• Visual Studio Express Editions Progress bar

  Ok. how do you gte a progress bar to work beacuse i'm clueless. Well, which bit are you stuck with The most common reason that people ask this is because they are trying to show progress on an atomic operation ( that is, they call a method and expect a progress bar to move while that method runs, that won't happen ), or because they don't see anything on the progress bar, because their processor is taken up by the operation ( call Applicat ...Show All

• Visual C# Writing to File Properties (Like from Windows Explorer Properties)

  I am trying to write a property (specifically the "Comment" property) of a file programmatically.  This would be the same as opening the file properties in Windows Explorer, and changing the field.

• SQL Server Help W/Disabling FK Constraints for Batch Operations

  HI all, I'm trying to have a SProc that will initialize a database for me. This db is in development (I'm primarily writing SSIS packages, atm), and I constantly need to truncate the tables, then re-add a dummy/unknown row (PK/Identity value = 1). Of course, I need triggers not to fire (got that part working), and FK constraints to be bypassed temporarily -- that's the problem. Here's where I'm at: -------------------------------------- ...Show All

• SQL Server Database connection and local temp tables

  We have a C# process that opens a database connection, creates and populates a global temp table, manipulates the data in it and then renders a SQL report to display the data in the temp table. However, to avoid concurrency issues, we want to switch to a local temp table so that it is only available to the connection opened by the C# process. Unfortunately, when we try to render the report, the temp table will not be visible to the report ...Show All

• .NET Development XML and dataset question

  Hi all, I've posted this already on the VB express forum, but I didn't get an answer. This might be a better forum for my question: I've created a DataSet and use xml-files as my database. The principle is outlined in this article: http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/28678 So for every DataTable I have an XML-file containing the data for that table. If the dataset contains a lot of tables I also get a lot of XML-files that way ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unresolved external for IID_IXMLDOMDocument2

  Hello, I am trying to reproduce a problem (huge memory increase) in an MSXML wrapper library.
