• .NET Development ConnectionString as app.config value

  In Visual Studio 2003/.net framework 1.1, I could use the designer of a component class to create an SqlConnection and then set the DynamicProperties of this object to use a config file key (app or web.config). I can't find this option in Visual Studio 2005 when working with an SqlConnection object in a designer. Do I have to get this value from the config file by coding now The designer should be automatically adding connection string entries to the application config file. Did you look for the connectionStrings section ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I replace all occurance of a string except when it's enclosed with a special tag?

  Hello, Let's say I have a variable named: someVar which contains the following: href wow nice this <a href="cp.com">cow duck john</a> text etc And I want to replace: "href" with "link". I can't do: someVar.Replace("href", "link"); Because that will change: <a href="cp.com"> ! So, how can I replace all the occurances of "href" when it's not part of an HTML tag Please help. Tangfx, Your regular expression also has a problem if single quotes are used instead of double quotes. Perhaps altering it slightly to this href( !\s*=\s*( :\"|')) would be better. ...Show All

• SQL Server Is Conversion from SQL Server Express to Full SQL Server Required?

  If I develop my app in SQL Server 2005 Express, and then want to use a hosting service that only offers full SQL Server 2005, do I have to do some kind of conversion to my DB file, and if so, what might that be   (I notice that there are hosting services that provide SQL Server Express...I'd like to know how much work it would be to be able to use other services.) Any guidance on this would be appreciated. Thanks! Glenn, thanks for the input. I'm assuming in the scenario you describe that I would upload the mdf and ldf files to "my" directory on the hosted service systems, and then the operations you suggest would be performed from there...is that correct ...Show All

• SQL Server how to loop through several excel sheets in a file in integration services

  Hello, I'm new at Integration services and I have an excel file with information in several worksheets. I want to loop through some specific sheets to retrieve the data and save it in a database table. I know how to retrieve the data from one sheet, but I don't know how to do it for several sheets. Any ideas ...I would appreciate any help. Andre, I actually don't know if SSIS can 'delete' or 'truncate' an excel sheet; What i know though, is SSIS is accessing the excel file using and OLE DB provider for Microsoft Jet; so each sheet is treated as table. With this said; do yourself a favor, research arround Microsoft Jet 4.0, its OLE DB provider and may be you will see your options around what you want to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Protection level to high

  I have made a game with 2 classes one for the game, and one for the sky box. For the skybox to function properly the class SkyBox needs to get some information from the Gam1 class. When i made a reference on the skybox class to the game1 class it said "Error 1 'Game1.modelRotation' is inaccessible due to its protection level" case 0: //back f = Vector3 .Dot(Game1.modelRotation, new Vector3 (0,0,1)); break ; I think the solution may be to make an instance of game1 somehow but being a C# noob i am unsure on how to fix this. If anyones got any ideas that would be great You need to add a modifier to the member declarations. Here is an example that should help: GraphicsDev ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System source language

  Hello, does somebody know if it is possible to determine, if a particular assembly was created from a cpp file Or, more generally, to determine in which language the sources were written I thought i could get the information from the sourceContext.Document.Language (or by analysing the filename) but it seems not to work properly (or I'm trying to do it the wrong way). However the Document object is allways null (Pdb's are there).  Best regards, Anton Papst. CCI (the binary reader FxCop uses) was orginally designed to raise AST's from source file, however, FxCop only uses the binary reader, SourceContext.Document.Language is not used (or known).
