• .NET Development Wich is faster? In relation to how I build my business objects

  I kow for a solid comparison between using datareaders and datasets I will have to perform that myself. But for now I will be utilizing datasets... What I am doing is currently utilizing assemblies to create my datasets ahead of time. I will eventually compile them as dlls. I'm just utilizing assemblies during my building/testing fase. My questions is: Is it faster to completely build the datasets and all needed connections inside the assemblies/dlls and fill them Or to build the datasets and connections as a sub procedure that can be accessed and then fill them as each required set of data is needed I ask because I will be having many different data connections and so I'm not sure if it's faster to explicitly build/fill almos ...Show All

If that doesn't resolve it use Fiddler to get an HTTP trace from the client side. The other common cause is that the Widgets folder isn't accessible on the server. Cheers, Colin ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS is truncating data being migrated from mainframe

  I have data on the mainframe that contains special characters such as a copyright symbol (letter c with a circle) when running the SSIS package migration from mainframe database to SQL Server 2005 database the data in the column is truncated at the point it hits this symbol with no errors. I had error reports set up for truncation and did not see an error report for this. I have tried to change the data type to different data types and re-run nothing changes things. The symbol is a EBCDIC 'b4' on the mainframe side - I have no idea what that would translate to. Anyone have any ideas Am I stuck with substituting something else for the symbol on the mainframe side and re-running the package Is there anyway to handle this situatio ...Show All

• SQL Server How create named set across dimensions...

  If I want to create a named set for a set of "accounts" that limits the accounts to a subset based on two other dimensions, how do I do it I tried... CREATE SET [Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast] AS { ([Accounts].[Account].Members, [Sales Region].&[NorthEast], [Date Account Created].[Is Last 30 Days].&[True] ) And it returned the right set of subset of accounts, but I ran into two problems: 1) in addition to the account column showing up in query results, it returned the [Sales Region] and [Date Account Created] columns, which in retrospect makes sense because the "dimensionality" of the set includes all three dimensions. and because of this, 2) when I try to use the set in Excel ...Show All

  My game is now ready for 360 Super Stardom.. but i need to save high scores to make the replay value higher. Please could someone point me in the right direction of saving files and high scores I'm glad I searched before posting... One more question though, how do we save in regards to the logged in profile For example, Marble Blast Ultra saves the user's best times without asking for a name or anything. Is there a way for us to determine the current user so that we are able to do this as well or is that something likely coming along with the Live support ...Show All

• Visual C++ IsWindow(m_hWnd) asserstion fails when doing Create(hWnd)

  Hi, My application has a dialog which works fine as long as code containing hWnd = ::GetActiveWindow(), Create(hWnd) belongs to the same project that initiates the dialog. However, I'm trying to seperate the diaglog from the big project because several other projects reuse the code, and it fails with assertion error. (I created the seperate project as library that will be linked from the original project) GetLastError() shows 1813 which says "The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file." I am positive all resource related informations are intact.(rc and resource.h files) The dialog class also uses ATL and I made both projects ATL application projects and specified 'ATL static link' Thanks for help in advance. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I get the event when a Form is loaded and shown on the screen?

  I have a form that takes a long time to load due to some data that is being loaded on the OnLoad event. This makes the application unresponsive when the form is being opened. So what I want to do is to display a panel on top of the form that shows "LOADING..." until the form is finished loadong. The problem is that I want to start the time consuming function only after the form has been loaded and shown on the screen but I have no event for that.. Ways to solve the problem: 1. Call a BackgroundWorker thread for the time consuming function. The problem is that if the time consuming function is updating the GUI then i need to create a delegate for every change that it wants to perform on the GUI and it might also make the GUI lo ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting timeout issues

  Are there any known workarounds for the really annoying lengthy remoting timeouts on down servers This is particularly a problem when using .Net remoting and the server isn't available, it can take up to 2-3 minutes for the line of code to timeout when accessing a remote object. I have tried implementing a Ping class before I access the object, but sometimes this just doesn't work if the server is in the process of shutting down... Obviously having an application hang for that long is unacceptable.. I am threading everything however my application will not cleanly close if the thread is hung waiting for a socket timeout. A sample for you.. We "solved" this proble like this: The remoting server has a Method called Ping ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem checking out binaries

  I am trying to write a custom task to check out my binaries and then check them back in. I am having trouble with the "itemspec" part of the command line. I will be building this on the build machine and there is no workspace on there. So I was wondering if I am to use the workspace where the files are downloaded to (BuildDirectoryPath) Any ideas If you're going to try this in a custom task, I would suggest using the version control object model, rather than calling out to the command-line.
