• Visual Studio TextEditor: How to Regain Edit Position upon window reactivate

  Is there a way to ensure that when the window regains focus the previous cursor position is regained instead of the cursor position changing to where clicked I only want the position to change if the window already has focus (is active). Example: Cursor is at EOL on line 6. I click into some tool window and no longer see a cursor position in the text edit window. Bad already. But even worse is: When I click back into the text editor window - line 15 then my cursor is there at line 15. It should go back to line 6 where I left off. THEN if I click again on line 15 it should go there. -Marc- That is what I am asking for help to do. When the TextEditor looses ActiveWindow ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro CursorAdapters and UDF in FoxPro 9

  Hi, I like to know if is possible to create a Cursoradapter (ADO) with a select CMD using a function. For example if I have a function concat(par1,par2) that returns par1+par2. I like to use as select command something like select concat(lastname,firstname) as name from personal Thanks Ivan It all depends on the provider. If function is a VFP function (either built-in or UDF, SP etc) then VFPOLEDB provider would understand it. Otherwise another provider wouldn't know what that concat() is. IOW if you're using say SQL server provider then you should pass anything in MSSQL's language (T-SQL). ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unicode data in Jet 3.0 DB

  Hi All, I'm trying to extract some values form a Jet 3.0(maybe lower) DB created by a tool called Microsoft LocStudio. It has a .edb file extension. The columns I'm trying to pull seems to have characters encoded in Unicode, they don't show up property in Server Explorer. Using oledatareader I'm still able to read them as strings but they're truncated(probably because of the null byte), I've also tried to use Encoding.GetBytes(), it seems to work as long as the characters are in ascii, but once it hits foreign characters some chars does not display properly. Has anyone worked with this kind of file before or does anyone know a way to access the fields as raw bytes(i.e without any conversion from the engine, DataReader.GetByte() didn't w ...Show All

• Visual C++ Lesser evil in linking?

  Hi, I have a native C/C++-program I should compile and link in VS2005. However, the program uses a dll that has been compiled in VS2003 and uses mfc71. So I'll have to include mfc71, which brings to my question, which is the lesser evil 1) Compiling and linking the program with VS2005, with crt8 and mfc71. 2) Compiling and linking the program with VS2005, but with crt71 and mfc71. 1) Works as far as I've tested, but Edit & Continue has this comment: c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\crtdefs.h(1724) : warning C4656: 'threadlocaleinfostruct' : data type is new or has changed since the latest build, or is defined differently elsewhere 2) Seems to work, if I disable the C++ exceptions, otherwise there are linking erro ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging difference between Designer and SQL Agent package executions

  After fine-tuning my package logging, I built a query against SYSDTSLOG9 that uses the combination of the OnPreExecute events and any subsequent event for each task to build a nice view of a package in progress, including the duration of each event. (Running tasks would have a row with a NULL EndTime.) When running the package within the Designer, everything works as expected. Events are logged at the task level and everything bubbles-up to the package level. However, when I run the package from SQL Agent (using the SSIS job step), none of my OnPreExecute or sub-component events are written. That is, I only get package-level OnInformation, OnPostExecute and OnError events. This means when the job/package is executing, I can't directly see ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Calling a WCF Service from a cluster machine which is part of NLB ...

  I have an application that hosts 2 services, service1 and service2 that is hosted in 2 machines that are part of a NLB cluster that does load balancing through muticast. If i access the services from a remote machine using the cluster IP address, it is load balanced properly. But i have a strange requirement where one of the service (Service1) needs to create instances of the other service(Service2) and want that to be load balanced. So in Service1, i created a proxy for Service2 (using svcutil) and create the Service2Client object using the cluster address as the endpoint address. In this case, even though i access the second service always using the IP address of the cluster, it is not load balanced. It always hits the same machine from ...Show All

• .NET Development oracle guids little endian, big endian problem

  hello every one, I am having an strange issue. I am developing a .net app against an Oracle DB. Well, when I insert a guid into a raw oracle changes the order of the byte array. In VB.net I see (with all the representations of guids, with or without {,- or whatever): ac6d5c4f-542e-4fc8-b8b6-f53821811be3 In Oracle I see (tested with toad and sql tools): 4F5C6DAC2E54C84FB8B6F53821811BE3 It goes ok with the rightests numbers but fails the the leftests. Any suggestion I see with SQL Server that order of bytes is different with binary representation of guid as well: create table guidtest ( f1 uniqueidentifier ) insert into guidtest ( f1 ) values ( 'aabbccdd-1122-3344-5566-77889900ee ...Show All
