• Visual C++ Question about interface method and implementation

  Hi All, I'm trying the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, especially for C++/CLI implementation in VC++.  I was wondering if someone could please help me with a question that I have.

I've defined an interface like this: public interface class IMyInterface {     void TryAndTry(); }; and a class implementing this interface ref class MyClass: IMyInterface { public:     void TryAndTry()     {         Console::WriteLine("DONE");     } }; I've a test program that simply creates an instance of this class.

• SQL Server Guids as primary keys

  Is it a good idea to use Guids as primary key. What is the impact on performance. Guids are random by nature that may have an impact on writing clustered index. Any comments or suggestions Actually, (and you're not the only one ni the forum to make this mistake) a GUID in SQL Server is 32 bytes. MS Access uses a 16 byte GUID, but for replication only. As far as using a GUID for a primary key, I'm working with a database that has 125M+ rows and a GUID defnied as the PK. The performance is horrible. I count this as one of my worse decisions. If you truly need a globally unique identity, then by all ...Show All

• .NET Development Delay

  What command in C# make a delay in program (like Sleep() in C++) What are you trying to achieve with the Sleep Although, you can sleep the current thread via Thread.Sleep, doing this on the main thread is typically a bad thing as this will prevent Windows messages from being processed, and to the user it will seem like your application has locked up. If you are using this in a Windows Forms application, it is probably better to use a Timer class. ...Show All

I would like to put a shape inside a shape the same way as creating a compartiment for attributes.  Is it possible Example : Having a Square shape  I would like to put inside the square a circle or a roundedrectangle in some way that allows me connect to any shape in the diagram.

  I have had several reports dumped on me and I need to get them integrated into a web based, .net, application. I am using VS.NET 2003 and Crystal Reports for VS.NET 2003.

  I'm getting SqlDateTime Overflow Error when I try to INSERT a DateTimepicker.Value.ToShortTimeString (e.g. "10:57 PM") into my Sql 2005 database column (type nvarchar50).

Of course it does (when using strong typing ) and it is a good thing. Otherwise you never know the ty ...Show All

  A quick question to ask what people tend to use as a reporting tool for winforms application that DONT use a database as their underlying data storage. In the past we've tried various methods from writing our own routines, data dynamics, component one and devexpress and found all un-satisfactory in one way or another. What I'd like is to give the end users the ability to create a template in say word and drop in markers and then fill this in, however I don't want to impose a restriction that the end users machine has to have word installed. The type of data to be filled in would be things such as graphics and other sub report ...Show All
