• Visual C++ Static link of Microsoft Samples - need hotfix download dir *.lib

  When I linking Scribble, IDE regular post me kind of 'Could not find user32.lib - failure' & so on. I solved the problem by importing \LIB from Visual C++'98(6.0).

• Visual Studio Team System Web Based Defect Tracking Option?

  Does VSTS have any web based defect tracking system to hook into the VS2005 defect tracking database   I can't imagine that we want our QA teams in Visual Studio 2005.  Most of them are application people and not very technical.

  In the hardware editor I can specify the type and number of processors, the type and number of hard disks as well as the use of RAID sets.

• Visual C# A beautiful language ruined by generics

  I've read all your arguments. I see good points of each side. Thank you for letting me enjoy this article. It seems the question is for C#'s code readability v.s. code reusability. As a solution developer I prefer not to use generic or template because my problem domain resides in a specific classes or types. However if I need to maintain or to develop a library, I probabily look into generic stuff. Hmm... ...Show All

• Visual C++ Scrolling Crash MFC

  My MFC program is crashing after about 10 min of consistent use. The software displays a music score, so there is a lot of horizontal scrolling. All of the sudden, while scrolling, the graphics that are off-screen do not appear when they are scrolled to. Then, while I can still click on the menus, nothing will draw, and the program has to be terminated. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could go about debugging this ...Show All

• Visual C# "Layer of Abstraction" Confusion

  Hi folks, I'm trying to understand what events are, and primarily, why and when to use them, however, I'm having a little trouble understanding the subject. I hear a lot of people saying that events are another layer of abstraction, but I don't actually know what that means. I've tried Googling around, and I have found some sites that discuss it, but they seem to be talking to people who are CS graduates. Could someone explain the conc ...Show All
