I just want to argue.... bullshit. As I already stated, I questioned what you said because I have read tons of stuff like this[^] and it just does not jive with what you are saying. Maybe some guy that wrote a article published on Byte.com is wrong and you are right. How the hell am I supposed to know that. You want to get belligerent do it with someone else, I don't need any crap from you. led mike

If you really know nothing about web development, I would start with a books that just deals with the basics of html and css. You need a good foundation in that before you can start doing actual web development. I recommend this book: http://www.compman.co.uk/scripts/browse.asp?ref=684251[^] Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

You are the best. Thanks.

To clarify your question, what is the form of your plot, a hard-copy printout or an electronic file? If saved in an electronic file, is it a raw data format or image format such as BMP, PDF, JPEG, etc? - It's easier to make than to correct a mistake.

You may want to envelope your calls to add an item (and remove the first item when the list control is full) between a pair of SuspendLayout() and ResumeLayout() calls. To further increase performance, you may want to consider deleting the first n items (and not just the first item) when the list control is full. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Enterprise manager works through an intimate knowledge of how SQL Server works internally. It cannot make any assumptions about how SQL Server 2005 works and will therefore not connect to it.

Thanks for the good idea. Unfortunately, mine aren't COM based. But I've discovered that at least part of my problem is the C++ runtime used by the wrapped classes. I need to get vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft and install it. That got things running completely on one of the four machines where they weren't working. The other 3 still don't work. But I've opened a support incident with Microsoft, so perhaps on Monday I'll know why.

Ah well, I'm not a C++ guru so there ;P Ed

Thanks for the web site, but unfortunately it uses some product other than Microsoft's WinSNMP. It is interesting in that it claims that to use informs, you just set a flag in the outgoing trap that says it is an inform (and then the document glosses over what it means by handling the acknowledgement). But it doesn't say who decides what goes in the acknowledgement, how the sender of the trap knows that a given acknowledgement is for a certain trap (since it may have sent hundreds of traps all awaiting acknowledgement) or anything else. Thanks, but I need WinSNMP info.

Thanks to everyone who replied and for your good suggestions. I think it is mildly amusing, or at least confusing, that some of the books people here cited as best-loved on this subject were panned as worst-of-class in reader reviews in amazon.com, and thos books with the highest reader ratings on the subject on amazon.com were mostly not mentioned here. In general, I avoid buying books rated poorly on amazon.com, but that isn't a sure bet. I'm sure the truth is that for any given excellent book, there are some people who hate it, and for any given horrible book, there are some people who love it. I also know for a fact that some of the glowing book ratings on amazon.com are posted by the books' authors or their associates. So caveat emptor. Thanks again.

When I try, I get continually prompted to enter a user/password, and no matter what I enter, including Administrator with its correct password (same on the two systems), I get a message back that it is invalid I recommend you to check for 2 things: 1. Make sure that your administrator account have the same password on each machine. 2. Did you make any change to the security tab or share tab of your C drive property dialog box? Make change to the permission of user account might affect your permission to access the resource over the netowrk. Good luck A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step.

Unfortunately, I don't use MFC in my coding projects, so my advice will be somewhat incomplete. We get this problem alot in Interop operations when passing data (often strings or structs) to native pre-.NET C++ functions in compiled DLLs. The basic problem is the way the Interop marshaler processes the data; the default behavior has limited applicability with user-defined data structures. This is particularly a problem in COM, as many of the data structures are defined as types that have no compatible type in .NET. The solution in .NET is to use attributes to control the marshaling behavior of the Interop when the default behavior is inappropriate, as in this case. I suggest that you review the MarshalAs(UnmanagedType) attribute documentation over at MSDN. In all honesty, I don't what the correct usage would be, but, hopefully you won't have to write a custom marshal routine (because it's such a pain in the ass). Try reading this: Deafult Behavior for Strings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcondefaultmarshalingforstrings.asp[^] ..or, this, the MarshalAs(UnmanagedType) Enumeration: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemruntimeinteropservicesunmanagedtypeclasstopic.asp[^]
