• Visual Studio Generate documentation under .Net 2.0?

  I really need to generate some documentation under .Net 2.0. I know that this issue has been raised in a previous post few month ago, but no explicit solution has been provided. Also the NDoc project seems dead (as suggest the broken wiki). Does anyone has a practical (even minimal) solution to generate documentation for .Net 2.0 Thanks in advance, Joannes Hi Joannes, There is an option to create an XML file based on the comments entered. You probably can generate that and apply an XSL to that to get an HTML appearance to the XML. Regards, Vikram ...Show All

• Visual Basic Windows Control Library Issues

  I am developing my first windows control library. It is fairly simple and just opens a serial port and when data comes in raises an event with the data. It seems to work ok but I cannot find how to make the control appear in the bottom bar when it is added to a from (similar to the timer control) it always appears on the form. Can someone point me in the right direction Thanks I tried to replace Inherits System.Windows.Control.UserControl with Inherits System.Windows.Control.Component but this is not defined! ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Summary Reports

  I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this, but it seemed to be the best place to start. I have been trying to manage my SQL 2000 Databases using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It works well for most everything. The problem is, however, that there is no equivalent to the SQL 2000 Taskpad View in SQL Server Management Sudio. In the Summary screen when connected to a 2000 Database the Reports button is disabled. If I restore a 2000 Database into a 2005 DBE then I get the message that the compatibilty Mode is 80 and I must set it to 90 to get this report. I could switch this to a 90 compatibility mode, but I don't think ...Show All

• Architecture General business object requirements

  For those of you who have worked on medium to large sized projects, or anyone who has an opinion , I would like to know what types of logic an application needs in the business layer. If the objects expose properties and collections, is a simple validation on write all that's needed I guess the objects also have methods that do various things. If anyone feels like offering any insight into the kinds of things their business objects do besides store bits of information that would be greatly appreciated. I'd also like to know what types of exceptions are generally thrown when persisting to a database. What about errors in the middle of bat ...Show All

• SQL Server Hierarchy

  Hi to All! Is there a perfect method to implement a hierarchy structure with different types as a table in Sql server 2005 Currently I am thinking of this way: [Node | ParentId | ParentType | ChildId | ChildType] But there is this nagging little voice saying it can be better Cheers! Nele Can you share some additional information   What do the "types" represent   Most of the time when I see the need for typing, it means that a table for that type should be created, and through key relationships this forms a natural hierarchy.  In your s ...Show All

• Visual C# Byte Array

  does anyone know how to empty an array what i mean by that is clear it so that it has no values. i know Array.Clear is supposed to do this but i cant get that option with a Byte Array Hi Do you mean emptying as in removing all items coz the initialize method only initializes every item in an array (not removing them)... But if you want to really remove all items then you'll have to redeclare it: byte[] myByte = new byte[30]; Console.WriteLine(myByte.Length.ToString()); myByte = new byte[]{}; Console.WriteLine(myByte.Length.ToString());   cheers, Paul June A.

• SQL Server Adding datetime fields

  Hi I'm learning SQL, stuck on a problem, and would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction please. I have a table that contains employee overtime data.  The table contains the employee ID number, the work week ID, basic hours, and overtime hours worked. What i want to do is SUM(OThrs) for a particular employee to get the total OT hours worked in a given workweek. However, as I understand it the datetime datatype stores its value as a value measured from a base date of Dec-30-1899.  As it wouldn't make sense to add the datetime fields due to this, is there any way around it   The OThrs is brought in f ...Show All

• Visual C++ Programs freeze when starting, IDE crashes.

  Hi all, I've been having alot of problems with the IDE.  The most annoying one, is i go to debug a project, (or build & run), and the IDE will compile, but then doesn't run the project.  It looks like it should be going (IE, stop button available), but nothing shows up.  I have to stop it, and start it again. 2nd, when working with some of my larger projects (50,000 lines +), i notice that the IDE itseld will just freeze, then i get a bug report.  And that almost seems random, but still happens once a day or so. I've done full re-installs, and tried on other computers, and have the same issue.  Anyone else h ...Show All

• SQL Server Programmatically create data sources

  Is there a way to do this It does not appear as part of the standard SSIS API. Thanks. The DataSource and DataSourceCollection are part of the SSAS API with the latter having Add and AddNew methods. Not quite sure how to get the project context to create them, but never looked either. They are the same data sources in SSIS and SSAS projects, just do a View Code on them for each project, they are the same XSD etc. ...Show All

• Visual C# Storing Two Data Types in a List

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to add two types of data to a list object. For example, let's say I want to add a Node object and a String object: private static List< Node , String > nodeList = new List< Node , String >(); The above code returns an error. What is the best way to handle a situation where two data types need to exist as the contents of a list Thanks!
