• Visual Studio Express Editions Efficiency of File.ReadAllLines

  I found the following code example demonstrating the method File.ReadAllLines: foreach(string line in File.ReadAllLines(string filename)) {.....do stuff....} Question: How efficient can this be Will the file actually be opened, completely read and closed for each iteration Moreover, one can even do this: string line = File.ReadAllLines(string filename)[int i] to access line 'i' in the file. But again, will the complete file be read and closed or will the function stop after reading line i An alternative for my application is to declare a string array, read all lines into it and process from the array. Is there a way to do this without knowing the number of lines in the file (and therefore the size of the array) Any downside to just dec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Integration between Visual SourceSafe 2005 & Microsoft SQL Server 2005

  Hi; I would like to know if i can Configure VSS 2005 to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Best regards, Nancy, I think that I misunderstood your original post. You asked if you could use VSS 2005 with SQL Server and I thought that you meant the development of SQL Server applications and Stored Procedures. However, it is clearer to me now that you want to use SQL Server 2005 as the storage mechanism for VSS 2005. The answer to that question is no. VSS cannot be configured to use SQL Server 2005 as a storage backend. VSS has it's own storage mechanism for version tracking. I am sorry but there is no way to configure the VSS fontend to use SQL Server on the backend. Thanks, Karl Hilsmann Visual Studio Develop ...Show All

• Visual C++ Newbie question about classes

  Hi, this is the declaration of a class for handling matrices. http://doc.coin3d.org/Coin/classSbMatrix.html In this way i create an object SbMatrix: SbMatrix a=(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 3, 9); How can i print the content of that matrix and How can i give values to each one of its components no, he was right the array has 16 elements, and is zero based, so it has indexes 0 through 15. you need to use either of these two lines: [code] for(int i=0;i<16;i++) for(int i=0;i<=15;i++) [/code] (i personally prefer the first one, but either one is correct) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Find And Replace Command Not Working?

  Good day! My Find/Replace Edit Menu command inside VB 2005 is not working anymore, and SQL Server 2005 as well. When I tried to check this feature in Microsoft Office applications, there is no problem at all. It's mysterious, I don't know what happen. I also tried to re-install VB and SQL, but still it didn't work. I know it is a petty problem, but it plays an important role when editing your codes. Please help. Thanks Hi there. I had also posted this problem earlier...found the answer on a different forum. I've had this happen in all visual studio 2005 apps. What seems to be happening is that the find/replace window is there, it's just 'almost' hidden. Drove me nuts. Look around the very edges ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ContextMenu renders slow in Vista

  I have an old WinForms notifyicon in the tray and when i click the icon i open a WPF contextmenu at the position of the mouse. In the contextmenu i have about 10 subitems with about 20 subitems each. When i open one of the first-level menus i animate the height of its subitems to create a nice slide-in-effect. On Windows XP this works fine, the animations run smooth without any problems. But on Vista the framerate on the contextmenu realy is crap(i estimate it's around 5-20fps). Only opening the menu without any animation takes 1sec, on XP this is instant. I've tried with both DWM activated and deactivated and it's the same problem in both cases. I've also checked with perforator and it says 0 software renderers.   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Non background image on a label.

  I want to show a little graphic directly to the left of a piece of text in a windows forms applications. The System.Windows.Forms.Label control seems like the obvious place to go for this... I create my Label control and set the .Image property to my image and set the ImageAlign property to MiddleLeft. Unfortunately, the image is underneath the text... not adjacent to it... not exactly what I wanted. (Nor what I expected since other controls, like Panel, call the property BackgroundImage if it is going to be painted under everything else). Then I think... no problem... the same thing happens in System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel, and I know the solution. I am using a 16px image, so I set the left padding on the Label to be 16.
