• Visual C# adding a library in a aspx file

  Hello, I know that you can add the reference to a library by right clicking on the project and choose add a reference. But I would like to know if it is possible to add a library to an aspx file that is not in a project. I tried the import namespace but it doesn't find the library (namespace could not be found, are you missing a reference error message). The dll file is on the same folder as the aspx file, and in a bin file of the root and I even add it in the globalcache. Can someone help me Thanks 1) Load the *.dlls into the GAC 2) Then add the libraries (*.dlls) to your project ...Show All

• SQL Server Index not showing up on receiving database after DTS

  We have a DTS package from an MS ACCESS database to a SQL Server 2000 database.  One of the tables ENGR_ITEM had an index on it in ACCESS, but you can't see it in the object list in Enterprise Manager.  The only way you know the index is there is if you try to create a primary key on the table and then save it.  It won't let you save it because it says it already has a primary key from the index.  You would think you would be able to see it if it existed.  Does anybody find that weird Thank you for your information on how to find the indexs/constraints on tables.  Very help ...Show All

• .NET Development local host ambiguity and other issues

  I am kind of in the beginning of what I see is a long path to conquer .NET concepts, so excuse my naivite on many issues. I am trying to develop a project that would listen to some active TCP/UDP ports in my Win2K or WinSer2003 OS and forward the stream of datagrams into SQL database tables. A number of parts of this project are already in place. Now I am working on a listening part. Here I used a Dns.GetHostName() to get the local host name. It gave me a canonical name DDMNVT61 which is my computer's name. The IP address for this name was 10.1.10.176 which is the IP address of my Comcast broadband modem/router (10.1.10.1). When I am checki ...Show All

• Visual C++ '0' character oddity

  I'm working on a Poker game for a class project and I've come across an unexpected behavior of the '0' character. One I know it might be better to use '1' but, I haven't, up to this point anyway.

Is it a bug I'm trying to sort a hand of Card objects, implemented as such: struct Hand { const static int COUNT = 5; Cards cards[COUNT]; ... }; I know I need to overload the < operator. Here's class Cards: struct Cards { char suit, value; void setSuit(char suit) { this->suit = suit; } void setValue(char value) { this-> ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC8 requires STL list to define operator< ?

  Hi, I have code that compiled with VC6 but doesn't on VC8. The problem seems to be that list::sort requires that an operator< be defined. None of my classes have the < operator defined. However, in VC6, the compiler would only complain if you actually used myList.sort(). VC8 seems to require that the class have the operator< even though I don't use the sort routine. Is there a compiler option to make VC8 not require that code exists if it's not required -- or something to that effect Thanks for any help. Dan. I ...Show All
