• Visual Basic How to receive output from a command line program?

  I'm working on a GUI for the Valve Half-Live Dedicated Server Software, to make it easier for me to make a server. The software contains a command-line updater, that outputs its progress as it updates. How do I start the updater running, capture the output each time a line is outputted, and provide the user with a means of cancelling the process Thank you so much for your reply. That's exactly what I was looking for. I had to modify the code slightly to allow my software to read the output as it is outptted, rather than at the end of the process, but it works fine now. However, when the process is started, a large command-line window appears, obscuring the window. How do I cause it to start minimized ...Show All

• .NET Development VB 2005 - Copy row contents to another row in the same DataSet

  Hi, How can I copy the contents from one row to another in the same DataSet I'm using the TabelAdapter to fill the DataSets. For example: I've 2 existing rows and need to copy the contents (all fields) from one row to another. Then, before update change the key field so I don't have any problems. I've tryied to use the ItemArray but don't know how to load it to another existing row. Can someone help Thanks. Pedro You can assign the value of each field of a row directly by using datarow [ i ]  = value... ItemArray is just a copy of the objects of the datarow and changing it won't affect the original datarow. ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2 Forms... 1 calls to 2..2 shows...2 button clicked to add.. problem !!

  Hello, I have programmed java before but i am new to VB.net.. so this is what has been going on.. Form 1 has a button and combobox. On button click.. Dim obj as new Form2() obj.ShowDialog() Form 2 pops up ! Form 2 has a button called add. on button(add) click.. Dim obj2 as new Form1() obj2.ComboBox1.Items.Add("Hello") And nothing works I wonder why Instead of creating a new Form1() inside form2, try passing Form1 to the constructor of Form2: Dim obj as new Form2(Me) Inside the constructor, store the form in a member variable. Then on the button click, use the reference that you stored to add an item to the combobox. Sub New( x as Form1 ) Me.form1 = x On button(add) click Me.form1.C ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Agent System Stored Procedures and sp_Recompile

  Hello, We are trying to be proactive and stop a potential performance issue by reducing the number of recompiles in our SQL 2000 database application. This database is replicated. After viewing output from Profiler and PerfMon it seems that over 90% of the recompiles are due to system stored procedures generated by replication merge agents. Can anything be done about this Thanks The databases are setup to use push merge replication with the polling interval set to every 15 seconds. It is replicating 4 databases to one subscriber. The procs that are involved are the ones generated by the merge agent when you set up replication. Hope this helps! ...Show All

• SQL Server Clustering Options

  What options do I have to cluster SQL server 2005 Currently we have three servers that can be used for the cluster. We currently don't have any shared storage, but plan on getting a SAN down the road. What do you guys recommend I would like to have some redundancy in the database server. I'm not sure what's is what you want to do. A Cluster solution involves a cross wire between two server at minimun or a SAN array. On the other hand, we have the next High Aviability options in SQL 2005: Database Mirroring Log Shipping Database Mirroring and Log Shipping require at least two server and more depending on the configuration you want to select: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms19020 ...Show All

• SQL Server Show dimension members only if there is data associated with them

  Hello, Is it possible to set-up dimensions to contain only members that have a match in the fact table I would like the dimensions pull-downs to show only members with data. Thanks, Philippe I guess I have found a way to create the dynamic filter I need. My Customer dimension is down to 14000 leaf members from 37000. I have replaced the dimension table by a named query that joins to the fact table. I have something like that in my DSV; SELECT c.Cust_cd, c.Cust_Desc .......... FROM dim_Customers c INNER JOIN meta_SalesHistory s ON c.Cust_cd = s.Cust_cd OR c.Cust_cD = s.BRCust_cd It slows down a little the dimension processing however I find this to be a minor downside. It avoids ...Show All

• Windows Forms Redistribution of "standard" toolbar icons?

  Are the "standard" toolbar icons (the "save" disk icon, cut, copy, paste icons, et cetera) that appear in just about every application installed somewhere with Visual Studio (I'm using standard edition, 2005) It seems like everybody's applications but mine get to use these standard icons; I can't find an obvious way to add them to my forms via the C# form designer. Does everybody else just rip them out of applications using Print Screen and MS Paint That strikes me as rather illegal unless they've been released for redistribution -- in which case I'd imagine they'd be a little easier to find... but I can't find them.

• Visual FoxPro Setting a date in VP 6

  I want to set a date field to zeros I use to use "replace datefield" with {"00/00/00"} but vp 6 doesn't like it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks A date filled with zeroes is meaningless and not a valid date. If you want to show no date, you could either  set it to empty with Replace DateField with {} (this is a VFP concept, not transferable to SQL Server or other DB) or set it to null. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft.XNA.Framework.Curve

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone had looked at or used the Curve Class yet. I am having difficulty working out how to use it, perhap anyone could shed any light. I was thinking initially that it is a beizer curve type class, but I can't see co-ordinate information for the control points. All I can see is that CurveKeys have a value and a posistion, presumably between 0-1. Is the value the "y" position on a graph and the x is the position. Has anyone any more information that I can read in to determine what to use a curve for. Kind Regards, Paul Kinlan www.kinlan.co.uk Andy, just to put my 2 cents in... I haven't worked with curves very much (so I can't really speak to the interfaces), but I prefer aggrega ...Show All

• SQL Server Using detached database...

  Hello, I currently have an application that uses a Access/JET database for a desktop application. The application is single-user and outside of a few corrupt MDBs occasionally, the setup is working fine. I am thinking about switching out from using the Access database to using a SQL Server Express detached database. I'm not sure if this is a "proper" usage of a detached database, but I've verified that I can access and query a detached one... Is this something that is recommended Are there any performance issues associated with it (I believe the detached would be faster than the JET database.) What kind of maintainence would be needed for the SQL Server file (I currently have a "Repair and Compact" option for the Acce ...Show All
