• Visual C++ Ensuring symbol order in object files?

  Is there a way to get the C++ compiler to generate .obj files that maintain the order of the symbols as they appeared in the .cpp file   If so, is there also a way to ensure that the linker also preserves the order A simple example of the behavior I'm seeing from the compiler/linker: .cpp file contains int foo1; int foo2; int foo3; int foo4; when I dump the symbols from the .obj file I get this 00B 0000000C SECT3  notype       External     | foo3@@3HA (int foo3) 00C 00000008 SECT3  notype       External     | foo4@@3HA ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report: Prevent textboxes from moving

  I created a report that has a table and some textboxes. I need the table and textboxes to be in a specific location on the report. The table varies between 1 and 6 rows. This causes a problem because the textboxes below the table move according to how many rows on in the table. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can prevent the textboxes from moving location Thanks, Marc I found a solution.... I had one report where the table did not cause the textboxes to change location and another report where the table changed the textboxes location. I opened the .rdlc file in notepad and ...Show All

• Visual Studio XMI and Design Patterns

  Hi, A model (Class Diagrams) is exported to XMI format. Now,in the class diagrams,each class is stereotyped to follow a design pattern say Observer Pattern (take 4 classes are participating in a single Observer Pattern). If there are 2 or 3 sets of classes (i.e. there will be 8 or 12 classes) which follow Observer Pattern within the same XMI file then how can we know which class is related to which other 3 classes (Say in set 1, class c1 is related to c2,c3,c4 but not related to other sets). I intially thought of using the relationships between the classes (association, generalization/specialization,dependency,interface implementati ...Show All

• Visual C# RTM Web refactoring... Serious problems!!

  I am amazed that the refactoring support in VS2005 is in this state. It is utterly useless. How can they claim to have Refactoring support for web projects I have a Solution that contains one web project and two library projects. It is NOT a complicated solution (~150 .cs files and maybe 100 .aspx and .ascx skin files). And when I try to use ANY of the refactoring tools that have been provided in Visual Studio 2005, it takes an eternity (over 2 minutes) and I normally give up on it... This includes, Find References, Rename, etc... No matter what I do, it iterates through EVERY aspx file in the web project ! ! I choose a method and selec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions XML...add new XML elements to existing document

  I asked this earlier, but didn't get an answer. I'd really like to figure this out. It seems like it shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm making an application to keep track of recipes. I'm able to add two recipes, but when I add a third, it overwrites the last one in the file with the new one I'm adding. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to do this Here's my code.

• SQL Server Meta Data Management / Dependancy Analysis

  BI perspective, meta data management is quite crucial. In SQL 2000, as far as I know we didn't have a great support for meta data. Has that changed in SQL2005 What about dependancy analysis For example if I drop a column from a SSIS data flow what would be affected Is it possible Thanks Jamie As you say someone will come up with something soon. It is going to be a valuable tool. Clients enquire this type feature when we try to sell MS DW solution to them. Maybe Darren and Allan can come up with something hint hint :-) Thanks Sutha PS - Jamie, I haven't done that mail yet ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Create a TableLayoutPanel at Run Time

  I’d like to create a TableLayoutPanel at Run Time. I have been successful in creating the panel, but I have not been able to program the height and width of the cells. The code snippet below shows what I am attempting to do. I have commented out those statements that are not working to show what I have tried. I attempted to anchor the TableLayoutPanel to the left and right side of the form. Because these had no effect, I set the table width equal to the form width. I made a couple of attempts to set column(0)’s width, but these gave me run time errors. I obviously don’t understand how to format the TableLayoutPanel and those ...Show All
