• Smart Device Development Blank IO Exception

  Hi. I'm trying to write to a serial, COM, port on the mobile device. using .NET 2.0 here and WM2005. After months of trying to find out, I found out a couple of ways of doing so. Yesterday I tried the serialport class, unfortunatly when it writes to the serial port, it gives me a blank IOException - no idea why. The COM port is 3 and is enabled in the system settings by default. Next step was to go low level stuff - so I imported ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• SQL Server DBO Thing Doesn't Appear by Table Name

  Hi, we are trying to simply import an existing MS Access 2003 table to MS SQL.  I've gone through the export routine (the "upsizing" wizard in Access), but my Coldfusion app does not recognize the resultant MS SQL table as a real database object.  It doesn't even include DBO next to the table name like all the other "real" tables that were made directly from within MS SQL.  Is there something else I'm supposed to do   Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy databases

  We are using AS 2005 and Excel 2003 as the client front end. I have one particular view built in an Excel Pivottable that takes about 10 minutes to return results. I was pretty sure that the aggregations should support a quicker response so I used XMLA on the server to look at the Sessions whilst the query was running. Using this I grabbed the MDX and ran it interactively to see if I could figure the problem .... it returned in 1 seco ...Show All
