• Visual C# Importing C++ Express project to C# express?

  Hi, I am new here and I am wondering if it is possible to import C++ express project into C# express ... Best Regards, Johney Johney, I'm still not 100% sure we're talking about the same thing, but I think you're asking if it's possible to take an existing C++ file and have it converted into the equivelant C# code (in the same way its possible to take some forms of VB6 applications and migrate them to VB.NET through a wizard). Neither C# Express, nor the enterprise version of VS, support this scenario. In general it would be possible to use the functionality of the C++ code by building it into a managed .dll, using either C++/CLI or exposing native entry points (_dllexport) that could be calle ...Show All

When I debug the game, I've noticed that the draw() method is called two times consecutively. Can anyone explain it Thanks in advanced.

I would like them to be applied as 1 or 2 or 3 but on the filter dialog box the And/Or column is greyed out and And is selected so I get 1 and 2 and 3.

• .NET Development Process.GetProcess() Issue

  I'm facing trick problem. I'm using Process.GetProcess( ) method to get all the process which are running in server. This code causes the application termination. If i want to get what kind security permission i have to set . Can any one help Regards Unsure what "find the previous instance" means. Anyway, if you have a semaphore with a maxCount of n, you will be able to call WaitOne and not block n times. After this a call will block, waiting for a Release. There is a timeout overload. If you put 0, you can just check if the count is n or less. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Mail merge or document creation\populate via workflow?

  Hello all! One ideal addition to SharePoint would be the ability to mail merge, or create documents in a document library using say a template in the library but populate with content from a list. I had a go with workflow in WSS v3 using SP designer 2007 and it looked like you can get workflow to create a new item in a document library, but not populate it with content from a list. So close, or am I missing something Hi Shane. Yep, looks like that is the limit of out of the box workflow with SP designer 2007, which is a shame. Hint to MS... mailmerge in the next version out of the box Looks like you have to code you way around this. I've had a play and looks like you can extract the data from the list via the w ...Show All

• SQL Server Convert tick-by-tick stock price time series data grouped as high, low, open and close prices

  I am working on a stock price analysis project. Stock prices are stored in SQL Server as tick by tick data (that means in a high frequency) and need to be grouped by minutes in order to display them as as high, low, open and close prices in a candlestick or similar chart. The fields in the table are: Time (for every stock price tick) Price (stock price) Symbol (of the stock) A sample time series would look like this: 11:45:01 $22.11 MSFT 11:45:02 $22.10 MSFT 11:45:04 $22.25 MSFT ... ... ... 11:45:58 $22.45 MSFT 11:46:03 $22.22 MSFT 11:46:08 $22.25 MSFT ... ... ... 11:46:59 $22.45 MSFT The result of the SQL query should be: Symbol Time Open High Low Close ...Show All

I tried putting Attributes on the UserControl MTAThread() I tried changing the ApartmentState of the CurrentThread .
