• .NET Development How can I convert this c# code into a regular expression?

  I'm trying to create a "path validation method" to check if a string can be used as a valid path in my program. The path must contain an indication character at the beginning of it which can be either minus, tilde or a dot. In case of a minus character than it must be followed by a number. In case of tilde or a dot than it must be followed by any valid step format. A valid step format is either a s tring enclosed by a sharp brackets , a number or a combination of a string enclosed by a sharp brackets followed by a number without white spaces between the brackets and the number. After the initial step we can have a dot separator to indicate that we have additional steps that must follow the normal step format without the starting indicatio ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB SCript for closing program

  Thanks for the advice, even a .net solution would be okay. well in .NET, depends on how you want to close a program. If you mean your own, then Application.Exit() closes your program correctly. If you mean to get a specific program and "kill" it, then try this: Dim theProcesses() as System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(" ProcessName ") for each currentProcess as Process in theProcesses currentProcess.Kill() next this gets a list of processes by the processname you give it, and goes through each one and kills it. You can also get the process by ProcessID using the GetProcessByID method. Does this help is this what you are after ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Indexing never ends with Norton Protected Recycle Bin

  Running WDS 02.06.5000.5378 and Norton SystemWorks 2002 Indexing keeps searching Recycler\NProtect folder and customise option doesn't show me this folder to allow me to deselect it. How can I get Intexing to complete Hi Jeff, Yes, I've had a look at Group Policies and tnink they would be the temporary fix. However, I suspect there would need to be a permanent fix inforporated in the final version of WDS as many people will use Norton and won't particularly want their Norton Protected Recycle Bin indexed! I think that the important point with this problem is that you the developers are aware of the problem. So, rather than dig into Group Policies (which would probably be a bit of ...Show All

• SQL Server count(*) and GUID primary key

  I was testing some performance and have a table with a GUID primary key and about 1 000 000 rows. If I run the following it takes about 4 minutes to execute (after one run it is cached and the query is fast 0.3 second): DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS select count(*) from person I tested the same with int as a primary key an this was very fast so it seams like it is the GUID primary key that is the problem. Have anyone experienced the same and can give an explanation to this behaviour (if I do a search for a firstname and lastname it also takes about 4 minutes) I do not see much of the difference. set nocount on go select top 1000000 pkid=newid() into i from master..sysobjects,master..syscolumns go alter ta ...Show All

• .NET Development Transaction without DTC???

  Hi all! I need some help in coding Transaction that are not using MS DTC! I am rather not allowed to open the ports 134 or 135 on our firewall, but need to change 3 different tables on a SQL server covered in a transaction. I am using TableAdapter in an ASP.NET 2.0 Project (written in C#) to manipulate Tables on an SQL 2005 server (different machine). How do I do that without using the DTC Base: my code: TransactionScope scope = null; using (scope = new TransactionScope() ) { this.tableAdapter1.Update( table1 ); this.tableAdapter2.Update( table2 ); this.tableAdapter3.Update( table3 ); scope.Complete(); } It looks like if the 2nd Upda ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sharing projects in multiple solution files

  I could do this in VS2003, but it's not working for me in 2005. I want to be able to have several different solution files reference a project file. For example, say I have SolutionA in one directory, with various project files and directories underneath it. Then I create SolutionB in a directory at the same level as SolutionA. I want SolutionB to reference some of the projects that are under SolutionA. SolutionA - Project1 - this references Project2 - Project2 SolutionB - reference Project1 (so I also have to reference Project2) The problem I am having is if I add a reference to Project1 from SolutionB, it changes the Project1 project file and removes the ProjectReference node from the XML (I reference Project2 first). Now So ...Show All

• SQL Server Lookup component question

  Hi, i am doing a lookup to insert new records when the lookup has failed. this works perfectly normally. however when my recordset has a name-column of type string with width 5 and my lookup-table has a name-column of char(20) the lookup will always fail and henc always inserting new records although the name "foo" should match. is there a workaround for this, or do the compare-columns always have to be of the same type/length I would say it is always a good practice to have matching datatypes. I was not aware that lookup transform treated this situation as error; but it does not surprise me. You can add a Data conversion before the lookup to assure matching data types ...Show All
