• SQL Server Shrinking databases or files

  Hi, I have some doubts about Shrinking databases or files. while shrinking a file, I learned that we are alllowed to shrink more than the minimum size of the file, does not it bring damage to the data in that file Hi Derek, I understood what you mean finally. When we apply shrinking to our files, we make the growing process start in order to activate the unused spaces(rows). So growing process requires too much performance which shows the inefficiency of shrinking. Besides, heavy shrinking, which is also called that trying to make a file very and very small, is really dangerous for datas in the files. This is the another disadvantages of shrinking. As you said before, we should only apply this method(shrinking) when we drop huge ta ...Show All

• Visual C++ hiding LNK warnings

  Basically, I want to get rid off all the LNK warning For ex, LNK4099, or LNK4204, or any other one. I am linking my debug lib with a third party release lib. That's why I am getting those. Is there some kind of "pragma" for the linking step to hide warnings There was the undocumented #pragma comment(linker, "/ignore:4099") but it does not work anymore on Visual Studio 7.1. I is annoying to look at hundreds of these warnings rolling down on my screen. Thank you. I did 1. Create new Win32 console project. (Debug project) 2. Project Properties->C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library = Multi-threaded (/MTd). I linked with my release third party library, and this time I get: ...Show All

• Visual C++ Version problems in VS2005

  I've been given the unenviable task of updating a large number of our unmanaged C++ VS2003 solutions to VS2005 and have hit a rather annoying issue. A number of our libraries contain two version resources, each with different preprocessor conditions. There is usually one for debug and one for release builds( NDEBUG and _DEBUG as the conditions), so that the information for that build is tailored to the library type. Unfortunately when I upgrade that solution to VS2005 and then attempt to look at the resources via the resource editor I get hit with the message 'error RC2135: file not found: VERSIONINFO'. If I delete the version information and recreate them, they all work fine, but it seems that the *.rc files are not infact changing. It ...Show All

• Visual C++ CProgressDlg - is it available in VC2005

  I remember that in VC 6 you could go to PROJECT | ADD| COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS and select a progress dialog, I cannot seem to find this in vc 2005, does anyone know if this is still available or has it been replaced. It used to generate a CProgressDlg class. Thanks in Advance! I see the same CProgressCtrl based progress bar when I use the ActiveX control Wizard. I am specifically talking about the "progress dialog" component which was available in VC6 under Project|Add|Components and Controls....it was based on a CProgressDlg class, I dont even see this class in the list of MFC classes in VC2005, so is it no longer part of MFC after VC6 Anyone know anything about the "CProgressDlg" c ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there an equivalent to web.config for C# executable?

  I have been writing some web applications with C# and find the web.config file to be very useful for many reasons. I would like to know if there an equivalent to web.config for a C# executable.
