• Visual C# Differneces between c++ and c#!?

I really need an answer to this question because i don't know what lenguage to learn! Thanks  C# is a newer language with a Java-like syntax and feel to it.

• SQL Server SSMS keeps changing my CAST function

  SSMS keeps changing CAST ( MyColumnID AS varchar( 10 )) to CONVERT ( [varchar] ( 10 ), [MyColumnID] , 0 ) Is that a suggestion to use only Convert, if the engine is going to convert it anyway Just curious, what do you mean it is changing it Are you executing a CREATE or ALTER statement and the opening the stored procedure to find it changed I usually prefer CONVERT becuase it has more flexibility, although they are essentially the same. Don't know why it would try to change your code though. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista going to persistence, inside workflow runtime

Everytime this Activity is executed, the Workflow will persist when the Activity completes its execution. Another way would be to use TransactionScope activity, which casues the Workflow to be persisted. Steve Danielson [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS&qu ...Show All
