• Visual C# What is the fastest way to read and write data?

  To write and read a hundred sets of 1000 numbers, which way is the fastest way: - Binary file - XML file - Text file - ArrayList (run out of memory ) - Database Table Thanks Sorry for the uncleared question. Suppose I'm trying to get an optimal set of solution by doing the iteration for 100 times, so I have 100 sets of data. I'd like to be able to keep all data and then sort a number of each set to find which set is the best one. I don't need to show all of data, but just the best set of data, to the user. I'm not sure which way I should store all the data because obviously I'm dealing with a lot of DOU ...Show All

• SQL Server Query notification from Win32

  I would like to take advantage of the Query Notification facilities in an existing Win32 application that uses ODBC to access a variety of MSSQL servers.  Is there any way to use this feature from a non-.NET application   I would prefer to use ODBC to access this feature , but if that is not possible, then any way will do.  I know I can probably create a .NET process and synchronise the Win32 app and the .NET app, but that is my last resort.  I'm hoping to find something a little easier. Cheers,  Scott Hi Scott - Although the names are quite similar, Query Notifications is not the same thing as Notification Se ...Show All

• SQL Server Command USE with variable

  Why I can’t use the command USE with variable declare @banco varchar(20) select @banco='xpto' USE @banco I have try in other way without success DECLARE @banco varchar(50) declare @SQL varchar(50) select @banco='xpto' print @banco select @SQL='USE '+@banco print @SQL exec(@SQL) Help me, please. Rodrigo It is executed at both compile time and run time, so I presume that is the reason. Not all commands can use variables in place of constants. the TOP command, for instance, only takes constants until it was altered in SQL 2005.

• .NET Development Release version of CLR Profiler for .Net 2.0

  Now that Visual Studio 2005 is released and I have installed the team suite version, I still cannot find anywhere the release version of CLRProfiler for .Net 2.0. Will someone at MS make it available for download The CLRProfiler officially on the MS pages is for .Net 1.1. Beta2 seems to have some internal unsupported MS link. Thanks Pawan We haven't released the final version of the CLRProfiler yet. We wanted to fix some bugs and update the documentation. I'm in the process of getting it posted on the MSDN site. It should be available to download in the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your patience Claudio Cal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with logger

  hi there i am trying to log the contents of my build into the file log.txt and send an email to the developers. It is not logging the contents of my build onto the file log.txt and it is not creating the file as well.

• Visual Basic Determine Dll Types Programatically

  How can you programmatically determin if a dll is an assembly, win32 or activex Thanks for the feedback.  I double checked with our team and there is no API call in .NET that can give you this information.  You would need to write custom code to crack open the DLLs and see what they are.  I've passed this on to the product team for consideration in future versions.  If you have the time and interest, I suggest you file a suggestion on the product feedback center and reply with the ID number.  Thanks again.

• SQL Server Conditional MDX ?

  I've got a solution where I need to apply some adjustment to a measure for a given scope: Scope ([Organization].[Organization].&[13], [Product].[Division Temperature].&[Frozen], [Measures].[FOB]); This = [Measures].[FOB] - 1.25; End Scope ; This works fine, but given that this solution uses role based security to limit access to specific dimension data, there are some roles that don't have access to the [Organization].[Organization].&[13] and the MDX fails parsing. Is there any way to make a conditional MDX that I can use to only apply the given MDX SCOPE when the role has access to the dimensions used in th ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to add a launch condition based on whether a task is running

  I want to add a launch condition, so that the install will not continue if my program is already running. I have seen lots of documentation on how to search for a file and use that for a condition. Is there a way to get a files state, or to check for a process. I am using VS 2005 to create my setup. The Windows Installer way to do this would be to have entries in the ServiceControl table, if this is a Service you're trying to stop. Visual Studio doesn't expose this in the IDE, so you'd have to be comfortable with MSI files and Orca to do this, or move to another MSI-building tool such as Wix. ...Show All
