• SQL Server Problem with inconsistent report data

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I: add favorites? History?

  Hello all I have another question. I would like to know how to add favorites to a Menu strip item (like in Internet Explorer, how it has favorites).

• Visual C# best way to read pipe delimited text file?

  I am trying to read in a pipe delimited file and do certain processing for each field. I was just wondering what the best way to strip out each field is - is there anything built in .Net that will easily allow me to do this Or do I just loop through and remove each field myself Also, would it be best to strip each field out into a dataset first, and then do the processing Or, do the processing while I am separating each field Or does it not matter Thanks! Saeed yes you can and this is what it does...you are inserting 1 row of data at a time in the datatable, so when you update the database it will update it with those rows. Now, to me, it seems as if you have less columns in SQL database or data ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System after adding a hierarchy, it disappears again 'just like that'

  Hi, Something we really missed when switching to Team Foundation was to notion of 'user groups'. We track the expected load on e.g. the QA group with e.g. queries like "how much tasks are now assigned to people that belong to the QA group ". Now, to implement this, I added: 1) to the databases - a table UserGroup (with an integer as ID, and GroupName as varchar) - a field UserGroup to the table Person (an integer ID) 2) to the warehouse - a relationship between Person.UserGroup and UserGroup.ID (in the data source view) - a hierarchy to the dimension 'Person', with the field GroupName under the field User Group Now, after the necessary rebuilding of the cubes, I can make reports. Dragging happily GroupName fields into my reports ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 1.1 vs .NET 2.0 behaviour with Image fields

  In not .NET 1.1 and 2.0 the System.Type mapping for a SqlDbType of Image is byte[]. If you use this type to create a SqlParameter (with a value of DBNull.Value) and then use this in a SQL statement of the form "Update table Set ImageField = @parm where ......" Then in .NET 1.1 it works, but in 2.0 you get an Exception "nvarchar is incompatible with image" How can you determine the correct System.Type to use for Image fields, and why is the behaviour now different The application code is generic and not tied to specific database designs. Thanks Tony You might create a mapping to map the type to sqldbtype yourself (there might be a utility method to do so). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Resume standby timestamp ??

  Hi, all.......................I have a question about resume from S3 or S4. We use pwrtest.exe and event viewer to measure resume standby time. And we find resume standby time is too long, resume from S3 is about 2.5~3 sec; and S4 is about 2 secs. S3: DriverInitDuration 1922 m sec + BiosInitDuration 540 msec S4: DriverInitDuration 2192 m sec + BiosInitDuration 0 msec But Microsoft strongly recommands the S3 resume duration should be < 2 secs. Because we don't know which driver consume the longest time during resume duration. So is there any tool to measure resume duration for each driver (complete power IRP) Thanks in advance Hi Eddie: Please send an email to onnow@mi ...Show All
