Hi Mike, Thanks very much for your reply. So the compacting is a default option which already be turned on in MSDE? How about SQL Server, the option is also turned on by default? Is there any way I can configure this option so that it can be performed when there is 10% free space? Many thanks for your help!!

Hi Guys, I have not known so much about the SQL Server and MSDE, so just rush to here to get help. Can any one tell me When records are deleted, is the space immediately compacted or when is it compacted? and Is the compacting configurable? How to set it up? Since I am using the SQL buddy For large number of records deleted (eg. Archival), is the database compacted immediately! Many thanks in advance! I am really appreciate your help.

hi guys, is it possible to use serialize to read a text file? i got text file which is just as: standard1 name1 standard2 name2 ...... how can i use serialize function in doc class to read it and store it seperately in two CString Arrays(CString standard[100], CString name[100])? thank u in advance!

hi, guys i need to use a CTypedPtrList templet structure in my program. here is my code: (CFreqStandard is a class which i derived from CObject and it's basically used to store some data) class CSDIgDoc : public CDocument { protected: // create from serialization only CSDIgDoc(); DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CSDIgDoc) protected: //CTypedPtrList FreqList; //CString StandardName; CString StandardName; CTypedPtrList m_FreqList;///////////////////// // Attributes public: // Operations public: // Overrides // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CSDIgDoc) public: virtual BOOL OnNewDocument(); virtual void Serialize(CArchive& ar); //}}AFX_VIRTUAL // Implementation public: virtual ~CSDIgDoc(); #ifdef _DEBUG virtual void AssertValid() const; virtual void Dump(CDumpContext& dc) const; #endif protected: // Generated message map functions protected: //{{AFX_MSG(CSDIgDoc) //}}AFX_MSG DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() }; but when i compile i always get an error in the line CTypedPtrList m_FreqList; it shows that "'CTypedPtrList' : missing storage-class or type specifiers" what is the problem in this case?:(( Thank you very much in advance

i hv used inline assemble which hv been showed below: do{ for(int test=0;test<5000;test++);// reach the high output to send a read data properly __asm{//the normal case which used to transfer the data ///* mov dx,portaddress mov bx,data mov cx,i //need to shift it to the large register bt bx,cl jc Current_Bit2_Is_1 Current_Bit2_Is_0: /* mov al,00000010b mov cx,10h loop_label7: out dx,al loop loop_label7*/ mov al,11111101b mov cx,25h loop_label8: out dx,al loop loop_label8 mov al,11111111b mov cx,35h loop_label9: out dx,al loop loop_label9 mov al,11111101b mov cx,25h loop_label7: out dx,al loop loop_label7 jmp END2 //jump without any condition Current_Bit2_Is_1: mov al,11111101b mov cx,25h loop_label1: out dx,al loop loop_label1 mov al,11111001b mov cx,35h loop_label2: out dx,al loop loop_label2 mov al,11111011b mov cx,35h loop_label3: out dx,al loop loop_label3 mov al,11111001b mov cx,25h loop_label4: out dx,al loop loop_label4 mov al,11111101b mov cx,25h loop_label5: out dx,al loop loop_label5 END2: } for(test=0;test<7000;test++); __asm{ mov dx,portaddress mov al,11111101b out dx,al } i--; }while(i>=0); if i just use like this then no problem. but when i use inline assemble in another part of my program, it always make the program hang. if(i==-1){ __asm{ mov dx,portaddress mov bx,data mov al,00000010b mov cx,10h loop_labelA: out dx,al loop loop_labelA mov al,00000000b mov cx,15h loop_labelB: out dx,al loop loop_labelB mov al,00000010b mov cx,10h loop_labelC: out dx,al loop loop_labelC } } this one is just under the while statement.....but it always make the program hang. i really dont know what is the problem in here. is there anyone know how to solve it?:doh: thank u in advance!!!!!:)

now i hv found the reason for the error, the machine is 32 bit, so the int is actually 32 bit long, to get 16 bits, we need to declare it as "short int" :-D thank U Prakash

en, never mind. Thank U very much for ur help =) really appriciate ur help :-D
