• SQL Server increasing maximum of tables to greater than 256 ?

  Hi, I am submitting a query to SQL server and I'm hitting an error--> Too many table names in the query. The maximum allowable is 256. I CAN find a work around by breaking things up, but, isn't there a way to increase this limit of 256 tables Seems kind of a lowball cieling for SQL Server. Hi, this is a limitation of SQL Server and can't be changed, perhaps you can achieve a workaround by rewriting your query. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• .NET Development Generating a template to derive from abstract class

  I would like to dervie from System.Xml.XmlReader class. Is there any way to generate a skeleton of the abstract methods to be overridden automatically I assume you've used the (VS 2005) feature for implementing stubs for each method. That at least give you a startingpoint. If you know what your implementations of these methods should be, and you're going to make a series of such readers, then why not try to create your own code snippets Further, take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9khb6435.aspx . If you need to create spesialized XmlReaders, this could be an easy way to go. An ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Basic Help!

  Before going any futher with developing games and such.. Which SDK file do I have to download to start please link me up =) I'll go for the DirectX C++ I know nothing about DirectX, but I have good knowlage in C++. Thx You probably need to do an extensive search on DirectX 9/C++ tutorial but I don't want to take a lot of time doing it--can be hard for me to find for me. However, I'd recommend you learn Managed DirectX with C#.  Since you know C++ you can probably get over with the C#'s syntax very quickly. You can find it here . Please note: I'm not trying to get you away from C++ but I'm thinking that if you learn Managed Di ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem with own TextBox in VS2005

  Hey NG So, I don't know, if this is an bug of VS2005 or if I offers this problem I made a new control member. It belongs to System.Windows.Forms.TextBox. I extended the "normal" textbox with some features. Now, sometimes my VS2005 crashes. (OK-It's Beta) - But when I reopen my project, all Forms can't be displayed correct - Because of an error with my control member. - After rebuilding the project (without errors) the forms are displayed correct, but my controls are gone. Now, I could add my control member again on the form - that works - but I can't give it the same name than before. - There I have to delete following code: Friend WithE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Does VSS 2005 have Netsetup?

  Does VSS 2005 have a netsetup or equivalent I much prefer that installation tool versus toting and inserting a CD at every client box. Mike No, it doesn't, but as Rothariger said, you can install it over the network. VSS2005 doesn't create by default a new database like VSS6 did when you installed from CD, so there is no need for a "netsetup" tool that will just copy and register the binaries. Alin ...Show All

• Visual C++ File open errors returned when trying to open a file for appending

  I am trying to open a file for appending. ie. if the file exists, open it for appending, if not, create it. I am getting back a NULL pointer, and do not know why. Here is my code excerpt. It is a C file. FILE *pFile; char *cFileName; cFileName=argv[++i]; pFile = fopen(cFileName,"a"); cFileName has a valid filename ('apm.dbg'), and I have full write permissions in the directory. I can step into fopen and when the file is opened, I can see in another window that the file is created with zero bytes. However pFile is returned as NULL. GetLastError() returns: - when the file does not exist: ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK // An attempt ...Show All

• .NET Development Urgent help required--C# equivalent to Java HashMap

• SQL Server Unable to set values in array custom property

  I'd like to be able to hold onto lineageIDs in a list in the custom property of an output object. I found that I can really only easily use an array which is fine but now that I have coded it I cannot set any of the array values programatically. I can't even initialize the array the way I want it. I also cannot change the value in the debugger, it just pops back to zero. Am I missing something Here's how I'm trying to do it: IDTSCustomProperty90 linIDsProperty = output.CustomPropertyCollection.New(); linIDsProperty.Name = "KeyColumnLineageIDs"; linIDsProperty.Value = new int[MAX_KEY_COLS]; for (int i = 0; i < ((int[])linIDsProperty.Value) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Async Callback causes Windows Forms events to not fire

  Hi, I'm not sure where to post this so I've posted it here and on the Web Services forum as it involves both. I will try to explain this as quickly and as best I can. If it anything doesn't make sense then by all means, please ask for more details. I'm writing a little messager-style app whereby the app fetches messages from a web service. If a new message is returned the data library fires off a NewMessagesArrived event which is picked up by the main Library, which then instantiates and displays a little popup. Everything works fine if the message is fetched synchronously. The NewMessagesArrived event is fired, the popup is created and the ...Show All

• SQL Server Are there tools available to extract summary text from data in a varbinary(max) field?

  This is related to the previous question.... I can create fulltext indexes off document data and query the data. But when displaying the result set I want to show a standard short document summary, or better yet a summary that shows the keyword in contexts within the document (like google). Are there any tools available that allow me to do this. Can it work right from the varbinary(max) field or does the document first need to be extracted to a file. ...Show All
