• Leaf. multiple stored procedures using SQLCommand

    Hi guyz,      I wanted to call multiple stored procedures using SQL Command. How will I do it        I'm actually thinking of creating two instance of SQLCommand but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do it. I'm looking around the internet but there's no sample.

• IceAngel89 CLR and thread deadlocks

  Hello, I'm hosting the CLR (.NET 2.0) in an unmanaged C++ app. The CLR is used for calling C# plugin functions through IDispatch. The C# plugins are COM visible classes and are created from the app main UI thread. They are mostly used for accessing the app through a COM primary interop assembly generated with TLBIMP.EXE. The interop between C# and the app is achieved through the default Microsoft COM wrappers. This is all working fine but I'm having a problem when the C# functions are called by the app from a worker thread. At this point the CLR attempts to interop with the app via the UI main thread which is causing a deadlock because that thread is locked while the worker thread is executing. From what I see in the call stack (b ...Show All

• Pini Memory consuming during BinaryFormatter Deserialization

  Hi, I have a problem and I need your help please, I have made a large aplication that takes a very long time to generate the results, so I have serialized the intermediate results periodically in a binary files using BinaryFormatter in order to save it from any suddenly problems like shutdown or restart. Now I need to Deserialize all saved files to continue my work. The size of the saved file is about 6.5 GB devided into about 260 files. When I try to deserialize it one by one, the first three files were deserialized in about one or two min. , and then the speed is very slow down, and the memory is fully consumed. I think that when the reading process starts the memory begins free and it then filled out with each reading ...Show All

• zz2 multiple to single

  hi! im not sure if im posting at the right forum but here is my problem.. in my program i need to insert multiple columns to a single row.. the multiple column is in a different database (remote) and the single column is in my local. how could i do this thanks! where are you inserting these columns in a datatable Datagridview for what you are describing, you would need to fill a dataset using the DataAdapter (SQL or OleDb) with the records, as it retrieves everything (All records and its columns) and then insert your data into that/modify it then finally update the database using the Update(theDataSet) of te DataAdapter you need to explain more so we can help you :-) you need to pret ...Show All

• TJC2 How do i use the Typed dataset i created?

  i created a new Typed dataset by these steps : 1. Added new item (XMLSchema) called XMlSchema1. 2. dragged a table to the xsd screen which created a dataset automatically. 3. called the dataset "ProductsDataSet" but how do i use it in the book i read i just write : ProductsDataSet pDataSet = new ProductsDataSet(); (SqlDataAdapter)sqlDAdapter).Fill(pDataSet.Products); but the compiler tells me that he can't find any 'ProductsDataSet', why Why can't he find it (the XmlSchema1.xsd is in the same namespace as the code i wrote). (In the book it is written to check the "GenerateDataSet" , i don't have that kind of property. from what i can see you created a schema file not a Dataset so if ...Show All

• Paul Noakes Database insert problem

  Hi! I'm attempting to insert records from a tab-delimited text file into a database. I can successfully parse the text file and get the data into a datatable. I verified this by binding the datatable to a gridview - I can see all the rows. My problem is when I try to insert those records into a SQL 2005 table. The error I get is: System.ArgumentException: Input array is longer than the number of columns in this table. My database has 36 columns. When I generate the datatable, I leave out the primary key column because such a column doesn't exist in the text file. Obviously, I'll need a primary key in the database. My goal is to insert the data via stored procedure. Does my stored procedure have to have a parameter for the primar ...Show All

• deGame Month and day names in spanish now lowercase..

  In framework 1.0 month and day names were capitalized in spanish culture, now in 2.0 are lowercase. Why Those are names, names are written capitalized, is a rule of the language. I can't even think one reason to write them lowercase. Now, I have to search all the thousands of classes in my programs to find where month and day names appear. Worst, there is no easy way to capitalize a word in .Net. This change troubles me a lot. You may have also noticed that other month names as well as names for the days of the week are also in lower case for many .NET cultures. This is because that is thought to be the proper format when used in date expressions, and this is the key to why your weekday and mont ...Show All

• nayakam Defining a namespace in two files

  I was wondering if it is possible to define a namespace in two separate files. Will class Foobar be able to instantiate an instance of class Foo Right now it is not working for me. This compiles and runs but I do not get any Intellisense.   Like this: FILE1- namespace test {   public class Foo{    } }   FILE2- namespace test {   public class Foobar{    } } In this example it seems I have uncovered a little more of the issue. I have 2 ASPX files and would like to reference class A in file 1 from class B in file 2. Both in same namespace. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and have placed both files under my root directory in the solution explorer. The ...Show All

• DaveParr NET Framework written in C++?

  Hello there, the thing I want know is: In which language is .NET written. I am sure .NET supports so much prog languages, but in which language the .NET Framework was written (I mean the IDEs, the libs like System.dll, the interpreter). Another question: What about C# Is this language written in Assembler or was it created trough C++ like lots of other langs I am looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards Ian I think it would be C++ What part of .NET Many of the framework class library classes are written in C#. The CLI/CLR is written in C/C++ and assembly. OK so the .NET Framework Interpreter (CLI) is written in C++ The libs (mscorlib.dll, System.dll, etc.) are written in C# The C# compiler ...Show All

• Zokkan Formatting numbers

  .net I am building a solution that shows two numbers. VAT on sales and VAT on costs. I can obtain the two values through a SQL query Sum(amount) * 0.175 etc etc however when I want to subtract one from the other I get a single digit number. For example my sql query might return 14,5435.00 and 5,746.00 but the value i get after i try to subtract them is 9. I have tried using format but that just returns a letter "N" in this case. Label35.Text = Format(objDataRow.Item( "totalclientyear" ), "N" ) objDataRow.Item("") return an object. You need to convert the data to a number for the format to work Label35.Text= CDec(ObjDataRow.Item("totalclientyear&quo ...Show All
