• SQL Server How to return varchar(MAX) from a CLR function?

  Hi, I am trying to return [ string/SqlString ] from a CLR function, but it was truncated at 8000 characters. How can I solve this problem and return varchar(MAX) Thanks The Visual Studio deployment tool maps SqlString to VARCHAR(8000).  Use SqlChars instead -- it gets mapped to VARCHAR(MAX).     -- Adam Machanic Pro SQL Server 2005, available now http://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html bID=457 --     <Bill YU@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:2a21db0a-f54b-42e2-88b9-fb4cab26d356@discussions.microsoft.com ...

• .NET Development Overwrite one section of binary file

  Hi! I have a binary file that contains strings one after the other and I want to replace a string at offset x. The existing string is, let's say 10 bytes long, but the new one is 12 bytes long. How do I replace the old string at position x without overwriting the first 2 bytes of the next string and without rewriting the entire binary file from offset x. Thanks already in advance! If the SQL server setup is not too big I might do it that way, but first I'll take a look at that Intel library, although that sounds very "unmanaged" and thus probably hard to work with. Thanks for your help! ...Show All
