• .NET Development ReflectionOnlyLoad into a separate AppDomain?

  Sorry to be redundant, but I'm creating a new thread which describes the outstanding remaining problem described by the earlier post: Can ReflectionOnlyLoad be applied to load an assembly into a separate temporary AppDomain I like the idea of ReflectionOnlyLoad, but if the loaded assemblies linger in memory as long as the app is running then it's not so appealing. (normally you can just call the 'Load' method on a temporary AppDomain object and unload that AppDomain object when done reflecting, but 'ReflectionOnlyLoad' is unfortunately not a method of the AppDomain class).

• SQL Server DataReader and bad dates

  Hello, I am using a DataReader to read an ODBC Data Source. Some of my dates are not valid. I would like to have the DataReader just treat the bad dates as Null. However I cannot seem to find a setting that will get me past the DataReader. In SQL 2000 DTS I was able to use a script to skip the bad dates. Please help because I don't want to have to run SQL 2000 DTS on SQL 2005. Thanks, Michael Hi Michael, If you right click the datareader src and choose Show Advanced Editor, then go to the Input and Output Properties tab, and expand the Output Columns collection, you can set the behaviour you want for error handling on a per-column basis. Click the column you want to ignore errors on, and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Must I use managed code?

  I'm used to using Visual Studio 5 and 6 at work, and downloaded VC++ 2005 Express to use at home. I also downloaded the Platform SDK. I wrote a simple WinMain function that accessed a third-party COM component, and that seemed to be fine. When I came to add a dialog box, I was faced with lots of unfamiliar code, nothing like the normal Windows stuff I'm used to. Also, when I came to run it in debug, the ourput window showed a managed thread and a native thread. I don't really have time to learn a whole new technology, so can't I just build native Windows code like I'm used to Was the project Win32 or CLR I'm guessing that since you ran into a problem when you added the form (a.k.a CLR/Managed Code), ...Show All

• SQL Server Mirroring dedicated traffic

  We are using the following configuration: 2 stand alone Windows 2003 servers 64 bit. Each have two Gig Network cards configured with different IP addresses. Each running multiple instances of SQL Server 64. I am trying to set up a mirror where mirroring traffic between servers will be dedicated to a secondary IP address on the second NIC. I am also trying to avoid Windows authentication. Interesting enough: Security Configuration screen suggesting you to use fully qualified TCP addresses and, at the same time, does not give you such an option... Would someone please point me in the right direction Thank you. Thank you very much for your response. That is definetely a lot of ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get(set) cursor position in my service before logon?

  Hello, I noticed that an interactive service cannot run in vista any more. This issue is good to security, but bad news for me using an interactive service. My service is simple and needs only 2 functions - one is getting cursor position and the other is setting cursor position. These 2 functions can be implemented through one other user application after user logon. But before user logon, how can I do this job Thank you in advance.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to display the time on a separate form

  another embarressingly simple question from a beginner. I've been reading the "your first programme" tutorials that come with Vb Express and have tried the one about showing the time in a message box. No problem there. To help me learn a bit more I decided to make a new form with a label so I could show the time in the label instead of the message box. I thought that all I would have to do is substitute the word MsgBox for Label1_dateandtime (the name of the label on the new form) - basically instead of using the message box I use a form I made. But I keep getting the error "you have tried to access a property without assigning to it, or without using its' value". I'm obviously missing something, after 4 day ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question regarding making landscape in 2D

  My question is rather simple. I have a texture and a landscape map to apply it to. It is possible to make a rectangular sprite in XNA, but is it possible to cut a part from it Here's an example for better understanding of what I'm aiming for: http://img335.imageshack.us/img335/9972/examplent7.jpg The only way I can think of is to make a different texture for every sprite, changing its shape every time. But that really it not the easiest and smartest way... Here's an example of a single landscape part: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8537/partaq9.gif ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Install Problem - VS 2005 Step

  I am having an Orcas install issue I have not seen in the forums yet.
