• SQL Server UDT - SQL Server 2005 - How to add custom properties in C# ?

  Hello to everyone, I've a question about UDTs and the way I can use them to access tables and columns where they are applied in a SQL Server 2005 DB . I've already spent 2 days googling and MSDN reading but nothing helped me to solve my problem, thats why I'm posting it here (this is the second post, maybe the last one was in the wrong Forum). The scenario follows: I've created a UDT called MyUDT that exposes 2 properties MyTable , MyColumn , here its the code: [Serializable] [SqlUserDefinedType(Format.UserDefined, IsByteOrdered = true, MaxByteSize = 8000, Name = "MyUDT")] public class MyUDT : INullable, IBinarySerialize {     private string _myTable;     private string _myColumn; .. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Question on including header files to project in VC++

  The question might sound dilly but couldnt find a proper answer. I created a new project in VC++ 6.0 and included an existing header file into it but when I try to use it in a cpp file (also in the same project), I still have to include the header file specifying its exact location. I thought if i add the header file to the project, i can just write # include "xxx.h" in my cpp file and the header file would be automatically found. Instead I am having to write the path of the header file in the include. Am I missing something Thanks, KarthikR If the file you mentioned(header) is in same folder as cpp you want to include this header in, then # include "xxx.h" will work. xxx.h must be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing a line?

  I've looked at a few threads regarding this, but to be honest, when it comes to primitives, I havent a clue (I'm a 2D relic), now loading images etc etc is pretty simple stuff, I looked in the docs and found an example that is pretty much overkill to my needs, and its just a jumble. All I'm after is how to draw a line from x,y to destinationX, destinationY. Can someone run through it for me, maybe explain a little whats going on, as I'd like to know, it should be simple, but alas, its confusing the life out of me! :D Thanks in advance Dabz It is not as simple in XNA as it was with GDI to draw lines and shapes. Heres a few links that might help: http://blogs.msdn.com/manders/archive/2007/01/07/lines-2d-thick-rounded-li ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Timer based movement

  Hi, Previously I've had to take into account the time it takes (ms) to complete a game loop and multiply player movement etc. by that factor - I guess this is something one doesn't have to worry about in XNA e.g. if I dev a windows game it'll play ok across other (lower/higher) spec machines automatically (will just be more jerky (but not slower as such)) if a machine is slower, but remain smooth (i.e. not speed up the game play) if its quicker than my machine Also I'm wondering how to ensure the speed I play at on my machine in debug is the same speed I'll get when its played on a 360. Sorry for all the questions! Cheers :) Yes, the default settings for the game template locks the Update routine in at ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem in using Try/Catch/Finally

  A textbox(T_TextBox) is bound to a float-type number in a database. The innitial value of the textbox is from that column of the database. I used these codes in my program: Dim T as Double Try T = Double.Parse(T_TextBox.text) Catch MsgBox("Please enter a number for T.") Finally End Try The problem is: every time before I run the program, a message box saying "Please enter a number of T." shows up. This problem only happens at the very beggining. When I change the text later (I select another number from the database, and this is done through a combobox), this message does NOT show up. Anyone knows how to get rid of the msgbox at the begging Thanks, Lili I don't know ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Menustrip render mode difference?

  Hey, With a menustrip what is the difference with the Rendermode called ManagerRendermode and Proffesional becuase they both look the same... Thanks :) Professional (and System) tell the toolstrip what render mode to use exactly. ManagerRenderMode tells the ToolStrip to use the RenderMode property of the ToolStripManager class. The result is that if you have many toolstrips and use ManagerRenderMode it's easy to switch between Professional and System (or a custom renderer) by setting the ToolStripManager.RenderMode property somewhere in your code. ...Show All

• SQL Server Get Previous step result in an SSIS Script Task

  Hello, I am using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to create new values for my tables. One step I must do is execute a query and the script task that receive its constraint (it is set to completion) must do different things depending on the query result. My question is: how can I know the result of the precedence constraint Thank you, Pablo Orte Hi and thanks for your replies, The problem I have is that I have to do this in a script task situated after an "Execute SQL". This cannot return any parameter and I need to have something in the code like this IF objDTSPackage.Steps("DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1").ExecutionResult = 0 THEN This code wor ...Show All

• SQL Server Linked Server issue

  I have a problem querying a linked server connected via the OleDB provider for ODBC. This is the DataDirect 32-BIT SequeLink 5.4 client driver connecting to a FileMaker Pro 8 database. I've tested this in VB.net 2005 by adding an ODBC connection in server explorer and a data grid to a form. I can run the tooty and the data loads in the grid with no errors what so ever. So using the above ODBC connection I added a linked server called 'DNA' and run the following query on the Stock_DNA table. SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ( DNA , 'SELECT * FROM Stock_DNA' ) The result I get is this; OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DNA" returned message "Requested conversion is not supported.".

• SQL Server Disappear the generic bar.

  Hallo all : How to disappear the generic bar in the report, or to disappear some options (example export). I speak about the bar which in the top of the report or there are the numbers of pages. Thank's. Right-click on the report once it has finished retrieving data and select properties. You can use the URL in the properties to point to a report that does not have the toolbar. (using /reportserver/ url instead of /reports) There are also rc: commands to turn off the toolbars. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152835.aspx cheers, Andrew ...Show All

• Visual C# Memory usage increases when you switch between Design view and Source view in Visual Studio 2005

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. Wow, word wrap causing this!!! Is there a hot fix to fix both of these issues yet Cause man, ...Show All

• Visual Studio # character causing errors in compiled help files.

  Hello, I hope this is the right place to post this. I've been building help files using the Sandcastle help file builder and the GUI frontend developed by EWSoftware. The help file compiles fine, but when I move it to a folder with a # symbol in the path (ie: /code/head/c#/docs/.... ) it cannot load the internally compiled HTML. When I look at the URL it's trying to load the path stops at the # symbol. Obviously this issue is easily avoided by placing the help file in a path with no # characters, but I was wondering whether this behaviour is a bug or by design It would be a shame if our clients were to get errors in the help file due to their choice of install directory. Is there any way around this Thanks, Dave ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need Help writing a program for cosine.

  I am in a computer course where we have to calculate an angle in radians and somehow use a factorial, taylor series. Were supposed to use a while or do while loop. heres what our debug should look like Enter number .23 Enter the number of significant digits 5 The cosine of 0.23 is 0.97367 Thanks for any help, Ben The number of significant digits is no doubt to be used to determine how many terms to calculate. There's a way to calculate the maximum error from truncating the series. First year of college calculus, too long ago for me to remember. I'd say the OP has enough sample code to get started on the homework assignment. If not too much. ...Show All
