• .NET Development how to detect form feed, line feed.....

  hi expert, Is there any way that i can detect form feed , line feed and carriage return in and input string Thanks in advance. As Micheal has suggested.... Suppose you have a string: char carriageReturn = '\r'; char lineFeed = '\f'; char newLine = 'n'; string stringToCheck = "some text\nsss\f"; int indexOfnewLine = stringToCheck .IndexOf(newLine ); // will return the index of new line characeter if found else it'll return -1 as index (Means it doesnot exist in the string. Same for others... You can also use IndexOfAny(char[]) to see if anyone exists in the string..... and What's its index... Best Regards, Rizwan ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0 Upgrade Logical issue

  Guys, I am new to .NET Framework and .NET development, my Boss asked me to findout that either we can Develop and run our .NET 1.1 application under .NET 2.0 I think that for building and running VB.NET applications under .NET 2.0 we need to have VS 2005 and is it possible that I can built applications in VS 2003 and run it under .NET 2.0 Just need to clerify from you guys first Thanks in advance .NET Framework installs side by side, one does not conflict the other. You can run .NET 1.1 apps in .NET 2.0 I believe, I've tried it, but you cannot run .NET 2.0 apps in .NET 1.1/1.0. It's not backwards compatible in order to develop .NET 2.0 apps, you need VS2005. VS2003 and earlier do not run under/compile wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Call to Static class from Set of originating Methods

  Hi, I'm new to FxCop and am not sure what I want to achieve is possible so was hoping that someone could confirm this. I need to determine whether any calls to a specific static class are being made from a fixed set of methods. The methods are defined in a base class but overridden by descendants. However, what complicates this further is that these methods may be several calls deep within the call stack, as they call other methods which in turn could call others. The methods called by the ORIGINAL set of methods are unknown. For example: Originating Method 1 -> Sub Method 1 -> Sub Method 2 -> <CALL TO STATIC CLASS> I would want this to be flagged as a broken rule. So I have two problems I'm not sure FxC ...Show All

• Visual C# problem resizing images

  I found some code on the internet to resize an image, but when i want to resize an image to lets say 300*200 i get an image that is 266*200. I even tried 350*200 but still 266*200!

• .NET Development Delayed Datareader column error

  In a live application which i created, i noticed that after a day or two, i get a datareader error, specifically the error which returns a column name as it's message. i.e if i had written reader["col_name"] i get col_name as the error message. The problem is that i read 5 column names in a single read, and the messages vary, it not always the same column name. However, whenever i restart the server, the problem goes away for another day or two. Recently i increased my max pool size because i was having pooling issues, this had an effect on the datareader error in that it now occurs every 2-3 hours instead of the 1-2 days. pls i need help on this one Thanks The error is saying that the ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Install SP1

  Microsoft Update tells me it is unable to install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (several times). When I check the Update History, I see that Error Code: 0x2B18 is returned.

• SQL Server Encryption and bulk insert

  Hello, I need to build a table with encrypted data with the source data coming from a .csv. The account number from the .csv will need to be encrypted in the final table and I will also need to have a hashed or MAC index on the account number. I'm guessing that I can do this with a stored procedure using a temp table to load the unedited data and then load the actual table from there. The table will be built from a download every evening. The key and certificate for the encryption are already set. I have been able to load data directly to the table providing values. But, I have been struggling getting a bulk insert to work. I'd appreciate any ideas or examples. Thanks! Thanks for your quick ...Show All
