• Visual C# Talk to SQL database from C#

  Hi everyone, I have a database file that I want to access from C#. I want to be able to read from it, write to it and generally do SQLy things with it. I have used SQL before, so I am not to worried about the actual language bit. What I can't get to work is the interface between C# and my file. My code so far is: using System.Data.SqlClient; private void Connect_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { string connect = "connection timeout=45" + ";" + "Data Source=|DataDirectory|\\CsTestDataBase.mdb" ; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection (connect); myConnection.Open(); SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand ( "INSERT INTO Info (MyDate, FileNa ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Express New Login

  Hello all Im new to SQL 2005 express so please bare with me, I have set up wireless peer to peer network and I am trying to access an express database from one machine to another. I can transfer files no problem. When I try to create a new login, I am forced to only select logins local to the machine with the database. When I try and create a new login by typing <machinename><windows account > of the second PC, SQL can not see it. I have tried both Windows authentication and mixed mode... no success. Any ideas Thanks That is standard Windows behaviour: either use accounts or groups from the local machine or make the machine member of a domain to allow domain users to get ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to avoid Busy Waiting?

  Hey everyone :) I wish to know how can I translate a "busy waiting loop" approach into an event driven approach Lets say I have a queue of tasks, whenever there are elements in the queue, a process has to treat these elements Now I do it like this: while(1){ if(MyQ.Size()>0){ My.Q.RemoveHead .... } } This approach causes the cpu to work on full load, even if there are no elements in the queue. Is there a way to avoid this loop and somehow to create an event driven approach. Something like OnQueueHasElements... Thanks in advance :) As I understand it you don't want your infinitive loop to hug all the cpu time. You said this approach "causes the cpu to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Client and service see different SessionId for a duplex contract?

  Hi, I have a simple WCF app using the NetTcp binding and a duplex contract.  I'm using InstanceContextMode.PerSession and the sessioning works fine.  What I don't understand is why I get different values for "SessionId" on the client and service side when using a duplex contract.  For a non-duplex contract the client and service are seeing identical "SessionId", which is what I would expect.  So why not also for a duplex contract   Thanks, Alan Client code:     String strSessionId =         CMyService_ClientSideProxy.InnerChannel.SessionId;     These return identical strings to strSessionId above:     CMyService_ClientSidePr ...Show All

• .NET Development Making a delegate for serialport

  Hi, I got a device attached to my serial port which takes a few commands like "get version". But some commands return big strings which the serial port is not passing all through at once. So i want to make a delegate with an event handler which listens if anything has arrived yet and append it to a rich text box. I've tried a few things, but i keep getting all kinds of errors in runtime. So i undo those changes. This is my code: FIELDS: public SerialPort serialPort; public delegate void GetData(string getDataFromBuffer); public event ReadDataInBuffer dataRead; private string buffer. private void SerialPort_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e) { this.buffer += this.serialPort.ReadExisting(); } S ...Show All

• SQL Server Using global variables in T-SQL, SQL Server 2000

  Hi,   Is there any way to create and use global variables(session variables) using T-SQL(SQL Server2000) In Oracle PL/SQL the package level variables act as global variables. I'm looking for something similar to this. As there is no concept of packages in T-SQL, is this possible or is there any other way to do this Cheers,   You can use SET CONTEXT_INFO from SQL Server 2000 onwards to store 128 bytes of information per session. Who can see the rows from other sessions depends on the permissions of the login. See BOL for more details. Alternatively, you can create a temporary table and store the value there. If you create the temporary table at connection level th ...Show All

• SQL Server round function in sql statement not executing

• Windows Forms TableAdapter Query not populating DGV.

  I have a project with two forms. Each form uses a table adapter to fill a dgv. On the first form the query populates the dgv just fine. On the second form, an identical ( I think) query runs without error messages but no data goes into the dgv. First form, frmFindAccountNumber, executes the query and populates the dgv residing on first form. Since both dgv are bound to this table adapter, shouldn't they both be populated when this query runs Currently, only the dgv on the first form that runs the query is updated. MsgBox( "FillbyAccount" ) Try Me .MemberFileTableAdapter.FillByAccount( Me .TrialBalanceOneDataSet.MemberFile, New System.Nullable( Of Integer )( CType (txtSelectedAccount.Text, Integer ))) C ...Show All
