• Visual Basic creating a text object

  Is there a way to create a text object By putting [ and ] you can escape the name between them. In this case, since string is a built in keyword in Visual Basic .NET, the compiler would have treated it as the keyword string instead of the type name String. In this particular case (assuming that you are Importing the System namespace) they just happen to mean the same thing (a string in Visual Basic maps to the System.String class in the .NET framework. For a more informative example, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vbls7/html/vblrfvbspec2_2.asp Best regards ...Show All

• Windows Forms Opening new IE windows

  When I open a new window in IE 6.0 sp2, I want the window to open full size (maximized, not full screen, like you get from pressing f11). I would appreciate any help with this. I was able to open new windows before like this, but somehow it is not doing so anymore. Anyone got any ideas what I can do, and please explain it so I can understand Thank you If you opening the windows from code then you can pass extra parameters to the Process.Start that indicate how the initial window should be sized. In that case provide the maximized flag. Phil Wright http://www.componentfactory.com Free user interf ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the performance difference between using varchar fields of vastly different sizes?

  I was wondering what the performance diffeneces/issues there are between using  varchar fields of largely different sizes ie varchar(100) vs. varchar(5000)  From what I have read SQL Server only stores the actual bytes of the data written to the field, so data 50 bytes long would be stored the same in a field of varchar(100) or varchar(5000). Everywhere I look people say to use the smallest size possible but given few if any reasons for this logic.  I would love to hear from someone that knows the inside details of why if any this affects performance. The reason I am interested is that we are building an application that may ...Show All

• SQL Server How to call Integration Services Project from Web UI

  I just got done finishing an Integration Services Project (which I have to say was sickening easy!) which does the following:  1) Imports a comma delimited txt file 2) Exports it into a table 3) I do some manipulation and other table creation using SQL 4) Outputs a table to a flat file again I now need to allow the user to run this process.  I'd like to either: a) Provide them a shortcut that when clicked on their desktop starts the process that I have defined in my Integration Services Project b) Better yet, create a web U I that has a button they can click on, something that shows the progress in time, and th ...Show All

• .NET Development MultiStream files

  Hi all. I have a "small" problem: I have noticed that if I am using FileStream to open a file that contains multiple streams, I am getting only the main stream of that file. Do you know if there is any possibility to read the whole file Thanks. Mircea I honestly don't know.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why the reverse German-like syntax?

  Why do the LINQ queries have to look like a SQL query in German   If you are trying to make it easier and are adding SQL-like keywords to the language, at least keep the ordering the same as SQL. The way this is, I have to know C#, SQL for triggers and stored procedures, and LINQ for the in-code queries.  I don't see how this is going to make my life any easier. > .... why then has VB decided to do it the wrong way This would hardly be a first for VB and cannot be taken as a guide for what C# should do.  I am not on the team, and am not from MS, but what's clear to me is tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PeerChannel message loss and more test data

  Here's the latest in my attempt to find a reliable configuration for PeerChannel to handle large volume enterpries messaging, and some new test results. When I first started playing with PeerChannel, it seemed like it lost messages very easily. Then I found that by adding an Application.DoEvents or a small sleep in my tight sending loop, things got better. A lot better: a couple of days ago I posted test results where I never lost a single message. If I really pushed things and tried to send a million messages, receivers eventually ran out of memory, but the network and its buffering were superb. Not a single lost message. That testing wa ...Show All
