backgrounds and such...it is not too much to ask, is it anyway... Since the standard controls in VS 2005 do not seem to support gradient backgrounds I have made a custom GradientButton class derived from the Button class. I'd like it to have a gradient background. How do I do this without redrawing the entire control I referenced a C# example on how to do this and the code showed an overridden OnPaint method that used the event argument's graphics object ...Show All
