• SQL Server SQL CE top/limit, unable to find WORKABLE solution

  Hi all, I'm being driven to distraction by my inability to find a workable solution here, i'll try and lay out my problem as simple as possible: My application analyses sentence structure, it stores hundreds of thousands of web pages, and stores all the words on those pages sequentially in a database with a primary id, the id of the page the word is from, and the word itself of course. ie : id , parent_id , word What i'm trying to do (which already works successfully in both SQL and MySQL) is to retrieve the word immediately before the one I specify and 3 words after the word I specify. Ideally in one union query but i'll accept it if that's too complex and go for two for now. Because of the sheer size of the database ( millions of keyword ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rolebased Security & controls

  Hello, For my WPF application, I need to use rolebased security to: a) Disable buttons b) Make controls readonly or read/write I'm planning to use an access matrix for each role. Each control has a boolean that indicates if it is enabled or if it is readonly. It just seems like a lot of work, and lot of binding code (in xaml-binding and cs-properties). aya-yaya... Is there a way out of this Is there a better approach Thanks Houman Mike, Embedding role-based security concerns into commands would definitely centralize that aspect of an application's UI. That's a great idea. How do you see attached properties fitting into that design I suppose that Houmann's scenario would r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to convert char string to Unicode?

  Hi -- I'm looking for a simple way to convert an ASCII string to Unicode. More specifically, I've got a function that starts out... int main (int argc, char *argv[]) And I need argv[1] converted to Unicode because I want to feed that string (it's a file name) to a Win32 API call SetNamedSecurityInfoW, which requires a filename (logically) but needs it in Unicode. I have tried using MultiByteToWideChar, but it doesn't like my argv[1]. Any help would be much appreciated. MultiByteToWideChar requires the target (pwszFileName) to be writable - LPCWSTR is equivalent to const unsigned short* (or const wchar_t*) - which is not writable. You should declare pwszFileName as LPWSTR not LPCWSTR. Note: ...Show All
