• Visual C# SQL lookup

  I am a new user to Visual Studio and SQL Server. This is probably a question that has been asked before but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have an SQL database with two tables. One has a primary key and the second has a primary key with a foreign key referring back to the first table. I display the fields that are of interest in about 9 text boxes. My question is how do I use the text box containing the key for the second table and derive the rest of the information to display in the other text boxes I type in the number and should be able to get the rest of the information but I'm just plain stuck. I know that I can use the views and ...Show All

• Visual C++ Converting System::String to Int32 and back again in hex in C++

  OK, I have a simple question: I have a window where a user can enter a hex value, like 10BF00D1. Another one where the user can enter a pure binary number like 1000011101101001. I want to grab the String and put the data into an integer, manipulate it and turn the result back into a String. How do I do this with the managed System::String class in Visual C++ 2005 It was easy to do back in the "C" world, why is it so hard to find the new way Thanks, Dale Thanks for the list. I already have some of the books on the C++ list, so I know they are good. I would like to get some of the others. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2003 Time Drift, NTP Server went down.

  Our SQL Server 2003 at work is no longer syncing to NTP Server (ntp server has not been syncing time for 2 weeks, we just happend to notice today). The time drift at the moment seems to be somewhere between 10-30 seconds. We do hundreds of thousands of real-time transactions all day long (Banking). If we bring the NTP server back online and it adjusts the time on the SQL Server, what (if any) problems would be be looking at Thanks Carl Obviously, it would be anything that could be time-related. If that's an issue in your system is impossible for us to say, it all depends on what possible confusion it ...Show All

• Visual C++ Indenter etc. for VC++ 2003

  I have been handed almost 15,000 lines of C and CPP code (almost 350 functions) that are left justified and no spaces within the lines other than the necessary ones. I'd like to have the code indented and have it also spaced about to make the code easier to work with. Is there a free or very inexpensive indenter/beautifier/prettier available that works inside VC++ 2003 (as tool etc.) that will indent and also pretty the code with spaces etc. If not internal to VC++ 2003, one that works on all of the files in one pass I appreciate your help. Thanks, RON C Have you tried Ctrl K, F ...Show All

• Visual Basic fun with oop

  I would like to be able to pass a string into a method and have that method decide which kind of object to return.  For example,  I would like to pass the "woof" string into a method like the one illustrated below and have it return a "dog" object.  Is such a thing possible I know that I can set the function return type to "Animal" since all three objects are derived from animal, but if I do that I will lose functionality in the "Parrot" object which inherits first from "Animal" then from "Bird".  For example, I would lose the ability to write "a.Wings" to the console (illustrated below) because the base class "An ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make it so an app installs for ALL users, not just the current one?

  I noticed when I create a setup.exe and install it, the app goes into \Documents and Settings\myUsername\... etc.  How can I make it go into \Documents and Settings\All Users\   And have the shortcut available for all users as well, on a global level   BUT still have the application settings on a per-user basis. This version of ClickOnce does not support control of All Users vs. Current User, you can only go to the current user.

Try using the ConfigurationManager type w/ ConfigurationFileMapping type, to explicitly point to your config file and read it. ...Show All
