• SQL Server Parsing one field into many

  I am trying to parse a single field into many. A sample of the data in one of my fields is: 0;127.20;3;23.90;13.56;0;0;0;0 I would like to parse it into 9 fields. I am sure that this is easy, but, since I am new to SQL2005, I am having a few probs with this simple task. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Layne Layne: I considered the approach that you seem to be taking. What it looks to me like your are trying to do is to keep nesting until you get down to the 9th segment of your input string. What you experienced going from the first segment to the third segment was a good deal of increased complexity by the time you got nested three layers deep. The advantage that this nested approach has is that it does not ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Unkown Video Resource - .WMV supported?

  I've got one more resource loading issue. The Validator complains on all my <PrimaryAudioVideoClip> elements. It also means that when I run the simulator I get a resource load error when I select to play any videos. My playlist worked in the first release, so I'm trying to figure out what I am doing incorrectly.  Is it breaking because I'm using a wmv For example: | | | | | + <Title> | | | | | - <Title> | | | | | | | Using xml:base: file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/ | | | | | | | Attribute: titleNumber="1" | | | | | | | Attribute: titleDuration="00:01:00:00" | | | | | | | Attribute: id="start" | | | | | | | Attribute: displayName="start" | | | | | | | Attribute: onEnd="start" ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums search list of addresses

  is there any function that takes a list of addresses then returns a map contants all the addresses on it with push pins I do not believe the API currently allows you to submit an array of addresses as a search parameter. You'd need to write some manner of a proxying method that would Find() each individual address and then translate each of the VEFindResult objects into individual pins by lat/lon. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I go about adding this kind behavior?

  I need to provide some custom context around method calls on my service. By "custom context" I mean that I need to set something up before a method executes and destroy it when the method is done. This context is purely for the server has no ties to the message data at all. What type of WCF extensibility approach should I use for this I'm aware of behavior extensions, IExtensibleObject, IServiceBehavior, etc., but I'm having a problem figuring out exactly which approach to use to achieve these exact "before method/after method" notifications that I need. Thanks, Drew In case anyone's interested, I've also documented a way to add context beyond the lifetime of operation call and i ...Show All

• Windows Forms 0x80070570 error code when copying files :(

  Hi, i'm having some trouble with my hard drives. the short version of the story is that I foolishly tried to compress my two USB hard drives while they were filled with files. One hard drive succesfulyl completed, but the other 120Gig drive was interrupted by a power outage. So when i returned to windows, the hard drive kept causing explorer to stop responding and restart. Now i have managed to recover this drive by firstly using acronis disk director boot disk, where i copied all the files back over to the other hard drive, and then wiping the partition. i then used chkdsk, to correct the files record errors. but now, when i attempt to copy the files back across i get the 0x80070570 error code, saying the files or directory is corrupt ...Show All
