• Visual Studio Express Editions VC++2005 EE & Books

  Several people have asked about books for VC++2005 EE. I have recently bought Pro Visual C++/CLI by Stephen Fraser, Apress, 2006 & it is truly an excellent book. It not aimed particularly at EE but nearly all the code runs under EE & the explanations of the C++/CLI & .NET Platform are very clear & helpful. The book is not cheap - 47.99GBP in England but you in the US can get it cheaper! You have to know C++ in order to benefit from the book. Incidentally, I have no connection whatsoever with Stephen Fraser or Apress! ...Show All

• SQL Server is there a TSQL statement to delete file like xp_delete_file for SQL2000

  I know there is a command xp_delete_file for SQL 2005 but if I want to delete a file from a 2000 database is there a command to do the same. Didnt' find a good TSQL option but did find a VB script I modified to do the job. The SQL Agent can run VBscript so this works well. For other people with the same problem the script I"m using is. Option Explicit on error resume next Dim oFSO Dim sDirectoryPath Dim oFolder Dim oFileCollection Dim oFile Dim iDaysOld iDaysOld = 2 Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") sDirectoryPath = " \\nas01\SQL_Server_Backups\EZPROD01 " set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sDirectoryPath) set oFileCollection = oFolder.Files For each oFile ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System View file in solution explorer

  That's odd, I'm sure I used to be able to double click on an object (in this case a stored procedure) in schema view and it would open for me to edit. Now I just get the menu item 'View file in Solution Explorer' which doesn't work. It just flicks back to the solution explorer and doesn't expand the correct folder or select the correct file. Am I mising something I just tried this, when I double click an object it opens the file for edit, and when I click on solution explorer the file is highlighted. Not sure why you're not seeing this... perhaps try repair in add/remove programs ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista TIP Txn resolution (*ONLY* failed to notify)

  Hi, It appears that DTC is not fulfilling its end of the bargain when it acts as coordinator in a distributed TIP transaction. I deliberately killed my Transaction Manager after it had successfully returned a PREPARED response to the DTC. I then pulled the plug (literally) on the network connection. After bringing my TM back up, it began waiting t3$tip_unresolved_search_detent seconds between attempts to obtain the outcome of the txn from DTC. I then restored the network connection, and to my astonishment, DTC just sat there content that my loyal Resource Managers (Rdb) were enforcing the ACID properties of a true 2PC and locking all affected rows. After some many minutes of inaction, a net stop/start msdtc was able to force a com ...Show All

• SQL Server csv export without headings

  Hi, is it possible to export a report to a csv file without the headings at best i have been able to hide the headings in the report, but when exported to csv file it includes a row at the top of commas, then the data follows.

• Community Chat .NET

  What is the difference between .NET and java. If both are platform independent, can you suggest which is the most preferable based on platform independency. .NET application needs to have .NET framework running on the machine where you want to run it. In case of Java, you need to have JVM/JRE running to run Java application. As per my knowledge, JVM/JREs are available for different plateforms but DOT NET needs to have MS operating system. Note: there is possibility to run DOT net application on non-Microsoft plateform using some 3rd party application like MONO. Hope this helps you understand the difference. Well, I will love to work on DOT NET.... ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I update a table in batches ?

  I have an application that processes a large number of input files in a CSV format and then posts the data to a table on SQL Server Express. The data table can end up very large and I have no requirements to store all the data locally. I have included the table in my DataSet using visual studio express so I have access to the schema, but will not run Fill() on it. Ideally I would like to process a CSV file at a time. I can add records to my local (empty) data table and when I am happy, I can call tableAdapter.Update() or dataSet.DataTable.AcceptChanges() to generate lots of SQL 'INSERT' commands to update the physical database at the server end. I would then like to empty my local data table (so it doesn't get too big) and repeat the same ...Show All

• SQL Server Oracle and unicode

  Since the .net oracle providers are the only ones that work in x64 it is extremely annoying that it insists on mapping ALL varchar columns in oracle to wstring. Is there a way to fix this The oledb providers don't have this problem but I don't like being forced to use the 32 bit runtime as a workaround.
