• .NET Development Reading file size and then store the name, date and size in database

  I'm trying to make a program that basically say that every morning run this directory and scan through all the files. Then record the name, size and the date and then compare with the one that already existed in the database. If everything is match then pop up message say GOOD. If something has been changed then pop up a message say NOT GOOD. But aslo if i know that there was an update on the file so the date has been changed, that program should also have an update function to update the database. For instance File1 800kb 7/18/2006 File 2 1mb 7/17/2006 because this is the first time i run this program so i have to insert this into the data base. so after inserting, the database will have a list of file 2 and 1 with ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath deprecated vs. alternatives and hosting UI controls as plugins

  I’ve posted this reply on the AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath Depricated (sic) thread, but since that thread was marked as answered I realized my post wasn't taking anyone attention at all, so I've started a new thread with this question which is similar to the original thread but goes further in the discussion. The question follows: I’ve designed a plugin architecture that ultimately used AppendPrivatePath, which is now marked obsolete and no equivalent solution exists. I understand the motivation to make Assembly resolution predictable, but I really do not think it was so much of a problem, unless Assembly failures started to be cached, which is what 2.0 seems to be doing :-) The workaround/solution (depends on your view point) is to ...Show All

• Visual C++ Asked for VC 7.1 libraries when compiling a project in VC 8

  Hi folks: I encountered a problem when I was compiling a VC++ 8 project convered from .NET 2003 in Visual Studio 2005. When the process came down to link stage, the VS 2005 IDE asked for some version 7 VS libraries such as "mfc71.lib", "mfcs71.lib", "libc.lib", etc, which are not included in VS 2005. Could anybody provide any hints for cracking this problem. Thanks a lot in advance. Jason Yes you're right Ayman. My base project is built as a Win32 application with "Use of MFC in a Shared DLL" option. Its runtime library option is thus selected as "Multi-threaded DLL(MD)". The compilation options of some of the referred libraries were not compliant ...Show All

• SQL Server how to fix report layout problems

  When you use Report designer in the BI development studio, on the Preview tab, you can have a straight preview or a print layout preview. I suppose what you see in the print layout preview is what you get when you print the report or export the report to the other format. However, often you see everything looks perfect in a straight preview but does look right in the print layout preview . For example, you might get the following problems in the print layout preview, even if everything looks perfect in a straight preview. · Every even page is a blank page · Items that should be together on the same page are separated into different pages. For example, on the first page, I had a TextBox1 followed by Image1 then foll ...Show All
