• Windows Forms AllowScriptAccess stops loading?

  Hi, We've written a Windows Control Library in C# .NET containing the Flash 8 player. We are trying to use the Flash 8 External Interface to talk to the .NET control in a webpage. Now when run from the debugging tool (i.e. no security) everything works fine, but when actually hosted in a webpage it fails to work. I'm positive this is due to the AllowScriptAccess property being set as default to "never" however when seeting this to alwa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New test project type

  Is it possible to create a new test project type with Sept CTP If yes, where can I find information Thanks, Pierre Yes, this is possible.

Catching an ArgumentException with a null ParamName is close to useless with no specific means of ensuring the Message property has useful content. Peter, This is a good suggestion, however, we need to be careful to not int ...Show All

• Visual C# StringBuilder.Length adds null character not space.

  According to the Class Library Documentation, the StringBuilder.Length property will do the following... "...If the specified length is greater than the current length, the end of the string value of this instance is padded with spaces ...." When I try this it is padded with a null character "\0". So then I have to do a sb.Replace('\0', ' '). Is this correct and common knowledge What fundamental thing am I missing ...Show All

• SQL Server Import variable fixed length file

  I have a requirement to import a file of rows containing fixed length data. The problem is that each row can be one of 5 different formats (i.e. different columns) -- where the "type" of row is indicated by the first two characters of the row. Each row gets inserted into its own table. Could I use a simple Conditional Split to route the rows Or is the split for routing similiar rows Anyways, problems are never this simple...
