• .NET Development ADO and Role Base

  Hello, I have this question: We know that Enterprise Services (ES) offers secure model i.e. Role Based Security (at a cost of  added comlexity) But can one achieve this purely using ADO.NET based model If no, how can I simulate the Role Based Security if we dont want to go the ES route Thanks Thank you SvenC, that was very helpful. I am well aware of the difference between ES amd ADO. The short answer from what you said is the ADO.NET namespace is not shipped with role-security. I guess to achieve similar functionality, i will either have to implement is in-code or rely on the DB/windows groups. Thanks ...Show All

• Smart Device Development URLDownloadToCacheFile strange blocking behavior on Pocket IE

  I'm working on an ActiveX control for Pocket Internet Explorer. I'm using the URLDownloadToCacheFile() function to dowload external resources to the ActiveX control. My problem: The function seems to block until the container (Pocket IE) triggers a redraw. This means that my control is stuck until I e.g. use the scrollbars and scroll the HTML page up or down a bit... After that, everything is fine and my resources are loaded into the cache. Any hints why the function blocks and what I can do to prevent it Thanks in advance, Ray This is a stretch but I had a problem whose symptoms were similar even though ...Show All

• Visual C++ OK, What is with the statements enclosed inside [] operator regarding threading?

  I keep looking around to try and figure this out. I keep seeing code with something like [STAThread] on a line by itself. Now, I have figured out that it sets the type of apartmenting you can do. And you seem to use it like the using namespace statements to define if you are going to hae a sta or a mta, but where in the world does the syntax for this statement come from   Is this strictly a COM feature in which it overloaded the [] operator Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss some new language element that I may need. Also, I seem to have gathered that you only need to mark things as STA or MTA usi ...Show All

• Visual C++ performance VC++ 2005 vs. VC++ 2003

  The code below runs in 17 seconds on my machine when compiled under Release mode on VC++ 2005 and in 13 seconds on VC++ 2003. This is an extract of the code so don't worry it does not make much sense. First I though it was because of checked iterators but it does not make a difference if I use #define _SECURE_SCL 0 or not. What else could it be Thanks, Bumbrlik -------------------------- // #define _SECURE_SCL 0 #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <vector> #include <string> #include <time.h> using namespace std ; string ReadString(istre ...Show All

I don't understand why it reads the network drive file when I am in visual studio environment but not with the .exe file. Can anyone give me a hand on thi ...Show All
