• SQL Server What is INSERT BULK?

  Morning, I've just been running a Profiler trace on an ETL operation that I was doing and the SQL statement issued was: "INSERT BULK table <column-list> " That was it. Profiler didn't record what values are actually getting inserted. I looked in BOL but there's no mention of this syntax in either BULK INSERT ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188365.aspx ) or INSERT syntax ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174335.aspx ) I'm assuming its just a different syntax for BULK INSERT, although it doesn't specify a source file which is strange. Also, like I said the profiler trace only contained a column list, it didn't contain the VALUES part of an INSERT statem ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PerCall storage

  Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is someway of creating a per call storage area. What i have is and object that is passed using a message header on the operation call. On the service side the object decodes the message header to rehydrate it's and then become available for service code. What i want is for service code to be able to call MyClass.Current, what i had at first was upon access of the static property it checks to see if a static variable is null, if it is it then decodes from the message header and stores the decoded object in the static variable. The problem with this is that the static variable is shared across all services & operations. So if another client changes a property of the object that is passed across the m ...Show All

• Windows Forms NumericUpDown Size

  Hi All, I have a numericUpDown control on a windows form. The user would like the arrows to be larger. I cannot seem to get that to happen. Does anyone know how to increase the size of the up/down arrows Thanks Jeff I don't know -and i don't think there is- a way to increase arrow size. One plain solution is to increase font size which will let you have bigger arrow size but also larger font size. Other way is to use a text box and two buttons and set properties as followed .

• .NET Development web service not compiling... i think

  I created a web service locally while my host change to network solutions was propagating. The web service worked fine. It compiled fine and displayed the page that allows you to work with the methods via POST (the documentation ). When I uploaded the file to Network Solutions, the webs service stopped compiling. When I access it all it shows is the C# source code. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how the fix my problem Has any had any experience with Network Solutions Windows Platform. Thanks in advanced for any help anyone has to offer.

• .NET Development .NET 2.0 Xml Deserialization problem

  Good morning, I have been having some difficulties when deserializing a class containing a List(Of ...) member. I have created some minimal code to reproduce the issue below. The example class contains three members: a String, a List(Of String), and a String() array. The class is instantiated with all three members set to Nothing/null. When serialized the first time the resultant xml correctly omits the elements for all members. When deserialized the String and String() arrays are still nothing but for some reason the List(Of String) now contains an instantiated empty List. As a result a second serialization contains an element corresponding to the List which, in my actual project, means the xml is not valid against the 3rd party schema I' ...Show All

• SQL Server Restoring sql server 7.0 database into sql server 2005 express - problem!

• Visual C# Passing a class object or reference to a function

  Hello, I would like to pass a class-object or a class-reference to a function. I seem to do not really understand object/reference handling in C#.

• Visual Basic Progress Bar/Loading Bar To Perform gif Update

  Hi all, I am just a new member here. Hope that my English will not give you an uncomfortable feeling ^^|| Actually, a month before, I was trying to implement a progress bar( some may call it loading bar) form so that when the Main Form/Main Thread is doing a Time-consuming tasks or thread-blocking tasks, it can display to the user and asking them to wait for a while. The problem was that I put a gif file into the picture box and the gif was an animation, the gif was not "animated" until the Main Form/Main Thread finished the tasks. Here is just a little code: Private Sub StartTasks() ' Create And Show Loading Bar Dim frmLoading as new LoadingBar frmLoading.Show() ' Start To Do Time Consuming Tasks ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ActiveX OCX / Registry call fails

  I have an ActiveX OCX that runs in a web page. It works fine except when run under Vista. The call that fails is RegConnectRegistryW. The return error is 1346. Meaning "Either a required impersonation level was not provided or the provided impersonation level was not valid". This call fails when attempting to return any hive handle --even a local hive handle. Obtaining hive handles via another fashion isn't possible as the OCX needs to be able to remotely connect to other system's registries --whether they be Vista or less. I'm pretty sure the cause for the error is due to insufficient rights and that the process which calls this API needs elevated privileges. How can I accomplish elevating this process Can I use a manifest file ...Show All

• Architecture Creating DataBase

  I am re-writing a single-user, local application that supports MS-Access to a multiple concurrent user application that will support MS-Access, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, and XML. In the current application, a Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb) file (with structure but no data) is distributed with the application. When the user wants a new database, the distributed file is copied. With a move to SQL Server, etc. most users will likely not have the ability to create databases on the fly (I assume most companies keep that in the hands of IT). What is the best or at least accepted method of distributing the database structure with an application Let me get this straight. You're going to build an application that will support multi-us ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Keyboard scan code in emulator skin

  I've been remapping an adding some buttons in the smartphone skin to emulate the form factor of my final device but I can't figure out what the scan code values are. I've looked at the output from my keyboard device driver and they don't match the values in the skin. e.g. volume up 0x40 = device scan code 0x47. Some values simply don't even reach the device driver e.g. 0x59. What is going on here Petchey, The emulator emulates the Samsung SMDK2410 board, which has a fixed set of scan codes. Therefore some of the possible 255 scan codes are invalid. Please tell me if the unchanged buttons on the skin generate the correct codes. Thanks, Vijay ...Show All
