• Visual Studio Express Editions Drop Down List in a Details View Update

  Hi I am new to asp.net and visual web developer and was wondering if somebody could give me some help. I have a details view with an update and insert facility.

• Visual C++ Bitmap -> blob

  I have an object of type Bitmap that I'd like to save in an SQL server (type blob), and then retrieve it. I can find a few examples of how to do this using MFC, but I'm not using MFC. :) I can't find anything in the documentation about this. Ok, I guess you have a handle (HBITMAP) with your image so the next step is make a call to GetDIBits to obtain raw bytes. Here is some code I extracted and prepared for you! void SendBitmapToSQLServer(HDC hDC, HBITMAP hBmp) { BITMAP bmp; LPBYTE lpBits; // memory pointer PBITMAPINFO pbmi; WORD cClrBits; // Retrieve the bitmap color format, ...Show All
