• Visual C++ Read text file to variable, write this variable to another file

  Hello, I am new to Visual Studio and c++. I am using native., rather than managed c++ (I think and hope). I am able to read data from a file, but when I then try to turn around and write the string variable into a text file, the written-to file appears to be empty. Here is an excerpt of what I'm doing: std::ifstream fileInput; fileInput.open("SymbolList.txt",ios::in); std::ofstream fileOutput2; fileOutput2.open("SymbolsOut.txt",ios::out); std::getline(fileInput,line); std::cout << line << "\n"; start = &line[0]; j = strcspn (start,str2); std::cout << "j = "<< j << "\n"; length = line.copy(buffer,j,0); buffer[length]='\0'; std::cout << "buffer ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions XML DataSet

  Hi Everyone, I have just finished watching a few videos that a friend sent me about VS.Net (not 2005) and I found them informative but I can't seem to get the final XML file into a DataSet.

• Visual Basic Not sure how to create this class design. Here is the Class1 code with a read only property. [AMENDED twice].

  I was wondering what would be the syntax to achieve an end result of something like this: Dim MyClass as New Class1 With MyClass.User .Name = "Dude" .Email = "Dude@email.com" End With With MyClass.Employee .Name = "Whoever" .Email = "whoever@comp.com" End with I've tried classes within classes, structures within classes; but I keep getting all kinds of errors.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Nested Master Pages Example

  Has anyone gotten nested master pages working within MOSS I'm looking for a working example of parent & nested master page code. I've found little more than statements that they work just like ASP 2.0 master pages and this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms476046.aspx There is says: For example, you can reference one master page from another master page using the following directive: <%@ Master master=MyParent.master %> Which isn't exactly right, because the tag needs to be "<%@ Master MasterPageFile ="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/parent.master" %> Is there a minimum set of other stuff that needs to be in a nested master page (similar to the minimum master page) to make it w ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLBrowse problem

  Hello everybody, we have encountered big problems with SQL 2005 SQLBrowser service. We made a mistake tinkering with settings for SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration trying to resolve some warnings in event log from SQLBrowser service. To made story short - this is cluster environment with multiple sql instances and sql services failed to start. Using clusterrecovery tool resolved that issue, but since then SQLBrowser service wouldn't start, for example running "sqlbrowser.exe -c" outputs: SQLBrowser: starting up in console mode SQLBrowser: starting up SSRP redirection service SQLBrowser is successfully listening on 0.0.0.0[1434] SQLBrowser: failed starting SSRP redirection services -- shutting down.

• Visual Basic Image in DataGridView

  Hello! I want to use images/pictures/icons (coming from the ressources) in a DataGridView in a separate field. The picture shown in this field will depend on a value of another field. Can anybody help me Seppe001, According to your problem, I suggest you to use the DataGridViewImageColumn.Image property that gets or sets the image displayed in the cells of this column when the cell's Value property is not set and the cell's ValueIsIcon property is set to false. The Image property specifies an image that is displayed in cells with no values when the column is not data-bound and the cell's ValueIsIcon property is set to false. For a data-bound column whose cells do not have an associated ima ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Ending Application

  How do you end application properly when the user click on the X on the control box I have a program that does a loop, reading delimited file. What happens is that when user closes the program, it's still running in the background. I used "End" on form closed, and it works great; but I've read that you should never use it. So what is my alternative to stop it The simplest thing to do is to set the shutdown mode to "When Startup form Closes" ...this will force the application to end when the startup form is closed no matter if any other forms are open. Otherwise you can use: Application .Exit() ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A Few Questions

  I've been programming for a while, but I can't grasp a few basic concepts of game development, so I have a few questions (actually a lot of questions, but i'll only ask a few) I see a lot of documentation talking about 3D stuff, but I'm interested in 2D and it's hard for me to relate 3D tutorials to 2D. What exactly is the SpriteBatch class, and how should it be used Would I derive an "enemy" class from SpriteBatch I don't understand the way a "camera" works.. if you move a camera, is the actual camera moving or are all the sprites moving Do I have to move them manually OK, here's some code from the Help file I told you about: partial class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Fram ...Show All

• SQL Server High Availability and Scalability ...

  We have a multi-lingual website (English, Spanish and German). We have a table called Posts that is potentially getting really big. We are in the initial design phase of the database and would like to know what the experts are suggesting to keep our database mean and lean in the long run. We have been talking about splitting the database up into 3 separate databases, one for English, one for Spanish and one for German. The language specific databases would also be hosted in countries where the language is spoken eg. the German database would be hosted in Germany. Or maybe database partitioning by language Making changes to 3 databases once launched seems like a nightmare. It would be nice to have one main ...Show All
