  I have an issue and I need some help. Suppose the classic pattern of document review: I have built yet an asp.net application that is over a state machine workflow that follow the flow of the document review.

• Visual C# C# and MFC

  I'm just wondering if you will be able to use mfc in c#.. I'm new to C# and evaluating if it is possible to port old MFC programs to C# compiler and then program new UI under C#. 1. I heard that C# is good to do UI program, is it true 2. Is C# program portable everywhere 3. Is C# supports MFC programs Thanks There is a program call RC Converter (dudelabs.com) that will port the UI portion of an MFC program to C#. I personally like Windows Forms better than using MFC for creating a UI. C# does not support MFC programs. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS IDE crashes when debugging in managed or mixed mode

  I have a c++ project that uses a .NET 1.1 assembly as a com object. It is loaded with CoCreateInstance. If I debug in native mode it looks like everything works okey, in managed mode the application crashes with no errors or anything, and in mixed mode Visual Studio crashes. Something that looks somewhat suspisous to me is that it looks like .NET framework 2.0 assemblies and debug symbols are loaded. For example: 'MyApp.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\fusion.dll', No symbols loaded. 'MyApp.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\msvcr80.dll', PDB format is obsolete. 'MyApp.exe': Loaded 'C:\WI ...Show All

• SQL Server Package hangs on parallel "upserts"

  I have data flow tasks, one which validates the import file and one which processes the import file if the validation passed. The validation runs and pushes the three row types to three different recordset destinations. When I enter the processing data flow task, I have three parallel trees processing each recordset saved in the previous task. I'm using a script component to generate the rows which are then sorted and merged with the production database to find existing records. Based on this, I split to an OLE DB command (running an UPDATE command) or OLE DB destination (to simply insert the records.) In this particular case, all records ar ...Show All

• SQL Server How can i insert a default row if it doenst exists already?

  Hi, I am currently loading dimensions using a Sql Server Destination and i was wondering if i can create a middle step to insert a certain row so i would identify in my dimension the undefined records... I know i can do it with sql statement but i was wondering if there is a better way. Best Regards, Luis Simoes Would this not be part of the fact load, you wish to infer the dim member from the fact data when there is not already a matching dim member You would use either the lookup or join to detect the rows in the fact that do not have a corresponding dim member. Normally I would expect a lookup to be better for the job as th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Determine which link label was clicked

  I have 10 linklabels and all have events connected to a sub. When a link is clicked, it will open a form whose controls are created based on which link was clicked. So instead of using a seperate sub event for each linklabel, I put them all to one sub. But, I cannot figure out how to tell which linklabel was clicked. Any ideas The first parameter passed into your event is the link that was clicked. You can check which one it is with =, or you can cast it and use properties such as Text or Tag to work out which one it was. ...Show All

• .NET Development Connecting problem

  Hi. I am having problems with the TCPClient Class in .NET (1.1) If i connect to the server app from either mobile device or the Windows Client application, it of course connects successfully assuming the server is up and running. However, if i quit/stop the service of the server app and try to connect from the client application - you would expect for it not to work. However, it does! It seems to connect but the problem starts when you send messages to the connection destination (when the destination app is closed/service has been stopped) When sending the data to the Server (when its offline) it will of course throw an exception wh ...Show All
