• SQL Server Standard Edition 20 x slower than Developer edition?

  Have created a database on 2 separate machines, the developer edition server performs a test insert of 100000 records in 33 seconds, the standard edition server performs the same operation in 10 minutes 50 seconds. Have checked the properties of both sql server registration and database and the only significant differences are in the SS2005 developer edition and SS2005 standard editions. The databases the tests were performed on were direct restores of the same database. The slower server has 4 processors, 2 on developer. As a control, I have performed the same test on another server with Developer edition and this took 50 secs. I am being told that the difference in the test figures are down to the developer edition being fundamenta ...Show All

• SQL Server Set c# parameter properties

  Hi all, Is it possible when creating a stored procedure through visual studio using a sql server 2005 project, to set the sizes of the parameters that are specified. For example: public partial class test { [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server .SqlProcedure ] public static void addRecord( string name, string details) { ................. some code ................. } } Would it be possible to set the size of the parameter 'details' to nvarchar(max) and 'name' to nvarchar(50) or something along those lines. The problem at the moment is that when this project is deployed both of the parameters are set to 4000 characters and sometimes the details parameter are greater than 4000 characters and it is being trun ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can we add advance search/filter capabilities to a DataGridView???

  Hi! I would like to use an Advanced search dialog in order to provide the final user with advance searching capabilities in my DataGridView...For example to select only those customers names (from the Customer column) that live in a certain city (from the city column)... The BindingSource.Filter method doesn't support this capability...Any help Thanks in advance... Hi: I'm trying to implement this approach and it's almost working.

• Windows Forms Directory chooser

  I've a new question today, which should be quite simple for people who know how. How do i get a folder version of the openfiledialog that is so useful i want to select a folder to be set as default in one of my small programs, but all i can do atm is use openfiledialog to save a file, get the address, then delete the file, which is very long winded, and doesn't look good for the user. how can i get a directory viewer that lets the user just select a directory Thanks for your help. It'd be useful if there was a site that actually showed all of the really useful bits of code that i'm likely to need, because I'm asking on here a lot, and don't want to be a burden.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Playing (avi) video's in XNA?

  I would like to play a little into-video before my game starts, its simple and small and it's an avi (though I could easily change its format), how do I play it with XNA MDX used to have AudioVideo playback, but I can't find that in XNA. my thought would be, if you want it to work on xbox, you're going to have to write your own content importer for the avi file itself. then manually extract each frame of the avi and sync up your framerate to match the framerate of the avi, playing one frame of avi per game frame. that's the abstract thought i have about it... though in practice, i haven't the foggiest! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is the status of MC++ in Orcas?

  With the delay of mixed types and/or support of native PODs in managed classes under C++/CLI moved to the future, how long is MC++ going to hang around I heard rumors that it will be deprecated in Orcas, which would be fine as long as this means it is not being removed. What is the official stance on this …for Orcas and beyond Thanks much, James. If Visual Studio dropped support for C++, they would lose over 50% of their developers. It isn't going to happen. Although, Microsoft has tried to force dumber things..... ...Show All
