• Visual Basic Displaying hexadecimal data as float. What sort of result are you after?

  My setup is: SQL Server 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (VB) I have a SQL Server database that gets a large C++ data structure that contains longs and floats serialized as an ASCII string where all bytes were converted to hex. The bytes have to be reversed because of endieness. I have been tasked with creating a page to dispaly the parsed data. I know that I can extract the data in groups of 4 (for the longs) and 8 (for the floats). I can convert the hex to decimal, but it is converting to a very large integer type value instead of the expected decimal. I have tried to search the web, but have found very little to aid. The closest used a function similar to the C++ memcpy. This did not seem to be available in my case. A sample of t ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA Outlook - File Stream issues

  I am trying to write a script triggered from an Outlook email to parse the email (as a text file) and then update an excel spreadsheet with specific data extracted from the email. The email is a form email delineated by a "/" for field breaks and "//" for end of line. However, when I create a text stream to read in the data, the returned string does not include these delineations. Here is a copy of the code I am currently using to open and read the file. I don't want to open the entire email as a new workbook, so I can't use the workbook function. Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile("file.txt", ForReading, TristateTrue) check = True Do s = ts.Readline endlinepos = InStr(s, "//") Do While en ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS C++ Forms Designer

  I'm having a few problems with the C++ windows form designer. I love being able to create forms in C++ by dragging and dropping controls, etc. but it seems very easy to break this functionality. The current problem or issue is this: If you create a new form in a project (Add New Item -> Windows Form) you are shown the form in designer view. You can then make changes, add controls, save it etc. You can of course also view the code i.e. everything is hunky dory. However if you then at some point (and after saving it) choose to exclude it from the project and then add it back to the project you lose the ability to view the form with the designer. You can't right click on the file in the solution explorer window and choose the view de ...Show All

• SQL Server How to generate reports from SSIS

  Hi All, I want to know how to generate a report from SSIS, for example, a report telling what has changed to a table. Thanks, TPK TPK1216 wrote: Hi All, I want to know how to generate a report from SSIS, for example, a report telling what has changed to a table. Thanks, TPK Phil is right, this is nothing to do with SSIS. If you want to audit change to a table then look to utilise DML & DDL triggers. If you want to *really* get into auditing changes to tables then check out Japer Smith's DDL Audit apps: http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp ID=113 Really really good stuff.

• Software Development for Windows Vista mouse cursor is not tracked properly in fullscreen application

  Hi, The game I'm working on has worked fine on Xp. Only problem now in vista is that it won't track mouse cursor at startup and screen is overlapped with other windows which were opened before running the game. Both problems go away after alt-tabbing. What could be the cause and fix Will be very appreciated. Thank you This is a good question for general Vista development. Details about what your code language is, the API's you are calling, etc are necessary to look into this issue. Try looking into your code that does painting to the screen and/or handling of messages related to screen painting. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How can you set variables to Nothing when using Return?

  Here's a hum dinger.... It's my understanding that it's good programming practice to set variables to nothing when you are done using them, however, how are you supposed to do this when a return statement is involved.  It's a catch 22... you cannot set the variable to nothing before you return it, and you cannot set the variable to nothing after you return it because no statements after "return" run. e.g. Public Function ReturnSomeCrap() As Crapola Dim SomeCrap As Crapola SomeCrap = New Crapola("100 lbs") Return SomeCrap End Function So, where and how do I set SomeCrap = Nothing, since I have to have it to return, and I cannot do it after the return In the examples, he is disposing the resources (someC ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums error in formula

  Hi, This is a formula that I am creating for a cell. The system complains that there is an error on ISDATE (where I have indicated with below) : How can this be solved please Thanks =IF(LOWER(E20)="ia-q",IF(ISDATE(D62),"YES",IF(LOWER(E20)="ia-r-q",IF(ISDATE(D62),"YES",IF(LOWER(E20)="ia-st",IF(ISDATE(D62),"YES",IF(LOWER(E20)="ia-lm",IF( ISDATE (D62),"YES", "NO")))))))) I believe the cause is the IF function, instead of ISDATE function.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies moving documents

My question: how to move documents from one (i.e. personal) doc library to an other (i.e. public location). Found only a context menu entry for copy, where I have to know the target URL. Which "standard" user knows the target URL Is there any possibility for browsing Thanks in advance, Jens Are you trying to move docs within the same site collection In that case you can move using the content and structure page (If you have MOSS, you should see a link in settings.aspx). When you choose move in the context menu, you will get a target picker to pick the target doc lib. ...Show All
