• Visual Basic 2 Textfiles in DataSet

  Hey there I have a problem: I import 2 textfiles (they are saved in the same folder and TabDelimited) with the Visual Studio 2005 wizard into a DataSet. Now I'd like to do a SQL query which gives me all the records that are in one table but not in the other one. But here I got an error. I tried some ways in query builder but it seems that a query through 2 textfiles isn't possible. When I select a row from only one textfile the query runs without problems. As soon as I add the second table it doesn't work. Can you tell me if it's really impossible to do a query through 2 textfiles And if yes, how could I solve ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with decimal representation on German OS !!

  Hi, I am facing a problem which I think is very generic and I can find a prompt answer from my fellow programmers around. I am doing some calculation like: int original_scale_factor = 1; float temp = original_scale_factor / 1000.0; which if I output in a file using: fprintf(out_file, "Matrix Value [%9.7f] ", temp); dumps string like : Matrix Value [0.001] The problem arises in German OS where the same value is dumped like: Matrix Value [0,001] which renders my processing of the output file invalid later. I found that its the issue with German OS decimal point representation format where comma is used in place of decimal. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Beginner question.

  Beginner question. How can I label recursive a project or directory I tried attaching the label to a project but then check the subproject and the label is not attached. Thanks, Monica A label in VSS is recursive. See help for "How to Label Files and Projects" topic: "When you label a project with a descriptive text string, all the files in that project and subproject inherit the label." If you're looking at the subproject's history, make sure you check in the ProjectHistoryOptions dialog the "Include Labels" checkbox. The history dialog should show in label lines the top level folder that was labeled. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use an animated gif?

  I was wondering if there was a way to play an animated gif I tried setting the source of an image to a gif file but it only loads the first frame of the gif and that's it. As a learning project I created a WPF control to display animated GIF files. The "ImageAnim" control mimics most of the behavior of Microsoft's WPF "Image" control with the additional benefit of handling animated GIF's. You can download ImageAnim.dll from www.robreiss.com .

• SQL Server SQL Server schema/data synchronisation tools

  Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong forum... I need to migrate ~20 databases from SQL Server 2000 on one server to SQL Server 2005 on another server. As a one man band I don't have a lot of time and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any tools which will help me to achieve this Ideally I would like to be able to migrate everything automatically, but will accept the fact that no system is likely to copy users and permissions etc. Even if the tool will help me to synchronise the table schema and data, this would be a bonus Thanks in advance Hello selwonk, Have you tried Copy Database Wizard   See below MSDN arti ...Show All
