• Visual Studio vb file problem with visual sourcesafe

• SQL Server Multi-value parameters returning 'ALL' or an itemized list

  I work in the Data Warehouse where like in most large companies we run very long and complex SQL with lots of data in parameters are datasets. Due to the nature of our SQL I need our multi-valued parameters to return (something along the lines of...) ‘ALL’ if all values are chosen or an itemized list (as it already does) only if not all values were selected. The SQL would look like this... where ‘ALL’ in (@PARAMATER_NAME) or table.field in (@PARAMETER_NAME) I can not seem to find anything about this online, which I would assume is a very common issue. Can anyone help me with functionality I am well aware of that as I mentioned above. ...Show All

• Visual C# Static fields, inheritance, and Reflection...

   I'm trying to force a class that inherits from a base class that contains a static field to assign a value to this field. I'm not having any luck. For example, say I have a base class "Shape": public class Shape { public static string Description = "A shape"; } and I want to create a class that inherits from shape, but I want the new class to be forced to assign a value to 'Description'. Is this possible I know I can't use abstract or virtual along with static.. The reason for this is that I want to be able, when using reflection, to use the FieldInfo class to return the 'Description' of the inheriting class. I know I can assign a value to 'Description' in the constructor of the inheriting class, but the Typ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA performance

  In the past i learned c++ cause its faster as managed code for games and stuff. Now we are about to start a pretty large game project. This project will be an multiplayer first person shooter (swat kinda game, like Swat4 of sierra, Raven Shield of UbiSoft, ...). Cause high performance is a big requirement on this project we want to know if XNA framework (using XNA studio express) is the best (or good) sollution for this. Writing this game in c++ will be a long, long, long way, maybe XNA can shorten this development process, only we want to be sure about the performance. hmm, k, seems like i'm gone use XNA :) maybe i know why i had performance differences with managed and native code.

• Visual FoxPro Importing to Excel

  Dear Friends, I would like to export my cursors to Excel file but when I do this they send only the datas of one cursor and the rest not. How to do this eg ; SELECT cursor1 SELECT cursor2 SELECT cursor3 copy to compare.xls type xls only the datas of the cursor3 will be exported not for the rest advance thanks for your suggestions satish Satish, The COPY TO command only operates on the currently selected work area. If your 3 cursors are all the same structure you can use a SQL-SELECT to create a single file: select * from cursor1 ; into cursor4 ; union ; select * from cursor2 ; union ; select * from cursor3 select cursor4 copy to TheFile.xls type xl5 ...Show All

• Visual C# proper constructor chaining direction

  I was looking at some code at my work and with several overloaded constructors having the same code in each one, I thought, beautiful, perfect place to use constructor chaining. Except I'm not sure which direction is the proper way to go What I mean is, in the constructor, do you go from the general to the specific, using nulls for the missing parameters, or do you go from specific to general and then in the body of the constructor set the missing properties Where things get interesting is when you want to call the base constructor, should it go in one place If you're using constructor chaining, then you can do this, but where does it go, at the top or the bottom of the chain Here is a sample class that illustrates what I mean. ...Show All
