• .NET Development COM and CLR

  Hi all, I read that COM is having contract specification and implementation in binary format and CLR has contract specification in the form of Metadata and Implementation as IL. What are the disadvantages of COM having things in binary format Thanks, Suresh. Your definitions of COM and CLR are reasonable but the issues with COM do not necessarily derive from how they are specified. COM promi ...Show All

• SQL Server Anybody played with SmoBrowser example within smo?

  I was looking at the smo examples that come with sql server 2005/VS 2005 and I have found quite interesting how it was neat and easy to load everthing in a treeview using reflection. I come to my question: I would like to load a treeview control that I could reuse in the same way but depending on the needs i would like only to load certain stuff not all of them. EG (Not all objects but just DatabaseCollection,TableCollection) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can't update data table from DataGridView

  This should be simple. I haven't touched a control or written a line of code. In a new project I add a DataSource of an Access 2002 table. I drag the table to the form, which automatically generates a TableAdapter, BindingSource, and BindingNavigator for the new DataGridView control. When I change a row and press the save button, I get the following error. {"Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with mod ...Show All

• Visual Basic Insert into db

  My problem is this. I have an insert statement and I create a sqlcommand object and executeScalar() to run the statement.

• Smart Device Development deployment

  Hi there. I am using cabwizsp (VS.NET 2003) to deploy project cab file for SPV's (ARM devices) I have noticed that not all the cab files will install/run on any MDA/PDA device because of the proc. Currently by default it works for ARM procs (v4). I noticed that there is a switch to specify what CPU type you wish to deploy the files to - I need to create a cab file for the t-mobile MDA platforms. I think it is an intel XScaler proc.

• Visual Basic Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: ...Show All

• Visual C++ CEditView and OnChar

  Hello, everyone. I have a noob's question about using the OnChar function with CEditView. What I'm trying to do at the moment is develop a rudimentary console for a calculator program I'm working on. After every key return, it would display ">>" in a new line (think of something like the python IDLE). However, I have been able to find no function which displays text in CEditView. The following is my attempt at code to accept ke ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Tracking arguments from locals

  Hello. I've been doing some work with analysing what locals are passed as arguments to methods. I'm finding it difficult to track an argument back to a local. I seem to have narrowed it down to analysing the statements in a method body during VisitMethod() as VisitMethodCall() is completely disconnected from the types used as arguments, or can be; making it unreliable. My problem is, I can't seem to correlate a particular named local to ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower. The Application does a great deal of floating point and integer calculations.  It also converts doubles to int quite a bit (the VC2003 version used SSE to handle this). The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch ...Show All
