• Visual C# Type-safe Collections and Duplication

  Is there any way to write type-safe collections for different types without repeating code The best way I know of is to just write separate classes deriving from CollectionBase and add the required methods but this leads to a lot of code duplication. In C++ there is no such problem because of templates. Is there some way to get the same functionality in C# It calls "Generics" and it's a feature of C# 2.0: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/csharp_generics.asp http://blogs.msdn.com/csharpfaq/archive/2004/03/12/88913.aspx   ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Select Into

  Hello, I am trying to use the following statement, ALTER TABLE AuditAbatements ADD SELECT * INTO AuditAbatements FROM Abatements WHERE 1 = 2, but I am getting a syntax error. I am trying to copy the structure of another table into a table that is already created. Can this be done Thanks Not as far as I am aware, no. Why not just drop the table and then re-create it Select INTO is used to copy data into a table, not copy a schema over an existing schema. If you want to dynamically copy the schema of one table into another (i.e. you don't know what table to want to copy the schema of until ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 stdevp function

  I am currently unable to get the stdevp function to work. The query is as follows: SELECT stdevp(Schedule_Weight) AS Expr1 FROM Order_Start_Steps_Weights WHERE (Schedule_Weight_Type = 1) When I try to execute the query (from either BIDS or SSMS) the query gets changed to: SELECT COUNT_BIG(Schedule_Weight) AS Expr1 FROM Order_Start_Steps_Weights WHERE (Schedule_Weight_Type = 1) I should mention that the stdev function works just fine if I substitute that for the stdevp function. Needless to say, there is a big difference between counting a population and finding the standard deviation of a population. Have I ...Show All

• Visual C# Best C# book

  Hi! I'm looking for the best C# book. I already know C++. Which is the best according to you Thanks.   Luca Honestly, the 'best' book depends on what your goals are. Given that you already know C++, it is unlikely that a book focusing on the syntax of C# would be useful. Instead, I'd be trying to learn about the different classes in the Base Class Library and how they can be used to create various types of applications. If this sounds like what you're looking for, check out: Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming - Jeffrey Richter .NET Framework Standard Library Annotated Ref ...Show All

  I've gotten DIME attachments to work, but I'm running into the infamous 4096 limitation. How can I download a 20 meg file as a DIME attachment I've tried the maxRequestLength setting    <messaging>       <maxRequestLength>-1</maxRequestLength>    </messaging> but this doesn't have any effect. Actually, looking at the docs indicates to me that this setting has an effect for uploads, rather than downloads since this is intended to prevent denial of service attackers from submitting large file uploads to the server. How do I download really large files via DIME attachments T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Downgrading from 2.0 to 1.1

  On our new website we decided to use CommunityServer's asp.net portal. We ran into a multitude of bugs and found out that it has issues with .net 2.0. So I went to downgrade to 1.1 but after the uninstall supposedly finished successfully and I rebooted. Nothing had changed, all files were still there and 1.1 now would not install, and IIS didn't think any .net revision was present. So after a botched uninstall and all scripts and attempts to manually uninstall fail how do you downgrade Thank you everyone that responds :) There is no dow ...Show All
