• SQL Server Issue Loading Data from Flat File

  I have come across a strange bug that I can't get to the bottom of. I have a source Excel spreadsheet with approx 30000 rows in it, I have saved this out using Excel 2003 as a csv file which contains all of the source rows. Using a Flat File Source I am only getting approx 15000 rows through, I have re-saved the spreadsheet as csv and it stops at exactly the same point.  However, if I use the excel spreadsheet as the source I get all 30000 rows. I have checked the CSV at the relevant point and can see no reason why it would stop at that particular point. I am experiencing a similar problem with another source file handled in e ...Show All

• .NET Development Datasets aren't finalized after leaving the scope

  Hi, we discovered a strange behaviour concerning garbage collection of datasets. Because our application needs a tremendous amount of memory and constantly allocates more and more of it we are counting the instances of our objects in memory. Thus we able to determinate if an object is finalized by the garbage collection. Basically most of our objects contain these code snippets in the "new" and "finalize" methods: Public Sub New ()     MyBase . New ()    TestClass.SharedCounter += 1       'Shared variable of integer End Sub Protected Overrides Sub Fina ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble with Iif!

  Hi! My report has a multi-value parameter used to select the elements to put in the "group by" clause of the query. The report must show only the columns selected in this parameter. As I haven't found any better way to do it (I tried to use an expression to hide/show the column, but this would let the report with a "gap" when the columns selected were the first and the third, for example), I created four tables (one for each possible size of the multi-value parameter), and I'm showing/hiding them based on the size of the parameter. I didn't have any problems to choose the rigth parameter value to show in a column tit ...Show All

• Visual C# Alternative to Global Variable

  I am working on a database application that will operate in two modes. "Server" mode when it is connected to the network, and "Local" mode when it is not. I already have a function that determines if the PC is connected, but I am unsure of where to store the results of this function. My instinct is to store it in a global variable (field)... however from what I read on C#, the use of global variables is not recommended because it breaks encapsulation. So what is the best practice of storing the result where I can access it throughout the application Thanks in advance. You can use t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Q: What is the modules

  hi, i'm new and i want to know what is hte differece between classes and modules , and when to use modules, thx Hi shak, The purpose of a module is to contain subroutines or Functions and to declare Variables or Arrays with the Public Command.  Modules have no visible properties and have no events because they have no controls.  Subs within the module are made available to your entire program (global) as opposed to local to a partuclar form or even more local to a particular procedure. The 'Visual Baic 2005 Express Edition for Dummies by Richard Mansfield is a great book for beginners.  It had most of th ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I get a new ModelElement's corresponding Shape?

  Hi, [Background] I'm working on a DSL called XmlBusinessObjects that functions similar to the strongly typed DataSet designer (i.e. it displays tables with fields and relationships between them) and generates code for a very specialized data access layer. I also want the DSL to be able to work with the Server Explorer so new tables can just be dropped onto the diagram, like with the DataSet designer. From exploring the modeling assemblies provided with the DSL tools, I've found that the "design surface" is the DiagramClientView control. Although you appear to have additional Drag/Drop support built on top of the diagramming archit ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can and how do I extend an array of objects during run time?

  Hi, I created an array of objects, based on a class I created to hold data only, at the start of my program. During the run time, I may need to add an unknown number of additional objects to new data. Can I do this How can I increase an array of objects during run timge, one at a time as the need arises For exmaple: myClass aryObjects[10]; .............. How do I add to the aryObjects and make it a aryObjects[11] Thanks. Have you thought of using a linked list instead. That is to have the object contain a pointer to the next object that gets created at run time. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All
