• Gadgets How to get Market information when add gadget by URL "http://www.live.com/?add=http://xxx/xxx.xml"?

  When I add a gadget by inputing URL for example ' http://www.live.com/ add=http://xxx/xxx.xml ', I can't get the correct market information but it gives me "en-us" all the time as I set the language in live.com is Chinese which's market information is "zh-cn". So is this a bug in the live.com Or is there any other ways to get the correct market information Ps: getLanguage() and getLocal() methods will return null in this situation. Thanks Starlet, I use the M_CultureVariable_Text to retrieve the market information on live.com. It's available for use, just reference it. ...Show All

• Visual C# How to show a form inside another form?

  Hi all, I'm a Borland Delphi developer and I'm trying to become a C# developer too. With Delphi, I can show a form's content inside a panel that is contained in the Main Form.

• SQL Server case expression plus outer join in ole db source

  I'm trying to generate the data for a 2-column table, where both columns are defined as NOT NULL and the second column is a uniqueidentifier. In SQL Server Management Studio, this works fine: insert into table_3(column_a, column_b) select table_1.column_a, (case when table_2.column_b is NULL then newid() else table_2.column_b end) as column_b from table_1 left outer join table_2 on table_1.column_c = table_2.column_c That is, column_b of the SELECT result has no NULL values, and all 35,986 rows are successfully inserted into a previously empty table_3. (If I comment out the INSERT INTO clause and project table_2.column_b instead of "(case ... end) as column_b", the SELECT result includes 380 rows with a NULL in column_b ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2005 cannot add ATL Simple Object into a ATL Project?

• Visual Basic what type of collection to use?

  I have a collection of type System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection, which is great for getting the value of each item using either the Key or Index. However, I also need to be able to get the Name of a Key using it's index, and this doesn't seem possible with this type of collection. The only way I can see to do it is by keeping two collections going, the second with the name of the key in the first collection, that can't be right! Anyone out there who knows about collections can tell me a better way Thanks While setting up an example of the inherited class I noticed that the namevalue collection has a getkey(byval Index as integer) method which will return the name of the key by index...is ...Show All
