There are problems using OLEDB and unc path names Why there is not an updated odbc driver from Microsoft for newer versions of Foxpro ! !! ! Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ Matrices of constant data

  Why is it that the compiler can convert from 'int *' to 'const int *', but not from 'int **' to 'const int **' An example is included. Any thoughts would be appreciated. #include <stdio.h> int main() { int A[] = {0, 1}; A[0] = 2; const int * X = A; // ok printf("%d\n",X[0]); int B[] = {1, 2}; int C[] = {3, 4}; int * D[] = {B, C}; D[0][0] = 5; const int ** Y = D; // not ok //int ** Y = D; // ok printf("%d\n",Y[0][0]); return 0; } Thanks, Mike. This seems to be effectively saying that you cannot make the entries of a matrix constant without at the same time making the rows constant. ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File to SQL Destination - Unused Columns Warning

  I have a flat file data source and SQL Server destination data flow. Only a subset of columns from the source are mapped to the destination. During execution SSIS returns DTS pipline warnings for every unmapped source column.

• .NET Development Abortable thread with return value

  Hello, There are two possible solutions that would work for me here... Requirements are as follows: I want to run a task in the background. The task returns a value, which I need to collect. I also need to be able to abort the task. I can use Thread.Start, and then Thread.Abort if I need to stop it, but I can't find a way to get a return value by this method. Alternatively, I can use BeginInvoke, which makes it easy to get a return value using EndInvoke, but then I can't seem to find a way to abort the thread. Either method would be fine. Any suggestions Thanks, Nick you could set the value as a global variable and get that value after you have aborted the thread, setting the value withi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Let's go to work on an FAQ for this Forum

    The concerted work that goes on here in really impressive. I'm also thinking about a mass mailed note I received from S. Somesegar, corporate VP of Microsoft development. He said that MS Engineers were not alone in building VS2005. Customers had a lot  to do with it to make it as neat as it is. Continuing in that vein, I though it may be a contribution to see if we can't put together an FAQ that will take care of a large number of the routine questions. If you'd like to contribute to this let's try the following: In a post to this thread, add: 1.) A Title 2.) A fully stated question in FAQ form 3.) The best answer you can come up with. After a while.... We'll all review this and see if w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions IDE Question about braces

  In Beginning Visual C# 2005 Express Edition by Peter Wright it states that Visual Studio will automatically insert closing braces. When you enter a { followed by Enter , the VS editior will automatically drop in a closing } as well. This does not seem to work this way for me and I have been unable to locate an option that would turn this feature on. What am I missing Now that I have actually thought about the idea, I agree, after one brace has been entered it would be a great benifit if the closing brace was entered for you. I know from experiance that its normaly something stupid like a closing brace that stops my app from building the first time around, may be its an idea for the next version (well ...Show All
