• SQL Server Clearing Single User Mode/lock

  What is the best way to clear Single User mode from SQL Server 2000 I have tried going to all tasks and selecting detach and clear Connections using this database. I then click cancel and go into the properties and options and clear the Restrict access check box. This seems to work some times but not all the times. I think it is because something else connects to it to it while I am going through the above steps. As a last resort I have detached the database and re-attach it. What is causing the single user mode to happen in the first place I am a little confused, the system is going into single user mode of its own accord and you want to get it back out again Have you looked at the error log to f ...Show All

• SQL Server Report printing one record per page - SQL 2000 RS

  Hi all, relative reporting services nooby here. Although when my reports display through the report viewer, they contain multiple records per page, when I print preview or print, they only print one record per page, which is a pain for my users. I've checked the reports properties, made sure that any Lists do not have the 'fit on one page' box checked and such to no avail. I notice that if I export the report to say Excel or .pdf, I can print with multiple records on a page but this is deemed unacceptable by my users. Thanks in advance for any nice suggestions. People can only speak from experience, so if no one has come across this before then you can't expect an immediate response. You seem t ...Show All

• Visual C# Trouble with external DLL return value using a structure

  I'm rather new to C#. I've been working on a general context menu DLL process. I've got it ti compile and can call it but as soon as the application tries to instanciate the external (CntxtMenu.method_Process) it says "can not marshal return value". I've spent time on this since it became interesting to try to pass a structure and use external dll'S. I can't seem to find very much information about this particular error. Any help would be appreciated. methodName structure seems to be where I have a problem. It's an array of eventhandler info I'm trying to pass.

• Visual Basic How to overcome the Like Operator length limitation in VB 2003??

  I have two strings: stringa = various characters to 359 characters in length stringb = a string-pattern to match that of stringa The LIKE operator works .. However, when another single character/or more are added to stringa, the like operator fails, returning false, despite the string-pattern matching Is there a workaround for this Please Help. You should probably look into regular expressions (found in the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace). The syntax is different and may take some getting used to, but regular expressions will prove to be more powerful and do not have any limits on length. ...Show All

• Visual C++ decimal to ascii for mathematical purposes

  Hi, I have a small problem where I am required to add the ascii values of characters but display the result as hex. I am transmitting data via RS232, the data packet consists of 12 characters including line feed, carriage return. Before transmitting the carriage return, I am required to include a checksum which is to be the sum of the ascii values of dataCharacter2 through to dataCharacter8. E.G. if the packet was <LF> 1 1 1 1 0 4 5 1 1 0 <CR>, then the sum would be 15 The individual data is derived from separate functions and passed to a dataSend function. The code in the dataSend function is: int checkSum = word2 + word3 + word4 + word5 + word6 + word7 + word8; serialPort1->Write( checkSum ); I am s ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Very strange Pipe Thread problem

  I'm developing a client-server application using Named Pipes on WinXP, VS 2005, C++ NATIVE (NOT .net) compiler and starting with the sample code in the documentation. The sample code I started with was "Named Pipe Server Using Overlapped I/O" and the question is about the server side code. As part of the development, I put the code into a class and put the PIPEINST array into the class. The client can open the pipe, but not write to it or get the named pipe info. If I move the PIPEINST back out to global, as in the sample code, everything works properly! Put those variables back into the class, and it fails again. Why is there a problem here Thanks in advance for any understanding you might be able to provide. John ...Show All
