  I have created a simple C# console application (using VSTS RC) and added a simple class containing a public method. Then a C# test project was automatically genreated.

• Visual Basic 2005 .Net Nightmare

  As a visB programmer who has been happily coding very successful applications for many years, I have been shocked at the verbose incomprehensibility of the .net framework. Where is the wonderful Basic language that has served so well for so long Is there a way to disable all the garbage in VisB 2005 in order to just write simple single thread applications in the Visual Basic language I have been unable to get even the simplest microsoft SDK examples to run in .Net. I really don't want to invest in learning a language as complex and dense as the .Net applications, I don't believe I will ever need ANY of this functionality. The whole IDEA beh ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy Database with "Transfer Database Task" breaks identity columns?

  Hello all! I'm trying to do something which is seemingly simple, but I keep running into problems, so I am hoping for some friendly advice. I have a live SQL database running on a hosted Sql Server 2000.  I'd like to copy that database to my local machine running Sql Server 2005. What is the easiest way to do this I tried creating a very simple SSIS package with one "Transfer Database Task" which does the database copy.  This almost works, but all of my "identity columns" have been turned off for some reason. Is there a better way to copy a database   Is this "identity" thing a setting I am missing or is it a known issu ...Show All

• Visual Basic Regular Expression: Removing All Lines NOT Containing a Specific String

  I know how to remove all lines in a file that contain a specific string using the IDE Find/Replace dialog and Regular Expressions For example, to remove all lines in a file containing the string ABC, you can use: Find: ^.@(ABC).@$\n Replace: (nothing) What I'm trying to figure out is how to do the opposite and remove all lines NOT containing ABC. Any ideas Thanks. I believe this regular expression you want to: ^[^A]|( ~(BC)))+$\n It will try to accept as many non 'A' characters it can, but if it does match an 'A', it will not accept a line with an 'A' followed by 'BC'.

• SQL Server Problem formatting currency to different decimal places

  I'm trying to format a field value to currency on a SQL report. I need to allow for 4 decimal places to the right of the decimal if the field value contains those digits. (ie. $6.8484). Most of the time I will not have 4 places to the right of the decimal and would like to format according to the amout of decimal places. For example, If the value is 1 dollar, I don't want to format as $1.0000. I need a way to format the values according to the amount of digits to the right of the decimal. (ie. 1 dollar = $1.00, 3.453 = $3.453, 2.4453 = $2.4453) Is there an easy way to do this using C2,C3, and C4 Please help. ...Show All

• .NET Development how to get some text into a XMLWriter?

  This should be sooo easy.

• .NET Development Why does the BitArray use LittleEndian?

  I'm curious about why System.Collections.BitArray uses Little Endian format. Was there a reason for this http://cplan.cse.msu.edu/cs/blogs/smithiscrazy/archive/2005/04/11/684.aspx And I think the BCL people should change it. BitArray uses little-endian format because you are running your program on a little endian CPU. BitArray stores the bits in an internal array of integers. So if the integers on your platform are little endian, your BitArray will be little endian too. If you look at the internal implementation of the constructor BitArray.BitArray(byte[]) (using a tool like Lutz Roeder's Reflector ), y ...Show All
