• Visual C# problem in adding reference to a DLL file

  When trying to add a reference to a DLL  file (made with ANSI C++) to a VS2005 C# project, by right click on references, add reference, I receive the following error in both of them:    "A reference to 'dllFileName.dll' could not be added.

  I have two tables in a dataset, which are both filled when the user opens a source file.

• Visual C# event declaration

  Hi. I'm experienced in VB but new in C#. What's the ecquievelant of the following in C# Public Event MyEvent(arg1 as string , arg2 as int) Public Sub RaiseMyEvent()     RaiseEvent MyEvent("bla bla",15) End Sub   It sounds like you want to race the event outside of the class you've declared it. This is not possible. You can only add or remove events (+=/-=) from the outside (public domain). The event can only be raised from within the class where you've declared the event (private domain). ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why are SnapLines and SnapToGrid Mutually Exclusive?

  SnapLines and SnapToGrid are mutually exclusive.  Why I thought one of the major reasons for SnapLines was to encourage better organized forms.  But a major strength of SnapToGrid is to assist the programmer to evenly space controls within the form. SnapLines helps you when it comes to the outside margins of the control or form, but not so much when it comes to distancing fields from each other.  SnapLines doesn't use the grid size when determining separation.  Apparently this is to allow the programmer more flexibility. Had these two options been offered as independent choices, I would have suggested that ...Show All

• Visual C# COM Reference

  Fixed Can you do the properties on the reference that you added and see what is the pass to the dll, for me it is, and it looks to work fine: C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Office\11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Office.dll And another thing are you sure that you have primary interop assemblies installed I think that in some installation configurations these assemblies are not installed. Just go to forlder C:\WINDOWS\assembly and see if you have assemblies like Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and so on. Max ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Update Check In Comment

  I would like to update a check-in comment for a source code file that I checked into TFS version control. Is this supported If so, what tool should I use Make sure to try and use the command-line "tf changeset XXX" - in Beta3, we didn't allow changesets to be edited from history. We've since changed that and in the final bits you'll be able to edit the changeset details regardless of how you brought them up. ...Show All

• Visual C++ One Static Library for all kinds of C Runtime

  Hello, We have developed a library for other C++ programmers which we would like to deliver as a static library w/ VC++.Net 2003. I have a question though: Assuming that we don't know which C runtime the users would like to use (Single threaded, Multithreaded etc.), is it possible to build one static library which fits all Thanks, Devrim. Unfortunately the answer is no. You have to recommend consumers of your library what CRT should be linked in. Using /MD usually found as the best solution. Thanks, Nikola VC++ ...Show All

  In the Vista Media Center SDK they have an example of using a WinFX XAML Browser Application as an application in Media Center.

I'm using Vista Beta 2(5384). We have yet to see any WinFX apps run in Media Center. Does anyone have any experience with this or know the best place to get more information Thanks, R.
