• Windows Forms cause a property to display "builder" button to browse for folder ?

  I'm writing a custom control. One of its properties is a directory name. I'd like the property sheet to display a "build" button that--when clicked, displays the standard Browse for Folder dialog. I have no idea how to do this. Any help getting started is appreciated. The Editor attribute takes 2 arguments, not 1 as in your example. I dug around to find an example, and was able to make it work, but I don't really understand it. [ Editor ( typeof ( FolderPropertyEditor ), typeof ( UITypeEditor ))] ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Analysis Services Service does not start

  I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition for use with Team Foundation Server. I have verified the installation according to the documentation, and all is well except that the Analysis Services Service is not started.

• SQL Server Performance is degraded drastically after migrating to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE 2000

  Hi, Recently we have migrated our application from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server Express 2005(SP 1). This has significantly reduced the performance of our Windows.NET application which is developed using C#. For example : While logging in to the application two databases are being attached. Time taken in MSDE: 16 secs Time taken in SQL Server Express 2005 : 58 secs Also note performance is degraded for normal screens where data is retrived from database using inline queries. Questions: 1) Is there any special(optimum) configuration(installation parameters) while installing the SQL Server Express 2005 setup 2) Is there any query optimization to be done w.r.t SQL Server ...Show All

• Visual C++ std::vector::resize bug

  This is the declaration for the second form of std::vector::resize (in VC 2005): void resize( size_type _Newsize , Type _Val ); Note it passes by value, not by const reference. This is different to every other function in std::vector, and means you cannot construct a vector of items marked with __declspec( align( n ) ). I modified the vector header to use a const reference instead and it seems to work fine now. The Intel C Compiler does not seem to have this problem, and I've just checked the GCC header and it passes by const reference. I can't really see any reason why you'd want to pass by value, so I'm presuming this really is a bug. Does anyone in MS read these forums cfp c_f_p: Are y ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What a drag...

  On the games I've made in XNA, there seems to be some slowdown drag time when the processor is doing something else for a second. This usually happens at the worst possible time and my 360 controller can only take so many throws into the wall. I know that professionally created games do a good job of keeping things on an even keel (unless you're defragging your hard drive or something)... How have the rest of you managed to get around the slowdown ticks Does it have something to do with the XNA thing that keeps everything at 60fps I haven't delved into that area yet.. That sounds very much like what you see with a GC2. Spacewar doesn't have any media that is loaded during run. However the MS guys tol ...Show All

• Visual C++ GetFileSecurity(): Data area...too small

  Hi, I am trying to read out the DACL for files and directories, to evaluate the contents. The problem is that I just can't get this function to work properly. In the examples that I have found I should be able to call GetFileSecurity twice in order to get the SecurityDescriptor for an Object. Everytime I get "The data area sent to the api function is too small" - reguardless of how I allocate (HeapAlloc() or malloc()), hardcoded parameters... it seems like a dead end. The soloution should be C based (no / minimal .NET). Please help me out.

• .NET Development SqlBulkCopy - Recommended BatchSize's?

  Hello, Is there any rule of thumb for deciding what to set the BatchSize when using SqlBulkCopy When inserting around 20,000 rows When inserting around 100,000 What about 500,000 Is there any guide that could point me towards any 'rule of thumb's Or is the only way to test with my specific data and with different BathSizes I have googled but could not come across any 'guide' such as this. Thanks, Drew A lot of factors can affect your scenarios. Basically, increasing the batch size can improve performance. But constructing the batch in client and handling the results in the server also have some overhead. So you don't want to set it to 0 (one batch). Usually batch size between 100 and ...Show All
