VB6 was faster.   CPU speed: 2600 MHz Memory: 1024 MB  Is there a solution for that   Thanks & Regards What do you mean by 'long time' It's possible that, even though windows appears to have finished booting up, it hasn't - it's still ...Show All

• Architecture Software architecture... I'm stuck!

  Hi all! I'm currently stuck in the design process of my next app. This is nothing new as I've been trying to get past this particular hurdle (over several projects) for the last 3-4 years without much success. Everything goes well until the end of the requirement gathering phase. I have a list of detailed , categorized requirements and I think the next logical step would be to work on the architecture of the project at a highest possible level o ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Case Studies / Samples / Justifications

  Can someone point me in the right direction to find a list of case studies and sample applications (not necessarily source code) for WWF. What I've noticed so far is that every single sample I've seen has said: "This workflow is really too small to be a justification for the use of WWF ... " What I'm looking for are justifications to use WWF, a list of applications that could greatly benefit from integration with WWF. What I've seen ...Show All

• .NET Development plain text serializer

  Hi there, Suppose I have plain text data in a csv file, sort of CT-3227,50,$280,07/12/1998,John Doe If I know that the entries are separated by commas, I can use a FileReader to scan for commas, create a String with the content and call Parse with the corresponding entry type (which is known in advance).  However, what happens if I encounter a number like 1,500 meaning "one thousand five hundred"   e.g. UInt32.Parse( "1,500" , Global ...Show All

• SQL Server SecurityFilters in Report Model

  I am having trouble creating a filter to be used as a securityfilter in the report model. I want to filter data based on the users log in ID using the GETUSERID() function. I want to create a filter that would compare this LoginID field with GETUSERID(). Using Visual Studio and the ModelTutorial (based on the AdventureWorks database), I have tried by first selecting the employee table under the model, right clicking in the attribute area and sel ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2005 help - anyone else have problems with this?

  Hi I wanted to ask what other people's opinions are about the new help in VS2005.  I recently 'upgraded' from VS6 after a very brief dalliance with VS2003 and I must say that although the help files are full of indexes, actual help seems thin on the ground.  For example, when pressing F1 after getting an error about ATL::CStringT<BaseType,StringTraits>::FindOneOf, I get told the information could not be found, either locally or o ...Show All

• SQL Server Default Web Site using wrong IP

  I just installed sql server 2005 on a windows 2003 server.  I chose the option to install but do not configure.  After restarting, I used the Reporting SErvices Configuration Manager and it all looks ok.  When I browse to //localhost/reports I get a rs page with the message of: The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request. One slightly unusual thing is SQL Server 2005 was installed as a named instance ("( ...Show All

• Visual C++ c++ compilation strategy

  Well .. this is probably not specific to C++ language. It is a more general question on the requirements of including headers, etc, and so sort of basic, of compilers. I have been looking at translation units and linking, etc. I learnt that there can't be duplicate identifiers in all of the translation units combined. If there are duplicates, it's a linking error. It can be avoided by using extern keyword for all the duplicate declarations of th ...Show All
