• Smart Device Development Read specific line from a file?

  Hi, Is there a method to read a specific line of a text file The StreamReader class does not seem to have a method to do so. The Peek method isn't what I'm looking for either. Would appreciate your help. Thanks. Will threading help If you know in advance what is the file to be processed, you can start a thread to index it first. I did a simple test program, and indeed, with indexing, reading any line is extremely fast. In my program, if the user wants to read a line that has been indexed, the result is displayed immediately, otherwise, a timer is started to repeatedly check if the line has been indexed.

• .NET Development Creating a new table in SQL Server from ADO.NET DataTable

  I have some C# code which is dynamically creating a DataTable, using ADO.NET. I would like to be able to create a new table in an SQL Server database, matching the schema of my DataTable object. Is there any ADO.NET functionality that I can leverage to do this Or should I just go to plan B - construct and execute a CREATE TABLE command, using the properties of my DataTable to build the command - seems a bit clunky, with all the flash capability of ADO.NET. Thanks! Nick Tompson You can use SQL Server Management Objects to create tables in SQL Server using SMO. Here is an example I wrote particular ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System dotnet Framework 2.0 Beta Version

  Hello, When I install SQL2005, it installs dotnet 2.0.40607.42. When I try to install Foundation Server, it tells me that an earlier version of dotnet is installed; uninstall it first. When I do that, SQL fails to start. I then run the dotnet that comes with TFS, which is v2.0.50215.44. SQL still fails (entry points not found), and TFS won't install as SQL is not started ... Therefore, I appear to be in Catch-22 situation ... the versions of dotnet these 2 products require is different. If I'm missing something obvious here, a swift kick would be much appreciated! Thanks, James. I've answered my own question ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel automation in asp.net 2

  Hi How can I use excel automation within an asp.net 2 project with VB.Net I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and Office XP 2003 TIA Someone recently asked a very similar question about doing this with Word. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=287608&SiteID=1 You can do this but you will have to modify the permissions IIS runs under, reducing its security, and performance will be poor because each IIS thread will startup a much heavier Excel process in order to do its work. Running Excel to automate it is not a supported or recommended scenario. VSTO only supports accessing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Office 2000 has VB Installer / Configuration Problem after installing VB Express 2005

  I am an absolute beginner with VB. I installed VBE 2005 without a hitch but since doing so I have a problem with Word and Excel. Each time I launch them I get a message saying "Please wait while Windows configures Visual Basic Express 2005 ENU". If I let the installer run it chugs aways for several minutes. There is lots of hard drive activity and I notice MSIexec runs in the task list with lots of MSInnn.tmp entries (where nnn is a number). This happens every time I launch Word or Excel, but not PowerPoint. If I hit 'cancel' the installer window disappears and Word/Excel loads OK. I am running Office 2000 with SP3 installed and Wi ...Show All
