• Visual Studio Team System No effect of "define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1"

  For the moment I want to suppress all the deprecated insecure functions during static code analysis.  I've added this line in two separate files that get included in all source files: #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1 to no effect -- the output still contains warning of these functions.  A colleague has resorted to #pragma to supress these warnings.  I'm curious as to why this doesn't work as documented in the help. Thanks. Sample warning: foo.cpp foo.cpp(18035) : warning C4996: '_wfopen' was declared deprecated c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\wchar.h(827) : see declaration of '_wfopen' Message: ' ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Xml data columns in Report Models

  I am working on a project where I need to expose some Xml data columns to a user that will be using the columns in Report Builder. I need to give the user the ability to query the nodes within the Xml data column. After creating the Data Source View, then opening up Report Builder - when I try to add the Xml column to the filter, I get a yellow warning icon next to the condition... Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish the task Craig Report Builder does not natively support xml data type. You need to create a set of views that would make your xml data look like a regular relational tables linke ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Proper documentation for WPF?

  Hello! Is there some proper written description of WPF somewhere, for instance for download from the Microsoft website. Concerning proper I mean some documentation which present a complete conceptual driven presentation of WPF with operational directions of examples. I think the SDK browser is very poor in presenting an overview of the area. I think it works much better for situations holding only a small amount of information. By the way the search feature of these forums also works incredibly poor, for instance the same thread may show up a whole lot of time for a given search. A question for you who may answer questions in her ...Show All

  i am passing a texture (type: D3DFMT_G16R16) to the pixel shader which is supposed to store the value 0.3 in the green channel of some texels. here is an excerpt from the pixel shader: PS_OUTPUT Main (PS_INPUT input) { ... output.accumulation.g = 0.3f; output.accumulation.r = 0.0f; ... return output; } in the next run of the pixel shader i pass the same texture (where some of the texels are set to 0.3) to the pixel shader again. depending if the current texel's value is 0.3, the output color of the pixel shader should be green, otherwise black.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build, and Static Code Analysis.

  Hello everyone, When i make a new team build type i can enable Code Analysis, but is there also a way to specify which rules i want to check , cos there are quit a few from all the different categories that i would like to exclude. And you can do this when running CA in Visual Studio or when using it as a checkin policy. So where to set this for Team Build I am using the Juli CTP of TFS, soon i hope to upgrade to Beta3 ;) Greetings, Paul You can do this by overriding CodeAnalysisRules property of project files through tfsbuid.rsp file.

• Visual Basic Using Visual Basic 6 with CLR Profiling API

  I am using the profiling api with Rotor. However, I've found that using C++ to implment COM interfaces is very, very painful. Has anybody created profilers using Visual Basic 6.0 dll's having objects that implement ICorProfilerCallback If not, should this work in theory (writing a profiler in VB6 instead of C++) Does anybody have any idea where I can find a typelib for the Profiling API that would include a definition of ICorProfilerCallback For my application, performance is not an issue, so I don't mind if VB is slower than C++. But, speed of development is very important, and I write code a lot faster in VB than I do in C++. Th ...Show All
