• SQL Server Data disappearing during Run time

  When I enter data into a SQL database and save it, the data that I have just added disapears, but when I close the applicaiton and re-open it, it's still there - is there any reason for this and any way to get it to stay Any ideas Unfortuantly I can't find this the only one similar is "FAQ: My data doesn't get saved in Visual Studio" however this isn't the problem, in my program I have a save button wich updates the database, when I click this the data saves to the database but disapears from view, however if I close the application and re open it the data that I'd previously saved is nw there ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CF 2.0 based app is using two MainMenu Control types.

  Hi all, I have this strange problem/issue that I have had bothering me for a while now. I have an application where the users browses through Forms to perform various bits of functionality, and then closes the form to return back to the previous form (the Form from which it was openned), and the Focus is right back with the Form that openned the closed Form (if you know what I mean :)). Now this all works fine in my application apart from in one place, where when the called Form is closed, the calling form (or my Application even) doesn't get focus back until the 2nd tap on the application with the pen. The Windows start button and Input control on the MainMenu are focused and can be activated from the first click on them, but not my appli ...Show All

• Visual C# Language Converting Tool

  I was wondering if there is a tool that converts projects into different languages I know about the developerfusion tool that converts C# -> VB.NET and visa versa: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx but I'm looking for something a little more powerful (and hopefully free) that converts entire projects. My projects are never all that huge and don't involve databases or anything, so I don't need a "sledgehammer" of a tool, more like a "fly swatter" I have Visual Studio 2005. I'm hoping there might just be a plugin that I'm unaware of. Actually, our tools (and most of our competitors) perform source code conversion - they convert from the source code, not the IL. The reasons are exactly as you've stated ...Show All

• Visual Basic Split Functions

  How do i do to use Split Functions for split binary file. For example if i have a file with this text Split is a method on the string class. So I suppose you could read the data into a string and then split it. This could be done by using My.Computer.Filesystem.ReadAllText method and then calling split method on the string or You could convert the byte array to a string using the .tostring method and then use the split method on this string. But I'm not sure what other binary data is there and what may be lost as a result of any conversions due to encoding. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem in Sorting of default view of datatable

  I am using VS 2005. I got problem in sorting default view of datatable and then assigning it to the grid.But the problem is,  its not sorting properly when there is integer or decimal  field present in the data table . other string fields  of the data table sorts properly .Also i am using typed dataset. code is like  DataView dataView1 = typeddataset.tablename.DefaultView;  dataView1.Sort = grid1.SortColumn + " " + grid1.SortOrder; grid1.DataSource = dataView1; Yes I agree this the way you get sorted view and that is what I have done if you see my code. I was giving view on your first statement that its doing char sorting. ...Show All

• SQL Server Optins of trailing Database change in sql server

  Hi All, I am in need of some option using which i can trail the changes made to my database. Specially i want to track all the DDL and DMl changes. I know about the external tools provided by lumigent and some other companies to do this but i was just wondering if we have some option within sql server. I don't need extensive report as provided by lumigent. Just getting somethin on DDL and DML will help.  Even help on some work arounds to do same will be appreciated. TIA Prashant   If you don’t want to read from the log, you will have to implement something on your own, like putting triggers on every object for tracing DML and DDL. The best thing to keep track of all changes made to the data ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Replacing contents part of a view

  I want to create a "main view" that has toolbars and underneath it will be the "contents" area. The contents area will be filled with the view based on the toolbar button that was selected. Is there a way to pop another WPF view into the contents area of another view ie. in WinForms you could have a Panel and then create multiple UserControl views, and then put the UserControl onto the Panel based on the toolbar item selected. How can I do this in WPF Thanks. ...Show All

• .NET Development Detecting Disconnected Sockets

  I'm creating a multi-threaded Tcp-Server, each thread reads from it's Network Stream in blocking mode. How can I detect if a client is lost (not disconnected correctly) My server works by catching the IO exception or receiving 0 bytes from the read function to alert a disconnect. The problem is closing the connection (and thread for that matter) when the client's power is lost or it loses network connectivity. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. If the client gracefully closed, you would receive 0 bytes from the receive if the client timed out or RESET the connection, you will get an exception. if you have a thread per client, then you just let that thread die. if you have a threa ...Show All

• .NET Development Membership - "Mixed" Windows & SQL Server authentication?

  Hi All, I'm thinking about using membership and role management features in order to control the access to a system we are creating. This system will have some functionalities accessed through internet and some funcionalities from within intranet (internal staff shall have different roles from external users and therefore). Is it possible to use Windows authentication for internal users and SQL Server to authenticate external users Can I use the default providers to do this or I need to develop this provider Thanks a lot!

• SQL Server MS Access' IIF function in a MS SQL Server view

  I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL"). How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000 Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view..... Besides, the function ISNULL is different in these two product. In Access, there is only one parameter for ISNULL, like ISNULL(column). In your case, it will return 0 if it is not true or 1 if it is true. However, in SQL Server, ISNULL take two parameters like ISNULL(column,'yourNonNullValue'). If the column value is NULL, the function will take 'yourNonNullValue' a ...Show All
