I am looking to purchase a new development PC. My budget is not more than $1,000 USD (including monitor). I am open to laptop (desktop replacement type) or the traditional desktop PC would do just fine. My primary development environment will be Microsoft, Visual Studio 2008 (and support of older Visual Studio 6 code as well). SQL Se...
There are a ton of drivers & famous applications that are not available in 64-bit. Adobe for instance does not provider a 64-bit Flash player plugin for Internet Explorer. And because of that, even though I am running 64-bit Vista, I have to run 32-bit IE. Microsoft Office, Visual Studio also don't ship in 64-bit AFAIK. Now personally, ...
To pop up the UAC dialog in Vista when writing to the HKLM registry hive, we opt to not use the Win32 Registry API, as when Vista permissions are lacking, we'd need to relaunch our entire application with administrator rights. Instead, we do this trick: ShellExecute(hWnd, "runas" /* display UAC prompt on Vista */, windir + "\\Reg", "add...
How many bytes would an int contain and how many would a long contain? Context: C++ 32 bit computer Any difference on a 64-bit computer? ...
In my C# source code I may have declared integers as: int i = 5; or Int32 i = 5; In the currently prevalent 32bit world they are equivalent. However, as we move into a 64bit world am I correct in saying that the following will become the same? int i = 5; Int64 i = 5; ...
Hello. I've been looking for the answer 'how to use 'BSWAP' for lower 32-bit sub-register of 64-bit register.' For example, "0x0123456789abcdef" is inside RAX register, and I want to change it to "0x01234567efcdab89" with a single instruction. (because of performance) So I tried following inline function: #define BSWAP(T) { \ __asm...
Is there anyway to build a solution to target 64 bit environment in vs2003? My solution is native c++ not visual c++. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers, RWendi ...
Environment: Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 64bit, SP2 .NET framework is supposedly installed (2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1) I say "supposedly" because they are listed as installed under Add/Remove programs. I'm not sure it's properly installed, because the "ASP.NET" tab isn't added to any of the sites in IIS. In the IIS Web Service Ex...
I'd like to configure visual studio 2005 to copy .dll's based on whether the OS is 64-bit or 32-bit during a build. I do not want to specify what the platform target is. My first attempt was to use a batch file to lookup the Windows version, but some 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows share the same version number. Anyone know of...
Is there an algorithm for accurately multiplying two arbitrarily long integers together? The language I am working with is limited to 64-bit unsigned integer length (maximum integer size of 18446744073709551615). Realistically, I would like to be able to do this by breaking up each number, processing them somehow using the unsigned 64-bi...
How can I determine if I'm running on a 32bit or a 64bit version of matlab? I have some pre-compiled mex-files which need different path's depending on 32/64bit matlab. edit Found solution The function computer returns the architecture I'm running on. so: switch computer case 'GLNX86' display('32-bit stuff') case 'GLN...
I'm an absolute n00b into the java platform I would like to know whether I need to change anything in my code to get the benefits of 64bit JRE ? or is it something like when I initiate it with "java -d64" its gonna run in some turbo mode? Your help is highly appreciated ...
We have a customer that is trying to call our web service written in C# from PHP code. The web service call takes a long as parameter. This call works fine for other customers calling from C# or Java but this customer is getting an error back from the call. I haven't debugged their specific call but I am guessing that the 64bit integer ...
I am building an app that talks to an Access database via OleDB/Jet. There is only a 32-bit Jet provider, no 64-bit provider, so the app needs to be running in 32-bit mode. My dev box is Vista 64, so I set the project to build for x86 instead of any cpu. That gets my app running and talking to the database. But now I want to run some un...
How can I make my compilation optimized for Windows 64 bit? ...
In my current 32-bit application, I check (very occasionally) for overflow by doing operations on 64-bit integers. However, on 64-bit systems there does not seem to be a standard 128-bit integer. Is there a simple way of checking for overflow, or a way of getting 128-bit integers, which works on all OSes and compilers? I tried using GM...
Normally when using VMWare Server 1.0.7 you are asked if you would like to connect to the local machine or a remote host. Installing the same software on 64-bit Windows 2008 only gives the remote host option. I have tried entering the local machine name as the host and entering creds that have admin rights to the server but I just get ...
Are there any compatibility issues with running Visual Studio 6.0 (including Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Client), Visual Studio 2003 & Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Vista 64-bit? Can I interactively debug the applications with the Vista Web Server? Can I still make/compile projects? Is it correct to assume that Visual Studio 6.0 & 2003 will ...
Some of my data are 64-bit integers. I would like to send these to a JavaScript program running on a page. However, as far as I can tell, integers in most JavaScript implementations are 32-bit signed quantities. My two options seem to be: Send the values as strings Send the values as 64-bit floating point numbers Option (1) isn't p...
