• Visual C++ inline function

  I have a set of functions that I'd like to make inline using VC++ 2003. The functions are compiled sparately from the calling function. I've attempted by placing inline before the function name and in the prototype statement but the function is not found. Do I need to use IMPORT, extern or something like that I can't seem to find an example anywhere to emulate. Thanks, RON C FUNCTION: inline int index_4 ( int jstr, int kstr, int lstr, int i, int j, int k, int l ) { int index; index = ( i + j + k ) * lstr + ( i + j ) * kstr + i * jstr + l; return( index ); } PROTOTYPE (in another function): inline int index ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing Values & Receiving Events between Forms created on separate threads

  I'm trying to pass values between/among forms created on separate threads..How is it done I believe i need to use a 'Delegate' but i do not know where to put it. I always get the "cross-thread" error. I have looked over the web a gazillion times, even MSDN, etc.. but they don't have a sample for this case. Or is there WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH: **I use "Imports System.Threading", not the background worker for multithreading.** THE SCENARIO: Basically, i have a SYNCHRONOUS ActiveX Control that, when running, freezes its owner form intermittently for the duration of around 5-10 seconds.

• SQL Server Transferring table data from an ODBC database to a SQL Express database

  I am a SQL newbie.  I have two connected databases that I work with in Visual Web Developer Express or Visual Basic Express.  One is an ODBC master database that contains much table data and the other is my new destination sql express database.  Where I was once very comfortable using the query grid in Access to accomplish almost anything with tables, it seems like now it is much more difficult.  Can someone offer me some simplified advice on how to easily transfer the table data in the ODBC database tables to the sql express database.  I have read sections on BCP and Bulk Insert but so far I have ...Show All

• Visual C# Read-only wrappers for derived classes

  Can anyone point me to a good method for implementing read-only wrappers around a derived class rather than, for example, a simple collection What I mean is that I have class A which inherits from class B. B is not abstract, so can and will be instantiated on its own. I need to be able to create read-only versions of A and B. The only way I've come up is to have a class ReadOnlyB : B, blocking writes and forwarding reads. That's fine. But for A, if I implement a class ReadOnlyA : A, it has to override not just the members of A, but those of B as well - not nice, especially in a hierarchy 3 or 4 deep. Got to be a better way Thanks.

  myDataGridView.DataSource = myDataSet; DataTable newTable = new DataTable (name); //some stuff here to populate newTable myDataSet.Tables.Add(newTable); myDataGridView.Refresh(); myDataGridView.Update(); Why won't this code cause the DataGridView to display the data contained in the DataSet I have also tried forcing the DataSource property to the newTable but this did not help either. Hi, Did you do the databinding via the IDE Wizard If so I think you may do a little more job to load the new datatable.

• SQL Server Jump to Report - misdirection

  I have created a baseline folder with several reports, which I use as a "link to" from production folders for a variety of departments. Moreover, I have used a "Jump To Report" configuration as a drill-through to another report. The problem is that when I click on the link it executes the report in the baseline folder versus the report in the production department folder. How do I direct the execution to the appropriate production department folder(s) Thanks in advance for any assistance. The link to the drillthrough report can either be relative to the current report, for ex: detailsr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Where is "press any key to continue."?

  I create my program by click File - New - Project from existing code. The program I created does not have "Press any key to continue" at the end to accept the key from keyboard. I want to make my program to have "Press any key to continue" at the end without adding any code. What can I do You can't - if you want your program to do something, you need to write the code to do it. Do you need help with that, or were you just hoping for that in general to happen by itself so you didn't need to write it You could always create a new wizard for a console app that asks for a key press at th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Delay Activity and ASP.NET

  I have a workflow that contains two HandleExternalEvent activities and a Delay activity all within a Listen activity. Obviously, when the Listen activity is hit, the workflow instance goes into an idle state. My intent is that if either event is not raised to the workflow within the specified timespan on the delay, an alternate path should be taken. The workflow never comes out of idle after the elapsed delay has passed. When I fire an event to the same workflow, the workflow instance is deserialized from the persistence store and starts up at the appropriate HandleExternalEvent activity without any problem. The workflow instance is hoste ...Show All
