This is quite an unexpected change from my experiences in VB6 and VS2005 where the button simply grays itself out. Is there a setting that would allow me to make the disab...
I'm working on a Visual Studio .Net program for someone, and recently the program's been complaining that it's from an unknown publisher. I understand the correct thing to do here is sign it, but for reasons I won't go into that's not an option. The thing is, the program's never done this in any earlier versions. As far as I know, I hav...
I found MSVCR90D.dll not found in debug mode with Visual C++ 2008 question but none of given answers really gives answer to the question.

I am developing for a SH4 based device that can run either CE 4.2 or CE 5.0. As per my previous question, I can target these devices using the Standard SDKs under embedded visual C++ 4.0, but I cannot debug over ActiveSync.
