• SQL Server Database group

  In sql server 2005 you have a group of databases called System Databases - Is it possible to create your own database group Best regards, Jakobsgaard This seems like a tease. Is this in grouping the works I am coming from an Oracle perspective where the world revolves around Schemas and Tablespaces. The Database group makes sense to me. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ Complier error C2666

  I am porting an app from VC6.0. The VC++ 2005 compiler doesn't seem able to disambiguate between the following overloads (I've shown an explicit cast at the call site for emphasis): class Y { public : void foo( bool b) const { return ;}; void foo( double v) { return ;}; }; int _tmain( int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { Y y; bool b = true; y.foo(( bool )b ); return 0; } However, if I remove the const from the first method it appears to work correctly. Does anyone know an explanation for this Is there a way round this as I'd like to avoid having to change the function signature by remo ...Show All

• SQL Server Excel functions in calculated measures or queries

  We used the Excel function FINV() in a calculated measure in Analysis Services 2000. Supporting these Excel functions seeems to be default in Analysis Services 2005, because the ExcelMDX assembly is included in the general assemblies (although there is set no source in the assembly properties). However, it is not possible to use any Excel function in an query or a calculated measure.    Does anybody know which assembly is included and how can i get the excel functions included ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows CE Remote Performance Monitor Crash

  I am working on CF 1.0 and trying to find a memory leak on my application. I am using Windows CE Remote Performance Monitor. When I select to monitor only "Memory Load", it works fine. But when I try to watch "CE Process Statistics" with an instance of my application, it halts not only itself but also the application running on the device. Is there any strategy I could get over with it, or any tool that can help to diagnose the problematic section (PDA runs with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition) I am afraid that this code (Remote Perfmon) isn't being actively supported at this time and hasn't been changed in years. It is due for a r ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. L-Thumb X-axis not working on controllers

  The FEB 2006 SDK controller is returning wrong values for Right Thumb X axis on Windows. The values are mapped to z-axis!. I am seening this for all types of controllers, except for XBOX360 controllers. The joystick sample from SDK shows this issue.

• .NET Development File Size via FTP

  Is there a preferred way to obtain the size of a file stored on an FTP server using the 2.0 Framework The best I've come up with is to contact the FTP server via an FtpWebRequest object, with its .Method property set to W ebRequestMethods.Ftp. GetFileSize. This causes the size to be returned in the FtpWebResponse object's StatusDescription property.  But its preceded by the Status Code value, so I have to parse the StatusDescription to obtain the file size.  That's no big deal.  But oddly, the FtpWebResponse object has properties that return the parsed value of replies such as the file's date of last mod ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista Beta 2 (5384)?

  Does anyone know how to get around the MDAC check in the Service Pack 5 setup of Visual Studio 6.0 For some reason it doesn't detect MDAC 2.5 or higher which it requires (even though Vista obviously has a later version - 6.0) and the setup will not continue from that point. I've tried every registry key I could think of to trick it into thinking MDAC is installed. Thanks Ted. Totally untrue - the support on Vista has been committed to by Microsoft until March of 2008  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx I know for a fact that it runs perfectly on Vista as I have run i ...Show All

• Visual C# strings - determining if a string has more than one word?

  Hi all, I have a need where I am required to determine whether a string contains more than one word. If the string contains one word I don't want to do anything, but if it conatians more than one word, I need to do something. Whats the best way for me to tackle this Thanks Tryst Tryst, Unless you are looking for something more sophisticated (e.g. making sure your words are meaningful matching them against some dictionary), you could proceed as follows: since a word is a sequence of characters, separated from subsequent words by spaces and other separators, you need to: 1) make sure there are no extra separators, at the head or t ...Show All
