• .NET Development DataTable.ImportRow question

  Hi, I have a question about the .NET DataTable.ImportRow method. If I import a DataRow into an empty DataTable, will the empty DataTable pick up the schema of the DataRow I'm trying to put into it For example, I have code that looks like this: DataTable tableWithData; DataTable emptyTable = new DataTable(); emptyTable.ImportRow(tableWithData.Rows[0]); If I call tableWithData.Columns.Count, I get 5. If I call emptyTable.Columns.Count before calling ImportRow, I get 0, which is what I expect from the DataTable constructor with no arguments... But when I call emptyTable.Columns.Count after calling ImportRow, I still get 0. And just to make sure that a DataRow is being imported, calling emptyTable.Rows.Count after the ImportRow stat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Development Group - Please help! Cannot compare databases.

  I simply cannot compare two databases in my environment without the application erroring out. I've tried it from multiple machines, freshly installed, and it keeps happening.

• .NET Development .Net Remoting And ReaderWriterLock

  Hi, I am working on a .Net Remoting program. In side the remoting class, I need to use a ReaderWriterLock object. But it seems that all method calls from remoting client can easily acquire the writer lock on that object regardless the lock has been acquired before. Here is the code sample public class RemotingExampleService : MarshalByRefObject {     private ReaderWriterLock lockObj = new ReaderWriterLock();     public void  LockObject()     {         Console.WriteLine(lockObj.IsWriterLockHeld); //return true except the first call         lockObj.AcquireWriterLock(-1);     } } I used Singleton r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What gives?

  I wrote this code for my program to create a directory. It looks like this: My .Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory( "C:/Documents and Settings/" + Environ( "USERNAME" ) + "My Documents/" + TextBox1.Text) and it wont do it... it just gives me an error that says that the file path isn't supported. I am not sure if this matters or not, but it looks like your slashes are going the wrong direction in the original example. Glenn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions issue with dialog and msgbox

  Hi, Can someone please help me with this issue; I have simplified the process somewhat I have a form with a textbox displayed within a MDI form as a dialog When the OK button is pressed the database is searched for any records matching the textbox text If one of the records fields is true I display a msgbox. The issue is that I need to close the search dialog before the msgbox displays. It seems that, due to the fact that it is a msgbox, it prevents the other dialog from closing due to it being disabled while the msgbox is in view. As soon as I close the msgbox both close. I have tested this using just dialogs, eg: myform.showdialog Thanks for the reply, I understand this, h ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. graphics error

  not sure i know what the problem is but when i run space wars it finds a line of code that says this .GameComponents.Add( this .graphics); and says it no suitable graphics device exception was unhandled Here is a thread where people had your same issue and the fix that worked for them. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx postid=682322&siteid=1 The way it sounds from the thread, if the fix indicated does not work, then you will most likely need to buy a new graphics card that supports shader model 2.

• SQL Server Transact-sql code does not work. HELP!

  Hi all, I am new to transact-sql and hoped that someone here might be able to help. I have a db with a field called "part" ... part contains text in the format: xxxxx-xx-xxxxx (the number of x's before or after each hyphen vary) such that I could have xxx-xxxxx-xxx as the part. Someone wrote this transact-sql to take my current "part" field and move it to three different part fields ... a,b,c If xxxxx-xx-xxxxx was the part in the original db, then a would contain xxxxx .. b contains xx ... c contains xxxxx Make sense Here is the code. It doesn't work and I can't seem to figure out why! It looks like it is just trying to find the hyphens and cut out the text from that... but it fails with an error that say ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bug using <see langword="null"/> in September CTP

  Apparently the tag <see langword="null"/> translates into nullnullptr when using the September CTP. It looks like the C++ nullptr-keyword is always appended to the correct keyword because if you switch to the Visual Basic view is shows as Nothingnullptr. Not sure if it's related, but there appears to be a small bug in main_sandcastle.xsl. In that file, I find: < xsl:when test = " @langword='false' or @langword='False' " > < span class = " cs " > false </ span > < span class = " vb " > False </ span > < span class = " cpp " > false </ span > </ xsl:when > < xsl:otherwise > < xsl:vale-of select = " ...Show All
