• SQL Server Dependant assemblies in CLR

  This is related to one of my previous posts. I am running a CLR stored proc that goes to an EDS (Novell) server with LDAP and returns records into a SQL table. I am using the Novell ldap library. I want to do this with SSL so my code referneces the Mono security library as well. However when I make the call to the stored proc to run in SSL, I get an object not found error. I do not think that the the Novell assembly can "find" the Mono assembly. Two points: 1/ I can do the SSL if I run it as an asp.net page (so I know the SSL works) 2/ The proc runs and pulls all the records in non-SSL (so I know the proc works) Any ideas Thanks, BIG Hi BIG, Are you loading the Novell library into SQL One r ...Show All

• Visual C# Typedefs for Generics, Anyone?

  It seems kinda awkward to have to write this: SortedDictionary<String,String> myThing = new SortedDictionary<String,String>(); It would be nice to do something like this: using myMap = SortedDictionary<String,String>; myMap myThing = new myMap(); ...but I can't get that to compile. Is there any relief for the weary In other words, how do I do this Aha!!! I found a BCL type enum that now allows me to use this "typdef" feature, like this: using defTypeMux = System.Collections.Generic. SortedDictionary <System. Int32 , System. TypeCode >; That works great!!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio There seems to be a problem with inspecting ref class base element in VS8 debugger for C++/cli

  hi When in e.g. Locals I have some thing like the following: - this //inspected this and expands its members - t1 // OK t1 is a member of this - [T1<T2^>^] // OK t1 is of type T1 - T1base<T2^>^ // OK T1base is the base of T1 - T1base<T2^>^ // WRONG T1base is not the base of T1base (neither do it contain an T1base) - T1base<T2^>^ // WRONG again + T1base<T2^>^ // and once more, hm... this seem to be a recursition problem, you can go on forever this way, and will infact not be able to inspect the base classes true members!!! br jho The beta (with these fixes in) is available now, you can get it via connect: htt ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is data mining use too little in business?

  Hello everybody,   There have been a lot of promising words around about data mining for (at least) the last decade. If one investigates how much data mining is applied in business, it can be concluded that this is rather limited. Currently I am investigating the possible causes of this limited data mining usage for my Master Thesis of Industrial Engineering and Management. This investigation includes a literature study and input a couple of experts from the data mining field.   Currently I want to check my results for two aspect with aid of other data mining practitioners:   Is my analysis of possible causes complete (iow: what is missing )   Are the identified causes recognized confirme ...Show All

• Visual C++ Failure to repaint

  I have to make an animation - looping a few thumbnails on a dialog. For this i first bitblt the thumbnails on a canvas and then bitblt this canvas onto the dialog. But I also need to have a combobox on the top above the canvas. But whenever I minimize the dialog of move it, the region above the canvas gets all blotted and doesnt repaint. I am doing all the animation in my OnPaint() and am also calling the Invalidate(). I cannot call UpdateWindow() as this slows down my whole app. I hope someone can help me with this. Is there is way by which i can throw the combobox on the canvas Any help would be appreciated. Rahul I am using a separate thread to set an event for me ever 10 miliseconds. In my OnPai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why have nested transaction rules changed?

  I'm very annoyed by the change in nested transactions. Previously it was perfectly ok to nest a transaction with a different isolation level to the current Tx providing it didn't ask for a stronger isolation level. Now it seems it has to be exactly the same. This has made porting from Enterprise Services to System.Transaction a complete nightmare! Why the change, it makes a mockery of ambient transactions since now every component has to understand what Tx they're in...surely this is a mistake or I've missed something Thanks for the reply and the clarification. I empathise with the dilema of, should we do exactly what the nested component wants, should we error or should we enlist it but at our current isolation level. Persona ...Show All

• Visual C# caching at application start up????

  I am working on my first web app and I implemented caching in my C# classes (BLL). Now while developing the application I noticed that not all data is going to be displayed to the user. Some of the data is being used by the application, for example all the different email messages that can be send out to the users, such as ForgotPassword, WelcomeNewUser etc. My approach is that the data is being cached when the user pulls up the data. Usually I get a subset of data, for example 10 records at a time, and cache them. When I need the data again I check first the existing cache to see if it has been cached and if it has get the data from the cache. Now my problem is with a table like EmailMessages the user is never pulli ...Show All

• SQL Server Two approaches: which one is recommended?

  I need to import a CSV file with a few million records and 50 fields into a table. Only 1 column in the file needs to be transformed and a second column needs to be checked for data validity (e.g. don't want to let someone pass in 'CA' for an integer field.). Two approaches come to mind: 1. Use SSIS to read the file directly into the table, then apply t-sql to do a mass update to the single field that needs to be transformed. (with this approach it is not clear how to check the data valdity in each row via t-sql, though). 2. Use SSIS to import the file, 1 line at a time, transforming the data and checking its validity.as it goes. I suspect this approach will be much slower than that in 1) but I haven't tried it yet. Which way do y ...Show All

• SQL Server How to update a column in input dataset with 'NA' if it's null

  Do I have to use condition split , then union all if in script, I can use update from <tablename> Set column = isnull(column, 'NA'). It's so simple.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Live Communications Server tab does not show up

  I have just installed Live Communications Server 2005 Standard in my test enviroment. I have a seperate server as a Domain Controller (all servers are Virtual Servers on one physical machine). When I followed all the steps during installation, no errors show up. Also, the HTML log files only display green 'success' items. However, when I open the User Properties window on my DC, there is no Live Communications Server tab. It should show up there, but it isn't. Also, when I open the Live Communications Server Management Console, I only see an empty screen and no 'tree-view' of possibilities. When I manually add the snap in after running mmc, it works and I can see the Forest, Domain, etc. Nothing, except the Management Console, di ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting sink configuration problems

  OK, I have a Remoting server/client program and I am porting the server side of the app to be a Windows service. Unfortunately, Visual Studio stubbornly refuses to ensure that the Remoting .config file ends up where it needs to be and the server fails. I need to move my Remoting configuration code back inside my program so that I am not dependent upon an external file but have been unable to get my sinks properly configured in code. Unfortunately, Rammer's Advanced .NET Remoting seems to be obsessed with using the .config files and I have been unable to find any good examples of how to hook up multiple channels in code. The commented line in my code below is where the error is coming from: Error 16 Cannot implicitly convert type 'Sys ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Whether my understanding right?

  Hi, One silly question, but wanted to clarify in the begining itself. for the coded webtest, you can either write in the codedwebtest part or written outside can be added as a plugin right i am confused whether i am right. If i am wrong, kindly guide which part helps in whateverway. Thanks in advance - Vijay. In plugins you can override the PreWebTest or PostWebTest (for WebTest plugins) and the PreRequest or PostRequest (for Request plugins) handlers. In the coded test you can do the same things, one difference is that in a coded web test you can handle the request events for individual requests as opposed to them running for all requests as they will in a request plugin. You can even use plugins w ...Show All
