• SQL Server Search Stored Proc

  Does anyone know a way to seach through all databases on a SQL 2000 server looking for a particular stored proc by name Yes, please don't use undocumented stored procedures. You assume the risk of breaking your code or modifying behavior due to either changes made to the stored procedures or removal of such SPs. We have done such changes in SQL Server 2005 to some undocumented SPs that affected users. For this problem, you shouldn't rely on the database metadata for tracking your schema objects. You should use a source code control system with appropriate versioning to figure out which databases have what version of the schema, objects and so on. This is the best and safe method. ...Show All

• Visual C++ C# BackgroundWorker in C++

  Hello, I have a new C# application that we have develop in the last couple of weeks, and now we call it from a C++ application and run it in that solution. From that, it's works fine (with the \clr enabled). The problem that we've got, is that we use, in the C# app, a BackgroundWorker, which work fine in "local" mode (Alone, without C++). But when we run the same BGW with the app embedded in the C++ app, we've got a cross-thread exception. We try to figure where come the problems, we look the thread that runs, and there is the bug... In local mode, the BGW_doWork is running in a other thread, calling the ProccessChanged in the main thread(with the UI), that the good behavior, but when running embedded, the BGW_doWork is running ...Show All

• Visual C# Hit testing with foreach loop on Regions or GraphicsPath

  I have a code that looks like this on a MouseMove: foreach (myClass object in objectArray) { if (object.graphPath.IsVisible(e.Location) || object.graphPath.IsOutlineVisible(e.Location, myPen) { Cursor.Current = Cursors.Hand;} else { Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;} } myClass contains a GraphicsPath member called 'graphPath', for which I want to hit test with the mouse. The problem is that only the last element in the 'objectArray' is detected, that is, the cursor changes to a Cursors.Hand only when it hovers above the last GraphicsPath element of the array, but not when it hovers above the earlier ones on the client screen. Is there something wrong with my code I have proven that the array contained valid objects wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to transfer known types information?

  Hi All, I have a WCF service (let's call it main service). Multiple instances of this service can work on different computers in a network. I have another WCF service (load balancer) which performs load balancing between main service's instances. All clients' requests come to load balancer and are redirected to main service's instances. Load balancer's interface mimics the interface of the main service. But main service(s) also expose dynamic list of serializable types as Known types. These types are visible for load balancer but I need to make them visible for it's clients too. So I need to add them as load balancer's known types. As I said, the list of types is dynamic, I don't know these types in advance. It looks like I ...Show All
