• Visual C# Including " Quotation marks in strings.

  I am trying to include quotation marks in a string, and struggling. The string should be; "VOLT" However if I define the string as I would normally; public string VoltString = " "VOLT" "; errors are thrown since the compiler sees the first two quotation marks and thinks that anything between them is the string, then throws an error on the reminder of the line VOLT" "; . One way around this would be if I could remove the quotation marks again though the same issue arises since the code would be; char[] trimChars = {"""}; string voltString = voltString.Trim(trimChars); and again I end up with three quotation marks and the compiler seeing only the fi ...Show All

• Visual C++ copying files upon opening the project

  Hi, I'm having the following problem: i have a set of dll and lib files that are comming from another inhouse project that are shared (SVN) into a given folder on my machine. Now i can connect to the lib files without a problem thru the extra include path in the linker settings. However i'd need the DLL files to be copied into the debug directory of my project. I could add an extra step that copies them each time I compile the project (thru a batch file), but that would be a bit overkill. Is there any way i can trigger a batch file each time i open up the project so that those files are copied over then Or is there a possibility to tell visual studio to look in a path that is relative to the project file's location Then i could t ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Why would anyone want to install WDS 3 instead of 2.6.x?

  Is it just me or does WDS 3 just seem broken I am trying to understand why I should install WDS 3 when it seems that many features I use each day have been removed. Examples include requiring an add-in to search UNCs, no Group Policy support, no PDF iFilter. Another problem is many of the iFilters I currently use don't work with WDS 3 like the old PDF iFilter. Does this mean that Search in Vista is just as broken Someone indicated that there was a whitepaper or document explaining how to chose the version to install. Does this document really exist --Greg Yeah I have finally decided to uninstall WDS as it was crushing my workstation and outlook. I really feel they rushed this out the door. Not ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedures vs SQL Select Statement.

  I have a question related to performance. Which would be better performance wise. Lets say I have a Stored Procedure which does a process, and within the stored procedure I need to collect information as it relates to the process. So this may require me to obtain data from several other tables in order to complete the process. Is it better performance wise to execute another stored procedure to collect the data I need (may be one or more then one stored procedure) or am I better performance wise to just embbed the SQL statements within the single Stored Procedures. Ie Stored Procedure up_ProcessAccount Exec up_GetAccountName Exec up_GetAccountHolderDetails ..... or Stored Procedure up_ProcessAccount Select @ACCO ...Show All

• Windows Forms Convert xml to a DataSet

  Hi there I've been given a file which has xml. I'm trying to get the file to create a typed dataset so I can access its contents easily and nicely. I've run xsd.exe against the xml file and produced an xsd file no errors reported. I then brought the xsd file into my C# project in VS 2005/.net 2. That all works ok as well. Now I try to add a dataset from the tools window and it asks if I want it untyped or typed based on my xsd file. I go for typed and get a TargetInvocationException.
