• .NET Development Best/fastest way to save a large DataTable a database?

  Hey, Whats the best way to save a rather large DataTable to a database It consists of roughly 60 columns and 15 thousand records (6MB of raw text). I was thinking of using a stored procedure but would that give any performance increases on an operation like this Thanks! Regards, Weiran. What your stored procedure looks like It is actually too slow in your case. I was able to export 30M in about 30 secords on my slow PC (Celeron 1.7 with 256M of memory). It is definitely something wrong with the stored procedure or table ...Show All

• SQL Server Role Playing Dimensions

  What is the proper way to include the date dimension table into your DSV if you plan on using multiple role-playing dimensions It seems if you can use this dimension as a role playing dimension, and assign the "join" using the Dimension Usage tab, then it doesn't need to be joined to the fact table in the DSV... is that correct Or should you add the Date Dim table to the DSV and join it to every date-specific fact foreign keys I see three possibilities for the DSV: 1) Include the Date Dim table but not join to any other table in the DSV 2) Include the Date Dim table and join to at least one fact foreign key 3) Include the Date Dim table and join to all fact foreign keys for dates in the DSV Which method would be th ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data type

  HI. I'm having this problem. I use Visual Studio's, integration project to load XML file into SQL Server. In the XML file, i have defined collumns as string.

• Smart Device Development Struct and bytes array

  Hello! There are some problems with put struct on bytes array in CompactFramework. I try to use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but it does not work in PocketPC, because attribute FieldOffset() can't work with non intersect fields in my structure(field alignment requirements ). Please, prompt me what other way exists. Thanks! No, P/Invoke is not affected by that because alignment rules on managed and native sides are the same. Your structure does not have alignment issues. Also you don't need Struct field and you probably don't need any FieldOffset() attributes at all since your offsets are matching natural element size. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding to the Binding.XPath property

  Hello I need to be able to bind to the XPath property of a binding object, but i can't because XPath isn't a DependencyProperty. Does anyone know of a sneaky way around this the following doesn't work but illustrates what i'm trying to do... <TextBox> <TextBox.Text> <Binding XPath="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=Something.HelloWorld}" /> </TextBox.Text> </TextBox> Hi Mark. Thank you for your response. I did try using OneWayToSource but it still complains that Binding.XPath isn't a DependencyProperty on a DependencyObject. Perhaps I'm setting it up wrong (I've had a good look at www.beacosta.com but not found anything on binding to binding objects - of course there may be a good reason ...Show All
