• Visual Basic Culture date format and system dat format conflicting

  my VB.net 2005 Application is My .Application.ChangeCulture( "en-GB" ) the problem is, my OS dateformat may be will not be matching my application culture. e.g. 7 april 2007 at my application = 2 July at my OS my prblem is: when I send 07-02-2007 to my database it will save depends on my OS format then when I retrieve the value it will be 02-07-2007, it changed from april to july I'm really not sure what the problem is: a date is a date regardless of the culture. I don't use Access, but it should be irellevant. Simply inserting/modifying date/times as universal format inserts the data correctly. It doesn't matter what the application culture is, the OS culture or the Database culture. Insert the date as a ...Show All

• Visual C# InterProcess Communication, .Net to C++

  AOA, I seek suggestions and possibly solutions to the problem stated below: I have an application written purely in .NET ( Windows Form Application) and another application that is supposed to be written in MFC(Visual C++) or Win32 GUI Application. The problem is to communicate data between the two applications. for example, If i click a button in .NET GUI application, the data(some text) shuld be sent to the VC++ GUI application. Both the .NET and VC++ application will run on the same PC. One option that seems applicable is to use sockets for data communication between the two applications. But since both application will run on the same PC, I thought if there were some other faster options available. Like inter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Find a arrayList value in a string without looping trough it?

  Assume i have my code like this... ArrayList test = new ArrayList (); test.Add( "Test1" ); test.Add( "Test2" ); test.Add( "Test3" ); string s = "Kevin tells you, 'Test2'" ; for ( int i = 0; i < test.Count; i++) { if (s.Contains(test .ToString()) == true ) { MessageBox .Show( "Found string in Key " + i + "!" ); } } Is it possible to do the same without having to loop (for function) the arrayList Cuz the array in my program can be huge and looping will delay to much. Also need to have the key returned where the match is been found in the ArrayList. Regards Kevin;   Still confused, Look at the following code... Dictionary < stri ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge: Records associated by a JOIN Filter not being sent to a subscriber

  Hi, I have a merge (SQL 2005 Standard -> Express) topolgoy which is having problems  The main problem is that the join filters don't seem to work for one area and I am hoping someone can help me with some troubleshooting advice There are 140+ tables in the topology but the ones causing  particular  pain are a parent child relationship where the child is actually a bridge/linking table to another table. Therefore although it is a parent child in the replication filters it is the reverse. i.e. the child has the paramterised filter on it and the parent is one level down joined by it's id.  There are other tables joined to this parent table but it stays at three levels deep.  The @join_unique_k ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sites or Portals

  I am currently investigating the rollout of Sharepoint 2007 to teaching staff and students but are currently unsure at this stage what's the best and most effective way to deploy this. Each of the teaching areas is split into directorate and then into departments, like so; Institute of Tourism and Sport (Institute) Tourism (Dept) Hospitality (Dept) Sports Studies (Dept) Would it be better to structure the deployment so that each Institute is a portal and the departments is a site, or create a single portal, create the Institute as category groups and create the departments as sites What are the pro's/con's of each take a look at the Plan sites and features section the Planning a ...Show All
