The way this is, I have to know C#, SQL for triggers and stored procedures, and LINQ for the in-code queries.  I don't see how this is going to make my life any easier. > .... why then has VB decid ...Show All

• SQL Server MAX doesn't apply for concatenated variables?

  If I load up a local variable defined as varchar(MAX) with a 10,000-character continuous string, i.e. '123456789.....100000' the variable retains the full value as expected. However, if I break that string up into '123456789....5000' + '5001...10000', the variable is truncated at 8000 characters. Is there a way around this Thanks. This has to do with type conversion.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another way than WH_CALLWNDPROC

  If I'm using a VC++ DLL to create a tray icon for an external application, not my own nor connected to my DLL. Is there any other way to detect mouse clicks on that tray icon other than a global hook for WH_CALLWNDPROC I've read that a global WH_CALLWNDPROC hook can be a serious drain on system resources so if at all possible I'd prefer not to use it. If it's the only way to catch the messages I want under these circumstances then I'll do it, b ...Show All
