• Visual Studio Express Editions DragDrop Bug?

  The following error will not show up while debugging or running the program in the IDE. (No control named 'Whoa') The ListBox1.DragDrop event will simply exit the sub and everything keeps going with no error message. The button.click event with the same code returns an error. (Also tested with a different type error, same behavior.)

• Visual FoxPro Organizing project files

  I'm trying to clean up unused files. Over the years my.pjt has piled up about 400/800 files of all sorts (.prg, .scx, .vcx, .mnx, .bak, .ini, .xml, .vbr, .err, .dbf, .fpt., .txt, etc.): located in 10 directories ... which is just cluttering up those directories. Is there any suggestable (lazy) way to re-organize and/or clean up (discard old unused files) or copy out only the my.pjt vital files (other than excluded report files, help files, and picture files). Thanks in advance, Thanks again, David, for your thoughtful feedback, That'll seem to help keep My.Pjt clean before dissecting out obsolete files; I'll have to test it though for 'included' vs. 'excluded' files and such. Thanks again for your invaluable feedback. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with SQLBindParameter

  I am developing an application, using ODBC, that needs to call a stored procedure in an SQL Server DBMS that has a mix of INPUT and INPUT_OUTPUT parameters.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Compose a BitmapImage from several BitmapImages

  Hello Im trying to compose a big BitmapImage (or any other BitmapSources) from a lot of MemoryStreams. For now, I just create an BitmapImage from each MemoryStream and draw them one by one on the DrawingContext like this; drawingContext.DrawImage(bitmapImage, destinationRect) It would speed up my app if I instead could draw the different streams on a larger BitmapImage, as you can see I have where on the larger image they should be drawn, and then just draw it once on the DrawingContext. Is this possible somehow /Daniel Ok, I've fixed it. I did like this if someone is interested: I created a RenderTargetBitmap and a DrawingVisual. I used the DrawingContext from the DrawingVisual, DrawingContext dc = dra ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with SBE Business Contact Manager

  I'm not sure if this is the correct place but I'm stuck! I installed MS SBE 2003 w/ business contact manager and for about a week it worked well. Then funny things started happening. I got to the point where the business task menu pull down menu (from within Outlook 2003) was not even showing up! The contact manager that is under the same window as the regular contacts would only display the name of the contact but nothing else stating that the Business Contact Manager was unable to Initialize this Form. Ouch! That sucked. So, I backed up everything I could think of (exported all bits and pieces of my Outlook to individual PST files and copied those to my external drive. Then I attempted to uninstall MSO SBE which worked sort of. It ...Show All

• SQL Server Simulating triggers on SQL Server Mobile

  Hi, Can anybody let me know if there are ways to programatically track changes made to a SQL SERVER CE table I am writing a db monitoring tool on SQL server CE which should track any changes made to the table.(Insert update and delete) We could have done this using triggers on Sql Server 2005. Since triggers are not supported on SQL Server CE, are there any alternate ways to achieve this functionality Regards, Ananth You can track changes to a database by using a few techniques. I have used a few on my own products and they involve adding a uniquly indexed GUID column to the tracked tables and adding a tombstone table to the database. Deletions are detected through the tombstone table that ...Show All

• .NET Development Fatal Flaw in the Large Object Heap?

  Hi All, After playing with the GC I find the following interesting. The problem domain I typically work in requires the allocation of very large arrays for image processing. We have discovered some issues when our processes are long running. We run out of memory and can not reclaim it. Our only recouse is to restart our processes. In an effort to discover why I uncovered the following: The LOH (Large Object Heap) is never compacted. I think this is a fatal flaw in the GC. I understand MS stated reason for this, but shouldn't there be someway to compact the LOH if necessary, at least a method call that forces the issue Does anyone know of anything that can be done Any workaround is better than killing the process... Here is a demo ...Show All
