.NET Development How to lock up a file
I am writing some C# code which processes a set of files in a source directory and then moves the files to a destination directory. The code must be able to handle a situation in which one of the files might become locked while the files are being processed. I am not concerned at this point with how to handle the exception when a particular file is locked. What I need to know is how can I lock up the file You see, I must test my code against a file that is locked up. I tried locking up a file by selecting it, and then right clicking on the file and selecting rename. I also tried opening the file for edit. Neither of these two methods will ...Show All
Visual Basic Calling Fortran routines from Visual Basic
Hi there! I would like to know if there's some way to succesfully mix Fortran-Visual Basic codes. I've already followed some examples included in Fortran manual but had no results at all. I always get an error message that says: "cannot find insertion point in dll ". Can someone help me with this issue Thanks! A VB dll is not a common dll at all. It's entry points are available via .NET, and perhaps COM, if you create a COM object with it. There is a Fortan.NET ( very expensive ) which would solve your issue. otherwise, I'm not sure what else to suggest, unless Fortran can talk to COM. ...Show All

SQL Server Upgrade issues from RS2000 to RS2005
Is anyone aware of any upgrade issues moving from RS2000 to RS2005 My situation is that I am using RS2000 against a remote SQL Server (also 2000). The RS server is using SSL and also has Sharepoint installed and it all runs under Win2K3 server OS. Due to other issues, I am not wanting to upgrade the DB Server to 2005 at this time, just RS, to take advantage of the new features (such as the cube reporting enhancements). Should I be concerned about any particular issues Any problems continuing to house the RS db's in SQL Server 2000 Should I just be able to run the SQL CTP install on the RS server Thanks! ...Show All

SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express remote access?
I am currently using a Microsoft Access (MDB) for my application. But I am looking at allowing other users on the network access the same database -- I know a Microsoft Access database is not the best solutuon for this enviroment. I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 Express in this case. I am very fimilular with SQL Server 2000 Std/Ent editions. My question is, can I use the free SQL Server 2005 Express edition and allow remote users to connect to that database Or is it supposed to only be used as a local database accessed by only the machine it's installed on Thanks, Jason Hello, I am in a similar ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office Ability to lock worksheet
This may not be a VSTO question per-se, but in Excel, is there a way to make a sheet read-only Excel has the command to do a Protect Sheet which would be what I am looking for....hence how does one excute specific Office commands via VSTO The VSTO applications which I have created have an upload page which shows what the user will be uploading to a foreign web service. I don't rescrape the page and upload, hence any user changes would not upload. So to avoid confusion, if I could lock the page, that would imply no editing to the user. advTHANKSance Use the equivalent in VSTO to access the object model. In this case, Protect is availa ...Show All

SQL Server Reading and writing same variable to a script
It looks like its not possible to both read and write the same variable from a script using the conventional Me.Variables.<variable> syntax. I can only assign a variable as Readonly or ReadWrite and not both. If I assign it ReadOnly I can only access it in the PreExecute subroutine. If I assign it ReadWrite I can only access it in the PostExecute subroutine (in fact doesn't this just make it WriteOnly in fact ). So I can only either read in or read out a variable using this syntax, noth both. Is this right So the read and write a variable to a script, the VariableDispenser approach is the only option to use. Is this right and is ...Show All
