• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problems with Ink Analysis

  Using the Windows SDK from Dec CTP I get the following when calling inkAnalyzer.BackgroundAnalyze(). Could not load file or assembly 'IALoader, Version=1.7.5333.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Is this a problem with my setup or is the assembly really missing   Does anyone else have this   I had the Mobile and Tablet PC SDK from PDC installed previously, and repaired my Windows SDK after removing it.  I will do a full reinstall if others have this assembly.  The IACore.dll and IAWinFX.dll both have the 1.7.5333.0 version. The application worked with the PDC version of the SDK.   IALoader.dll is included in t ...Show All

• .NET Development removing file name and extension from complete path

  hello all ! I m new to c# progrmming so plz help me in completing the following program I want to write a program which takes a complete path name and separates out the file name and extension in two different strings.

• Visual Basic Two Bugs in HTML Select Element

  I believe I have found 2 bugs in the Select HTML element. If you enter server-side of: ddService.Items.Item(index).selected = true ddService being the ID of the <select> element with a runat="server" attribute the code that is generated is <option selected="selected" value="3233">Some option text the proper structure is <option selected value="3233">Some Option text The same is true for the multiple attribute. the code that is generated is multiple="multiple" Microsoft's own documentation states that the proper values for selected and multiple are true/false.

• .NET Development WinFX and Interop

  Hello everyone! Right i was wondering since WinFX (.Net 3) is part of the Subsystem in Windows Vista if its possible to use the Managed API framework to communicate with other running applications using User32.dll in .net 2.0 i have to use Interop to import the dll and manually managed the code. But since WinFX is a subsystem surely there is already a managed API for User32 or something I cant find anything about the new WinFX features or documentation on the new procedures, namespaces and classes. Does anyone have any links or ideas to some form of documentation or anything of interest Thanks So .net 3 is nothing more than .net 2 + a presentation / workflow layer. Damn looks like im writing a managed w ...Show All

• .NET Development Array.Sort, List<T>.Sort terribly slow on a real-life testcase, while ArrayList.Sort isn't

  I've found out that the following data: 1,2,3,...,n-1,n,n,n-1,...,3,2,1 makes Array.Sort and List<T>.Sort work more like O(n^2) than O(nlogn). Here's the code: using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; public class Test { public static void Main(string[] args) { int n = 100000; int[] s = new int[2 * n]; for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { s[ i] = i; s[i + n] = n - 1 - i; } int[] a = (int[]) s.Clone(); DateTime start = DateTime.Now; Array.Sort(a); Console.WriteLine("Array.Sort: " + (DateTime.Now - start)); List<int> b = new List<int>(); b.AddRange(s); start = DateTime.Now; b.Sort(); Console.WriteLine("List<int>.Sort: " + (DateTime.Now - start)); ArrayList c = new ArrayList ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I disable transaction logging in a stored procedure?

  Greetings, I would like to turn off transaction logging for a long-running stored procedure. It is doing some one-shot utility work in a temporary table. If the stored procedure fails then I'll delete all the rows in the table. Is is possible to turn off (or at least minimize) the logging for a single stored procedure I'm looking at this from a performance perspective, thinking that doing no logging will speed things up a bit. The stored procedure will potentially update hundreds of thousands rows. Am I on the right track or barking up the wrong tree Thanks, BCB   hello, everything that happens in the database are entered into the transaction log when you are in the full ...Show All

• .NET Development validate IP

  how can check if the given text was a valid IP format You could also use System.Net.IPAddress.TryParse. Here's an example: public bool IsAddressValid(string addrString) { IPAddress address; return IPAddress.TryParse(addrString, out address); } Creating the IPAddress may seem excessive if you're just doing validation, but it may perform better than using a regular expression. Your results may vary. ...Show All

• Windows Forms ComboBox Binding Problem

• SQL Server Draw marking line on Chart

  I want to mark a value on the x-axis of a (stacked) bar chart. (So I want a horizontal line that is fixed on a chart.) What I tried so far is adding an expression that says: =260 to the dataset, and I added that field to the Data Area of the chart. Then I plotted that value as a line. This approach leaves me with 2 problems: 1. When the category grouping only has one group, there is no line, just a dot (or another marker you can select). 2. Because of the extra field in the Data Area of the chart, the legend holds useless information. Isn't there another way to plot a horizontal line on a fixed value of the X-axis I also took some screenshots so you can see for yourself. The charts display the ManDays per Year.

• SQL Server Stop run in Stored Procedure for msg errors

  Is there a way to stop the run of a stored procedure when a msg error occurs I've already got a Try...Catch setup, and is stops when an actual error happens (i.e. inserting a duplicate row). But when just a message occurs (i.e. msg 4864, which is a bulk insert error and no rows are inserted), the stored procedure runs as if the insert worked, and finishes the procedure. I need it to stop and process as an error so I know the row was not inserted. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Thanks, Laura This is certainly a bug. I was able to repro the problem. Basically, the try..catch seems to swallow the execution errors from bulk insert. Could you please file a bug using http://connect.microsoft.com with a sm ...Show All
