• Visual C++ ftp question

  I am trying to write a simple method to download a few files from an ftp server but can't seem to figure out how exactly to use the FtpWebRequest Class or find any decent tutorial.

• Visual Studio Get pinned version of VSS through automation

  I have a script that searches through a release branch of our software, and detects the difference from the branch to the common dev dir (diff on all files) so i get the file... try to figure out the pinned version to diff it with the one in the other directory. There the problem starts. I cant figure out the pinned version. There is a MSDN KB article, but they say that the Action of the version starts with "Pinned" or "Unpinned".. this does not fit to our situation here. Those texts never appear in the Version.Action . Can someone help VSS 6.0d (Build 31222) thx for your responses. however, i just wanted a better overview what change ...Show All

• Windows Forms Alternative for the datetimepicker?

  Does anybody know a good alternative for this control My problem is that i want to use it to allow a user to input a time (for example 0days 10h 3minutes and 6 seconds) but i have some problems - You can't specify a "max value" starting from zero, it has to be done relative to the minimun date (this is not really a problem but it's a bit of extra code) - It is impossible to set days to zero (because it wants a day of a month) And this is a problem cause it limits the use of the datetimepicke for my purpose to 24 hours or more than 24 hours (you can't use is from 0d 0h 0m 0s to 2d) So why do i want to use it   It looks nice and cl ...Show All

• Visual C++ ON_WM_NCHITTEST definition incorrect

  In the VS 2005 doc page "MFC Library Reference WM_ Message Handlers: N - O", we have ON_WM_NCHITTEST( ) afx_msg UINT OnNcHitTest ( CPoint ); However, in afxmsg_.h, the definition is #define ON_WM_NCHITTEST() \ { WM_NCHITTEST, 0, 0, 0, AfxSig_l_p, \ (AFX_PMSG)(AFX_PMSGW) \ ( static_cast < LRESULT (AFX_MSG_CALL CWnd::*)(CPoint) > (&ThisClass :: OnNcHitTest)) }, The difference is the result in one case is UINT, and in the other LRESULT. So the compiler demands LRESULT, but the actual member function returns UINT, making it impossible to write correct code. ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrading mirrored databases

  I am in the process of architecting SQL 2005 HA options and of course mirroring is at the top of the list. Does anybody know what the requirements are regarding upgrading mirrored databases, for example, applying hotfixes and service packs Is it a requirement for the principal and mirror (and witness if applicable) to be at the same build level Is there any requirement to upgrade one first and then the other as there is with replication topologies I had a look in BOL but can't find anything covering this (perhaps I missed it).

• SQL Server Converting a type into another one

  Hello, I've got two tables. An old one an a new one. Called "tbl_Filme" and "tbl_Filme2". The differents are that the data types are a little bit smaller as in the old one. So I've got a column wich should contains a datetime. Unfortunattley the datatype is just a normal date and not "smalldatetime" (the "tbl_Filme" was created with MS Access 2003). So I get an error message: 1> INSERT INTO tbl_Filme2 (Titel, Genre, Medium, Anzahl, Qualitat, Filmlange) 2> SELECT Titel, Genre, Medium, Anzahl, Qualitat, Filmlange 3> FROM tbl_Filme 4> go Meldung '298', Ebene '16', Status '1', Server ' ...Show All
