• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I know if count is counting up or counting down

  I have a MCU (PIC) in which I'm using to send serial information (0-255 ASCII) out to my VB program. How can I find out if the data is counting up or counting down.

• Smart Device Development process start notification

  Hello, I am programming for ppc2003 in vs2005 C++ (so, native code). I would like my program to be notified when an other process starts. Of course I can periodically poll the running processes but this takes processor resources and might not be fast enough when I poll i.e. every 5 seconds. Is it possible to get this kind of notification on a pocket pc I dont think there are any notification for process starts and stuff. You can use some sort of inter process communication like named pipes, signals or message queue, have the starting process to notify your program by writing something on a message que ...Show All

• .NET Development Sql Server Database

  I have doing Database related application,in that i am having ten rows in that one of the field is name field and in name field all rows contain the same  values.I want to delete only the fourth row,we should use only the name field to delete that particular record. Please give the valuable answer for my question. If I correctly understand you, then by definition what you wish to do is not possible. To perform any action on one specific row, you must have some form of unique key by which to identify the target row. If all rows have the same value in the name column, then the name column alone cannot be a unique key. If you ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource's AddNew fired automatically if no object in collection

  I have a form holding a list of data objects for the user to browse and select to edit.  The data objects come from a CollectionBase-derived object that implements IBindingList (in fact, it's BusinessCollectionBase of CSLA .NET Framework).  This collection is bound to a BindingSource , then the BindingSource is bound to a BindingNavigator and a DataGridView . When this form is loaded, the collection class' static method will read the data from the database and return a collection instance.   If some data objects are loaded into the collection, everything is ok and the BindingSource's AddingNew event will not be fired automati ...Show All

• SQL Server Is SSIS slower than DTS????!!!!!!

  I am new to SSIS and probably doing some mistake while transferring data from oracle source to oracle destination.   Please guide me..   In our project we need to transfer nearly 80 GB data from old system (Oracle 9i) to new system (Oracle 10 G Release 2). To do this exercise we are testing and comparing performance and cost effectiveness between different tools like SSIS, DTS and SQL * Loader (oracle built in tool).   We have selected one table, which is having 40 fields with 3 million records. The destination table is also having same structure.     Surprisingly SSIS is giving slower performance ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How stable is the current Beta 1?

  I'm going to be kicking the tires on this fantastic workflow framework for a potential replacement of our corporate workflow management system when those goes gold.  I would like some measure of confidence that if I start coding to these API's that they will not be in too much flux...i.e. entire namespace deprications.  I realize that is asking a lot...but from what I have used thus far of the framework it looks like exactly what we need. We currently have an enterprise licience for BizTalk but as you all know BizTalk does not handle human work flow very well.  BizTalk will be reserved for our EAI aspects and I can clearly see ...Show All

• Windows Forms Missing buttons on a Windows Forms Form

  Hi, I'm working with C# windows forms for more than 3 years but now I'm facing a strange problem: One of the customers reported that he can not see the 2 buttons (Add and Delete button) on the initial form of a simple c# application we provided for him. This is a really simple form with a tab control and 3 tab pages. The 2 buttons are on the first tab page and the customer says that he can not see them. This is strange because We don't have any code about making these buttons visible/invisible. Is there any known bug about this Like the bug in Mcaffe virus scan that causes blank listboxes Thanks in advance, Shadi ...Show All
