• Visual C++ MFC App. Resizing CEdit boxes

  I have a MDI window. I have A CTreeCtrl box on the top left and a CEdit box to the top right. Along the whole bottom is another CEdit box. When ever you drag the corner of the window to resize nothing expands with it. I've search every where with no solution. So how do i resize everything or just lock the window I've tried to use a splitter but i havent been able to implement it.. You need to adjust the size yourself.  I'm assuming that you're creating the controls yourself in the parent window's (the MDI window) OnCreate() method.  (If that is not the case, then please clarify.) When you created the CEdit on the bottom, you know where the offsets relative to the parent are to be from left, b ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File with Nested Data

  I am looking to import data into SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I want to take data that is contained in a flat file and place it into the various appropriate tables in my system. The flat file contains nested data. For example... Bob,Smith,555-5555,123~3.33|245~1.99,Active So I want to build a package that brings in the records as follows Client Table: First Name, Last Name, Phone, and Status (Bob, Smith, 555-5555, Active) Order Table: OrderID, Amount (ID 123 @ $3.33 and another row ID 245 @ $1.99). If possible I would also like to tie the orders to the client record that was inserted. My first question is if SSIS supports nested fields as in my example. Can it break a file by commas, then within a field by other delimiters I ...Show All

  Hi, can we control how transaction send from principal to mirror If application inserting 10000000 rows in one transaction to principal database how infomation will be transfered once it is commited and where it will be stored before it is replayed on mirror database 1. Is it going to be 1 big data packet 2.is it going to be split on many packets (of what size ) Thanks Alex Log records are sent from principal to mirror by log block boundary (64k max). In this case, since the transaction log for the transaction will be larger than 64K, multiple log blocks will be sent to the mirror. The log records are being sent continuously -- it doesn't wait for the commit. The log re ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Query to update a Column when the subquery returns more than one row

  Hi People, I am having a table which has some 10 cols, only one column had all Nulls. DB-SQL2K5 I am now writing a query like Update Test1 set Id = (Select t2.Id from Test2 t2, Test1 t1 where t2.Name = t1.Name) as likely this query is faling as the sub query is retuning more than a row. What is the best method to achive my requirement Thanks MShetty, the query I proposed will work because the correlated subquery works not once, but for all rows in the outer table.

• Windows Forms Timer problem with windows service

  Dear All, I have set a timer for my windows service. The problem is that when I start my windows service it writes to a file and I find that it just wrote once that is when the service starts. I set the interval to 10000 that is 10s. So what is the possible problem here any help please Windows Forms Timer won't work at all with services... Threading.Timer will always use a worker thread and is considered the most reliable. Logging your actions is always a good idea, Windows Service already provides a log source for you. And you're correct about time checking... Andrej ...Show All

• Visual C++ Program runs slower when compiled with Visual Studio 2005 (in Release with optimization)

  Hey, I have a performance problem with the new Visual Studio 2005. My code (which is a genetic algorithm) is 3 times slower when compiled under Visual Studio 2005 compared to when I was compiling it under Visual Studio 2003. With Visual Studio 2003, it used to run in 3.0639 seconds, and now it runs in 9.0031 seconds. I run both code in Release. I tried every optimization option, and adding the /D_SECURE_SCL=0 compiler command to the project options with only minor differences. Is there any other way to get back to the speed Visual Studio 2003 It is a bit absurd to upgrade to a new compiler and get lesser performances. Thanks a lot!!! Antoine Atallah Hi. Interesting. That is a lot of "new"s. Looks to me tha ...Show All
