• Visual C# How do I compare types in C#

  I want to check if an object is of a certain type, but the compiler keeps telling me that "x is a type and it is used like a variable". Can anyone please tell me how to do this I think the C# books I have consider this too easy a thing to be worth mentioning. Or I'm prolly not looking where I should. Nonetheless, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Razvan Use the is keyword, followed by the type name: Button button1 = new Button(); if (button1 is Control) {     // button is a control }   ...Show All

• Windows Forms WebBrowser control "Open/Save dialog" problem

  How can disable "Open/Save" dialog in WebBrowser control, that is shown every time it navigates to Excel or other Office documents In MSDN it says that it is possible to do this by deriving a new control from the WebBrowser control and providing custom implementation for IDocHostUIHandler .

• SQL Server Derived Column Logic to replace empty string with null?

  Ok.. so I have a fixed position data feed. I read the file in as just whole rows initially, process a specific position and evaluate a conditional split to determine direction of the file for proper processing (file contains multiple recors with different layouts). This all works fine. I then use the derived column feature to process all the columns. Most of the columns are as simple as SUBSTRING(RecordData,1,10) for example to get the first column. This all works for string data. I then have a column that is a date field. The problem occurs that the code SUBSTRING(RecordData,20,10) returns either a date or empty set of data if no date was in the original file. When this gets sent to the OLEDB connection (SQL Server 2005) into the date ...Show All

• SQL Server Error loading Query Execution Plan

  I am trying to tune a very long running query (18 minutes on an Axim X51, 8secs on my laptop), but I can't get the query plan file that is generated on the device to load in the Sql Server Management Studio.  I am using the Sql Everywhere CTP on the device, and version 9.00.2047 of the management studio shell. FWIW, when I try to create the execution plan by running the same query on a .sdf file local on my laptop, I get a similar error trying to view the query plan. Apart from the query plan issues, it would appear (just from the query execution time) that the indexes defined on the sdf file are not being used when executing the query on the device, but are being used when executing the query on the laptop.  This is pure S ...Show All

• Commerce Server Expression based export - BizTalk Adapter

  We need an expression based export of the Commerce Server Catalog for various feeds. These are from the same CS instance/web service endpoint, so I need to create different receive locations with different Expressions (the filter Products and Categories clause) - howevr they all must point to the same endpoint. BizTalk wont allow me to create more than one Receive Location which points at the same URL/endpoint in the same BizTalk application. How to get around this You should just put the RegistryKey string value and not the full key so I am not sure why you would specify a WOW key specifically. You should just put a unique string and let the adapter take care of where to place it in the registry. For instance, use "C ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies limit on number of files indexed?

  What is the limit on the # of files indexed My count for # of items indexed (in wds v2.6.5) never exceeds about 11% of my actual file count. (164,832 indexed of 1,500,000 actual files) Yes, I'm selecting all file/drives to index against. Yes, I've rebuilt the index more than once. I'm guessing that for folks here thinking of indexing their entire business' file sets, be they on servers or local, the index has to scale well beyond anything I've seen so far, and yet...

• Visual Studio Team System History of merge's?

  Is there any way to get history on if a particular changeset was merged into a particular branch If not, it would be nice if there is some way to pull this off. I guess if you had a work item associated you could relate both changes to the same work item, but sometimes there is not a direct correlation. In this case we don't use work items yet and a developer should have done a merge of changesets, but I can't think of an easy way to tell other than just try to compare files. Granted since merges involved manual steps to do merging, a merge may not be able to have a direct correlation with a changeset, since there may have been changes to the changeset to do the actual merge, it still would be an interesting view as it at least track ...Show All
