• Visual C++ Asynchronous Sockets in C++?

  Hello, I want to use asynchronous sockets in pure C++. Is there anyone to tell me how to do it or at least show me a basic example The external libraries are appreciated too. Thanks... Simple Samples wrote: Are you implying that the Windows API for Sockets should be avoided since it is written in C As far as I know, most of Windows was written in C and a large part probably is still in C. If it is, should we not use Windows Not at all. It was a simple remark, that you can write pure C programs with the Win API. What I wanted the convey is that there are several options, not just that two (I didn't say anything about the .NET framework). And in my opinion, is simpler t ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is way to Override the Disabled appearance of ListView Control

  Hi all, is it possible for me to override the appearance of the ListView Control when its enabled property is set to False (disabled) I guess I need to change the colour as when the ListView Control is disabled, its very hard to actually see what value is selected if there are only two entries in the ListView. Thanks I do not even want to select an item from the disabled ListView. What I am asking to see if I can override the backcolour of the ListView when it is in the Disabled state because at the moment in my application when the control is disable and there are two items in the ListView (one of which is selected) and its disabled (I select an item in the ListView then disable it) it is very hard to actually see what the selected ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies WSS 3.0. Should I upgrade?

  Hi, We have got WSS 2.0 installed with TFS v1 installation. Ever since we are using this system for our document library and collaboration. While using the system we discovered many issues in WSS 2.0 that can cause data loss. Given below are two main issues: 1) If a user (intentionally/unintentionally) deletes a document in WSS 2.0, all its versions get deleted with no option to recover. 2) It allows a second user to checkin document that is checked out by first user. That too without first user's knowledge. Now that WSS 3.0 is out, I'm wondering if it makes any sense to upgrade Does it solve issues like above Cheers! D2 Just FYI for others that may run across this - TFS v1 depends on WSS 2 specifically - ...Show All

• Windows Forms Automatically Wrap Text in Label

  I have the following scenario: I have a TableLayoutPanel in my form. In one of the cells I want to place a Label control to display some text. The label might have just a few words. It might have a paragraph. I would like the label text to automatically wrap inside the cell in the TableLayoutPanel. If the row in the TLP is not large enough, it should automatically grow so that it can display all of the text. 1) I have tried setting Dock:Fill and AutoSize:False on the label. This will cause the text in the label to wrap, but it will not grow past the size of the cell in the TLP. If I set the row in the TLP to be AutoSize, the whole row becomes hidden. 2) If I set it to Dock:Top, AutoSize:False, and set the TLP row to AutoSize, this works, ...Show All

• Windows Forms shrinking menu width when rendermode = system

  If you set the rendermode for a menu to anything but system you get the blue vertical strip on the left side running from the top to the bottom. If you set the rendermode to system, it disappears but you still have the entire width where the strip was on the menu. How do you get rid of this margin I don't want the strip but without it it makes the menu too wide and ugly. Well that's not really an option. I need it to disappear. This wasn't the case with VS 2003. I don't know why they had to change it. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems Creating Report

  Hi, I have only recently started playing around with Reporting Services (2005), and I am having some problems creating a basic report. What I want to display is a table which shows product names in the first column, sales for a specific period this year in the second column, and sales for the same period last year in the third column. The 'specific period' is determined by specifying a start week and an end week which I have set up as parameters. I have managed to produce the first 2 column with no trouble. However, for the third column I need to subtract 52 weeks from the parameters and use them as new parameter in the third column. Can anyone offer any suggestions Dave Some options: ...Show All

• Visual C# FxCop is great, but is there a recommended tool for automating reviews of source code for style etc?

  Hi, I use FxCop in my development environment and think it's great. But it works on the IL, so I was wondering if there was a tool that anyone could recommend that enforces rules on source code For example: Comments Style of braces White space ... Thanks in advance, Conor Internally to Microsoft is a tool named StyleCop which does just this. It works very well and integrates neatly into Visual Studio, but for some reason it isn't public and there don't appear to be any plans to make it so. ...Show All

  Hi folks... In the past, I have broken the sql script down into single batches, then executed each batch in turn using the ExecuteNonQuery method. Is there anyway to actually execute a sql script directly Does a method exist where we can just pass it the location of the sql script and let it do the rest Cheers Mark you can place this command in the SqlCommand() constructor or set the SqlCommand.CommandText property to the command which SQL Server will accept. example attaching a database in SQL Server can be done using the SqlCommand() if you give it the correct syntax and so on. ...Show All
