• Smart Device Development problems with WriteString and CStdioFile

  Hi everybody, while I am using file.WriteString(); with CStdioFile there is an error nobody can explain in other forums and discussion boards: error C2039: 'WriteString' : is not a member of 'CStdioFile' c:\...\mfc\include\afx.h(1487) : see declaration of 'CStdioFile' I don't understand because every other things works well with CStdioFile (for example Open or CFile::modeWrite etc.).

• SQL Server The 4000 character limit for expressions

  I am building rather large SQL statements using expressions and I am about to hit the 4000 character limit. First, what were the reasons for setting such a low limit With it in place you are forced to come up with other solutions, but perhaps that was the intention. Speaking of limits, what are the limits for storing a value in a string that is defined in a package configuration file What are the limits when creating a string within a script task and then use it to set a string variable in the package What are the limits when using a string value as an input parameter to an Execute SQL Task using OLE DB Do these differ depending on the co ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows Service that watches the keyboard

  Hi there, I have a working windows application which implements a global-system-hook-class to watch the keyboard and log the pressed keys. The statistics are used for language analysis. In order to automate this process a little bit more, I want to write a windows service which does the same monitoring. I worked with servies before, but last time, I used a timer, because the service was supposed to work in a certain interval. This time, I want the service to work permanent. My windows application instanciates the globalHookClass, registers the conserning event and then listens for the keys; system wide! How can something like this b ...Show All

• .NET Development How to retrieve info (messages) from the SQL Execution

  Hello. First, I hope I'm posting in the right forum. I'm developing av .NET application using ADO.NET. Everytime you execute SQL Queries the database returns information like "(1 row(s) affected)" etc, but I haven't found a way to get this info from the ADO.NET tools - eg. the SqlDataReader or OdbcDataReader. I need this information to get data returned by STATISTICS IO and STATISTICS TIME (ref http://www.vbcity.com/forums/topic.asp tid=29686 ) so I can make a small benchmarking app. I know about execution plans etc but these isn't realtime.
