• Visual Studio Express Editions starting a simple program

  Yea, i just finished installing and setting up Microsoft Visual C++ Express Editon and Microsoft Platform SDK according to the instuctions on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/ --just when i get to the last step of the instructions which is " Step 5: Generate and build a Win32 application to test your paths. ", I cant tell if the program is running or not. All the pops up is a blank dialog box that says "testrun" on the top left hand corner. When i create a simple .cpp file (this is the code) #include <iostream.h> int main(){ cout << "This is a test\n."; return 0; } and then run it (by pressing f5) i get the same blank dialog box with the same title on the top le ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serialport.Write deadlock after power up

  Visual Studio 2005 Windows Mobile 5 SDK Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 IPAQ hx2790 Zigbee Compact Flash Communications Module I am writing an application to allow a mobile device to communicate on a zigbee mesh network with other mobile devices/custom hardware/pc's I interface with the compact flash device via a "Windows CE elSerial Driver" virtual serial port and AT style commands - similar to a modem.

• SQL Server Tricky "TOP TEN" query

  I'm self-taught at SQL, so this may be an easy one for others, but I can't even figure out how to search for an answer. I need to put together a query as a datasource for a chart showing the firm's top ten clients by revenue AND the top ten clients by hours worked. It's easy to do either query separately, but the problem comes in when the two are combined. Then top ten by revenue doesn't always include all the top ten by hours clients, and vice versa [at the moment, I'm running a top twenty for each, then hand-compiling the top ten in Excel--oy!]. How can I write a query that will guarantee to include the top ten of both revenue and hours lists Thanks, elinde You could use the two queries you ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading/writing ASCII files

  I have a set of ASCII files that are space delimited that are not necessarily related, so I do not need to keep them related using keys. Can I read these into a DataSet The reason I question this is because there are no real column headings, so I'm not sure how I would keep track of where I am when I go to edit the information. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Then ckeck this link. Pay attention to the last topic, but read it carefully about schema.ini file http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326548/en-us ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLConnection

  Hi there, I use Visual Studio 2005, .net Framework 2.0.50727 and Visual C# 2005 In my application, I’ve about six objects form six different classes and a connection object that connect to SQL server 2005. Those six objects use the single connection object. Out of the six obj, some uses Adaptor.Fill method and others use ExecuteNonQuery method. For ExecuteNonQuery, I manually open and then close connection object. The connection is used by the objects at least once in every two seconds. When I run the application, some time its throws an error, "connection is being used by a data reader which must be closed." Here I'm not sure what the best practice in using the connection is 1. Do I've to use different connection fo ...Show All

• .NET Development WSDL.EXE is generating a proxy class that displays no methods

  Hi I have a webservice ASKWS that has the methods 'ConvertTemperature' and 'HelloWorld' (taken from MS sample code). These methods are exposed correctly when I enter http://localhost/ASKWS/Service.asmx as the URL. I wanted to try out the WSDL.EXE utility and so tried to use the utility to generate a proxy class containing these methods: i.e. wsdl http://localhost/ASKWS/Service.asmx wsdl This generated a Service.cs proxy as I expected. I then generated a new webservice and substituted my Service.cs proxy class for the default Service.cs that appears with the new webservice. When I run the new webservice I get no web methods displayed - the 'ConvertTemperature' and 'HelloWorld' methods are not exposed. Is there something el ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with dynamic query and statement IN

  Hi, try to execute this: "where a12.year_id = " & Parameters!years.Value & " and a12.month_of_year in ( " & Parameters!months.Value &" ) " & but when I run the report raise an error someone kwon if it's possible to use the IN statement within a dynamic query I've setting The parameter month as multivalue thanks You can use dynamic queries as expressions and use a "IN" statement. The problem, or "bug", is that with dynamic queries the dataset may not get refreshed when something is changed. You can use the field value (Parameters!Some_param.Value) or the query syntax (@Some_Param). The way I've worked around this is to actu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Modeling

  What is the best free/cheap 3D modeler out there By best I mean a good combination of capable and easy. I have used Maya while playing with UT2004, but the free version won't export .X files. I have a copy of 3DCanvas pro, but I find it lacking somewhat. For straight modeling, I prefer Silo . Not free, but relatively cheap ($150, I think). It's fast and streamlined. I don't know if it supports FBX directly, but has decent .obj support. Once you've got an obj, it's pretty easy to turn it into any other file format you need. It, like Wings3D , doesn't do modeling. If Silo's price tag is out of your range, Wings3D is a good choice as well. I just prefer Silo's interface. Milkshape is supposedly pretty good f ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databound Combo Box

  Okay, I am a little confused. I am sure somebody has a quick and simple solution to my little issue. I have a number of combo boxes on my windows forms. User is able to select a specific item from the control and I update the informaiton in the database. All of this is working great, no problems. Where I run into an issue is when I navagate back to this record in my winform I do not see the values selected in the combo box. They come up blank. I am using a binding source to bind the combobox to selectedValue and this is mapped to the column in my table. Using VS 2005 Visual Basic, SQL 2005, ...Show All

• .NET Development Regarding Access Database Column Properties

  Is there a way to programmatically access column properties using C# (hopefully OleDB), specifically the properties under the Lookup tab (Display Control, Row Source Type, Row Source, etc, etc) I would like to access the values in Row Source if I may, but so far I've been unsuccessful. The closest I've come is the GetSchemaTable method of the DataReader object: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDataOleDbOleDbDataReaderClassGetSchemaTableTopic.asp but unfortunately that doesn't provide this information. Thanks in advance for any help. Have you tried using GetOleDbSchemaTable The below example should illustrate how to do this. Just change the connection ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ConnectionPool VS ConnectionPerUser

  Hi, For a LoadTest's "Run Settings" properties, 1. whats the difference between using ConnectionPool and ConnectionPerUser 2. Which setting "DOES NOT" cause any bottle necks on the Agents. Jesudhas Hi, I am running a load test with one web test present and i have various think times of between 5 and 20 seconds between requests. I have a constant load of a 100 users and am using connectionperuser. My problem is that my requests/sec starts off at approx 40 and over 30 minutes more or less linearly reduces to approx 1-2 requests/sec. If i change to connectionpool my request/sec stays more or less constant. The load on the server is approx 30-40 %. Is there some checks i can do on the client side to se ...Show All
