• SQL Server File extension

  I was told by my website provider that they do not support the .mdf extension and only support the mdb extension. What am I not getting here I am using SQL Server Express 2005. Is .mdf a subset of .mdb Hi Swabbie, No, .mdf is a SQL Server database file and .mdb is a Jet database file. These are two completely different database engines. Your website provider is telling you that they don't support SQL Server. There are a number of providers that do support SQL Server, you may want to consider changing web providers. Mike ...Show All

• .NET Development Standalone application development VS 2005

  I am trying to develope 2 C++ apps, one using standard windows libraries and the other using MFCs. The MFC one needs to be an x64 app. The apps require to be run from removable media. Also, nothing is allowed to be installed on the host machines that is not already there. Because of the x64 requirement I seem to be limited to using VS 2005 as my development environment. But when I use my apps from a memory stick with the CRT library dlls side-by-side I get an R6034 error. - 'An application has made an attempt to load th C runtime library incorrectly'.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Really, REALLY strange "bug" with Vector3

  For my ray tracer, I created my own Vector struct that pretty much wraps a Vector3. The thing is, I used to have just three floats; X, Y, and Z. Now I just unioned them with the Vector3. For some reason, rendering time cut down by about 15% (i.e. from 10 seconds to 8.5). I removed the Vector3 and it went back to being 10 seconds. ...Wtf Is there a hidden type constructor with Vector3 that makes it much more efficient I'm not even using any of the Vector3 methods for my transforms and such. Could anyone tell me what the hell did I stumble into Pon t3h pony wrote: They're exactly the same. Are you sure There must be a difference somewhere!

• Visual Basic Is there a way to have the IDE wrap to the current tab indent?

  If I have a line of code that is indented (say withihn an IF.. THEN loop, etc.) and the IDE wraps the line, the line gets wrapped to to the left margin, not the current indent. This makes the code a lot harder to read. Is there a way to get it to wrap to the current indent Example: Else If Answers.Count >= AnswerNum + 1 Then 'Recycle the ones we already created for previous exercise.

  I am using Visual Studio 2003.net and trying to get connected to SQL 2005. Is this even possible to do and if not what is the best way to connect to a database with Visual Basic 2003.net. Before I was able to make a connection with VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express edition but this is seeming to be a “no way hosa” kind of thing. .

• SQL Server Using shared dataSource while deploying a report.

  Hi, I am writing a script which will deploy a report on the report server. The dataSource used for the report is a shared one and which is already deployed on the report server. What code should be added in the rss script to specify that the report uses the shared dataSource When I searched on net I found an article : http://blogs.solidhouse.com/david.woods/CategoryView,category,SQL%20Reporting%20Services.aspx which specifies a example for using shared datasources. It tries to execute a method setReportDataSources() on a instance variable rs which should be type ReportingService (the variable is not declared). But when the script is executed a rs variable is already declared to be of type : Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Handle CRTL+A with a ListBox

  I'd like to handle CTRL+A in my ListBox to select all the items. I check for Keys.A in the KeyDown event of the ListBox and then check if control was pressed. If so I select all the items in the list. This is working. However even though I'm setting e.Handled = true the key is bubbling up and then it selects the first item in my list that starts with the letter A thus unselecting everything else. private void lstImages_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { switch (e.KeyCode) { ... other key checks removed ..... case Keys.A: if (e.Control) { SelectAll(); e.Handled = true; } break; } } Ok, got it.

• Visual C++ Using _CrtSetAllocHook - How to match up allocations and deallocations?

  I'm tracking down a memory retention issue in my application. I'm using the _CrtSetAllocHook function to call my own hook function. This is working just fine. However, I can't figure out how to match up the allocations and deallocations to see what is allocating without deallocating. When my app closes down, the offending code cleans up after itself and no leaks are reported. So I need to determine where all memory allocations are happening and find the culprit. Here's the signature for the Hook function: int __cdecl MyDumpClientHook( int nAllocType, void * pvData, size_t nSize, int nBlockUse, long lRequest, const unsigned char * szFileName, i ...Show All
