• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook task item maximum size

  How can I find the maximum size limit for the body and contact in outlook task item I am trying to save all the fields(subject, body, due date, start date, etc) entered in outlook task into the database. In order to create a table with columns to hold these field values, I need to know the maximum length/size for each field but I couldn't find this information anywhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ymjoo2007 There is no set limit on the message body. For other standard text fields, like Subject, the Outlook object model can return 255 characters, although more can actually be stored and lower-level APIs can return longer values (so whether you're using the Outlo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help with twister

  I have been looking on the net for random number generators and found something called "Mersenne Twister" on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister . And there you find som pseudocode that I don't fully understand. For example, how do I write this line in C++ : MT[ i ] := last_32bits_of((69069 * MT[i-1]) + 1) And from the second function, how do I write the following code in C++ y := 32nd_bit_of(MT[ i ]) + last_31bits_of(MT[i+1]) Is this the most efficient way of checking if a number is even : if(x % 2 == 0){do something...;} The most confusing parts here are "last_32bits_of", "32nd_bit_of" and "last_31bits_of". I don't really understand what that mean at all. I a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem setting size of Windows Form.

  I have a form that contains a DataGridView, and the form comes up too small for the user to see all the grid. How do I set the size of the form so that the entire grid (or, at least its width) is displayed I've tried the following: 1. Setting AutoSize to true. 2.

• Visual Basic Starting my application automatically

  I need to write an application for a friend that will start automatically when Windows XP Pro boots. The application is very straightforward - 3 buttons and a web browser control. The caveat is the users must not have access to the start button, start menus or any other applications on the system. Also, when the application exits the computer needs to shut down. I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express. Thanks, Mark It sounds like you are wanting a kiosk type application. Search for Visual Studio Kiosk and you should be able to find plenty.

• Windows Search Technologies syntax problem

  Help!!! WDS 2.6.5 doesn't work correctly in my system. Any query using syntax doesn't work. for example, "sample kind:email" and "sample" return the same results. xinyuan, I've only seen this happen in situations where the user is using WDS in a multi-language environment (WDS EN-US on Windows German for example). This can mess up the word breaker on the indexer and cause problems with some of the properties. Are you using WDS in a similar situation If so, I would advise uninstalling and reinstalling WDS - especially if you changed your Windows localization settings after installing WDS initially.

• Windows Forms How to add duplicate datacolumn to datatable

  Hi All, How can we add a duplicate column to datatable. I already had a column named "Action" in my datatable, and i want a duplicate column to "Action". Note: Actually the datatable is being filled from dataset. I cannot change the Sql Query because those are predefined by analysts. Thanks in advance. Hi Ken, Thank you so much. This was very helpful. But there is one more query in it. I will change the value of action field when certain key is pressed. But that should not be reflected in 'action2'. Because I want to compare original action and changed action. Whenver I change the 'action' and click on some other cell, the value of that field is being changed in 'action2' also.

Would you please give an example about its usage or give a tutorials about this Thanks Hi, For example, in the following code ; all server update processes is implemented in their own transaction if we do not attempt to use distirbuted transaction. So if one of these update processes conclude with an error in their own transaction, and then that update process is the only process that affected from this roll back. so in order to make this as if they are all located in the same local transaction, we must use distibuted transaction application.
