• Visual C# ref parameters & memory

  Hi, I want to pass a DataTable to a function, but the table could be very large, so I want to minimise how much memory the program uses. If I understand correctly when I declare: DataTable dt = new DataTable();   dt is not the actual value (ie. the table) but is a reference to the object in memory. So if I pass dt to a function, I am already passing a reference to the object and not the object itself So is the function working on the original object in memory Or does it create a copy to work on and then return the dt reference changed to refer to the new object Lastly, how does this work with memory (in general) If I have a val ...Show All

• .NET Development dBase IV Connection Problems

  Hi, In Microsoft Access 2003 I can link to a dBase IV table and add, delete and update data with no problems. In Visual Studio 2005 (C#), I 'Add New Data Source...' but the best I can get is a very slow, read-only ODBC connection to the same dBase IV table. Can I use the same connection method that Access uses (presumably the Jet 4.0 OLE DB drivers), and if so how Many thanks in advance, Ben ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Tests and Nightly Build

  Using VSTS for Developers. I have a solution with a test project for my unit tests. When I create a new build type and select the metadata file, (".vsmdi") the "Test list to run:" list is always empty. The only mention that I can find about test list says to create them within test manager. But I do not see a test manager tool within VSTS for Developers. Does anyone have some insight into getting my unit tests to run during the nightly build Thanks You might find this post helpful... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=129079&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cannot focus on a control that has CanFocus = True

  I have a form with a groupbox and two buttons, Button1 and Button2. Button1 is focused when the form loads. If I call Button2.Focus() from a sub that handles Button1.KeyDown (Button_KeyDown), then Button2 gets the focus. No problem there. The same sub, Button_KeyDown, also handles events from a custom class I´ve built. When Button_KeyDown is fired from MyCustomO ...Show All

• SQL Server Generic staging design of data warehouse

  I have a question about staging design using SSIS. Has anyone come up with an ETL design that would read table names from a generic table and dynamically create the ETL to stage the table. 1. Have a generic table which would have table name and description and whatever else that was required. 2. Have a master ETL that would enumerate through the table and stage all the table names found in the generic table. This way I wouldn't have to create an ETL which would hardcode the names of 300-500 tables and have the appropriate 300-500 data sources and targets listed. Not sure if I am making sense but I hope someone understands the att ...Show All

• Visual Studio Where are Crystal Reports merge modules for VS2005?

  According to the Microsoft article at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms225386.aspx , the Crystal Reports merge modules for Visual Studio 2005 (32-bit version) are located in a file called CrystalReportsRedist2005_X86.msm. The article says the file can be downloaded here: http://www.businessobjects.com/products/dev_zone/net/2005.asp . But the file cannot actually be downloaded there. In fact, that file does not appear to be located anywhere on the Business Objects web site.

• SQL Server Package could not be loaded - SQL Server Agent

  I'm having an issue with executing an ssis package using SQL Server Agent.  I have 7 packages that I've got 7 separate jobs for.  I also have 7 separate stored procedures that each call the appropriate job using sp_start_job.  We are using BizTalk to execute these 7 stored procedures, which in turn start a job, which in turn will call an SSIS Package to run.  When we execute the 7 jobs spaced apart, i.e. 2 or 3 seconds apart, they all run fine.  When we BizTalk executes them all at the same time, within milliseconds of each other, sometimes they all run fine, sometimes a few of the SSIS Packages end up with the error ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication with SQL Mobile 2005

  We are using SQL 2005 (SP1) and mobile agents with SQL Mobile. We are seeing an excessive number of updates after a device's database is reinitialized. My understanding was that if I generate a new snapshot or reinitialize all subscriptions (from the server), the devices would only get what the database looks like right now (inserts only) after syncing and/or reinitializing, but they are actually getting the right number of inserts and a huge number of updates in Replication Monitor. Any ideas Thanks! Mike Update: Found a weird thing with the updates: On our test server, the number of updates, aft ...Show All

  I'm having a problem where each number generated using System.Random is the same when created in a loop. The code works fine when stepping through, or using one occurance of the GenerateRandom Function, but at full run time in the loop, results in the same value.

• SQL Server Parameter that can change

  In the sql statement underneath, the parameter @erkenning should change wether the user gave in an option or not. If the user selects 'Geen' in the combobox then there should be: erkenning IS NULL If the user selects 'something' in the combobox else then 'Geen' the statement should be: erkenning = 'Something' I've tried to implement this in the statement underneath but it's not working.
