• Visual C++ How do VC++ set the Size and 'Topmost' of a console window?

  I looked up MSDN and found the API function ' SetConsoleWindowInfo ' ,which can resize,according to MSDN, the size and position of a console window, however,I tried it and found it doesn't work at all.I don't understand why the API doesn't work on my PC(IDE: VC++ 6.0 OS:WinXP SP2).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Linq to Entities and Linq to SQL

  I've just about finished reading the ADO.NET Entity Framework Overview document and have been playing with Linq, Xlinq, Dlinq (apologies for no political correctness in what these are all called now). One thing i don't quite get is why the distinction between ADO.Net entities (Linq to Entities) and Linq to SQL - other than for historical reasons. Now i think i grasp the intentions and purposes of both (disclaimer : i haven't read all the docs about dLinq quite yet!), but why they are defined as being different is a little confusing for me. Would Linq to SQL not be regarded as conceptual "Linq to Entity" - that is ADO.Net entity over a single table In other words, although they operate on a slightly different basis, should I ...Show All

• SQL Server How to access data in a SQL Command in the OLE DB Destination editor

  Instead of blindly inserting all my data from a previous task into a table using "Table" as the Data Access Mode in the OLEDB Destination editor. I would like to join this output with a reference table and insert only qualifying rows. Question is "how do I access the data from previous task so that I can do a meaningful equijoin" I know I have to use the "SQL Command" data access mode, but what next Thanks. chiraj If you are using an OLE DB Source compoennt then you can sort the data in there which means you can get rid of the SORT component which is a serious performance hit. You'll still have to set IsSorted=TRUE on the output of the OLE DB Source - but h ...Show All

• .NET Development GetBytes() issue - attemting to load into a MemoryStream object

  Hi all, I have a column in my database that is of type image (bytes) and what to load this data into a System.IO.MemoryStream object but can't seem to find out how to do it. Hopefully, someone out there would have had experience of doing this and can show me the way. I have the following code... System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(objSqlCeDataReader.GetBytes(0, 0, null, 0, int.MaxValue)); ...which I know is wrong as I think this call to GetBytes() only returns the size/length of the total bytes as I am passing in a null buffer (3rd param). How can I do the database call and pass it into the MemoryStream object in one scoop Thanks Hi, Take a look at this article for sample code: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/da ...Show All
