• Visual C# Compare 2 Strings of Diff Length

  I am looking for the fastest comparison which will start from the left of one string, and return true if ALL the characters of the first string match the first x characters of the 2nd string where x is the length of the first string. For example: String s1 = "YI" ; String s2 = "YIPES" ; String s3 = "Y" ; s1 = s2 would return true s1 = s3 would return false This would be part of a larger loop, so I am looking for the fastest comparision method. Regex maybe Many thaks Mike Thomas ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Produce error when running the form

  Hi, When running the form, I got the error. The error is "Error loading file - record number 61. grid_detail < or one of its members>. ControlSource : Alias 'NEWDETAIL' is not found." I'm not sure where i go wrong on my form. Thank you. I ran through the errors in the program and found nothing wrong with the codes. My senior IT said that there is a bug in the Visual Foxpro 6 software itself. The codes in the open file and close file method in the Data Environment has switched places. So have to correct them in the right form method. Now the form runs well. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Winsock and timeout under WM5

  Hi everyone, My application connects to a server using GPRS. Since the application is running in the backgroung, I want to ensure that whenever the user presses the red key (stopping GPRS connection), the appli connects again. I could achieve that but the thing is that now, my server is asked to reply as late as possible (to minimize GPRS traffic). When a request is sent, the appli is waiting for an answer, if I press red button at that time, the application won't connect again. I again there is a failure in the timeout handling in the winsock. I use the command : setsockopt(this->m_iSocket , SOL_SOCKET , SO_RCVTIMEO , (char*)&iTimeOut , sizeof(int) ); to set the timeout, but it seems reading MSDN that SO_RCVTIMEOUT option is not i ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with disconnected recordsets i Yukon

  We have a VB6 application using ADO 2.8 connecting to SQL Server. We use disconnected recordset to load data to client-side. The client does updates in the recordset and then sends it back to server-side component that converts the recordset into SQL to update the database. No problems in SQL 2000 but on Yukon we get error when trying to update the disconnected recordset on the client.   Error: -2147217887 Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.   Error only occurs on recordsets which obviously won't work it was a connected recordset; for example a UNION sql.   Is this the way Yukon is supposed to work Is there anyway to disable this new functionality to really get a ...Show All

  Hi, Since installing the most recent ctp, I get an exception on my old projects. Message="Mismatched versions of PresentationCore.dll, Milcore.dll, WindowsCodecs.dll, or D3d9.dll.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to CreateProcess NOT as administrator

  One of our modules is an executable that will always be run as administrator (after getting permission from user). One of its screens allows the user to run a different executable, which the code currently does by CreateProcess. The problem is that since the first process is running as admin, CreateProcess has the second process run as admin also. This is undesirable because it is a security breach (the second process can open browse dialogs that should not have admin privileges in this scenario). How do I get the second to run without admin privileges I do NOT want attach a manifest to the second exe that says it does not want admin privileges because under certain circumstances (not from the first exe), it SHOULD be run with admin privil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to add Help Balloons to the application

  Hi, I have set the Help Button Property on a form to true. This adds a question button to the form. If I then run the project and click the qustion mark button the move the mouse the question mark follows the mouse pointer to allow me to click on a control to then display help on the control.

• Visual C# Another form or an assembly?

  I am in the process of creating a larger piece of software, more in the design, than implementation. I am trying to find out the best practices. At the same time I am trying to figure out how visual studio can help me in these things. I have a main form, from where I run the other items of my project. Basically a form with buttons that load other forms. Now in my project, a have all these forms now. Would it be a better idea to make this into an assembly per form What I mean is that the main form just loads the correct assembly, when you click a button. Thanks in advance :) Sune P.S. Happy New Year everybody. The reason I am asking is that I will have many different applications running in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to: Implement aggregates with GridView and Grouping

  I'm trying to create a sort of Outline Grid. Where you can group and the Grouped item contains the sum. Eventually I need to include a Min and Max for dates. +/-Group1 20 50 item1 10 40 item2 10 10 I was thinking that extending the CollectionView and CollectionViewGroup might work, but before traveling down that long road I figure I'd see if anyone has had experience with this sort of thing. The goal is so that when you're creating the GroupItem style, you'll be able to reference ItemSum, just like ItemCount that currently exists. There is still an issue as to what column you need to sum, which I haven't really thought out yet. The other issue is that I'll need the group data to refresh when the item data changes. ...Show All
