• Visual Basic Queue Object

  Does anyone have any examples of using a queue object with multiple threads I want to load a que with strings that point to files and I would like threads to retrieve a string from the que and process it (this would continue till the que were empty). I can generate a couple of threads, but I don't know how to get them to interact with a queue. What I am doing is splitting up the strings so that each thread gets an equal amount and can work from ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can VSS 2005 and VSS 6 co-exist?

  Can Visual SourceSafe 2005 and 6.0 co-exist on the same machine If not the databases, can the clients Thanks, Klas The database format is the same, however VSS 2005 treats Unicode file differently from VSS 6.0 However it is not recommended to use VSS 6.0 and VSS 2005 in mixed environment. VSS 6.0 will consider Unicode file as binary and therefore is not mergable. VSS 2005 can merge Unicode files. So you can get in the situa ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to do too much in a view... I think?

  Hello all, I have a table that contains a whole bunch of clinical statistics. There are some other fields I would like to add, but they are best created on the fly, so I thought I would do this with a view. I can create some of my dynamic fields (like BMI below), but when I try to use them again in the view it doesn't work. (ie, I get an error when I try and include the case statement bit). Does anyone know what I can do Kitty. ...Show All

• SQL Server reading SQL logs

  In SQL 7/2000 you can only read the live sql transaction logs by using extended stored procedures written in C++. Is there any additional options offered by the SQL CLR in 2005, as I'd prefer to use managed code. Alternatively, are there any other ways to read the logs directly Thanks, Cathal You should be able to read the logs using standard IO managed APIs and registering your assembly as External Access.
