• Visual C++ Full duplex serial port

  Hi all. What I have a problem with is writing a code that continuously listens for incoming data but at the same time being able to send data. When I wait for an event either rxchar or hardware handshaking event I can not send at the same time. Is this somehow possible Or is there some way to kill the wait for event so that I can send data and then go back to wait Now I have to Poll the serialport with a timer and use a mutex so that the send and receive does not collide. Is there really no easy way to make an interrupt driven serial port application Polling is just ugly J Many thanks in advance. /Tobias ...Show All

• SQL Server Deployment 'utility' script using sqlcmd

  Hi all, I'm looking at creating a sample utility script that will invoking scripts to deploy some SQL code. For example, a utlity script that will run a SQL script, and on successful completion, execute the next script.

The following code invokes a script, but I'm trying to find a way of getting a return code back from sqlcmd, so I can progress and do the next, or fail if the return code <> 0 (success).

• .NET Development .NET 1.1 process.kill?

  Hi. in .NET 1.1, I can create a process: Process someProcess = new Process(); someProcess.StartInfo.FileName = this .someTextBox.Text; someProcess.Start();   However, if i wish to kill that process, I have tried using: someProcess.Kill(); //AND: someProcess.Close();     however both of the processes to close/kill results in an exception: "No process is associated with this object"   Now that is quite understandable BUT how can I make an object of a proper "program/application" which the process can be killed from The user basically can type in a url/some Windows app name ( ...Show All

• SQL Server View with SELECT * doesn't pickup new columns in table

  Hi I have noticed that when adding a new column to a table that is used in a view with the following tsql: CREATE VIEW [dbo] . [vwPersons] AS SELECT tb1 .* FROM tb1 LEFT OUTER JOIN tb2 ON tb2 . PersonID = tb1 . PersonID the new column is not shown in the following tsql: SELECT * FROM vwPersons In addition to this, when modifying a view in Management Studio, all columns will be returned when the view is opened in the view editor, thus effectively removing: SELECT tb1 .* and replacing it with: SELECT dbo.tb1 .PersonID, dbo.tb1 .PersonName FROM etc... When dropping and recreating the ...Show All

• Architecture Delivering Agile Business Process & Integration Solutions Session

  Hi, I will be co-presenting a session on the second day under solutions titled: " Delivering Agile Business Process & Integration Solutions ". This session will cover architecting and implementing Business Process and Integrations solutions (BPI) the Agile Way. We believe that a traditional waterfall process often demands unrealistic skills and accuracy that inevitably leads to the architecture either being invalid or out of date even before development starts. An Agile approach to implementation of Business Process and Integration (BPI) solutions provides a far more realistic framework for solution delivery. This sessi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 SCC Bug: Get latest does not work.

  If I delete a folder on the disk and then goes to SCC Explorer and do a "Get Latest" it tells me that "All files are up to date".... even though they are non-existing on my local disk. This makes it difficult for me to trust the SCC, because it is totally wrong on what are on my disk, and when I am rebuilding the system I have no guarantee that it is in fact a "latest build". However if I checkout and undo pending checkouts it fetches all the directories and files. Is this a known bug Thanks. /borge3000 The reason we do this is that it allows the system to compute what you need very quickly even when you hav ...Show All

• Visual C++ Pass 2D String Array By Reference

  Attn C++ Jedi Masters, I've done lots of web searching on this topic, so it's time to plea for help.  :) I'll use pseudo-code and fictitious examples herein for brevity and clarity. In function f1, I build a 2 dimensional (2D) array of strings, called array1 (not const char* elements, but rather elements of the string class).  The size of each dimension is not known at compile time.  At the end of f1, I assign array1's first element's address to a string pointer so that I can work with the array later through the pointer (I need to be able to pass the array between functions): string* f1() {    ... &nb ...Show All
