• .NET Development What is the signifigance of maxstack in IL or "Which set accessor is more efficient?"

  Hi there, I was hoping that someone could help me to understand something. For the longest time, whenever I've written a set accessor for a property in c# I've done an equality test on the value before assigning it to an internal variable. I really wasn't sure why except that I had seen MS doing that in some examples and figured MS knew best. Today I decided to find out if an equality test was more or less efficient or whatever and came up with a confusing result. If I do the follwing assignment: public string Path { get { return m_path; } set { m_path = value; } } I generate some fairly simple IL: .method public hidebysig specialname instance void set_Path(string 'value') cil managed { // Code size 9 (0x9) .ma ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional Split Question

  I have a package which has a conditional task which directs rows to its respective OLEDB command. The records are sorted from the source system in chronological order. The problem I am experiencing is that some of the operations do not seem to be occurring in the same order. An example of this would be someone inserts a record, deletes the record and reinserts in the record in that order. When we run the package we can see the records are coming down in chronological order but the delete from the split seems to occur after the inserts. Has anyone else experienced this Is there anything I might be missing to ensure things happen in the order they should Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Visual C++ VS2005 C++ compiler bug?

  I do not know if this is the best forum to report a MS VC++ compiler bug (please advise if I should post this to another forum). In the process of migrating code from VC6 to VC8 (i.e. Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition) I have stumbled across what I believe is a C++ compiler bug in the handling of template functions invoking the function call operator. Details and other ramblings below (after the example code that exposes the problem). #include <algorithm> #include <list> #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> class A { public : // explicit initialising constructor (made explicit to avoid implicit conversions or casts) explicit A ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagrid problem - SelectedIndexChanged

  Hi, hope someone can help. Using ASP1.1 w/ VS2002. I am getting an ArgumentOutOfRangeException in the SelectedIndexChanged Event for my datagrid. I am happy to go into more detail if required, but I hope it is something simple to fix. When my datagrid had a datasource hard-wired in the datagrid properties, I was able to select the datarow to display a child view in another grid and assign some values for the parent selected row to a session object. I have now found that to be able to apply a search (filter) on the parent grid, I had to remove this datasource from the datagrid properties and then apply a dataview with a rowfilter and bind it to the grid programmatically. The searching/filtering works fine for the main grid, but, w ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to display a pop-up in CompactFramwork

  Hi, I'm developing an IM application, in which i want to show a pop-up window when ever a buddy changes his status( some thing similar to the one in yahoo and jabber which show a pop-up window at the bottom-right on the desktop when a user changes his state). I did'nt find any direct way to do this. I can't use a messageBox because i can't display a messagebox without any buttons on it and i've to close that messagebox explicitly. What actually i wan't is a pop-up window which gets displayed at one corner on the PPC and disappears after few seconds. It should respond to a user-click, i.e it should open a chat-window when ever the user clicks on it. Can any one tell me how i could do this. Do i need to downlo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Windows forms help

  Hello everybody i wonder if you can fill a hole in my understanding of programming windows. I am trying to develop a very basic windows forms application. I have a class called class1 and another called game. It is my understanding that the autogenerated form1.h is also a class. Maybe this is because i don't understand. Anyway from game i can declare a pointer of type class1 and access class1's data members, functions etc from a function inside game. I can also declare a pointer of type form1. However when i come to access form1's data members using this pointer it won't let me alter them it just says: error C2227: left of '->richtextbox1' must point to class/struct/union/generic typ Here is the code: //game.h #pragma once cla ...Show All

• SQL Server Questions about "Dimension Processing Destination" & "Analysis Services processing Task"

  First I will thanks for any friends open this one. My questions is: 1.What's the diffrent between Processing a dimension by "Dimension Processing Destination" or just by "Analysis Services processing Task" I found that I could do the same work by both, and the MSDN tell nothing about the diffrence. 2.Why the Process Option in the "Dimension Processing Destination" is diffrent to the Process Option in the "Analysis Services processing Task" to deal with a dimension In the "Analysis Services processing Task",the Option is the same with the MSDN, without the "incremental" option. But in the "Dimension Processing Destination",there is the "incremental&qu ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005/CE6.0 SDK roller hangs?

  Hello, I've created an OS image that targets 2 BSPs: A hardware platform and the ARM Device Emulator. When I attempt to add an SDK configuration to my project, VS2005 almost always hangs. Here are the steps that I'm following: 1) Open my project and complete a successful build/Sysgen selecting the hardware platform BSP configuration. At this point, flatreleasedir is populated. 2) I then add an SDK and enter the project name, company name, and website. 3) In the Emulation pane, I add the ARM Device Emulator configuration. When I hit 'OK', VS hangs. My configuration: WinXPSP2 VS2005 PB 6.0 Anyone else seen this Thanks, Matt I would recommend you to post this question on microsoft.public.windowsce.platbui ...Show All
