Windows Forms Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project)
Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project) Hi, Currently, we have an InstallShield project that creates a setup.exe that only installs 20 or so merge modules. It does nothing else. We then have our own custom, C# Windows Form application that installs our software applications. It does this by copying files, creating registry keys, etc. So what I'm trying to do is get rid of the separate InstallShield setup.exe. We want one setup application that installs both the merge modules we need and our software applications. Is there any way to run/install merge modules from ...Show All

SQL Server Connect to SQLServer behind a fire wall.
Is it possible to connect to SQLServer which sits behind a firewall I have a VB 6 application using OLEDB. How about with .net appliction. Yes, you just need the right port/protocols open.

.NET Development .Net program execution is very slow
Hi, Suddenly in my system the .net program execution became very very slow . It is taking lot of time for step by step execution in the debug mode. Also the programs which used to execute in 30 sec earlier are taking about 20 minutes to execute. All other applications like MS-office and others are working fine. Please inform how to take corrective steps in this regard. Thanks SM What is the CPU utilization like I would suggest that you also monitor the GC gen-0, 1 and 2 performance counters for your offending applications. Also monitor bytes in all heaps. you may have a heap fragmentation p ...Show All
SQL Server PerfMon questions
[reposted from the NG] 1. What's the difference between a buffer, a flat buffer and a private buffer 2. I assume that the number of buffers used to store data-flow data can be calculated by: [Data flow buffers] = [Buffer in use] - [Private buffers in use] Is that correct 3. Buffer memory is described as: "The amount of memory buffers, of all types, in use" Would that not be better as "The amount of memory in use by all [types of] buffers" Its a subtle difference but, I think, less ambiguous. The first statement I read as meaning the number of buffers in use...which I don't think this is. -Jamie Yeah I think so. If I have any othe ques ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF in Feb CTP still breaking wherever!
The last time it threw exceptions when deserializing the BAML left and right trying to run compiled applications, if I was lucky, I managed it to run once, if it was the first WPF application to run on my system. The reason where was that it was a known bug related to non-SSE2 CPUs. Meanwhile I upgraded my machine to an Athlon64 X2, instead of exceptions, the application is dieing now due to simple breakpoints. I still only manage to run it once, in total two times, once on the x86 runtime and once on the x64 one. There are no breakpoints in my project, so they must be inside WPF. Why is THIS now happening It's really getting frustating. It ...Show All

Visual C++ _bstr_t question
How do I do case conversion for _bstr_t Are there any functions available I looked up MSDN, did not find much help there. Appreciate any help, S _bstr_t exists mainly to provide conversion between ANSI and Unicode strings. It doesn't do much else, you'd have to take the string in whatever format you want and put it into a string wrapper that does tolower, toupper, etc. From memory, std::string needs a function object to do this, but CString will do it. ...Show All
