• Visual Studio Express Editions Textfile

  How do i change a textfile's text which is on a website without have to download, change the text and then upload it again ... is it possible. Currently I have it so it downloads, writes, and then uploads which is annoying because it comes up with a big bar saying its uploading. You need to download, modify and upload the file again. You need a local copy that can be modified: download. The local copy is the modified, saved and uploaded again (overwrites the existing copy on the server). There is no other way to do this in a standard web server HTTP environment. You could write a web service that you give a string and position where to insert the string in an existing file... That means you need to write a web service that prov ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle : Attributes on methods

  If I have attributes assigned to a method then Sandcastle displays the attributes as part of the Syntax block. This is acceptable (and possibly a good idea). However Sandcastle is also adding extra blocks to the output for the attribute. Consider the following example code: /// <summary> /// An example method, just for demonstration purposes. /// </summary> /// <param name="parameter"> This is the description of the parameter </param> /// <returns> The input parameter will be returned, along with a friendly greeting. </returns> [ SuppressMessage ( "Microsoft.Performance" , "CA1822:MarkMembersAsStatic" )] public string SomeI ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Remembering Where you were

  Apologies if this is wrong place, or has been covered.... As a developer, I tend not to log out, because that means shutting down (typically) Outlook(2 windows typically Visual Studio (8 files open) IE (5(windows) & Firefox(2 tabs) Word (2 windows - or more if I have several emails on the go) Photoshop (with a few screen grabs in unsaved windows) Access Media player Windows explorer Our own VB apps I think any user would like to be able to reboot, and come back to all these files exactly as they were before the re-boot. This would significantly affect my working habits - encouraging me to power down at night (save energy ergo a green feature) and remember what I was doing before! I think it wou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions displaying the value of a particular database field

  First let me say that, as you might guess, I do not have much experience with Visual Basic. I have a database with 50 records (rows) and 35 fields (columns). My program calculates a value from a bunch of other input information and based on that value the correct field name is assigned to a variable. The records are bound to and listed in a combobox (that part works fine). When I select one of these records I want to assign the corresponding value, from the field that is specified by the variable, into another variable. Does that make sense and if it does - does anyone have any suggestions.   Assuming the variable is a string I don't know how you are addressing your table Dim Variable ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Access HTTP Endpoints from C# application when using Integrated security

  I hope you can help me to solve my issue. I created an endpoint and have an application to consume the methods from endpoint. Every thing work fine when i use the Impersonation with specific user id and password. In other words i am using Authrentication method = windows and Impersonate = true, user id = "[DOMAIN\userid]" password = "password" in web.config.

I want to use the In-memory pages of regsitry for that purpose Can perfmon help in any way for this Any point of thought will be of great use.

Nor could you find out what portions are being cached. Or how disk sectors map to hives and keys. You have use the API, there are no shortcuts. ...Show All

• Community Chat Virtual Intelligence, AI

  People we need to talk about this. When people talk about this, they say its based on storing and retriving information. The learning process for the computer would be to save as much information as possible from its interactions with the environment. But when I think about this, I feel its a restriction to learning. Consider this, when we are small adding two numbers 2 and 3, would be done on fingers or on a peace of paper. But when we grow up we dont use the fingers or paper. So my point is: The input(add 2 and 3) remains the same, also the output(5) remains the same. So where did the process of learning go. Thus, I would suggest that a machine should not only learn and save in information, it should also learn to proce ...Show All
