• SQL Server The IDMClusteringAlgorithm interface

  Good morning, Well... I'm implementing a clustering algorithm following the examples given on the Managed Plugin Algorithms tutorial. As the samples are in C# and I'm implementing it on C++, I'm facing some problems, but nothing really significant. But I've some conceptual questions about the implementation: 1) It necessary to implement the IDMClusteringAlgorithm interface in order to implement the ClusterMembership() and the CaseLikelihood() methods, right 2) The changes needed to be done on the Navigation class have nothing to do specifically with clustering. These changes are only to set calculated statistics to be shown, and if I want, I can simply don't implement them. Is this correct 3) Is there any documentation on ...Show All

• Visual C# need help in regular expression

  I'm building a search and replace tool. I'm searching for strings in the correct case so I'm using regular expression (unless there are other string functions that can handle search in the correct casing, is there any ). But in my regex my problem is if the search string has special characters like [.\^$], etc. How do I make sure that my string is being evaluated by the regex as literal Here's my method: private static bool StringContains( string line, string searchString, bool matchCase) { //problem here with regex, what i wanted is to search for the literal string searchString //if searchString has special characters like . \ ^ $, it will use this in the regex //so if my search string is ".css" ...Show All

• Windows Forms Rename designed components programmatically

  I'm implementing a control similar to the VS Document Outline as a TreeView object populated with components. I need to be able to change the component's name by editing the TreeNode's text. What is the correct way (so that the change registers with PropertyGrid, UndoEngine, etc) to programmatically change the name of a designed component Just changing Site.Name isn't good enough. You need to implement a NameCreationService class: [ Serializable ] internal class NameCreationService : INameCreationService { public string CreateName ( System . ComponentModel .

• Visual C# C#.net or C# 2005

  Hello everyone, I have some intermediate knowledge on C programming and wish to learn C#. Searching through the bookshop, found there are two difference thing: C#.net or C# 2005. What is the difference between these two And in term of syntax level, is there any difference There is only one language with name C# which is usually refered to as Visual C#, C#.Net etc. C# 2005 is nothing more than a new version its also called C# 2.0 there are lots of new features and enhancements in this version.

• Visual Basic why my clickonce downloading not completed?

  I made publish for new version of my application, what happen is, One of my customer download 60% of my new version, and stop. what is the problem We're also seeing a similar problem intermittently while starting up our application. The application is started and the ClickOnce framework is doing a check to see if any updates are available and instead of handling the bad network connection, it fails to startup the application entirely. This seems to happen most often on laptops with wireless connections especially in bad network conditions where the network goes up and down. My guess is that the ClickOnce checks initially for the no network condition, but this passes and so the failure is ungracefully handled later. Is there somet ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ and .NET Runtime Version

  Hi! I know that it is impossible to load different versions of the .NET Runtime into one Win32 process. We are writing components for a host, that is working with the .NET Framework 3.0 (and therefore .NET Runtime Version 2). Our components should use LINQ. As far as I know LINQ CTP preview is working on the same .NET Runtime version. But what about the final release Will the final release still operate within an environment that hosts .NET Runtime Version 2 Thx in advance, Jorn hi, my question is similar to the original post above, except for Beta 1. i have been using the May CTP LINQ libraries with some .net 2 web projects and it's been great, i just bundled the System.Data.DLINQ dlls etc to the server ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB Express (INKEY$) function.

  I have just finished writing my first VB Express program (Sub Search). I often found myself wanting to do an INKEY$ function as I used to do in Quick Basic. I want the program to pause, and wait for me to hit a keyboard key... then to analyze that keystroke, and branch-off to various points. I have seen references to such a capability (keydown & others) but have not been able to decode the directions to the point that I can apply it to my program.

I teach a college course in programming for beginners and we are currently using VB.NET for Console applications. The GUI gets i ...Show All

• SQL Server OpenQuery() to Linked Server hangs, leaving SPID with open tran, then templog.ldf grows without limit.

  Hi, We have a customer that is using SQL Server 2000, and experiencing the following intermittent problem -- occasionally templog.ldf will grow and grow until it fills the entire disk. This is a rare problem, it has happened less than 10 times in the past two years, for a job that runs once a minute. But it has happened on 3 different SQL Servers, (two production servers, and one test server). Our suspicion is that the root cause is an OPENQUERY() to pull data from a linked server (Oracle database on Unix). We have seen that these OPENQUERY() statements occasionally hang and cannot be killed. The OPENQUERY() is used to populate a local table, and when we originally populated permanent tables with OPENQUERY(), then there would be a ...Show All

• SQL Server New accounts in SQL 2005 that were not there in SQL 2000

  We are in the mist of a SQL project that also includes tighting the locking down of our SQL Servers. We generally remove certain accounts from security such as Built-in\Administrators. On SQL 2000, this is pretty straight forward. However SQL 2005 adds a few new accounts that we must take into account. Once we load SQL 2005, NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, <servername>\SQLServer2005MSFTEUSER$<servername>$<instancename> now appears. Althought they are not in any obvious server roles or has access to any databases. I also noticed these accounts are denied permissions to connect to the database engine althought the login is enabled. In addition, there are a number of Local Windows groups that wer ...Show All

  Here's a little preview of something I'm just about done with. It's pretty self explanatory. It's a screensaver gadget that will allow you to select a screensaver to display. Here's a screenshot of it using the ribbons screensaver from Vista. http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/markhsch/picture1718045.aspx -Mark By using a UserControl class, you've taken over most of the events . Putting a dropshadow border around it is your simplest option to get the settings to show. As for passing mouse events back, so drag is possible. I'm not sure it's possible, unless there's a way to cancel event handling in a usercontrol class. You could try canceling then onmousedown event , but I doubt it will have the desired result: protected override vo ...Show All
