• Smart Device Development 2019 Linker Error

  Howdy folks, I am using the embedded Visual C++ 4.0 and receive the 2019 error whenever I attempt to link my project.  I have checked Gangadhar_MSFT's blog posts on the subject.  I tried to do what was suggested and nothing seemed to work.  I'm honestly at a loss on how to fix this.  I've checked online and everything seems to be based on VS2005. I tried to include windbase_edb.h and the compiler tells me it doesn't exist.  "Fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windbase_edb.h': No such file or directory"  I cannot find a place online to download the header file. I can't figure out how to do one of the ...Show All

• .NET Development Dynamic invoking and enumerations and indexes

  Hi I've been able to dynamically create instances then invoke methods and properties of those instances using classes using the 2.0 framework. For example .. ObjectHandle objectHandle = Activator.CreateInstance("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91", "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Index", new object[] { tableInstance, "NewIndex" } ); object instance = objectHandle.Unwrap(); Type instanceType = instance.GetType(); PropertyInfo propertyInfo = indexInstanceType.GetProperty("Clustered"); propertyInfo.SetValue(instance, true, null); The above code is the same as ...

• Visual Basic Calculating Elapsed Time Based Upon Two Values

  I'm having issues coming up with a solution to what is hopefully an easy fix.  Here's my problem: I want to calculate an elapsed time from two values expressed in minutes.  I have one text box that contains a value for the "Start Time" and another text box that contains a value for the "End Time."  Both of the values are expressed in a format for military time (i.e. 1200, 1300, 1430, etc.).  When the "End Time" text box loses focus, I would like the "Elasped Time" (expressed in minutes) to appear in a third text box.  Seems easy enough...right Well the problem I'm having is since the first two numbers in m ...Show All

• Visual C# StreamReader and File Position

  I'm processing large binary files. These are PCL files, and I'm looking for page boundaries. I want to store the position of each Form Feed, which in PCL is decimal 12, hex 0C. However, that byte can also exist as part of a raster or other binary structure. So I loop through the file, and when I find a "12", I read ahead 14 bytes to compare them to a known string. If I get a match, I know the 12 was a real Form Feed, and I store it's position in an ArrayList. This works fine using a FileStream object and its ReadByte() method and .Position property. The problem is it is very slow. I'd like to use a StreamReader to take advantage of buffering ...Show All

• Visual Basic Implementing IEnumerable(of T) interface in generic collection class

  I am trying to implement the IEnumerable(Of T) interface in a generic collection class, but I can't figure out how to implement the GetEnumerator method of this interface. I have seen this done in C# using a simple foreach loop like this: public class CustomList<T> : IEnumerable<T> { private List<T> list = new List<T>(); ... #region IEnumerable<T> Members public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() { foreach (T item in list) { yield return item; } } #endregion #region IEnumerable Members System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnum ...Show All

• .NET Development any way to increase performance here?

  we're using DB tables for translated strings for app localization ... as each supported language is called for the first time, an application-level object needs to populate that language's Hashtable. The DB table and hashtable involved are expected to grow rather large ... is there anything more I can do, beyond what's below, to increase performance nocount is on, connection string is established by IP, proc returns only the necessary values ... is GetOrdinal faster than Get[Type] private void PopulateLanguageHash( ref Hashtable langHash, string cultureCodeTwoLetter) { connDB = new SqlConnection (connString); c ...Show All

• SQL Server Display Dynamic Column in the report

  Hi Friends, I need to display dynamic columns in the report. I have to show column list to the end user then he/she will select his usefull column and then I have to display the selected coumn in to the Report. other column should not be visible in the report. Any body know hot to do it Nilay You could easily set up a parameter for each column and then display that column conditionally based on the parameter. For instance, if you have a column that displays First Name, you could have a parameter called DisplayFirstName. Then in design view you'd select the whole FirstName column and in the Visibility-Hidde ...Show All

• SQL Server How to determine Count of ties in MDX?

  I need to determine the number of values in a set that are non-unique in the set. In SQL, I would do the following: select sum(value_count) as Ties from (select value, count(*) as value_count from source group by value having count(*) >1 ) In MDX, I have a set defined in a query that is passed into several custom statistical functions. I would like to be able to accomplish this without writing another external function, as it seems the sort of thing that should be easy... Here is the query I'm trying to plug this into. Suggestions welcome. with set [data] as ( nonempty ({ ...Show All
