• Windows Forms DateTime format problem in SQL query...

  Hi! I have a DataGridView connected to a dataset and I 've already created a query which searches the entire database in order to extract rows with a certain date. The user enters the desirable date in a textbox. But there is a problem with the date format: I've found that when i enter the date in the following format: MM/dd/yyyy it works fine.But wherever i am using this format: dd/MM/yyyy Visual Studio generates the following error: ''An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll Additional information: The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.'' Any help how to overcome this problem ...Show All

• Architecture Hosting Long Running Batch Processes In IIS 6

  I am currently architecting a framework that will depend on IIS to host batch oriented code. The design will use a disconnected model with a controller (that lives remotely) and checks back periodically via an ASMX layer. When invoking the actual batch execution code the ASMX call will spawn as many threads as it is configured to run and immediately respond (hence avoiding any long running HTTP connection). I like the idea for a number of reasons, obviously I get to use a standard communication protocol to invoke the batch code across tiers and I can even incorporate standard load balancing routines. I'm also able to use the same communication end points to check back in on the threads as they are executing. There are also a number of o ...Show All

  Hi, please take a look below private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { e.Graphics = oldPicture.CreateGraphics(); } However, above scripts throw Exception "Property or indexer 'System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs.Graphics' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only" How can I replace the graphics of pictureBox1 to picture1.CreateGraphics(); I think it can be done by turning into bitmap Graphics offScreenDC = picCapture.CreateGraphics(); Bitmap offScreenBmp = new Bitmap(this.width, this.height, offScreenDC); pictureBox1.Image = offScreenBmp; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Create a UserControl

  I am following a tutorial on how to open a directory and show all the pictures inside as thumbnails. Below is the last paragraph so I thought, for my purposes, I would try to create a control so that I can use it in other programs in the future. I have now done everything I need, what I don't know is how to make it a dll so can someone show me how I compile it to a dll please You can use this control in any of your projects by adding the Thumbnail control source code to it. Alternatively you can create a UserControl project that contains the finished thumbnail control and compile it to a DLL. You may then either add the compiled user control to any of your projects as a reference or add it to your toolbox and use it in the Visual ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Handling Multiple forms

  I have Form1 which is my main form and is a clone of the Free Cell game. When the game is won, I have Dim N As New GameWonBackground N.Show() The second form is a background on which I will display a 3rd Form which asks the user if he wants to play again, select a game, etc. In the Load procedure of the Background form, I call the 3rd form Dim W As NewGameOver W.TopLevel = False W.Parent = Me W.Show() I got this from another discussion on the forum and it works fine to bring up the 3rd form on top of the Background form. I do a couple other things in the Load procedure for the Background form such as set the pictures for the 4 kings in the correct order, but there are no other procedures or click ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Source and Destination Performance

  Given the following scenario, what kind of performance should be expected in transferring about half a million rows We are seeing about a 9 minute execution time. Is this reasonable for about 460,000 records moving from source to target, with 3 inner joins from the source Source: Server A.OLTPDB Target: ServerA.DataMartDB Server A is running SQL Server 2000. SSIS is running on a different machine, Server B. The reason for this is that we are distributing the SSIS package for use with a BI product built on SSAS 2005 and the requirements are such that the client could very well have the source OLTP database on a different physical machine than the data mart. My understanding is therefore that: 1. SSIS will do all of the hea ...Show All

• SQL Server Trigger- dump 'inserted' table to temp table

  I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare). Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names You could do below: select * into #i from inserted select * into #d from deleted But what are you trying to do in your SP with this temporary table Can you explain what you are trying to achieve by calling one SP from multiple triggers You still have to know the columns that you want to operate upon ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with DataGridBoolColumn in the DataGrid

  I am using a DataGridBoolColumn in my datagrid. I am binding a boolean column of the table to this. Right now it is displaying the CheckBox in the column. The problem I have is I have to select the DataGrid row first and then the CheckBox to select or unselect the CheckBox essentially making it a double-click to select/unselect a CheckBox. Is there a way to select/unselect the CheckBox with just one click Thanks Basani private void dgWP_MouseUp( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = dgWP.HitTest(e.X, e.Y); try { if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell && hti.Column == 0) dgWP[hti.Row, hti.Column] = !( bool )dgWP[hti.Row, hti.Column]; ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Threaded window with page.

  I've included a dumbed down code sample of what I'm trying to do below. I 'm building an loading screen with WPF. I need a window that contains an XAML page running on a seperate thread from my main application. While items load I would like to update a progress bar located within the XAML page. Basically I'm trying to do something like LoadingScreen.Open, do some loading, LoadingScreen.UpdateUI, do some more loading, LoadingScreen.UpdateUI, finish things up, LoadingScreen.Close. Periodically the application seems to hang once the call to close is made. I have recieved both LoaderLock and ContextSwitchDeadlock exceptions from time to time. I have possibly narrowed down the issue to the way I am sending the UI the data via the UpdateUI m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New Company/No Structure

  Hello Everyone, I have been a software engineer for several years. I have recently taken a position as a sr developer with a large company. The company has several large systems, none of which have any documentation whatsoever. Some of the team members are familiar with a strctured analysis and design but many are not. I have used the MSF for several years and have used the UML, ERDs and some process modeling for most of the projects I have worked on. Given this fact they would like me to partake in the implementation of this methodology and would like to do this with a new, very large, cross departmental business critical application. Given the current infrastructure, I have immense concerns for the project success and how I should pro ...Show All
