• Visual Studio Express Editions String table resource with static library

  Hi all, I want to use string table resiurce with my static library. Is it possible to embed the resource file in library And as per what I have read, we use Loadstring() method to load the string, but this requires HINSTANCE handle, how do I get it in my library Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Smriti A static library can't have resources, only a .dll or .exe. Surprisingly, VS2005 does actually let you create resources for a .lib, I would never have thought to try it if it wasn't for your question. The linker doesn't know how to handle it though, as you found out... ...Show All

• Visual Basic Online database

  Hi, I have searched these forums and havent found anything that quite answers my questions. here's the deal: Im using Visual Basic 2005 .NET Express Edition. I want to create an online database that my windows application links to. The purpose of my application is for different clans of gaming communities to be able to find other clans so that they can organise 'scrims' (practice matches). The front end of this application has a form with a set of text boxes. One set is for creating a scrim and the other is for finding a scrim. So basically, a person fills in the boxes and uploads their scrim details onto the database. While another person fills in the other boxes and the database is searched with their entries.

• SQL Server Merge Join vs. Lookup vs. Custom Script - which is fastest?

  Very often we have 50'000+ rows which you need to pull values from different source (e.g. CityNames from citycode in Excel file).

So far it has seemed to me merge join is slower than lookup, however, lookup seems to take much longer than i like it to - so i was wondering if creating a script transform would be better solution... Just wanted to get an idea - based on you experience which option do you use ...Show All

• Visual Studio Allocating memory to Visual Studio

  Does anybody know if there is a way to allocate a fixed amount of memory to visual studio using some sort of switch I am trying to work with some very large XML files (~250mb), and that's fine by itself, but any sort of work done on them immediately shoots up the memory usage. Can I specify that I want ~1.5-2 gb of memory dedicated to the VS process Thanks Jacob Short version: No. The CLR manages memory at development time, and I don't believe you can change the way it allocates memory. -Tim <MSFT> ...Show All
