• Visual C# Simple Question regarding Objects

  I'm a bit reluctant to post this question in the forums because I know that the answer is going to be something fundamental, but I've come to a point where I simply can't continue programming without having it answered and after hours of searching I'm at an end of what to do. So here goes: How can I access the properties and methods of an object from a class other than the class that the object was created in. For example, I create a new object (called object1) in a class (lets say Entity.cs) and this new object, object1, contains a method called update. Now here's the problem, I want to call the object1.update method from a class other than the Entity class (for example Other.cs) how can I do this without creating a new object in the O ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use variables for server connections

  Hello, Today is day two of using SSIS and having some issues adjusting. In DTS I would simply populate my global variables via an Active X step or pass them in at the job line. I am having a hard time being able to do either or in SSIS. Really all I want to be able to do is pass in a server name to the Connection of an execute SQL task from a scheduled job line. Same goes for any variable really ... how do I pass them in, and how do I assign them to specific areas of a task Thanks! By the way, if you're finding the transition from DTS difficult I've got some documentation that may help: The mind-shift from DTS ( http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/05/09/1396.aspx ) But i ...Show All

• Visual Studio CHM files in Unicode path

  I want to be able to install my application in a directory with Unicode characters in the filename. I am, however, unable to open any compiled html files (.chm) when I do this. The error message I get is: Cannot open the file: mk:@MSITStore:C\Program Files\Uni \myhelp.chm. The same .chm-file works fine a directory without Unicode characters. Has anyone figured out how to do this Regards Bengt Hi Bengt, You might try "escaping" the unicode characters in the directory's title name, substituting either hex or decimal values. Please see this conversion chart: http://theorem.ca/~mvcorks/cgi-bin/unicode.pl.cgi start=0400&end=04FF I'm not sure if this will work, but it's w ...Show All

• SQL Server OLAP Services connection 8.0 Vs 9.0

  Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0 ------ Microsoft OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0 I have both 8.0 and 9.0 installed in my box. I use Excel 2003 to connect to AS. I opened two excel files in one I used OLAP 8.0 to create connection to OLAP database which is in AS 2000. Connection was created as soon as I click OK in "Create New Data Source" window. When I do the same using OLAP 9.0 and create connection to same OLAP database in other server using AS 2005 it takes 2 mins to just create a connection after I clicked OK "Create New Data Source" window. I am just trying to figure out why Is there some thing which will slow down my query too. Hardware is almost same and those server runs only ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is fixing runtime bugs expensive?

  I am a novice C# programmer. In the title “Learning C#,” the author states that it is much more expensive to fix a bug at runtime than at design time or compile time. I am wondering if it would indeed be as expensive as he says if the application goes through an SQA cycle before it is deployed. Whether you catch it at design or compile time, or rather at runtime, why would there be more or less cost involved Please shed some light on this. This is a myth. It's not defined who will cover those extra costs of fixing bug so late. If this software is for sale - then it's possible for software developer/team/company to rip benefits by releasing new version of software or charging per hour to implement f ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision Detection Cont.

  Hello, as some of you may know, I'm working on a collision detection system, and thanks to PolygonSoup, I've gotten a lot further allong. In my tests, speed does not seem to be affected at all by my method of going through every triangle in the level if I base my collision on a single sphere, but I have problems with the collision itself. I used a rough (and horribly incorrect) algorithm to detect if my sphere is even remotely close to the triangle. What I'm looking for is a formula that will tell me the distance between point [X,Y,Z] and triangle [(X,Y,Z),(X,Y,Z),(X,Y,Z)]. After that, I will simply determine if the distance is less than the radius of my sphere. Thank you. Dont know of any specific algori ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating Sql Server to Express Edition as backup application

  Hello! We are running a business critical client-server application that needs to have high availability to the end user. I was wondering if it would be possible to setup a replication/data transfer from an existing Sql Server 7.0/8.0/9.0 (regular online environment running on server) TO an instance of Sql 2005 Express Edition (backup env. running on klient PC). In case of server failure the application would redirect - accessing the local PC Express edition. Does anyone have any input on this, and if it would be a possible alternative to use as extra standby- system. Kind regards Tomas Hi, You might want to talk to us about a product that we sell (WANSync) which provides real-time asynchronous data replication, full tree rep ...Show All

• Visual C# term for c#

  Does anyone know the term below when a property is non-virtual and contains only a small amount of code, the execution environment may replace calls to accessors with the actual code of the accessor. Thank you for help. You are referring to a process known as inlining . What it says is that the accessors (i.e. get and set) of a property with very little code will be inlined in your code. In a nutshell, say you have the following (rather silly) property: private string m_myproperty; public string MyProperty { get { if ((m_myproperty != null) && (m_myproperty.Length > 3)) return m_myproperty.Substring (0, 3); else return ""; } } and somewhere in your c ...Show All
