• SQL Server Using Unicode in SQL Server

  Hi I'm have big problems trying to save Unicode information into my MS SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine. Alright, so the problem I'm having now is I'm working with MS SQL 7.0 and PHP5. I've trying to get information to save into MS SQL, however it is storing it all weird. When I save the information and try to view it in Enterprise Manager it shows it has random characters but for some weird reason I can output that information on the page correctly when I do a SELECT query. Here's an example of my problems. < php $insQ = "INSERT INTO my_tblBusiness ( pkID, fkbusinessID, ntitle, ...Show All

• Visual Basic [vb .net 2005] sending a string through a serial port rs232

  Hi friends ! A workstation is connected, using serial port rs232, to a device. On that workstation my application, when an event (decided by user) occurs, must send a string to the device (through rs232). That's all. Should I use MSCOMM also with VB .net 2005 beta 2 or do I need to use something else If we suppose that my output port on workstation is com1 and that the string that must be sent is "order" and [enter], how should I proceed Can you show some example to me Excuse me if my questions are too simple but I have little experience with VB (and with MSCOMM in particular). Thank you in advance for any tip! Bye! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Questions about printing

  I've never written an app that I needed to use printing, and I'm a bit confused. I have a form with a bunch of controls on it (buttons, comboboxes, a picture box, and some text boxes). I want to print only the image in the picture box, and the contents of the text boxes. Is it possible to do this, or do I have to pass the contents of these controls to another form, and print out that form How would I do this Thanks in advance, smtraber Hi, look here: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/winforms/texteditor.asp  . Another way is to use a reporting tool like crystal reports. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Survey

  Hello WinForms users, My team, which owns Windows Forms, would like to gather some information about the new DataGridView control that shipped in the .NET Framework 2.0. At the high level, we would like to figure out: - which features of the grid you are using - which features you wish were available - what works well, what does not - what’s the typical size of your grid Any feedback you may have would be welcome. If time permits, you can also mark the features you use in the table below (this is not an exhaustive list, just a small subset): Dat ...Show All

• Windows Forms Toolstripmenuitem - where's the help?

  I'm a bit of a menuitem virgin. I'm using VB Express Beta 2, and the help files haven't been written yet it seems. Online searching gives lists of proerties etc., but doesn't give any detail as to what they actually do. In particular: - The drop-down menus have a beautiful graduated blue bar to the left. I prefer a "classical" text style - how do I get it - How does one add and remove items from a menu at runtime - Can one find out which position in a menu a clicked-on item is (saves having multiple handlers for similar operations) Or do I just have to check the text (which isn't much of an issue) Is there a "beginner's guide to the new c ...Show All

• Visual Basic reading text from a document and displaying it

  I have TextBox1 (to enter what you want to search), TextBox2 (to display the results), and Button1 (when you press it, it does the whole process thing). I was given this to go by: ================================================================== Theres a couple of steps in a possible approach here. One is to be able to read the contents of a file. If your using VB Express / 2005 this is possible using dim sContents as string = My.Computer.Filesystem.ReadAllText("c:\foo.txt") the next is to be able to find a match on your textbox entry you can use the instr meth ...Show All

• SQL Server Copying columns to table with different design

  I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access and adapted for full-text search which involved creating a new table with a different design. I would like to copy three columns (YearGiven, MonthGiven, DayGiven) from the Documents table to the newly-created FullDocuments table so that I can delete the Documents table and four other tables with redundant data. Here are the two tables involved in the column copy: Documents Table DocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo YearGiven MonthGiven DayGiven FullDocuments Table FullDocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Winform cold startup time in .Net 2

  Having just moved to .Net2 and Visual Studio 2005 (release version), I'm porting my WinForms app to the new environment. I'm very concerned about cold startup time for a WinForms app. It's orders of magnitude slower than in 2003. I tried NGEN'ing the app. This made it start slightly faster but still a lot slower than the non-ngen'ed 2003 app. I realize that this will improve when more apps are built using the framework, but that's years off! I'm distributing this app to users now. These users probably won't have half the hardware capacity of what I'm developing my app on (AMD64, 2Gb mem). Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to im ...Show All
