Can anyone help me with this error or tell me which header file I could use in place for this one Are you trying to compile some Borland C++ based source code The header files are not the same between Borland and Visual C++ compilers. VC++ has <memory.h> though - which is probably similar in terms of functions. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Usb Flash

  I was wondering if it is possible to install the .NET framework onto a usb flash drive to be run on any computer that it is pluged into. For instance, I am currently unable to run .NET applications at school and would like to be able to, unforunately they do not have the .NET framework installed and refuse to install it. I am looking for a way to use some sort of portable media to store and run the .NET framework on, i.e. Cd, Dvd, flash stick, etc.... Thanks for all the help. Sorry, this is not a supported scenario. It is not possible. ...Show All

• Architecture Testing a server for Dual Core vs Single Core with/without HyperThreading

  I need to get a CPU count for licensing - i have a 4 way dual core that the OS reports as an 8 way - for licensing i care about sockets not cores - does anyone know of a way to get the socket count of a server Thanks As far as I know, there's no way to tell the different between two cores and two CPUs. You might be able to tell if HyperThreading exists; but that won't necesarily tell you how many socketed CPUs you have (e.g. if you have two dual-core CPUs it would appear as 4 CPUs, if you assume only one CPU when hyperthreading, then you'd miss one CPU.) ...Show All

• Visual J# TreeMap and TreeSet bug

  Hi I believe you have a severe bug in java.util.AbstractTreeMapImpl that is effecting both java.util.TreeMap and java.util.TreeSet. This bug can be easily recreated by just adding and then removing a large ammount of items from these collections. The remove() operation results in an exception, and, in some cases causes full consumption of cpu. This bug occurs both in Visual J# 1.1 and 2.0. "bug form #1" causes a more severe results than "bug form #2" and eventually causes a full consumption of the cpu (with iternum=1000, for example). Looks like it causes an endless loop in java.util.AbstractTreeMapImpl.remove ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Estimating Project Size/Cost

  I've read the MSF white papers on how to estimate project size. The MSF way is to estimate it bottom-up. I've come to a problem where I need to estimate the project size as early as possible. Do you guys have any experience with this kind of problem I'm not targeting for a 99% accuracy, just a range for low-high limits. Thanks!

All the method I've found and worked with can only move dirs to the same volume (eg, c:\test c:\foo\test) but will fail if I use a different disk as destination (eg, c:\test e: \test).

• SQL Server DTSProperty.GetValue

  Hi,    Seems a pretty straightforward problem however, I have now spent some time on it. I have a DTSProperty object and want to get its value. I am able to get all the other attributes like Name, Type just fine. The GetValue method on the DTSProperty class takes a object and returns a object. If I want to get a value of the current property what do I pass to GetValue I have something like foreach ( DtsProperty property in controlFlow.Properties) {    string propName = property.Name;    //I want to do this     if(property.Get)       property.GetValue( ) // ...Show All
