I have to deal with the same situation here at work, but for the fact that it won't be over at the end of the semester... I think the advice about 'real life' is very good: the working life as taught in the schools has nothing to do with what really happens next. And I was in the very same situation than you for a project in my school, went through the same questions, and I finally decided to do the project by myself. The other student was drunk every other night, so not much of an help. He was eventually kicked off from the school. So, basically, just ignore him. You'll have tons of other situations later in which dumb people will be getting praise for your work, so be prepared. ~RaGE(); I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb

I do; this is not all code. You've prolly got drawing-events assigned, check out what happens if you put them into comments. Or paste enough code to reproduce the problem on the board :) Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: if you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

You can modify the configuration during runtime. However whether it uses it to pick up assemblies is a different point. Myself I don't see the utility. To create a plugin system you need to load from somewhere dynamically. That is the initial path. There isn't much point in having the framework (the loader) to provide options that require the plugin to follow a loading scheme that for most plugins shouldn't matter. So if the primary assembly is in director 'Bdir' then the plugin will probably have dependent assemblies in that directory and no other. And the standard assembly load mechanism will find those because the primary assembly was loaded from that. But further note that the point of configuration is specifically so that users can modify it. And a plugin system is pretty much by it very nature suggesting that users are going to be responsible for it. So either the system is simple to begin with or one must assume that the users are intelligent enough to deal with it.

That is how temp tables work, as soon as the process that created the temp table completes and returns (exits scope) all temporary objects such as temp tables and variables get cleaned up (ie dropped) What are you trying to accomplish with the temp table? Return results to the SSIS package? I am guessing here that you are looking to parse the results of the stored proceedures in the SSIS package. -> In your SSIS pacakge -> Execute SQL Task -> General tab, Change ResultSet to 'Full Result Set' -> Result Set tab, 'Result Name' = 0 and 'Variable Name' = User::User_Defined (Variable of type object) -> Change stored proceedure ALTER PROCEDURE test ... -- Create a temp table to house the run info of the procs -- CREATE TABLE #Results(msg VARCHAR(200), LogTime SMALLDATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE()) -- Start time -- INSERT INTO #Results ("Start first child proc") -- Execute the stored proc EXEC sp_Test_First_Child_Proc -- Completion Time -- INSERT INTO #Results ("Completed first child proc") -- Start time -- INSERT INTO #Results ("Start second child proc") -- Execute the stored proc EXEC sp_Test_Second_Child_Proc -- Completion Time -- INSERT INTO #Results ("Completed second child proc") -- Ect. ... -- Select the results from the temp table, this will return the result back to the SSIS package -- -- This is the important step, if you dont as a last step select the results out for return then SSIS will never the them and when the proceedure completes the #Results table will be dropped automaticly -- SELECT msg, LogTime FROM #Results Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Ok, cool. Glad to assist if you should need further assistance. :cool:

You understood it perfectly. I had been looking at BCP and tried to format it correctly (from the command prompt, not sqlcmd), but it bugged on my nested stored procedures. Haven't looked at SSIS yet, gonna do that now. But I'm getting off-topic. You answered my question.

Another way is to create button window with id. button1 = ::CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LEFT,L"button",L"Button1", WS_CHILD ,50,50,50,50,parent,(HMENU)100,::GetModuleHandle(NULL),NULL); button2 = ::CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LEFT,L"button",L"Button2", WS_CHILD ,125,50,50,50,parent,(HMENU)200,::GetModuleHandle(NULL),NULL); Now you can distinguish which is which. case WM_COMMAND: if ((UINT)HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) { switch (int)LOWORD(wParam): { case 100: Triggered(L"1"); //Shows a messagebox. break; case 200: Triggered(L"2"); //Shows a messagebox. break; } } break;

BCP is tricky at best.

What you saw is called 'greedy' matching. The better regex engines support non-greedy matching operators, which behave a bit more intuitively, even if they make the regex unreadable! Cheers, Peter Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994.

"The real problem is that if it were to become popular, the url is rather unfriendly" Interesting question because nowadays many people do not need to remember urls as they did in the past - google takes care of urls. I have some freeware that sees +-500 downloads a day(from my site). The vast majority of hits are through other sites that provide links to my site - and many sites copy my download and host it themselves. So a friendly url is not necessarily vital... However in the end I think having a separate domain name for your software/products just adds that little bit more of a professional feel to it...

I can't say for sure what's causing it, but I was curious about something in your code: public void Commando(object obj) { while (true) { Graphics x = this.CreateGraphics(); x.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; x.DrawLine(pen, new Point(0, 0), new Point( MousePosition.X - this.Location.X, MousePosition.Y - this.Location.Y)); this.Refresh(); } } you set it up as a parameterized void, and you passed it true, but then you never actually check the object. obj does absolutely nothing in this example. I don't think you're going to be able to get away from the flicker the way you're doing it. Why, can't you just put the code into the MouseMove? It will flicker a tiny bit while you're moving, but when the mouse is stopped, no flicker. private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.Refresh(); Graphics x = this.CreateGraphics(); x.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; x.DrawLine(pen, new Point(0, 0), new Point( MousePosition.X - this.Location.X, MousePosition.Y - this.Location.Y)); } Oh, and I modified your code to be more thread friendly: public void Commando(object obj) { while (true) { Graphics x = this.CreateGraphics(); x.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; x.DrawLine(pen, new Point(0, 0), new Point( MousePosition.X - this.Location.X, MousePosition.Y - this.Location.Y)); if (this.InvokeRequired) { RefreshMe = RefreshForm; this.Invoke(RefreshMe); } } } private delegate void RefreshFormDel(); private RefreshFormDel RefreshMe; private void RefreshForm() { this.Refresh(); } private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) { if (t != null) if (t.IsAlive) t.Abort(); }
