• SQL Server Urgent Help on date calculation

  I have a table that hold a couple of fields. STARTDATE - The day the service starts FREQTYPE - This field tells me how often a schedule occurs. Here are the vaules -1=oncall, 0=days, 1=weeks, 2=months FREQPERIOD - This is the number of days, weeks, or months between services. a value of -1 would indicate being oncall. DayOfWeek, Day of week for week or month-based frequencies 0=sunday 6=saturday -1=if on call WEEKOFMONTH - week of month for month based frequencies 1-4, value of 5 if it the last week of the month, So what I need is for this report to look at the start date then figure out what the frequency is (days, weeks, months) then look at the frequency period (how many days are between services) what day of the week it falls on and li ...Show All

• .NET Development Bulk loading a SQL CE table from a text file

  I'm loading a sql ce table from a text file on an HP IPAQ using VB in Visual Studio 2005. The text file I'm loading now has about 16,000 100 character records and it takes about 6 minutes to load. The problem is the text file could have a 100,000 records or more. I tried "BULK INSERT" but SQL CE bulked at "BULK" so I assume it isn't implemented in CE. I've been looking at sqlbulkcopy but it looks like all the data has to be in a memory-resident table. Does anyone know the fastest way to load a text file into an sql ce database I need a run-spot-run explanation and some sample code in VB. Accessing the data with a binary search is going to be infinitely more efficient than hitting i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System About warning C6258: Using TerminateThread does not allow proper thread clean

  Hi all, I am getting following warning while doing static code analysis - Warning 2 warning C6258: Using TerminateThread does not allow proper thread clean up 296 Code of line: TerminateThread(m_hThread, 0); Any help is appreciated . TerminateThread should only be called in an emergency situation since it does not clean up any memory, handles, and system resources owned by the thread in question. The only appropriate time to call it is when the application is shutting down and the thread is not responding. And even in that case, you need to know exactly what the thread is doing, and control all of the code that the target thread could possibly be running at the time of termination. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Convert CString to char string

  I want to pass a string from a CString variable to a system () function. The function won't take a CString, but requires a char. How do I convert CString to char, or a format usable for the function. Thanks. If the function you are calling is expecting a char* that it intends to modify (the contents of), I wouldn't use Jonathan's method, and I'd prefer to use GetBuffer on the CString before passing it to the function. On the other hand, if it expects a const char*, you could pass the CString directly. Unless it's a Unicode build in which you case you'd need to do a T2A macro or something similar. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development A major Bug in Sonic Premastering...IMPORTANT READ

  Just got a grasp on what is happening when I premaster... In Standard Content I take my advanced content and hvdvd_ts folders and burn them but I just realized it is making my hvdvd_ts subdirectories dissapear! I have hvdvd_ts\background\pevob01.map and when I burn through Standard content all that shows up on my disc is the root of the hvdvd_ts folder. So any subdirectories in hvdvd_ts are gone! Major issue. It should burn my project as it is and not be removing folders! Have a look at figure 3.3.2-1 in the spec. Sub-directories are not allowed in HVDVD_TS. This applies to category 2 discs (adv. content) too... ...Show All
