• SQL Server Logical XOR operator in T-SQL (SQL Server 2000)

  Hi all.... I was wondering why SQL Server 2000 lacks a logical XOR operator. Do you have a ready to use function that implements it How can I program one by myself I know that A XOR B is equivalent to NOT A * B + A * NOT B. So I tried to create this function : CREATE FUNCTION XOR ( -- Add the parameters for the function here @A BIT , @B BIT ) RETURNS BIT AS BEGIN RETURN NOT @A AND @B OR @A + NOT @B END But it didn't compile. How can I pass boolean values as parameters any other hint Thanks Jaime There is no boolean data type in TSQL and there are only few system built-ins like CONTAINS that can be used directly in a WHERE clause. So you need to use the XOR ...Show All

• Windows Forms dfsvc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

  I am getting the "dfsvc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" error when trying to install a clickonce app for a user that does not have admin rights. It works fine for admin users. I know other people have had this issue but I have not seen a clear cut solution. Does anyone know what is going on. Also, is there a log file that might have more information. I checked the event viewer on the machine and I see .Net errors with the following text: EventType : clr20r3 P1 : dfsvc.exe P2 : 2.0.50727.42 P3 : 4333af20 P4 : mscorlib P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 4333ab80 P7 : 3450 P8 : 29 P9 : system.argumentnullexception Thanks I get the following error when attaching a debugger to dfsvc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merging: How is the target branch determined (or: how to merge)

  Hi, I am trying to merge a changeset into another branch. I'd like to know how Team Foundation Source Control determines what target branches are possible to choose. Let me explain by examplifying. My branch setup is this The root is branched into 2 separate branches, A and B A is later branched once more, so we have A and A.a. Now, I'd like to merge a changeset from the branch A.a directly into B without merging the change into branch A. Is this possible The target branches I get when I choose the A.a source tree is only A, not B. For the simple case this is true but I am going to write a blog post that shows how this fails for a lot of the complex scenarios and why we decided not to do it. Now that does ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewImageColumn refresh issues

  Howdy ladies and gents, I was working on a .NET module today that creates a DataGridView at runtime, docked at the top of the parent form, and populates it with a mix of Image columns (containing Icons rather than Images), TextBox columns, and Link columns, and I noticed that when the form is redrawn, the icons aren't rendered properly. The masked space from the "transparent" portions of the Icons are being rendered with whatever data was present in the previous frame. I've set the background color of the cells individually, in addition to setting it in the template for new records. Possible tip: if I minimize and then restore the parent window, the "transparent" portions of the Icons are painted in the normal ...Show All

• Visual C# Versatility/Practicality of C#?

  Hey all, new to posting but ive been reading here for a few weeks. Anyway, on with my question (which probably has been asked in some way already)- How versatile is VC# compared to VC++ All I generally see are simple (*duck/cover* ) desktop applications. I've read that its possible to do game dev (including DX and OpenGL), but I have yet to find any engines done in C#. I have just looked at API's/engines/SDK's for games, but I have not gotten actually into manipulating/programming in them yet. I've done some basic reading on C# and I sort of want to get into it, but I plan on in a few years down the line working for Lockheed (or a defense contractor of some sort) or EA-Tiburon. I've been programming since I was probably around 10, ...Show All
