• Smart Device Development Installing .NET Compact Framework 2.0

  Hello, I accidentally unistalled my .NET Compact Framework 2.0, so I am trying to re-install it along with Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 1 Patch. First I made sure that all of the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 programs where uninstalled in Add/Remove programs. Then I installed .NET Compact Framwork 2.0 Redistributable. After that I try installing .NET Compact Frameswork 2.0 Service Pack 1 Redistributable. I then get an error message saying that I must first uninstall the similar program in Add/Remove Programs before running this install. So I removed .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and then installed .NET Compact Framwork 2.0 Service Pack 1. Was I correct in doing that In Add/Remove programs is now shows .NET Compact Framwork 2.0 SP1, wit ...Show All

• Visual C++ vector::resize doesnt throw exception when allocation fails

  I had a vector which initially had zero size and when I tried to resize, it was returning normally though when I checked the size, it hadnt increased. I stepped through the code in the debugger and found the allocate function that resize uses internally was returning a null reference but no exception was being thrown. This was causing an access violation later. Any ideas if this is a bug in STL Thanks, KarthiKR   rKarthik wrote: Thanks einaros Happy to be of service  Sorry about the bad news, though. ...Show All

• .NET Development GetHashCode and Equals once again

  I do not see how GetHashCode() and Equals() can ever successfully be implemented given the guidelines. I am assuming that one of the guidelines, apart from the well-known one of two objects being equal ( Equals() ) returning the same hash code ( GetHashCode() ), is that GetHashCode can not change during the lifetime of an object. Given this assumption it appears to me that GetHashCode must either be implemented on a totally immutable class, or that it must only use immutable data members of a class. Since this is the case, the Equals() function must also depend on either a totally immutable class or only use immutable data members of a class. To me this need to rely only on immutable data in a class defeats the entire purpose of object eq ...Show All

• SQL Server wrap text in excel export

  When tables are exported to excel, the text in the cells is automatically wrapped. Is there a way to tell Excel to not wrap these cells when a report is exported. Any/all info appreciated. Thank you. I don't think this can be done as in RS the column width is fixed and the CanGrow propety only applies to vertical growth. The only option is to set the column to be wide enough in the first place. ...Show All

• SQL Server Parent ID in a Slowly Changing Dimension

  Hi There, Just wondering if any of you implemented a (Kimball type 2) dimension structure, in which a ParentID column exists which points to a record from the same dimension table, using a SCD objects in SSIS. The ParentID column would have to be "Historical". The challange here is that you would need to go through the table twice somehow, because if I would do a lookup of the parent record in the first run, I wouldn't be sure if I got the right parent record. Thnx, Jeroen. Okay, let me try to give an example: Lets say we have an employee named Doopie and his boss named Barkie, both in the dim_Employee table. In our case we work with start- and enddates.
