• .NET Development Stripping diacriticals from string?

  Is there a .Net string method that will strip diacriticals from strings That is, what can I replace ToNoDiacriticals with to get the following to work: string foreign = "Bia owie a"; if (foreign.ToNoDiacriticals().Equals("Bialowieza"))     System.Console.Writeln("Works!"); Actually, String.Normalize is the recommended equivalent of FoldString in .NET 2.0. As long as you agree with what it considers diacriticals it will do what you want. The results of FoldString depend on what NLS table is currently loaded--which means it will result in different conversions depending on the computer that runs it. A bit more research yielded: static string RemoveDiacritics(string stIn) { string s ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error when trying to run the debugger

  Hi there, I've just started to write my first VB application. I have designed the UI but not done any coding. When I have pressed 'start' on the debug toolbar to view my new UI I get the following error message: ' Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly ‘”Oli’s RSS Reader”’ or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)' I can't think why this is and i'm completely stuck as if I can't debug then I can't build! Any help is appreciated. Thanks Oli Hi DMan1, No 3rd party controls, no references apart from default. I thought it might be some kind of naming rule i've broken Still stuck i'm afraid.

• SQL Server Need help with Insert or Update from Excel

  Hello - I have an Excel data source from a customer. The data source is a daily dump from the customer's HR system - bascially data about people. Some of these are new (to the data source) and some already exist in my database (from a previous import). What I am trying to do is: If the row in Excel is new, then INSERT the data into my table. If the row in Excel already exists in my database, then I just want to UPDATE the data in my table. The Excel data contains an ID field from the HR system that I store in my table for lookups. However, I also generate an ID from my table, when the data is inserted. I have a Lookup task that uses the HR system ID from the Excel file and this will return the rows that already exist. These are ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Sheets?

  How can i use a sprite sheet instead of using single sprite files Thanks in advance. When I've done this, I tend to use a BMP or equivalent, with each of my sprites on it. I load it into a single Texture2D as usual. However, when it comes to drawing them, you use the overloaded version of the Draw method, which takes both the screen location rectangle and a source rectange (along with colour and the usual others). This second parameter is the location within the single sheet of the individual sprite I want to display. I'm playing with a Pacman graphic at the moment, so I have a bitmap which is 256 x 128 pixels. Each pacman is 32x32, and I've got 4 rows (representing the 4 possible directions) plus 8 ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing Cubes via a SQL Server 2000 DTS

  Hi, I have a DTS which processes a set of AS 2000 cubes via a set of AS Processing Tasks. I want to know how I can accurately trap and report errors once a cube fails to process Thanks in advance Jon Derbyshire The logging of processing errors in DTS ( SQL Server 2000 ) is bit limited. You should try and look at migrating your application to SQL Server 2005 instead. I know it is bit a far fetched suggestion to migrate your whole solution to SQL Server 2005 just because of a single problem with accurately tracking processing errors. But the problem is: your will find increasingly harder to implement any new functionality with old version of the product. You will find it harder to find answers to your qu ...Show All

• Visual C++ MultiByteToWideChar of VC8 went wrong, but VC7 worked.

  Dear all, For example: MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, str, (int)strlen(str)+1, wstr, 1024); Assume "str" is a "bo-po-mo-fo" Chinese phonetic alphabet such as "ㄉ", in VC8, this function always failed; however, it worked fine in VC7. Does any one know how to fix it Thank you very much! Sincerely, Mike Hi b6s, how does the function fail - what is the return value If your input is chinese you should provide the correct code page as first parameter. Something like 50936 for Simplified Chinese. Have a look at Code Page Identifiers in MSDN. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual C# C# code to access a shared folder?

  Someone opens a shared folder for me on a remote computer with a user name and a password. I can certainly map a local drive to that remote folder, but I wonder if I can write a C# program to access the folder without having to map. I've tried two APIs: The first is "LogonUser" which can not connect to the remote machine (the error code says " unknown user name or bad password "). The second is WNetAddConnection2 which connects but maps a local drive to it. These two APIs are not really C# APIs. They are Win32 stuff and called through PInvoke. I wonder if there's an elegant way to code it in C#. There has to be one given the large class library we have, right Got it. It can be done by ...Show All
