• Visual C# how to convert array into an array of bytes?

  Hi, I'm busy in C# trying to send an array (of string) structure from a server to a client app. I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Im using sockets to do this. but there isnt any method to convert the array into byte[]. Any suggestion would be appreciated. byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( "Diego" ); You can use Unicode if your string contains non-ASCII characters. Another handy method is int System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetByteCount( string ) if you want to make buffer calculations before the conversion takes place.

• Windows Forms Problem with datagrid refreshing to selected item

  Here's my problem: I have a Windows form which contains a listbox and a datagrid.  The listbox populates various xml files stored on the hard drive.  When the user clicks on a particular file, it pulls the data from the xml file, and places it into the datagrid.  Sometimes, there are tons of information within the xml file, and the rows in the datagrid can become long.  Therefore, there is a scrollbar to scroll to rows not fitting in the datagrid area (as a normal scrollbar is intended to do).  The datagrid refreshes every two seconds to gather info from the xml file, in the instance that someone edits the xml file ...Show All

• Windows Forms DateTimePicker focus problem

  Hi, I have a DateTimePicker control that is embedded in a DataGridView. I would like to programmatically manipulate what part of the DateTime is highlighted. For instance, depending on certain circumstances highlight the month, or sometimes highlight the year. So far the only solution I have is to use SendKeys, for example: SendKeys .Send( "{RIGHT}" ); This work must be submitted to the head designer, and she is very strict. I would rather not present a SendKeys solution, if anyone can help me do this another way I would appreciate it. Thank you, Eric ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions A small complaint from nobody

  I have long been a Visual Basic coder. I read C++ quite well but really struggle to write it. Primarily because nearly every "example" I try to compile, will not. This makes it nearly impossible to understand how things are put together. Most of the time I can't figure out if I am formating my code the wrong way or just don't have one of the many compiler or references set correctly. So if anyone at Microsoft is paying attention, or cares. Would you please figure out how to make an entry level IDE for VC++, that has examples that compile right out of the box. I don't understand why this has to be so complicated. As near as I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio ReportViewer drillthrough in WebForms looking for .rdlc instead of .rdl in Local processing

  I am creating a ASP.NET application for reporting. I have created the reports (.rdl) using the Report designer. I keep all these .rdl files in a folder and this reporting application will list these reports. Clicking on a report will generate the report. I am reading the rdl xml to get the query and query parameters, then retrieve the data and add datasource to the LocalReport. This is working fine. In the drillthrough event I get the original drillthrough parameters and retrieving the data and setting it to the drillthrouh report. But it the report is looking for the .rdlc file. Just for the time being I renamed the .rdl file to have the .r ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection managers - OLE DB

  Hi There Quick question.In DTS when you had multiples tasks connecting to the same Database, it was reccomended that you create multiple connections for the same database and let each task use a different connection, thereby making a new connection for each one. In SSIS if i define 1 OLE DB connection to a database, but i have say 6 tasks using that connection that run simultaneously, does eachone open a new connection to the database to make it more efficient Or do i still need to define multiple connections to the same database and assign each task a different connection Thanx Did you have retain same connection set to true I don't h ...Show All

• SQL Server Random access in a result set

  I use an SQL task to produce a result set which I store in a package variable. It works fine to access the result set in a script task by first casting it to a ADODB.Recordset, and then enumerating it and accessing the rows in the given order. But is there a simple and clean way to randomly access the result set  In other words to repeatedly select a random row from it One thought I had was to convert the result set to some sort of array which can be randomly indexed. But I didn't find out how... I'm not interested in creating an array by looping through the whole result set and inserting the row ...Show All
