Create A New Dataconnection To Point At Test Database?

Feb 17, 2011

I have been left to maintain some vb.net applications - all of which utilize SQL server 2000 as the backend db. I need to change a report in one of the apps to include some newly added fields fromt eh database. I added the new fields to the specific table in the "testing" SQL server database which is on a completely different server. I am creating a new data source and have selected the database icon and then selected a connection string that clearly points to the test database on the test machine. I then selected the table containing the two new fields but for some strange reason, the two new fields I added are still not showing up in the list there! I have checked and double checked and it's as if it's still pointing to the live database on the live server where these fields do not even exist yet.

How To Create Reparse Point In A File

Jun 21, 2009

How would I manually create a reparse point in a file and do all that stuff. I read up on how but it didn't make enough sence for me to comprehend on how would I visually show where to create the reparse point. I understood that it had to do with storing part of the file in memory for fast access and giving it a name to access it faster.[URL]..

Tool That Will Have -at Some Point- To Create A Torrent

Jun 14, 2009

I'm writing a tool that will have -at some point- to create a torrent. Now the tool is big and 'creating the torrent' is only a small part of it so I thought I can use a command-line utility that creates torrents but sadly it seems that there are no such tools available for windows ( found some for linux ). What are my options here? Should I just write a tool that creates torrents out of directories (I don't even know how a torrent file should be structured)? Or is there a way to control a GUI-Based application using my VB.NET program? ( Guess only C can do that, right? )

Create Point Array From Values In Text Box?

Jun 28, 2011

in order to create fancy custom end caps on the ends of a line, a structure like the following can be used:

Dim pts() As Point = {
New Point(-2, -2),
New Point(0, 0),

[Code]....

be used to create the same point array. I can see splitting these values into an integer array but how would these in turn be placed in a point array of whatever size is defined by the text values so they can be converted to end points of a line that is developed as values are changed in the text box.

How can I do that? and what is the object or component i must use to insert the text. Finally, if I want to make it multiple lines how to determine the enter key pressed by the user and how to move the cursor to the next line?

Create A New Battery From Scratch While Using The Old Code As A Reference Point?

May 13, 2012

I'm currently starting a new job in which I will be working on some coding in the future and need some advice on some good places to start so I can learn this correctly. Essentially we need to bring VB4 code over to the new VB.net language and I will be tasked with this. The project consists of a large battery of tests for psychiatric patients consisting of mostly multiple choice questions presented one at a time - since VB4 isn't very compatible, I think I will create a new battery from scratch while using the old code as a reference point.

I started creating the code this weekend for fun and am really enjoying it. However, a huge problem has been the abandonment of control arrays in the new language... by the time I got to creating my first questionnaire I'm stumped and can't follow the old code. Clearly I'm not ready to tackle such a large project with no experience and need to start from scratch; who would have thought .

The reason why I'm here is not to ask you to help me with my work. What I'm wondering is if any of you have any cool advice of great places to start learning the language (books, websites, etc). The amount of literature is very overwhelming so I thought I would ask some people with experience for tips. If any of you have stumbled across learning material with emphasis on coding that would be useful in the design of questionnaires or multiple choice exams, it would be particularly useful.

So far my starting place is Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step with Michael Halvorson, it seems good at a glance in the sense that it couples theory with practice but I'm already sure I'll need a little more.

Region.GetRegionScans() - Create A Routing Somewhere In The World, From Point A To B?

Sep 17, 2010

I'm having a bit of a problem with a loop I made. So the setup is as following:We can create a routing somewhere in the world, from point A to B...and the program draws it on a worldmap.then I open a file with 300 zones in all over that country and he also draws these zones (it can go from polygons to circles. Some of these polygons are really small...when I click on a button I only want to see the zones which are connected to that routing...
So I use following script:

[code]...

this works fine, but not for the very small zones...I think when he uses GetRegionScans from those small intersections...the RectangleF is so small that he thinks it's empty.

C# - How To Test User Permissions To Database

Aug 21, 2009

I have a simple .NET 3.5 app for changing some database fields using an ODBCDataSet. Now the Feature Creep is asking if I can hide or show tabs and other controls based on the user's database permissions. Ideally, I would like to control the permissions only on the SQL Server using Windows user groups, and the app would not have any built-in authentication or permission system--it simply uses the logged-in user's Windows account for the database connection. So thus it would have to "test" the permissions to determine whether or not to show the tabs for the user. For example, if they have "write" permissions to a certain table, then the tab for editing it would be visible; if not, the tab never loads for them. How can I list or test the user's permissions to the ODBCDataSet?

Unit Test And SQL Database Connection

Jun 3, 2009

I am having a problem with a unit test I have created. First time doing this so I am not sure why I am getting this error [code]Test method ETDS_Unit_Tests.LoginTest.ValidateUserNameTest threw exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server).This is the same connection that my software is using, and the software runs fine, only the unit test is failing. What I am doing wrong? It Seems to fail one time for each datarow in the table.Also, I am using a Linq Query in the method that I being tested. I believe that this may be what is causing my error.

So I want to know if there is a way to test if the database is locked before I try to open the connection... because the long 5-10 second pause is annoying.

VS 2010 : Search For Text Within A String (Starting Point And Ending Point)?

Dec 31, 2010

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.
