Fixes to bugs...

A few of the bugs I've followed have been reported by MS as fixed in the
MSDN Product Feedback Center. But as far as I can tell, there have been no
updates to the versions on our systems. So, what good are fixes to bugs if
the versions on our machines are still old and still have the bug?

I guess I'm asking, how to we get fixes to bugs to VS C++.NET? I'm using
both Express and Pro, and I'm guessing the two would require different
patches. Can I assume that Windows Update DOESN'T do this, or does it?

Specifically. There was a well-known IntelliSense bug that caused the
application to lock up:

YEAH! - they say it's bee fixed! But - SIGH - the fix isn't doing me any
good if I can't get a patch.

From some of the comments to the bug reports, it sounds to me as
though MS are planning a service pack release of VS2005 relatively
soon (relatively probably means sometime in the next 6 months) - but
this is pure speculation on my behalf.

If you have a particular bug that's causing you significant problems
contact MS by phone and report the problem, they may well have a fix
available (that's not generally available).

Yes. VS2005 SP1 has been officially announced (along with VS 2003 SP1). No
date set yet, of course, but it's coming. IIRC, it's 1st half of 2006.

Hi Peter!
Specifically. There was a well-known IntelliSense bug that caused the
application to lock up:

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/produc...4-738fcfddf258


I general you can contact product support and request a hotfix. Maybe MS
has one for this...

For service packs see:

there seems to be a serious problem with allowing numbers to grow in a nearly unbounded manner, as int/long unification does: it hides bugs. most of the time, i expect my numbers to be small. 2**31 is good enough for most uses of variables, and when more is needed, 2**63 should do most of the time. granted, unification allows code to work for larger numbers than foreseen (as PEP 237 states) but i feel the potential for more undetected...

Hi, I am looking for a list of bug fixes between MFC 6.0 and MFC 7.0 and MFC 7.1 and bug fixes between ATL 3.0, 7.0 and 7.1. When I developed using the Sun C++ compiler there was a set of release notes that identified bug fixs and known issues. I cannot find a similar thing for MFC or ATL. Is there such a thing, and if there is where do I find it? Thanks

Hello, Having discovered what I believe to be two CSS bugs in IE7, I have submitted bug reports to MS. AFAIK, these don't get acted on until they receive votes form others to say they are worth investigating. As (I naively assume) it's in everyone's interest to see IE7 support CSS properly, would anyone care to vote for these bugs, so that they might get fixed before IE7 comes out of beta?

I was running into the System.Drawing.Image.FromStream "parameter is not valid" on some of the images I was retrieving from a blob column in Sql Server. I thought there were corrupt images as almost all worked (all are gifs), and only a few broke when this line ran: Image img = Image.FromStream(ms); here is the original code: b = (byte)dt.Rows.ItemArray; //b.ToString() ms = new MemoryStream(); ms.Write(b, 0, b.Length);

Great to see VS Emacs key mapping back as of VS2005, but there have been bugs that were never fixed. They remain in VS2008, despite bug reports to Microsoft., and SP1 for VS2008 does not fix them.

Does anyone know if this is targeted for upcoming service packs? Or are there published...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
