• .NET Development MDAC SDK Conformance testing & .NET!

  Hi there, I have recently upgraded to .NET 2003 and would like to use the OLE DB conformance testing tools, supplied with MDAC 2.8 to test a writable OLE DB provider. The trouble is I cant build the tools as they make use of ANSI C++ and obsolete header files. The documentation only includes directions for VC5 & 6 users and no information for .NET users. Are there any conformance testing tools that will work with .NET or is it possible to obtain pre-built test modules for LTM regards chris Well as no microsoft representative has put me right, i'd say that my speculations are c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customizing TableLayoutPanelDesigner

  Hello, I'm developing a custom control that is to be used in a custom forms designer that I created. The control should have exactly two cells behaving like cells in a TableLayoutPanel, so I thought I'd build my control as an extension to TableLayoutPanel. Now I need to customize its designer, since I do not need all the design-time options that TableLayoutPanelDesigner offers. Problem is: TableLayoutPanelDesigner is an internal class, and can therefore not be inherited! Now I was wondering what my options are... I was thinking about developing a custom designer from scratch (extending from ParentControlDesigner). How to achieve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System All Unit Tests abort immediately

  I've been using the TestManager extensively in Studio 2005 Team Version for months running dozens of unit tests as I develop. Recently, every time I try to run a unit test *in Debug mode*, it aborts immediately with no message. When I open the test results, all I get is this: Test Name: <test name> Result: Aborted Duration: 00:00:00 Computer Name... Start Time: 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM End Time: (the real date time) That's it. Not a word more. And ALL unit tests are doing this, even ones that used to run just fine. If I just run them, they run fine, but I absolutely cannot run them in Debug mode! Very bizzarr ...Show All

• SQL Server Weird formatting problem

  Hello all, I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly: SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecords WHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05' ORDER BY FILENO DESC It returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051. SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYE ...Show All
