• Visual C++ reading binary data using fseek and fread

  I'm trying to get computer model in C originally written for Unix to run under VC++. It to reads a binary input file with climate data (precipitation) for every time step (year). For every year 12 items are read (1 for each month). The first two years are read correctly, but for the third year only 7 items are read. After that, for some years the data is read correctly, for others not. When read with MatLab for example all years are read correctly. The problem does not occur when the program is compiled with the GNU compiler for example, so I assume the problem is in the difference between the compilers. Below I have 'extracted' the pa ...Show All

• SQL Server Time Dim Linking in Data - best practice?

  Hi All, After some advise here on how best to tackle an issue when trying to link one my my fact tables into the time dimension at the dsv level. I'm looking to split the date down into D, M, Y, but the date comes from a string field and is stored yyyymmdd so 20060206 for today. I've tried linking in a view, however it wont allow me to do this due to the data type, as the Month_Number field in the time dim, is an int and mine is a string. If I then try and cast the view's field as an int, it then moans about a MaxLength field when you try and refresh the field changes in the DSV. I'm now looking at creating an Insert trigger t ...Show All

• Visual C++ AMD64 compilation with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2

• Windows Forms ClickOnce and Apps that dynamically load assemblies without knowoing in advance what they are

  I have an application (VS2003 currently) that dynamically loads dll's which contain data entry forms,  reports and other classes for a variety of tests. Each test has a separate dll. The dlls are not compiled into the application, but dynamically loaded.   Here is how that works: Each dll is named with a pattern that includes the test name: eg FieldTest_ABC.dll or FieldTest_XYZ.dll. Based on the user selecting which test to load up, the test's name (eg "ABC") is passed into a routine which checks for the existince of file FieldTest_ABC.dll and if it does exist, loads it up using reflection.
