• Visual Basic Define Class?

  I dont know if thats the right thing to say or not being I'm still green, but If I had a calculation that I needed to do often, is there a way t o make that (Public(Dont know if thats right or not)) I am wanting not to have to type the calculation over and over just wanting to put it in one place and refer to it if possible. Then how would you call it Davids Learning Hi, you can do like this: Class Calculator Public Shared Function Add( ByVal val1 As Integer , ByVal val2 As Integer ) As Integer Return val1 + val2 End Function End Class And call it like this: Console.WriteLine(Calculator.Add(10, 5)) Hope this helps ...Show All

• Smart Device Development vs2005 compiler is fatally flawed: generates bad code

  In this very simple excerpted code, the compiler fails to do its job.  If you want it recreated, I propose someone there try to recreate it.  I've already got it happening here.  It's as simple as it gets.  From the type of failure, it looks like it's going to happen a lot. r12 is assigned the address of mc.decodePriority only if gDecodeMaxPriority >= 3, yet it, r12, is still used as the store address when it is not >= 3.  r12 is pointing to nowhereland in the code below, when, for example, gDecodeMaxPriority is 0.               if (mc.inWaveMode != 2) {  // not if in CopyFile mode 0009637C  add        ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) possible release timeframe guidence

  we have been testing Ling for SQL and are super impressed by the capabilities. e.g I was able to take an 8 Page Stored proc and reduce it to 20 lines of C#. This is a tool that can used to refactor most of an organization that is trapped in SQL Hell. However we can not make a move to spread Linq till we know more of pending target for release (even a RC build would satisfy us). Any guidence in this area would let us take a more aggressive approach to deploying Linq. I have around for a long time (too long) and technology is the most exciting stuff I have seen in years.In my opinion as an architect at this organization it is waste of time to explore other ORM like products but at this stage we have to choice. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with dtutil hanging

  I am using a script to copy a number of packages (50+) from my desktop computer (file system) to a remote server (MSDB). The script works fine, but I can never get through the entire script without it hanging up. Some times only 3-4 packages get copied, sometimes a lot more. If I close the windows cmd window and restart at the point it hung, it continues, but usually hangs up again. If you repeat this 2 or 3 times, it eventually gets all of the packages copied. It does not always hang at the same point. I have tried doing the copies with "quiet" mode - overwriting the existing packages and I have tried first deleting the packages, then copying - doesn't make a difference. I have also tried moving the packages to a couple of diffe ...Show All

• .NET Development Garbage Collection never collects garbage from generation 2 (finally resulting in OutOfMemory exception)

  Hi, I have been searching the net for many hours trying to solve my problem. Since many questions regarding the GC are answered here I hope you can help me. We have built an web application based on ASP.NET (v1.1), the enterprise library (ie caching and logging blocks) and a custom framework. The problem is that the w3wp.exe process keeps growing and growing untill it recycles around 600 MB. When monitoring the heaps I discovered that the heap basically only grows, expect for some small memory releases now and then. I used windbg to analyse a memory dump (created on the moment of recycling). It seems that many objects reside in the generation 2 heap while not having any references to other objects. There are for instance 2000 dataset objec ...Show All

• SQL Server Cube deployment issue SSAS 2005

  Hello all, I got an issue with deploying my cube. I am new to SSAS 2005, and I cannot find the option to define which account to use with deploying. I managed to choose the server for deployment, but strangely enough, no user can be selected, so when it deploys, it throws an error stating the standard windows login isn't valid (wich is correct, but I do not want to use standard windows login). Hm, if I try to add the server to 'servers' (BIDS -> Tools -> Add server), it doesn't seem to reckognise SQL Server 2005. Though it does reckognise SQL Server 2000, wich runs on the same server. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using an image as in emedded resouce

  ** Newbie Alert ** I'm trying out some example code from MSDN in an article called " How to: Retrieve an Image that Is an Embedded Resource (Visual C#) " (ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_csexpresscon/html/f42dff1c-6804-4fda-94e5-1e77460a9142.htm) Step 4 says to replace the string with "the name of the resource, as it is known in the assembly." I don't know what that means. I've tried using the resource name I gave it, but I get a runtime error that seems to indicate he couldn't find the resource.

• SQL Server Alternative to binary_checksum?

  I am using binary_checksum to verify dataintegrity between two servers but the algorithm apparently is not strong enough and returns false positives. Are there any alternative algorithms that can be used instead of or combined with binary_checksum I am running on SQL Server 2000. Rgds Bertrand Thank you, you have a point there. I would still like to experiment with a new user defined function for calculating alternative checksums. I have different checksum algorithms available but I need to find out how to create a user defined function that behaves as the BINARY_CHECKSUM function. E.g. it should take * as an argument and compute on the entire record contents. Do you have any suggestions ...Show All
