  Hi, i am a complete novice so please excuse me if this question is naive. I am creating a project in c# and wish to use graphicspath which is in drawing2d.

I do not see this under the references and can find no sign of it in the add references screen. So my question is, is drawing2d.graphicspath available through cf2.0 or not . If yes how do i make it available cheers ...Show All

• SQL Server BCP IN ISO-8859-1 (ISO-LATIN-1) TYPEFACE

  I NEED TO BCP DATA FROM A TABLE TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE ISO-8859-1 (ISO-LATIN-1) TYPEFACE IS THERE A SWITCH I CAN USE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. EMAD I am not sure what you mean by compliance with ISO-LATIN-1. If your column collation is specified correctly then BCP will automatically preserve that upon export. So when you create the data file you should get the characters exported correctly. BCP also has the -C option where you can specify the code page used for character translation explicitly but this parameter is meant for backward compatibility purposes. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Linking the microsoft platform SDK to VS 2005 express

  Hi, i have read through various threads regarding methods to link the microsoft platform SDK to visual studio 2005 express beta 2.

• Visual C++ Derived Hashtable Problems

  Hi - I have created a class that derives from Hashtable whose items are arraylists, creating a multimap of sorts for which I can iterate through all the items of the same key. I have overwritten the set_Item property method so that adding an item always places it in the arraylist for the given key. I am having trouble with the get_Item method though. If I don't define the get_Item method than I get a compiler error when I try to use it, even though it is a valid public method of the Hashtable base class. Here's the error: error C2775: 'AEM::Shared::CListMap::Item' : no 'get' method is associated with this property see declar ...Show All
