• SQL Server Standby reporting server

  We have a process wherein the production DB is replicated to a server.subscriberA nightly and then a job processes the database for reporting services. Whenever the job fails we have to redo the process all over again. By the time we are finished it is already late in the day and our customers dont like it. Our solution for a standby server is as follows: 1. create another server.subscriberB and start same process from server.subscriberA. So, both servers are replicated from the Production server but SubscriberB is set to run half an hour delayed than subscriberA. The purpose is that should subscriberA process fails, we still have subscriberB. Then we could just change the datasource of the reports to subscriberB 2. replicate subscriberA.R ...Show All

• Visual C# Method(new Object), when is the object released/disposed?

  Since there are quite a few .NET Framework methods that have a 'Method(new Object)' syntax, when is the Object get released/disposed How is the previous Object instance handled when you do this; Loop:   Method(new Object); EndLoop. Same question for 'Property = new Value' syntax. Loop:   Property = new Value; EndLoop. The object will go out of scope after the last reference to it in the called method. At this point it will be eligible for garbage collection, however there are no guarantees about when this will occur as it is not a deterministic process. The object will not be disposed even if it implements IDisposable as the Dispose() method is never called on it, however if it does ...Show All

• Visual Basic DeviceIOControl and SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT

  Hi, I'm trying to get data from a SCSI Inquiry command in VB. I'm using DeviceIOControl with SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT - the call goes through OK and DeviceIOControl returns 0, but I can't seem to get the expected data back - retBytes just contains 7 bytes of seemingly (but probably not) random data: (40, 4, 20, 0 , 40, 4, 20). Changing scsi.dataIn to 0 gets me 255 bytes of data, but not the data I should be getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I'm doing. offset as Byte is ignored for now, and fileHandle is a valid handle to \\.\F:. Private Function getVPDPage(ByVal offset As Byte, ByVal fileHandle As Long) As Byte() Dim status As Long Dim dIn As IntPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(255) Dim dOut As IntPtr = Ma ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro report tool bar

  After a report is generated and appears in a preview you get a small toolbar that floats undecked in full view of the info that you try to read. It was an annoyance until I had only 1 page in the report and once I moved the bar down the report page and believe it or not it DISAPPEARED behind the frame's lower edge. It was not a big alarm for me then since I had only one page but now I have many and the only way to flip pages as I can see is to get the toolbar back. I cannot possibly retreive it no matter what I try. When I moved the toolbar down I hoped that it would deck somewhere and become available as part of the frame but it is not what actually happened. The toolbar disappeared at design stage but the same form's report appe ...Show All

• Visual C# USB Device

  Hello How could I get notifications when an USB device is plugged in or out from USB port (for me have meaning only storage devices, not printers or scanners, or...) I tried to use WMI with 'Win32_LogicalDisk', but in this case all volumes are scanned, even floppy disk, and this isn't so nice (because of noises...;-) ) I also tried with 'CIM_USBDevice'. But in this case how could I get the drive letter asigned by Windows to this device (of course if it is a storage device). Another problem with 'CIM_USBDevice', was that I got no notifications about card inserted or removed from a card reader ( I need these notifications too). I'm using VS2005. Any ideea Thank you. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Two color progress bar or somesuch

  I'm looking for a component or control or something that I can use to visually display the times when something can or cannot occur. For example, a process will only run from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. The user can adjust the exact times. I want to graphically show this. It would look something like: **** **************** **** Except that it would be a solid line instead of asterisks. Any ideas It's kind of like a progress bar but with two colors and some extra properties. Thanks, Nah, use the Paint event of a Panel control and draw the lines with the e.Graphics.DrawLine() method.

• Windows Forms BindingSource.AddNew from a DataGridView

  I have a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource whose DataSource has been filled from a SQL table. A dgv popup menu offers an 'insert a copy' option, ie it allows the user to insert a new row initialised to values in the row under the mouseclick. I cannot insert rows at dgv level because direct dgv inserts are not permitted when a dgv is bound; evidently .NET 2 evidently wants me to use BindingSource.AddNew. Very well, I add a handler to be called by BindingSource.AddNew ... bindSrcMaster.AddingNew += new AddingNewEventHandler(bindSrcMaster_AddingNew); The popup menu item event handler for CopyRow can figure out which dgv row to copy ... private void CopyRow(object sender, EventArgs e) { ToolStripItem menuItem = sender as ToolStripItem ...Show All
