Is there any way , by which I can make use of the SDK to fetch latitude and longitude information, which I can pass to the VELatLong() method.

• SQL Server SYSAdmin users do not have permission to see records in a view?

  We have a third party application and wish to create a report based upon a view. The strange thing is logged in to the server as a SQL SYSAdmin account, we cannot view the data via the view. SQL Admin accounts are setup correctly and there is nothing different on this particular server. No errors are returned just a blank view with no records. Could this be a permissions problem or orphaned schemas in that particular database I thought SYSAdmin could view and do just about anything and the people who use this particular database would not have the know how on denying permission to the SYSAdmin role. Thanks N There are 2 tables in this view. One of which is a 'Secure Employee' table which has a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions So What Exactly is an Assembly?

  When ever I save a project , I get a whole lot of files generated Out of those files which files are considered as Assemblies I tried Versoning by creating 2 dll files with different assembly versions and still could not import to my project ,it gave me an error saying "Already Imported" Note One assembly was very 1.0.0.0 ans the other one was 1.1.1.1 How can we say that Dot Net supports versoning Yes indeed. The .NET Framework (or visual studios not sure) ships with the tool called ildasm.exe (Intermediate Language Disassembler), which can be used to view or output the CIL code to text file, and can be typically found from path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ildasm.exe.

• .NET Development Using .config file

  Hi there, I have a standard c# class project (ie it's not a win forms project) which includes an application.config file. I have code which seeks to read some configurations from the file using the standard code - ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["KEY_NAME"]. However, the code doesn't return a value. But the same code seems to work when I'm using it within a winforms project. Surely I'm missing something simple here PS My code is using the System.Configuration namespace - using System.Configuration; Cheers. :) I just wanted to say that different classes should use different keys. For example by including the class name in the key. Class A would have A_setting and class B ...Show All

• .NET Development How do you run javascript and vbscript on the same asp.net page

  When I try I get Cannot use 'javascript' because another language has been specified earlier in this page (or was implied from a CodeFile attribute). As soon as i declare a new javascript block <script LANGUAGE="javascript" RUNAT="Server"> This implies that there is already a script file specified above. If the line you declared looks like the following, make sure that there is a </script> tag associated with the line.

• Visual Studio Express Editions disabling .net features

  Hi, I have VC++ 2005 Express Edition installed on my computer. The problem is that I need to program without using the .net framework. As I understand this is possible by choosing "WIN32 Console Application" type of project. However it is important for my needs that the program I would write in VC++ 2005, could be later compiled also on the older version 6.0 of VC++. Is there any way I can assure that, while using VC++ 2005 Thanks. If you choose a Win32 Console Application then you won't, by default, be using any .NET features. But there is no way you can guarantee that your code will be compilable with the Visual C++ 6.0 compiler. There is a vast difference between the Visual C++ 6.0 comp ...Show All

• SQL Server Nulls in SQL 2005

  Hello, I have a varchar(20) field which stores a value or empty string. I have noticed that if the value is NULL and I use is null in my query, the query runs very fast. However If I also include in my query a check for an empty string (len(rtrim(field)) = 0) the query is much slower. Is it a good idea to force the empty strings to null and if Yes is there an automatic way in sql 2005 (maybe a trigger) to update all empty strings to null. Thanks, I just need some advice. Michael One more option is to create computed column and index over it, but there are some requirements for that (refer for details: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189292.aspx ) ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ won't run from source control: "The system cannot execute the specified program"
