• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How does LINQ search collections?

  First, I'm pretty ignorant on the internals of LINQ, so I've been searching around regarding this, and not found anything so far. Since it seems for LINQ to work with a collection, all it needs is to implement IEnumerable, then I was wondering if that means LINQ uses sequential search when evaluating queries on a collection Is it possible that the concrete implementation of IQueryable can be written for each collection type to specifically exploit better search algorithms such as binary search or whatever the collection supports If yes, then I also wonder if Microsoft has actually done that for the standard collections that have better search algorithms than sequential search Obviously it is not a problem for querying against a database ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem adding files to deployment project.

  I am having problems adding text files (xml) to a deployment project. I check out the deployment project and try to add a file (from both the File System View and the Solution Explorer). I select the desired file from the Add File dialog and click Open. The Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. In the past I found when I observed this behavior I had to make sure the file I was trying to add was writable so I would check it out from the source control (I am using ClearCase) and I would be able to add the file. Now this doesn't seem to make a difference, no matter what I do, the Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. I have not seen any sort of error message anywhere obvious. I can add project outputs, but not files. Has anyone se ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Basic 2005 passing parameter to Oracle SQL

  Hi, I am using VS 2005, Oracle 9i, and have a question on passing a parameter to the query defined in a DataSet. All the examples I've seen use the use this syntax “ Select * From Customer Where CustomerId = @CustID” The problem I’m having is – I get an error on the @CustID. The SQL generator puts Quotes around it making it worthless. How do I do this Thanks VERY much, Carl From some ODBC programming I remember a syntax, where each parameter was just specified by a and you had to pass in parameters for such a call by adding them in the correct order. You may try that: "WHERE LASTNAME = ". Just a guess, might not work, though. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Transform Problems

  I'm attempting to perform a transform of an image, however, I am not certain how to do this. I want to rotate a picture, however, I want to rotate it in a 3D fashion. Imagine holding a picture in your hand and rotating your hand 45 degrees or so (to give it some depth). Is there a simple transform (like rotate or skew) which will work Or so I need to do some sort of a 3D thing Any places to get sample code for this The effect you're looking for is commonly called "2.5D". WPF really doesn't support this without going to full 3D (there's no way to get the distant portion of the image to "taper off"), but various folks on the web have faked it.
