• Smart Device Development 2005 C/C++ codegen vs eVC4

  Hi,    I'm in the middle of porting a high performance 3d app to a CE 4.2 device, I'm currently using eVC4. Would using Visual Studio 2005 (with the plugin) give me better code generation than eVC 4   At the moment I am unable to do inline asm (__asm) for ARM4I using eVC4. Would this be possible in 2005 Many thanks, Steven Haggerty. Is there a way I can send a mouse/stylus click to a control ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2003: Not enough disk space solutions?

  My coworker is finally moving from VC6, but only has a 2GB C partition.  There's not enough room for the prerequisites, such as the .NET framework.  I tried changing the default Common and Program Files directories to another drive, via Regedit, but the setup program is still trying to place stuff on C:. Other than reinstalling his OS with a far larger C:, is there anything else I can try Thanks FWI ...Show All

  When I look at the output from this task everything makes sense except the error.  Running the copy command from the command line works properly and there are no obvious security ACL issues.  Any thoughts on what might be triggering the "illegal characters in path" error Task "Copy": Copying file from "C:\Projects\Common\trunk\bin\debug\*.*" to "R:\Common\2.0\45\debug\*.*". Command: copy /y "C:\Projects\Common\trunk\bin ...Show All

• .NET Development limitations with XslCompiledTransform and Xpath predicates

  I've found out (from an XslLoadException) that Xpath predicates can't be used in template match statements with XslCompliedTransform. I can use predicates in xsl:for-each statements without getting an exception but it still doesn't work correctly. Non .net implementations seem to have no problems with using Xpath predicates. I can't find any docs on XslCompiledTransform's support for Xpath predicates. Does anyone know what the limitations are ...Show All
