• SQL Server Problems splitting name field

  I am reading in data from a legacy system where name data is in one field. The single field includes last name, first name, middle initial(sometimes), and suffix(sometimes). Due to the optional components it is a bear. I am using a fuzzy lookup on the suffix and derived columns for the first, last, and middle initial. The first name and suffix work, but I'm having trouble with the last and middle initial. The following is the formula I'm using for both. The first name formula is causing an error, and the middle initial is only populating if the suffix exists. If anyone has insight, it is appreciated. FirstName: TRIM(SUBSTRING([ARPNAME-T],FINDSTRING([ARPNAME-T]," ",1) + 1,FINDSTRING([ARPNAME-T]," ",2) - FINDSTRING( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy Protection/Demo Disk

  Good Day, as a beginner I learned from a lot of you in this forum and wish to thank all of you who have help. Because of your help I have completed by first program and learn how to deploy onto a CD using ClickOnce. Where I need help understanding next is how do I build a demo disk the will either limit the number of entries or a time expire method so that the client will need to purchase a upgrade and how do I copy protect the software so that it can’t be copied to other machine. I have read a lot of the forums commits but most of them seem to suggest using third party software. I would like to learn how to do write code for these things for myself. Any suggestion on which way or what reading material can lead me in the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting size of Picture in PictureBox

  I have created a form which has a picturebox on it. I also have it so that the user can choose a gif or jpg to put into the picture box from their computer. But while running this code i noticed that the picturebox shows the picture in its original size and therefore you only get to see the top left hand corner of the picture. I was wondering whether anyone knows anyway in which i would be able to get the picture to be shown smaller than the original size Thanks alot in advance Satal yes there is. If you wish to resize the image to the same size as the picturebox, try this: Bitmap theBitmapImage = new Bitmap("FileName.jpg", this.thePicturebox.Width, this.thePictureBox.Height); this ...Show All

• SQL Server dynamic Instead of update trigger problem

  Hello, I am trying to use an instead of update trigger to alter a lastupdated field in the table when any of the other fields are modified by an update.

• .NET Development Out of memory exception (c#, .net 2003, large images)

  Hi, I am developing an application (c#, .Net 2003, Framework 1.1) that deals with large images. The application captures multiple image frames and stitch them up into a large hige-res image. We are looking at 50+ frames and sometimes more than 100 frames of 1024x768 color images. I am also using double buffers for edit purposes. To get an idea of what this application does: beyond the image acquisition and stitching, it is very similar to Paint.Net ( http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html ) in providing tools to draw on top of the image. The program is hitting out of memory exceptions -- sometimes even with smaller images. Documentation on LOH seems to explain this observation well, especially with memory fragmentation a likely cause of ...Show All

• Visual C++ Identifying A Font In Use.

  I would like to identify the font used in an arbitrary existing window. It appears to be not possible. WM_GETFONT will retrieve the currently used font's handle... but converting an HFONT into useful information about the font appears unsupported. GetTextFace requires an HDC and fetching an HDC from an HWND resets settings to defaults. GetTextMetrics and GetFontData suffer the same constraints. What am I overlooking This forum is for using VC++ as a tool, not for specific Win32 programming questions. I would ask this question in the MSDN discussion groups.
