• .NET Development What's win32 and 64-Bit?

  Hello, I am so so so lost with this stuff!!! Can you please explain to me what's 64-Bit and win32 Is there relation between the two things or not Anythig else I should know Your help is appreciated. Win32 is the API set that was introduced with WinNT as a transition to 32-bit code, used in Win95 and lives as the Windows API to today. 64-bit Windows has the Win32 API at its core, with pointer sizes (and pointer sized things) increased to 64-bits, but otherwise the API is intact.

• SQL Server Grouping question

  Hi guys, on my report i have 3 separate matrices with monthly sales results, each gives a different view on the same data. This all works nicely, but the customer wants these matrices grouped by product (the product is a parameter of the report, they can choose several or all products to report on).   Exactly what would be the best way to achieve this grouping It seems i can't house them within a table, and i can't put them in another matrix without running into scope errors.   Thanks!!! sluggy There are multiple ways to do this: 1.

• Visual C# How do I tell when all threads in a pool are complete

  I have an app that uses a thread pool to ping all hosts on the local network. Each thread updates a listview with the status of that IP - alive or dead. When all the threads are done, I want to remove all the dead links from the list view. How can I tell when all the threads have done their job What is the best way to loop over the listview backwards (I assume backwards is best since the items are indexed...), removing each dead link (text in column 1 = "dead") Thanks in advance. if ( this .InvokeRequired) { return this .Invoke( new _InvokeGetListViewDelegate (_InvokeGetList ...Show All
