• Visual C++ CEdit Pagedown scroll problem

  I've got a CEdit that is displaying a string of data that is going off the page. I do not want the edit to scroll when I press the page down button. I just want the CEdit to display my text and chop off the bottom of the text. Do I need to write my own CEdit Well, if you don't want the user to be able to see the text that does not fit into the edit box, then you may as well strip the string of the extra characters before setting the edit box text. The other alternative is to handle wm_keydown and check for VK_NEXT (page down key). ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging Packages Execution

  Hello all, I am struggling around defining a logging mechanism for my packages. I have 2 questions concerning that matter: I have used event handlers for my loggings (as defined here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/06/11/1593.aspx ), but the problem is with packages that failed validation. I cannot find log entry for these cases since no "onerror event" doesn't trigger (for instance when the table I'm loading to doesn't exsist). And the second question: many of my packages are executed using execute process task (using dtexec command line). I am trying to capture the result of the execution as a log file by using the ">" in the command line in order to output the execution to a lo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA/Xbox 360 memory management heads-up...

  I was just browsing through some docs on the 360's heap manager, and it turns out it is a compacting mark and sweep collector rather than the generational model used on the desktop... So... what's the deal regarding: Large block allocation (will it have a large object heap like the desktop version ) GC pauses times (do all threads halt during GC) Rico Mariani recommends a heap size equivalent to the Gen 0 size on the desktop, i.e. ~cache size. That seems way too small unless we are dumping lots of game data into unmanaged memory! Andy. Maybe docs was the wrong word ... anyhow it was: http://blogs.msdn.com/ricom/archive/2006/08/22/713396.aspx I guess a lot of it is based upon the notion that the 360 runti ...Show All

• .NET Development RegEx MatchEvaluator, how to write a oneliner?

• Software Development for Windows Vista Audio Playback problems in Vista and Windows Server 2003

  We make a dll that is able to play any number of Audio files using subgraphs patched one or to any number of audio renderers present in the machine. It also does samplerate conversion and scales any bitdepth of sample. The problem is that on XP/2000 it works fantastic and when you try and run it on either Vista or Server 2003 it becomes unpredictable/unresponsive and you loose control over the subgraphs. I have trie reading all sorts of documenation and what others experienced but found nothing that explains or helps me to correct the problem. I suspect (pretty sure) the threading have been altered in the directshow but would like to have this confirmed and what im supposed to do about it. BMS-Joppe Are you talking ab ...Show All

• SQL Server XML versus sql querry

  Hello, I have a question regarding building asp.net app with membership I have an asp.net application with membership. Members have their attributes and those attributes together present users's profile. I am asking myself, which solution would be better to display user's profile to other users (frequently). 1. on each request data would be grabbed from userProfile table and other tables where parameters have their descriptive names. For example. Field userEducation would be of tiny integer type and you would read english description of that parameter from table parameterEducation (like id 1 idDesc primary schooll) etc. 2. second solution is some routine which would build xml file with all user attributes, after user complete his/ ...Show All

If you have a lot of index fragmentation, this can free up a lot of space. You can also try shrinking your data and log files like this: DBCC SHRINKFILE ( N 'YourFileName_dat' , 0 , TRUNCATEONLY ) http://glennberrysqlperformance.spaces.live.com   ...Show All
