• Visual Studio Express Editions Checking to see if a file is active on the internet?

  Hello, I'm trying to determine if a file on ther internet is active (Working) , like from a HTTP or FTP host BUT I don't want to download the entire file. I know I can do this with the WebClient class but that downloads the entire fire. I just need to know if the file works. Also, is there a way to find out the size of the file w/o having to (again) download the entire fie THanks in advance. Daticus, You could write a socket application that connects to port 80 on the HTTP server and issue a range retrieval request.  This will instruct the web server to only send back a portion of the file from the server so that you do not get the ...Show All

• SQL Server Shading By Value

  Currently in my reports I am shading every other row by using an expression in the background color property. This works fine. Is there any way to shade by other options I have a report with a non-unique id as the first column. I would like to be able to alternate the background color based on these id's. For instance I might have three rows of white background (id = 1), five rows of grey background (id = 2), and two rows of white background (id = 3) etc. Is there a way to do this in MS Reporting Services A colleague of mine and I came up with what we think is a better solution to this problem. We went ...Show All

• Visual Basic Infuriating Crash

  I just changed the name of a separator in my menu and Visual Studio crashed. On as simple a thing as that. Now, on reloading my application, all the items in my menu and in my toolbar have been wiped out, leaving me with nothing. I shall have to spend the next hour or more reconstructing them, and hope that they stay in place this time. This system is so buggy, it's almost unusable and I'm seriously thinking of going back to VB6 I'm afraid. OK, it only took about twenty minutes to fix. Vis Studio had decided to remove a number of lines using the AddRange method of the menu and toolstrip items collection. So I ...Show All

• Visual C++ _bstr_t question

  How do I do case conversion for _bstr_t Are there any functions available I looked up MSDN, did not find much help there. Appreciate any help, S _bstr_t exists mainly to provide conversion between ANSI and Unicode strings. It doesn't do much else, you'd have to take the string in whatever format you want and put it into a string wrapper that does tolower, toupper, etc. From memory, std::string needs a function object to do this, but CString will do it. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Questions about a files CRC

  I am making a file editing program and as such my program will change the files CRC. Now, with the CRC changed the program that uses the file no longer will read it. Is there a way to find the position of the CRC in a file so I can change it. You need to know where the CRC is in the file, and know the algorithm that is in use. Or you can guess. Talking about guessing, I suspect that the whole point of the CRC is to prevent the changes you are making to the file, in which case, it's unlikely that the location of the CRC is going to be made known to you. What file/application is it I know a lot of games do that sort of thing to ...Show All
