• Visual Studio Team System Check-in policy results in high use of shelving

  Check-in policies are a great idea. The result is that we need to find an alternative method for backup up developer's work, since they will no longer be able to check-in periodically throughout a day. Shelving appears to be the best option. However, shelving requires creating a shelveset name, and results in multiple versions of files if done daily or even more frequently. Shelved projects can be deleted and a naming convention developed, but ...Show All

• SQL Server Week Ending Calculation

  Is there an easy way to calculate the end of the week. In my database I have orders and the user wants to see the orders for each week. So it would have to be something like "Week Ending 03/12'. The problem is they want to end the week on Sunday and not Saturday as SQL likes to. So when the weekday function is used it automatically changes the week ending and the day is off. I tried using the Datefirst function but still the week ending is ...Show All

• Visual C++ Efficient initialization of stringstream

  Does anyone know of a way can accomplish the following without memory copies   I am dealing with character arrays that can easily exceed 1MB. std::stringstream* GetStringStream( const char * input, size_t length ) {   return new std::stringstream( input ); } Note that a temporary string object converts const char* to std::string, and this is where the copy occurs.  Although my version doesn't use it, I do know ...Show All

What that means is my app will connect to a pre-configured url, check for newer version and if there is one, download new assemblies from the server to replace the old ones. But because the old assemblies have been NGEN'ed at installation, what wil ...Show All
