• Visual Basic Programming Challenge since u re great guy

  For this challenge, you'll need to write an algorithm to find your way from one corner of a field to another as fast as possible. You will be given a starting point and an ending point, and you'll need to tell us how long it will take you to get from start to finish. The field is a grid, and you can only move up, down, left and right. Each move of one grid square takes 1 second. Unfortunately, there's also walls in the way.....the rest is here: http://www.scm.ca/programmingchallenge/maze.htm No No I m not joking That s a question some body received before a job interview, I m not sure about the difficulty of the problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Invalid security token after approx 15 minutes of inactivity

  We have a WinForms application that is communicating with a series of WCF Services that are being hosted in IIS using the wsHttpBinding (with default settings, such as Windows Auth). If we leave our application sitting idle for approx 15 minutes we receive an exception about having an invalid security token. If within the debugger we make the service call happen a second time directly after the call that causes the exception the service call works as expected. Any ideas Thanks, Steve Hi Steve, Are you caching the channel proxy for the service . The Binding WsHttpBinding uses secure conversation by def ...Show All

• SQL Server loop for insert into

  Hello, I have 10 tables (T1Orj,T2Orj,…T10Orj) and I need to find modified rows from each table and insert them to T1Bak, T2Bak, …T10Bak. Although original and bak tables have the common fields , the original tables have more fields than bak tables, and T1Orj, T2Orj, … T10Orj tables have different table structures. I can go head and write a insert into query for each table, I am just wondering Is there any way I can do this in a loop for all tables You can use EXEC to ececute a dynamically constructed SQL statement that would run your query on every table from a list. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Button Image and Text with OVERLAY puts text BEHIND image

  Maybe I am missing something. I came up with a nice button image graphic, and selected IMAGE and TEXT, and to OVERLAY, and the image COVERED the text. The opposite would in general seem more useful to me. Why would you ever want to have text overlayed that you could never see I tried using background, but of course you can not declare a transparent color, and also it eliminates the image when you mouse over the button. Regardless, is there any way to get my text in front of the image on the button I appreciate the confirmation. Sometimes it just helps to know where things are. FYI: (a) i tried - it is visually different, and doe ...Show All

• Visual C++ compiling mixed mode DLL always recreates the DLL's .lib file

  Hi all I have a project that has both a completely native (non .NET) DLL (call it A) and a mixed mode DLL (call it B). DLL B has an unmanaged interface so that DLL A can consume functions from it. This means that DLL B can take advantage of .NET but DLL A can still use it. The problem is that when I compile DLL B it always recreates the .lib file. It doesn't matter if I'm changing the unmanaged interface at all, it will still recreate it. That means that DLL A thinks it needs to relink itself. Now recompiling DLL B is quite quick but DLL A is a different story. It means that a single line change has turned into a 5 minute ordeal It is ...Show All

  I can’t find out how to put SQL 2000 templates that I’ve already created into SQL 2005, en masse. I don’t want to put them in one at a time. I’ve got 40 or 50 of them.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How display a help box when mouse hovers?

  Hi all, I'm making a little program and I wanted to add a small feature. When you hover over buttons, or other various objects, after a few seconds a yellow text box opens up that tells what that object is. For example, if you hover and keep it still over the forward/back/reload buttons on your web browser it tells you what they do. What is this called in c# Thanks all, Tim That is called a ToolTip.  You would add one to your form in the designer, which will add a new pseudo--property to each control named "ToolTip on <ToolTip Name>".  Whatever text you assign to that property will be displ ...Show All
