• .NET Development arrays to sql server table

  Using vb8, I would like to be able to programmatically save data in arrays to an existing sql server 2005 table. I've found tons of info on how to load db data into arrays but not the reverse. Can anybody offer some clues Saw your nevermind. Just for the record: I agree, SQL statements are the way to go. I'm sure the development team has their reasons; but, I would have preferred a simpler way to handle simple data access activities. Perhaps, they will correct this in VB9. ...Show All

• SQL Server Updating records ina table

  Hi there!! I have a table say Emp with index as (Empid) which is a autoincreament field. How do I update names of already existing rows having identified Empid. Complexity lies with the fact that I cannot use Emp table as Destination table because if i do so then it will insert new rows and empid will change. Thanks and Regards Rahul Kumar, Software Engineer use an OLEDB command transform from within a dataflow (assuming that is where you have identified the employee to be updated). the Command transform will execute a parameterized sql command for each input row. do and UPDATE where empid = and bind your employee id to the parameter. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Appaling GUI performance on Vista RC2

  Hey guys, I don't know if this already been reported, but I've discovered that the GUI performance drops drastically on Vista RC2 when setting the AllowsTransparency="true" on a Window. On Win XP with September CTP bits it runs fine. It is a pretty clean test from a hardware point of view since I have a dual boot laptop. Here's my system info: OS Name MicrosoftR Windows Vista Ultimate Version 6.0.5744 Build 5744 Processor Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz, 2000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s) Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.5744.16384" Total Physical Memory 2,045.88 MB Available Physical Memory 883.25 MB Total Virtual Memory 4.22 GB Available Virtual Memory 2.64 GB ...Show All

• Visual Studio IF THEN ELSE

  Hi, I thought I would do a simple msbuild script to do what I thought would be a simple thing to do:  ReadTheRegistryTask() if (key == 'aaa') then run task A else run task B How do you do that in msbuild the Choose-When contstruct is just what I need but it can only be a child of a project. I have a Task to read the registry but it doesn't like a Task just under a Project and act as the input. I can do all I need to do in isolated pieces but it doesn't seem to go together :-(   The only solution i could come up with is to make your own custom task. Then that task will ouput the name of the target you want to call and all you'll have to do is call the CallTarget task. Here's ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Picturebox resize scrollbars

  Hi. if I have an image showing in a picturebox, of course depending on the image size itself, if the image is larger than the screen, I have told it to resize the picturebox to the size of the image. This is all cool, and shows me the vertical and horizontal scroll bars. problem is, I am unable to scroll through the picturebox. How can I scroll through the picture box so I can view the image When in doubt, never fear, Anthony Wong is here!

• Visual Studio No web templates available

  For some reason I'm no longer able to create any new web sites in VS 2005. When I click on "Create New... Web Site" the Template box appears but it remains blank. This was working fine up until a couple of days ago. I've tried reinstalling (using the Repair/Reinstall option in the setup app) but without any difference. Any ideas how I can bring up all the templates once more I ended up biting the bullet and re-staging my entire system (other things were running far slower than they should have been anyway). In other words, for anyone else who comes across this post, having had an exhaustive look around the web I could find no suggestions. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Append to XML file

  I'm trying to make an application to keep track of recipes, but I can't figure out how to append to an XML file.  I've searched online, but I'm not coming up with the answer.  Someone suggested a dataset, but I can't figure out how to use that to append to an XML file.  I'll show an example of the code and what the XML file currently looks like.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sizing items in a web browser box

  My question, I have a web browser box accepting a RSS feed or any web information for that matter, is there anyway to size the incoming feed to fit in the size web browser box I place on a form. Thanks IrishWolf, Do you mean that you want to save the feedback from you websites Database is the best choice like SQL Server or some other DBMS.

• SQL Server Problem with nested install of SQL 2005 Express...

  I create Installer for my company, with using SQL 2005 Express and its files database. I used MS Build bootstrapper before to install MS SQL 2005 Express in my installer and it was installed before my product installed, and there is no problems... But now I need to install Express during setup, because it must be installed NOT everytime (if user choose, in bootstrapper it is impossible).

• SQL Server Is WITH / Common Table Expression a syntactic sugar?

  I tried to use WITH to factor out the shared star join portion from a sql statement as it's usually the most expensive part. However, examing the execution plan shows that the WITH clause is merely a syntactic suger that will internally be plugged back as derived tables where the same star join is executed repeatedly. Is the intermediate rowset produced by a WITH caluse ever shared during the query execution There is a suggestion on the connect site that Adam Machanic made to have this sort of functionality.
