• .NET Development converting a byte array to a string?

  I have a program that acts as a server and when it receives information I would like to get all the data until a break char is given. for example the return key. The problem I am having is converting the Byte Array back to a string, it seems to only be giving me numbers. If you would like me to post my code to explain then I will :D. Encoding.ASCII does NOT work with character codes above 0x7F. This is unsurprising, since ASCII only goes up to 0x7F. To make it work with 8 bit ANSI characters using the current code page, use Encoding.Default instead. (If I had ￡1 for every time I've seen this error... I'd be etc etc) ...Show All

• Visual Studio WebLogAnalyzer Bug

  I recently downloaded the WebLogAnalyzer 1.0. It ran it's own sample file find. However, when I provided it with a folder of several files it only reported on the last one it read. This code looks like the culprit: ' Parse each file in the list and build a collection of LogFileEntry objects. Dim fi As FileInfo For Each fi In files logFileEntries = LogParser.ParseLogFile(fi.FullName, extensionsToIgnore) Next I think that logFileEntries = LogParser.ParseLogFile(fi.FullName, extensionsToIgnore) is only holding the result of the last file parsing. Shouldn't this be a summation statement I have tried logFileEntries=logFileEntries & logParser.ParseLogFile...... but it won't work. Comments Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Production quality planning of MS DSL tools

• SQL Server pass large xmlstring to sql server 2000 stored procedure

  Hi, Can I use DBType.XML in .net 2.0 to pass xml string to a stored procedure in sql server 2000 It's just that I know sql 2000 does not have xml type.

• SQL Server Dynamix mdx query

  I'm not to familiar with mdx, so I don't manage to create a dynamix mdx query in RS against my AS cube. What I'm looking for is having two parameters @par1 and @par2 that decide what dimensions to query against. The default query I get when I create a mdx with designer looks like the one below. The problem is that instead of [Product].[Product].[Product] and [Supplier].[Supplier].[Supplier] I would like to use my parameters. The parameters can contain the value Supplier, Product, Customer and all other names of the valid dimensions. I thought maybe it was possible to do somthing like this: [@par1].[@par1].[@par1], but that didnt work :-) I have also tryed using with and set, but havnt managed to make it work.

• Windows Forms how to add a new row to datagridview + bound text boxes et

  I have a datagridview(too small to put all the column values) so I used some text boxes in a form below to display the entire detail for any selected row. The textboxes are bound to the same databindingsource as the datagridview..The selected row in datagrid populates values in the textboxes. I want some mechanism so that when a user wants to add a row, they can put their values in the textboxes and hit add button which puts the new row in the datagridview. Is this possible Thanks.. Paul, The bigger problem is in the UI aspect. The textboxes are bound to the same databindingsource as the datagridview. For the user to be able to add a new item, I am not able to provide them with textboxes whi ...Show All

• SQL Server Precedence puzzle

  Hello folks, I have probably a dumb newbie question but I can't find the answer anywhere. On my Control Flow design pane I have two objects: a SQL task object and a Data flow task object. The first 'points' to the second. From my digging I believed that by indicating with the arrow from 1 to 2 that 1 would execute to finish before 2 was started. My SQL taks is to truncate a table to receive the new data coming from the data flow task object. Instead 2 executes first and then 1. You can imagine producing an empty table was not my goal for this package. Can anybody give me a clue Thanks.... Jim Are you sure they are executed in this order How do you determine this I would try setting pre-e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Nesting Related Files

  Hi there, Unlike many users of ASP.NET solutions, I am building my websites using XML/XSL transformations. Because of that, I have lot of XML and XSL files in the same location as the aspx and its related code behind files. For the overview of it, i have named my XML/XSLT files the same as the aspx file, for an exampe: default.aspx would be named default.aspx.xml, default.aspx.xsl. Since there is already an option in VS2005 for nesting related files, i was wondering if it has been so smartly developed, so i might add my own "related" files to this already built-in functionality This would really ease up my overview. Thanks in advance for usefull feedback regarding this matter :) Hi Michael. For web projec ...Show All
