• Dan Shookowsky Obtain the name of the current executing Function

  Hi I need to obtain the name of the function which it’s executing, in other words the function need to know its name. Thanks for your help. On desktop I would probably use MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() instead of StackTrace, but yes - it's easy to do on desktop. It's not a very common task though and it was not needed internally so it was cut on devices. Believe it or not but there’s no good way to do it. The very ugly way is to throw and catch exception and get the name from stack trace. System.Diagnostics.StackTrace lobjStack = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(); //Get the immediate caller System.Diagnostics.StackFrame lobjCaller = lobjStack.GetFrame(1); Sys ...Show All

• caitac Data Performace using TableDirect (Updates and Inserts)

  I am writing a data loading routine which will take an XML stream and populate a table. From the XML, I know the name of the table, the column name, and the value for the given row. The problem I am encountering is performance with loading the data because I have to decide if the SQL command should be an insert or an update. If the data exists, then I should update the columns, if the data is a new row, then I should do an insert. The XML will be for only one table, so I can use TableDirect in the command object. Right now, I am using the DataAdapter/Table to find the row having the key. If the row is returned, then I update, if not, then I do a Rows.Add. (See code below). It is taking about 3 minutes to ...Show All

• Sam Jost VE seems to have incorrect latitude and longitude references

  Hi, Every single latllong that I go to on VE seems to be out by about 15km. I have used several different handheld GPS units to get latlong's of my local area and these match up exactly with google earth but are out by about 15km with VE. I have also downloaded WinformsEarthV2 and this seems to be having the same problem. Further to that I have taken an exact copy of sample code from the sdk and tried setting the center to one of my local latlongs and once again it was out by approximately 15km which gives me the impression that it's a VE problem not one with my code, but I don't think this is very likely. Therefore I must be doing something wrong! Can anyone please point out what I am doing wrong Cheers, Scott. ...Show All
