• Visual C# Can char type hold escape sequences?

  Hi, In Learning C#, the authors states that the char type can represent a simple character ( A) , a Unicode character ( \u0041 ), or an escape character enclosed by single quote marks ( '\n' ). Isn't '\n' an escape sequence rather than an escape character. Isn't "\" alone the escape character Can the char type hold entire escape sequences then, which are a group of characters beginning with an escape character, and which can be used as a command to control devices like the display Please clarify. Karim The compiler converts the two textual characters \n in your source code into a single character (code 10) in the compiled program. So textually, '\n' is an escape sequence of characters, and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office ServerDocument Help

  Hello, Okies here is the scenario: i want to be able to allow a user to upload a word document to my web app. When a user selects the document they have already uploaded then the Server injects a few websites specific variables then returns the document to the user. The user then opens the doc in word and a word plugin reads the values of the returned document. I'm still a little unsure how the the ServerDocument does its work but this kinda seems like a nice job for it. My only thought is that the initial document the user uploads won't be a customized document. Is it possible to let the ServerDocument embed the customization work. and then process and return the new doc Sorry if this has been answered before, i've searched ar ...Show All

• SQL Server when is the appropriate time to fire t-logs backup

  Hi, Is it alright to run t-logs backup while complete or differential backup is still running in the background Objective is zero data loss and faster recovery time, which of the schedule is appropriate 1. full backup (weekly), then t-logs afterwards (round the clock, every 15 minutes), diff (daily) 2. full backup then differential then t-logs (round the clock,every 15 minutes) 3. full backup at the same time running the t-logs continuously, also while running diff backup (is this possible ) Jeff Irish wrote: maranbe, If zero dataloss is your goal perhaps you should be running a SQL 2005 Mirror. However, scenario 2 as presented should work. Full backup weekly, Differential Daily, Transaction Logs every 15 mins. The m ...Show All

• Visual Basic need to open a text file, rearrange contents, and save with a new filename

  I have several hundred job files from an earlier CAD program that I need to rearrange so they can be read by a newer CAD program. Each program can read and write ascii files, but the formats are different. The files are split into sections with a keyword at the beginning of each section (like *lines* or *parts* etc. ) and each section needs a different kind of rearranging. Not only that, each section contains descriptions for many entities. So I have a group that has a line with one format, then several lines of another format, for each entity. Not only that, but some of the sections require location data from the middle of the input line to be inserted in a new line which is to be inserted into middle of the entity description. ...Show All

• SQL Server Differentiate between fields of TWO Datasets in a single report

  Dear ppl, I have got 2 datasets D1 & D2 in a Report. How can i differentiate between the fields of these two. e.g. I got Name field in both the datasets. So when i do =Fields!Name.Value in a textbox the report gives me error How can i tell the report from which dataset to pick up the field Regards Nabeel Normally the text box will be nested in a list control which has a dataset property (when dataset has multiple rows). Alterantively if you just put the textbox directly into the body of the report, you can use an aggregation function which takes the dataset name as the second parameter e.g. =First(Fields!Name.Value, "DataSetName") ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlNode.CloneNode () equivalent for IXPathNavigable

  Hi all, Is it possible to deep clone an IXPathNavigable or XPathNavigator object, in the same way XmlNode.ConeNode(true) returns a copy of an XmlNode XPathNavigator exposes a Clone method but this simply returns a new navigator over the same XML. The scenario I'm facing is a method that accepts an IXPathNavigable object, among other parameters. The method needs to make a copy of the incoming IXPathNavigable, modify the values of the copy's children elements, and return the copy. Thanks in advance, Michael Found a possible solution after experimenting further: XPathNavigator.UnderlyingObject returns the object over which it is navigating (I think). The MSDN doco states "The UnderlyingObject property of an XPath ...Show All

• SQL Server Fulltext indexes on separate catalogs

  For performance reasons if I have 2 separate fulltext indexes on 2 separate tables, should they also be in two separate catalogs Will putting them in the same catalog slow things down. I assume that catalogs cannot span filegroups. Thanks for your replay. So is it faster to put the two fulltext indexes in two separate catalogs on two separate filegroups or is keeping it all in one catalog and one filegroup prettyy much the same ...Show All
