• Smart Device Development Pocket PC application Development Strategy

  Hi, I am searching for a solution for connecting Pocket PC application to Desktop MS Access DB. Currently my Palm Device application communicates with Desktop MS Access DB via custom conduit using HotSync Manager. Now I am planning to develop same application for PPC 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.0 which should communicate with existing Desktop MS Access DB. I have no clue, where to start with. May I request from Pocket PC developer community to give me some valuable suggestions/opinion on giving a start to my development activity. Do I need to write conduit similar to one that consumed by my palm device application. I would appreciate any suggestions/links/samples on this topic. Thanks Santhosh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No warnings flagged by /analyze for uninitialized strings?

  Hi, Why doesn't code analyzer flag any error in the below case. Incidentally, it does flag C6001 and C4700 if I uncomment the 'if' statement. Is there a way to force the analyzer to flag in direct assignment of uninitialized ptrs as well #include "stdafx.h" int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[]) { char* str; // if ( str) str = argv[argc+1]; printf("%s",str); return 0; } Thanks. The analyzer doesn't know how many elements of argv are valid. It probably should, though, since the contract for main is defined by the C++ standard. We'll look into that for the next release. However, you can use an annotation ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182032(VS.80).aspx ) to explici ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tabs like VS2005

  I wanted to ask if anybody knows any control I can use in order to have the same "tabs" as VS2005. I mean the tabs which appears when we are opening a form or a class on the top of the window which is displaying the code or the form. If you didn't understand about what i am talking, i will try to draw them here :) They look like:  _________ _________ /  Form1.cs |/ Form2.cs  |_________________ And we are using them to navigate between the classes / forms which are open.   Thank you. You can host all your current MDI child forms inside one of the TabControl's pages. Start with a main form that contains just a TabControl. Change the FormBorderStyle of all y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System External DB Synonyms Cause Compilation Errors

  Hello! I have a solution with two database projects in it. In both we use synonyms for any cross-database references, e.g.: USE [AdventureWorks] GO /****** Object: Synonym [dbo].[synNorthwindEmployees] Script Date: 11/23/2006 15:18:35 ******/ CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[synNorthwindEmployees] FOR [Northwind].[dbo].[Employees] GO USE [Northwind] GO /****** Object: Synonym [dbo].[synAdvWorksEmployees] Script Date: 11/23/2006 15:25:26 ******/ CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[synAdvWorksEmployees] FOR [AdventureWorks].[HumanResources].[Employee] The problem we're experiencing is that any view that uses a synonym for an item from the other database causes a compilation error when we build the solution. So if we have the following view in the Ad ...Show All

• Visual C++ performance Comparison between C++, C# and COBOL

  Hi everyone, Currently our company is in the process of converting from a mainframe environment to PCs. As a pilot we took an application that processses about 5 million rows with about a record length of 7000 bytes the stats were amazing C# it took 3 minutes 17 seconds, C++ (native and not .net) 1 minute 28 seconds and believe it or not the COBOL program took only 45 seconds. The program has a simple read of a record, process few business rules and replace certain bytes in the string and write back to a new file. I expected C++ to perform better. does anyone has any idea why the COBOL program performed better than the C++ program. The data files were the same, the logic were the same, the machine it was executed was t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Redrawing graphics in userControl - Button

  Hi all, I've created a Custom button control and i'm drawing the graphics for the button when the paint event is fired. I used Invalidate method to redraw the graphics in events like  mousemove, click etc. My problem is as follows: I created a test application to test the created custom button control. I had two buttons on the form. When i click on one button 1 a message box is showed. This message box covers one part of the other button 2 in the form. When i dismiss the message box in such a way that the mouse is not over button 2, a part of the text in caption of button2 disappears. But what ever may be the case, button 1 appears properly as i have called invalidate during the click event for that button1. I understand ...Show All

• Windows Forms Appearance

  How would I change the appearance of some controls in the windows form, such as turning the tabs color from the normal color to say a gradient green to white or change the buttons shape and color from a rectangle to a circle and the color from a solid to a gradient. That kind of thing. Wow, I appreciate that a lot. Except when I put the first code in button3_Paint, it changed the form's appearance instead of the button's appearance, because of the "this.ClientRectangle" thing. Not to sound like a total noob, but I am new at GDI+ and the whole designing thing, so if you could maybe explain to me about the button class, like what I should put in there, where I should start because I honestly don't have a clue what to ...Show All

• SQL Server Using the SQL Server Agent for the first time
