• Visual C++ Constructor Overrides

  I've got a question on something that I'm not quite clear on.  Maybe somebody can help me! If I derrive a class from another class like so: // Plant class... class CPlant { public :    CPlant( int par_leaves):leaves(par_leaves) {};     int leaves; }; // Tulip class with different signature on constructor... class CTulip : public CPlant { public :    CTulip( bool par_hasBloomed):hasBloomed(par_hasBloomed) {};     bool hasBloomed; }; Whenever you instantiate a derrived class, the parent class constructor is called first... so when you derrive a class and write a constr ...Show All

• SQL Server ADO.NET Source Custom Properties - Documentation Wrong?

  Ok, so I've looked near and far and have found nothing but info that says data flow properties can not be changed at runtime....then I see in this in the SSIS documentation under ADO.NET Source Custom Properties: SQLCommand String The SQL statement that the ADO.NET source uses to extract data.

• SQL Server Why is this slow?

  The query is just... select name, max(date) from myTable group by name myTable had a clustered index PK, also non-clustered indexes on name and date. There are approx 1,000,000 rows and there are only 3 distinct names. This takes 10-15 secs to execute, even running directly on the server. Server trace says duration = 100, reads = 100 Profiler says CPU=20000, reads = 20000, duration = 10000 What on earth is going on ! Have you looked at the execution plan   I'm betting that your nonclustered indexes aren't even being used -- neither of them provide access to ...Show All

• SQL Server linking Oracle 9i server from Sql Server 2005

  we'd like to link an Oracle 9i database running on Unix to our sql server 2005 Business Intelligence server to import the data from the Oracle database.

• .NET Development OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery "Insert Into Select From"

  Hello, I am working with OleDb to perform a bulk insert from a temporary table to permanent database table, both of which belong to the same database. I am wanting to use "INSERT INTO <permanent_table> SELECT * FROM <temp_table>". The query I run in MS Access to perform this bulk load does process correctly, but not in code using OleDb. After properly setting up my OleDbConnection object, opening it, and properly creating my OleDbCommand object, my question is this: when I call "ExecuteNonQuery()" no rows are returned and no data shows up in the permanent table. My connection opens perfectly and the ...Show All

• Visual Basic File I/O VB6

  I am not sure what the best way of saving/loading data in my program. I am taking data in from the user and storing it into and array. To save I am just simply printing the array contents to a text file. This all works fine, but I am not sure how I open the file and parse the file to have the .txt file contents read back into their respective array positions. eg. If I print #1, array(1), array(2) be "1" "2" repectively, I want to open the form and file and have array(1) contain 1 and array(2) contain 2. I have seen the split() funtion, but am not sure if this is the right thing. In other languages I have simply used a file pointer and parsed ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Set check-in policy on folder level

  Hi, I'm currently trying to figure out how to structure our release and dev-branshes in the best way. I think it will be something like this AppName Release Branch FeatureX FeatureY Tools Alot of the forum and blog posts I have read recomends a structure similar to this, and with that in mind I find it a bit confusing not beeing able to set check-in policys on a folder level. A small test app in the Tools folder does not need the same check-in policy as the Release branch. Is it possible to get this feature in TFS v2 . Perhaps. Our usual recommendation is to add code to your checkin p ...Show All
