• Visual J# Maybe stupid question but: How to get float out of System.Single?

  What is the method to extract value from System.Single to standard float variable (defined float x = ) when using J# This sounds so trivial that I must have overlooked something when I did not find the way I have to use System.Single when I'm communicating with certain COM controls. This question is better suited for the J# forum. Please reserve the Base Class Library forum for questions related to the BCL itself. I'm moving the thread to the J# forum. In answer to your question Lucian is correct that a float and System.Single are the same type. However in J# there is not a direct conversion between S ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can I debug from a web project in a class library

• SQL Server Measuring throughput

  After doing some work today on pushing a large chunk of data through the pipeline it occurred to me that it would be great to be able to measure throughput (rows/time). Namely, in 2 places: 1. Throughput of a data-flow   (admittedly this is available via a calculation using a rowcount component and the System::ContainerStartTime variable that I know is coming soon) 2. Throughput of a data-flow component #2 would be invaluable for finding bottlenecks in a data-flow which is really what I could have done with today. My idea for how to accomplish this would be to fire an OnInformation event containing the information on completion of ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I check connection to IP address and valid permissions for writing to directory?

  Hi.  I have a service that moves files from one location to another across a network. I am trying to add a utility that will check the connection to the various machines and check if the service can write to the folder the user is requesting - prior to actually trying to move the file.  Right now I do not know if the connection is valid nor the permissions for the directory until I try the move/copy of the file to the destination.  Then when it fails I alert the user.  Is there a way that I can check this before hand (without writing an extensive library :-) ) Thank you.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

• Windows Forms Making a window the background

  I have a main window that is maximised and I want it to be  the background, so that other open windows of the application remain in view even when the menu in the main window is used. There seems to be no BottomMost property for windows. If I set the TopMost property of the main window to false and set the same property of other windows to true, the main window will remain in the background. But Message Boxes and predefined Dialog Boxes seem to have no TopMost property, even though they are forms, and because they are modal and can get hidden behind TopMost windows, the application can get strangled. I would have thought that a ...Show All
