• .NET Development Enumerating ports in use?

  Hi, Is there a way to enumerate ports in use Thanks in advance, Rana It is often overlooked that a simple list of ports in use is not that useful. A given port can exist actively in multiple tuples <Protocol, local IP, localPort, remoteIP, remote port> Eventhough is hard to believe You can have two tcp connections from same local ip and local port to the same remote address as long as you connect to a different remote port. A better thing to consider is why would you want a list of ports in use ...Show All

• SQL Server JDBC: DatabaseMetaData.getURL() returns jdbc:sqljdbc://

  Hi, I'm using: Microsoft SQL Server 9.00.1399 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0.809.102 Executing the DatabaseMetaData.getURL() method when database is connected returns "jdbc:sqljdbc://". The documentation for getURL() specifies that this URL is returned only when accessing pre SQL Server 2005 versions while when connected to 2005 it should return the correct URL (ex: jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.105:1223;databaseName=test) My question is why I don't get the correct URL as I connect to a 2005 database (Another related question is why a proper URL is not returned even when connected to a pre 2005 database ) Regards Roger Minq Software ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bindingsource Filter Problem

  When using the bindingsource filter I run into trouble if columns have a certain character in their names. e.g. "Part #" or even "Part Number" gives me problems, becuase of the reserved word Number. Is there anyway to encapsulate the column names in the filter string so they are looked at as only column names instead of filter commands. I have tried surrounding them with  ' ' and " "  but neither work. Thanks for any help Try @ or [ ]. Like this:   @"Part #"    or    @"Part Number"   or   [Part #]    or   [Part Number]   ...Show All

• Windows Forms passing dataset reference to another form.

  Hello, I am trying to pass a reference to a dataset that is being used in my main form to a modal dialog form. The form is being used to add/edit records in a database. I would like to use the exact same dataset in the other form, as opposed to working with a copy of the dataset. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks, Adam You could put a property on the Modal Dialog form that is a DataSet property but if you want to use the DataSet as a ref instead, then you could do something like this: In the modal form: private DataSet _dataSet = null ; public void SetDataSet( ref Da ...Show All

• .NET Development Identity from Access

  Hi, I have been searching around for a solution to this problem with not much luck. From what I have read, I don't like the answer, but I thought I would check just in case. I have been given the impression it is impossible to retrieve the identity value from an Access database after an insert. I have been purely using the dataset designer and using the tableadpater methods I have created in the designer as I am still getting to grips with the whole "visual" experience. I created a "select @@identity" query in the designer and ignored the warnings. It actually compiled and run, but as expected it returns 0 all the time. I ...Show All
