• Visual Studio Express Editions How to make an auto updating program?

  Hi, I am very new to Visual Basic, and programming for that matter.   I was wondering how I could make an auto updating program. I searched for it and saw some sort of components, but didnt understand how to use it. If anyone could help me that would be useful. I want to have a program that with one click will synchronize a folder with one on the internet. That includes deleting files, adding new ones, and if files have changed, updating those.   Thanks, rohan just to add, I have actually done this before, but I have a full version of Visual Studio, not the express version. Basically, my own applications check the webservice for new updates, the webservice gets the version of t ...Show All

• SQL Server Read SQL Profiler Trace output

  Hi Folks, I want to Read the SQL Profiler Trace Output using VB or VB.NET I read some forums. They advice to import SMO in VB.NET.. But how can i Import this.... This is very Urgent for me.... Please Reply me immediately... First thing you need to do is set up your trace to go into a file. (Sending the trace data directly into SQL Server is very bad for performance.) Once you've got the trace file you can do something like this (which is right out of Books Online - see that document for more details.) USE AdventureWorks; GO SELECT * INTO temp_trc FROM fn_trace_gettable('c:\temp\my_trace.trc', default); GO ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Create error log text file

  How do you go about creating an error log from a text file, then once the file is made, write back to that file if another error is caught I can take care of the Try,Catch statements, but I need a little help creating the file in a desirable location, then if it exists when another error is generated, find the file and add to it. The location would be a shared file, do you think there would be any share violations from a file that was created remotely I thought of using a db file but, if there are network issues, that wouldnt be good since this app will be shared across a network.

• Smart Device Development SDK sample 'Back' Errors

  Hi, The sample Back (sdkback.exe) have an Edit box in the dialog box, if you press Action key when the focus is on the edit box, the app is exit. I'm writing an handler to response an action key when user press in Edit ctrl. But it always exit. I spy the Dialog box which is the parent of the Edit control, see when Action key pressed, Edit send an WM_COMMAND to it's parent. the WPARAM is 1, which is equal to IDOK, then app exit. So maybe, SDK sample should be more strictly doing a demo. And I was wondering how to understand this resource as a menu: IDR_BACK_MENUBAR RCDATA MOVEABLE PURE BEGIN 0x0000, 0x0001, 0xfffe, 0x0001, 0x0004, 0x0010, 0x0066, 0x0000, 0xffff END Thanks, Eric ...Show All

• .NET Development maybe i can't?

    From what I've read, the dataset is used as an in memory holder for data, which can be manipulated and then reposted and resynchronized with the database. So, how do you query the in memory dataset for complex resultsets. http://www.queryadataset.com/dataset.aspx  //A product that does the job Is there another way besides buying third party software to query a dataset to display data that you have locally in memory I understand you can do simple, one table filters using a dataview object. But, this isn't good enough. For example, Select Count(CustomerID) From Customers Where CustomerID not in ( Select CustomerID From Customer_Orders)  //Uses multiple tables.
