• Visual C++ pin_ptr and jagged arrays.

  I can't seem to find any specific information on pinning jagged arrays. For example: void SomeMethod(array<array<Byte>^ >^ data) { // ... pin_ptr<Byte> pinnedPointer = &data[0][0]; //... } Does this have the effect of pinning the entire data object or only the array data[0] The docs for pin_ptr only specify that it pins the entire array; but array<array<Byte>^ >^ is an array of arrays.

• SQL Server What is the best way to compute the value of XQuery position()?

  This issue arises from a current limitation in the usage of position() to within a predicate in SQL Server 2005 (if I interpreted the earlier discussion threads correctly). In my scenario, I need to shred a sequence of XML elements (actually, menu selections in a call); but need to include the position/sequence number for each element as well, when saving them to a relational table. After realizing (the hard way) that S ...Show All
