• .NET Development How to randomly delete 1 row from a DB ?

  Hello, I'm writing a program with the help of VB 2005 Express. It is connected to a DB using SQL Express Server 2005. In my program I want to randomly delete some rows from the table. I use the VB code: Dim WhichOne As Integer = rnd() * 40 (where 40 is the amount of entries in the DB) Dim DeleteQuery As String = "DELETE * FROM Table LIMIT '" & WhichToDelete & "', '1'" Dim DeleteCommand As New SqlCommand(DeleteQuery, myConnection) DeleteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() If for example WhichOne = 17, it should execute an SQL query: DELETE * FROM Table LIMIT '17', '1' Which imo should delete the 17th entry in the table. Now I get an error on the execution of the SQL command, but what is it that I'm doing wrong ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Opening a project takes 7 minutes at 100% CPU util./

  I have a project that is connected to TFS we have about 80 tables 40 Views and 200 SPs. The project takes about 7 minutes to load in VS. I am using Pentium 4 at 2.8GHz and 1 GB of ram. To me this is unaceptable, is there something I can do to speed up the load of large projects Rafet I like the product. It has features I have been looking for, for a long time in Visual Studio. ... but I have used DB Pro (CTP5) to add a project with 600 tables + 100's of procedures to source control (using Team Foundation Server as source control). The perfomance when working with this project is really poor.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XOR pen

• Visual Studio Team System Branching across projects

  I'm looking for current thoughts regarding branching across team projects and support where you have common components that live in separate team projects. To keep this "simple" let's assume the following: Common Library projects - each contain a number of projects that are intendeded to be used by multiple "Products" CommonProjectA CommonProjectB "Products" - These are the end products, and each use either A/B or A&B - Each can release together or at different times ProductA ProductB ProductC - "C" agregates and depends on Product A & B of a consistent release Each Product A , B and C each have their own solution file that includes the relavent projects from CommonProject ...Show All

• Visual C# Running Task Manager -Problems-

  Hey i am having trouble accesing my task manager when i press the ctrl+alt+del buttons nothing pops up. I have tried to access the task manager via control panel but it still does not work, giving me an error that reads some nonsense about the file being in use. I have tried the regedit option and it does not work and i am hoping the a system restore will be my last resort. Please help me. This question has nothing to do with the C# IDE and so is off topic in this forum. It also has nothing to do with programming, which makes it off topic in all these forums. CTRL-Shift-ESC is how you bring up the task manager. But, it sounds like you've got issues. You just need to find a hardware focused forum to find help. ...Show All

• SQL Server sysdepends - drop table - sysdepends information goes away

  I have a system whereby we create lookup tables on a nightly basis. Originally this was not a problem because initially someone had written the procedure to delete the data and then re-populate using a server side cursor. Due to scheduled production problems with the procedures taking too much time, I changed the code to simply drop the table and re-create the table and re-index in the nightly job. Though this resolved our speed issues in a number of cases, I've now run into a new interesting twist. The sysdepends table no longer retains reference to the stored procedure. I did find this interesting document in the support.microsoft.com site. BUG: Recreating a Table Causes sysdepends to Become Invalid View products tha ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Server information question

  Hello, I have been learning about how to use the ASP .NET runtime and use the httplistener class. Most of the examples are in C#, but I use VB. I have tried to interpret the code, but it is making it hard to understand the process because I spend so much effort translating it. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a book that covers this type of information in Visual Basic 2005. I have looked on Amazon.com, but haven't found anything specific to this area. I want to create a simple web server for my program, and I could use the examples that I have found in C#, but I want to have a complete knowledge of the entire process since I will have to support the application. Thank you for your help. If you just want a sample of HT ...Show All
