• .NET Development Calling an Oracle Package using DBProviderFactory

  I am trying to create a generic DAL and I am almost there. I can query the Oracle Database without any problem using straight sql, but when I try to call returning a cursor I get the following error: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GET_PROGRAMS' I have attached the code that executes to return the datatable. As you can see I check the type of the parameter and if it is an OracleParameter and direction output, I am assuming an oracle cursor type and translate it. But when I do an autos watch on my debugging I can see the parameter is an oracleparameter and the direction is output, but it ...Show All

• SQL Server Query cost

  In many cases, I am finding that SQL Server 2005 generates the same plan as SQL Server 2000, but the SQL 2005 costs are orders of magnitude greater than the SQL 2000. Also, the execution time and cpu time shown by SET STATISTICS IO/TIME on are greater in 2005 than they are in 2000. Are the costs not comparable across the two versions Sharon Sharon, The cost calculation is different in SQL Server 2005. Cost is now calculated by the number of ticks (based on memory, io and context switch cost). So that may explain the cost difference. I'll try to see if I'm getting the same behaviour with statistics ...Show All

• Visual C# Cast string to variable?

  Is there a way to cast a string to a variable name In my code I need to instance classes on the fly. In psuedocode I want to do this: Variable KeyValue<x>; With <x> being replaced by an incrementing number on every call (so you might end up with KeyValue0, KeyValue1, KeyValue2, etc.). Is there any way to do this in C#  I recall a way in Pascal, but that was many years ago... No, there isn't a way as the variable name must be known at compile time. You could implement this using a collection class such as:   // in your constructor List<Variable> m_keyValu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with users/group security on TFS projects.

  I can find no information in the administrators guide on how to add users or groups to a project but have observed the following behavior. I have created a project in TFS Beta 3.   I go to Team/Team Project Settings/Security... and bring up the Project Security Dialog box. The first problem I found is that I do not see anyway to associate users and passwords with the Team Foundation Server groups. Next I tried to add a windows domain group so I selected "Add Windows user or group", and clicked the Add... button to bring up the Select Users or Groups dialog.

• Visual C++ Passing an array of structs

  I have this struct struct student//Struct layout { char name[30]; char id[11]; float gpa; int age; char gender; }; this is the syntax I have for the function I want to send the array to: void firstmenu(student students[]); student students[5];//Struct Array, this is where I make the array firstmenu(students[]); and that is where I try to call it. I get a compiler error of: error C2059: syntax error : ']' when I try to call the function.

The problem i'm having is that some features in beta 1 doesn't work on beta 2, like for example when chaning a directory for the project's output you do not see the list panel to select what macros when you click on the macros button. The other problem is in Configurations properties->C/C++->General->Additional Include Directories is that unless you enter the directory their by hand, not by choosing the edit option, you can not add new additional directories. in the edit dialog of those types of options you do not see the macros list panel nor the list panel f ...Show All
