• .NET Development double and parse - difference

  Can anyone explain the difference between these: double .Parse (invrow[4].ToString()); convert.Todouble(invrow[4].ToString()); and which one is the best to use. Thanks best would be to use TryParse to try to parse a given string input and if it succeeds, the result will be stored in the ref variable you give it. the Convert, just converts one type to another. the Parse parse's exactly the variable as is.   Parse: "Converts the string representation of a number to its double-precision floating point number equivalent.

• Visual C++ Reference to DLL behaves differently than Reference to Project

  Ok, this IMO defies all logic and reasoning. I have the same identical C++ Project in two solutions. I know these are identical because I copied the entire project from one solution and pasted in another and that added that pasted project to the solution. In one solution, the C++ Project references a C# Project. In the other solution, the C++ Project references the compiled DLL of the same C# Project. These are the steps that I performed to ensure that I am working with correct DLL. First, I cleaned both solutions so that no DLL's are available. Second, in the C++ Project that was referencing the DLL, I removed the reference to ensure I am referencing the new DLL. Third, I compiled the C# Project. Then, I took the freshly compiled DLL f ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Designer Backup/Restore problem

  I am trying to use Sharepoint Designer's backup and restore functionality to move a site from one server to another. The backup seems to complete successfully, but when I go to restore the site I get an error that looks like this: Cannot find C:\Windows\Temp\.......\exportsettings.xml. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem Hi: Has anyone found a solution for this I can't use the command line tools because the source site (i.e.: the site that was backed up) is hosted by a hosting company.

• SQL Server composite primary keys versus composite unique indexes

  Hello, I have a table which has a composite primary key consisting of four columns, one of them being a datetime called Day. The nice thing afaik with this composite key is that it prevents duplicate entries in the table for any given day. But the problem is probably two-fold 1. multiple columns need to be used for joins and I think this might degrade performance 2. in client applications such as asp.net these primary keys must be sent in the query string and the query string becomes long and a little bit unmanagable. A possible solutions I'm thinking of is dropping the existing primary key and creating a new identity column and a composite unique index on the columns from the existing composite key. I would like to have some tips, recom ...Show All

• Visual C++ Focus in Multiple Dialog application
