• .NET Development delete line in xml file?

  Hello I might be doing something odd... I have been working on a c#.net program that gets data from an oracle database and then puts that into an xml file. Insert, delete, update are done to the xml file, and when the user is finished, the information should be sent back to oracle db to update and commit. When a new record is inserted, it is inserted into a separate xml file from the one that has the data from oracle db. Before insert is done both xml files are searched to make sure the record does not already exist. When the record is inserted, it is just appended to the file so the new record is added after the end of the root tag. Next time I try to add a record and a search is done, an error comes up because the end of the roo ...Show All

• SQL Server without checkbox leftside of the dropdown value list of the parameter

  Hi, I believe somebody know the reason. Please help me on it! I plan to pass a multivalued parameter from my web application to the server report, and let user select the value(s) from the value set. But when I run the report, there's no checkbox leftside of the values, that means user has no choice on this parameter. Is there any way to do it Thanks, Jone Hi Jarret, Thank you for your reply! I double checked it. Yes, I checked the 'Multi-value' for this parameter. when I run the report, there's a dropdown value list, but no checkboxes at the leftside of them. Any idea Thanks, Jone ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Item Templates

  Hi all, I'm developing a new project wizard which has to create both new projects and project items according to project and project item templates that we've created and tested. The problem I'm having is this: The new projects are being created correctly with the new template via (Solution2) GetProjectTemplate() but whenever I try to create the project item from its template via (Soluntion2) GetProjectItemTemplate() it throws the following exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException Message: "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)":null Source "EnvDTE80" string As I mentioned both templates have been tested and appear in the proper VS dialogs. It just seems tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LineBreaks or Environment.NewLine -- which is more efficient?

  Quick question: in flow documents, are <LineBreak>s or inlines appended with \r\n more efficient memory/perf wise Thinking simply, I'd guess that the 4 extra bytes within the space allocated for the inline text is a lot cheaper than the extra 8 bytes on the GC heap + 4 bytes for pointer that it costs for a <LineBreak>. But if in rendering it has to do something fancy like convert \r\n to a LineBreak object, <LineBreak> would be cheaper. Thanks in advance, Rei Hmm yeah, except I was thinking there might be some sort of performance differences in terms of measuring text and such. I'm trying to make a log viewer -- I'm thinking I'll have to resort to making a viewer my ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change appearance of toolstrip overflow button?

  Hi there I derived my own class from the toolstrip, to implement a few changes. My toolstrip uses a blue background color. This works fine, but i got a little problem: The overflow button is nearly invisible, until you hover over it with the mouse. It uses the same background color as the toolstrip and only has this little black arrow which is nearly impossible to see with the blue background. I only want to get this button better visible! I tried to change the BackColor and ForeColor properties of the overflow button (which is accessible via toolstrip.OverflowButton), but ForeColor changes nothing at all and BackColor only draws a little line on the button in the desired color. I also tried to write my own ToolstripRenderer. I override th ...Show All

• .NET Development IIS server needs to be restarted.

  Hello All, We have a web application running. But due to some reasons one of the worker process crashes and hence the iis server needs to be restarted. The dmp files were collected to get the reason for this error. Please help me understanding whats the exact error. What i understand from this is: 1)There was problem with threading, as the server was waiting for some object but did'nt got it, and hence an error. 2) SharedUserData!SystemCallStub - this error seems to occur when there is deadlock situation.

• Visual FoxPro How to remove redundant phrase in field?

  Hi all........ I have a table field that contains things such as..... V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT; V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT -I&S MASTER; 7 SUB 2610-139-3704; I&S MASTER; 7 SUB FOR 2610-139-3704 What I need to do is remove the duplicate phrases, leaving only one instance of each phrase in the field. The amount of phrases in the field varies...could be 2 as shown above or there could be 6. I suspect that the 'common denominator' is the semi-colon, but everything I've tried has failed. Any help is greatly appreciated! You may run this for each phrase (I did not tested it!!!): SET EXACT ON STORE 0 TO b STORE 0 TO cnt0 STORE "" TO newf1 STORE "PHRAS ...Show All
