• SQL Server Dynamic Filter Not Updating Correctly

  I have several SQL Mobile devices (WM5) syncronizing with a SQL 2005 database through merge replication. We are using the HOST_NAME parameter to filter several tables. A few of these filters use a sub-query to filter the data because of the complexity of the filter (need to do more than join to one table). The subquery will use the HOST_NAME parameter. For example, I want to get a list of all users in the current user's company I need to use host_name to get the current user, find their company ID, then filter the user table on that company ID. Everything works fine until a user is removed from the table. In that case, the delete stat ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Window versus Page

  if i set my main .XAML class with a root element of <Page> rather than <Window>, I can then get a hyperlink to work in a child frame, whereas it wouldn't before. the only visible difference i can make out is that I get a toolbar at the top with a BACK/FORWARD button. i am uncertain as to the real difference between having a WINDOW or a PAGE as a root element for my application. can anybody please enlighten me as to the differences, also as to why my hyperlink only works on a child frame if the parent has a root of PAGE and not WINDOW thanks. Hi, when you use Page as startupuri, applicati ...Show All

• .NET Development Dataset serialization

  I have an issue with the Dataset serialization. I have a class, say BaseDataSet which inherits from the Dataset. More classes inherit from BaseDataSet. I would like to pass on the object inherited from the BaseDataSet back to the client via a web service. Before passing on I cast the derived object to BaseDataSet type. On the client, I am not able to down cast the dataset back to the specific class which is the type of dataset passed across. Are you applying the serializable attribute to all your descendents [ Serializable ] public class BaseDataSet : System.Data. DataSet { } [ ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixing Templates and Generics

  I think I've raised this questions a couple of times and the first time some three years ago - and have never got a real answer. Why does the language disallow mixing templates and generics. What's wrong with: template < typename T > value struct outer {   generic < typename U > void foo(); };   or generic < typename T > ref struct outer {   template < typename U > void foo(); };   And in case you wonder, yes I really wrote some code which exactly does that and I don't think it's hard to think of examples. -hg   Jeff Peil wrote: Th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Loading Notepad as a Process

  Hi, The code below is for a service that fires every 10 seconds. If it doesn't find an instance of Notepad running, it loads it up. Please note that Notepad is only for a test, the final version of the software will run a program once at 22:00. The problem I have is that Notepad isn't loading fully. I get a Notepad.exe in the task-manager, but despite setting the properties, the actual Notepad application doesn't load for user-interaction! Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong please TIA Imports System.ServiceProcess Public Class Service1 Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase Private _ProcessRunning As Boolean = False #Re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot find disassembly and memory view windows

  I am trying to debug a low-level interop-related problem in a C# program. When doing this I want to be able to look at disassembly, and also look at memory contents. These functions are available in the disassembly window and the memory windows. I can enable these windows using the keyboard combinations (Ctrl-Alt-D or Ctrl-Alt-M, 1) My question is why are these windows not available on any menu or toolbar The documentation mentions that they should be available on the Debug > Windows submenu when the debugger is stopped at a breakpoint, but they are not. I am using the RTM version of Team system developer edition of Visual Studio ...Show All

• Windows Forms Formatting a textbox for currency

  I'm stumped.  This should be the easiest thing to do in the world, and yet there is no obvious choice here.  I want a simple textbox that automatically formats itself for money with a $ and 2 numbers after the decimal.  I've tried the new maskedTextbox and am not impressed, that is really not what I'm looking for.  So far all tries at using the .ToString method, the .String.Format method have failed.  They generally just don't work.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I tried overriding a textbox and taking over the OnPaint method.   However, it appears that the OnPaint isn't used! WTF ! Why is it e ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hitting breakpoint in thread causes thread to exit

  If I create a standard C# Forms app, add a button, and inside the buttons onClick handler I put the following code: ... { // workerThread is a member of the form workerThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart( DoWork ) ); workerThread.Start(); } ... void DoWork() { while(true) { Debug.WriteLine("Hello"); // <-- put breakpoint here. It gets hit but VS hangs then thread exits. Form keeps running fine. Thread.Sleep(50); } } So long as I do not put a breakpoint in the DoWork it runs fine. If I put a breakpoint once it gets hit VS hangs for a couple of seconds then when it resumes it reports the thread has exited and the DoWo ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication performing UPDATES as INSERTS and DELETES on the subscriber

  I have transactional replication set up between two SQL Server 2000 databases. In some cases when I perform an UPDATE on a published table on the the publisher, SQL Server attempts to perform a DELETE followed by an INSERT on the subscriber using the stored procedures created during the initial snapshot. Why does it do this How can I stop it doing this and force an UPDATE on the publisher to call the UPDATE procedure on the subscriber Thanks What's happening is called a deferred update. See kb 238254 for more info. This is a by design behavior. Is this causing any problems in your scenario Are ...Show All
