Oddly enough, it began working. [edit: Now it stopped working. After adding a unti test, I can no longer step into the source code from the accessor object]. Very annoying. [FINAL Edit: solved] I came across a similar issue here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/556756[^] Way down at the bottom of the comments: 5/11/2010 at 7:24 AM ..solution: "add a breakpoint to the code." Works everytime now.

Yes, the method names should be descriptive. In my experience the ones who don't use descriptive method names also don't bother to write good comments. Also, sometimes, even a good method name can use a little extra description now and then. ;) :) Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Oh, be nice... It's at least 6.22 :) And I still like calling it Weven, because that means the next one will be either "Weight" or "Wight" (Most commonly used in RPGs to refer to a type of undead creature). So we'd either laugh at how bloated "Weight" is, or make Pythonesque jokes about how "Wight" isn't quite dead yet... And then the next one would be "Wine", and that has 50% more jokes. And then "Wen" will be the next Duke Nukem Forever (Yeah, it's "expected" in 2011 - I'll believe it Wen I see it :) ) Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I think I'll take CIDiv's advice next time....you're probably not missing something...

Yes, apparently he lives in the Columbus area. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista. Read my blog to find out how I've worked around bugs in Microsoft tools and frameworks.

Windows 8 would be the most obvious choice. :) home

Would that have passed as an April Fool's joke?

While you're at it, if you can find some way of stopping idiots like this ripping off my jokes to create research projects, I'd be grateful. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Ahh... and it is by design. A little further reading indicates that when redirecting io the underlying io and error streams Console object has NOTHING to do with the console screen that might be displayed albeit blank. This was lost on me initially. Console class members that work normally when the underlying stream is directed to a console might throw an exception if the stream is redirected, for example, to a file. Consequently, program your application to catch System.IO..::.IOException if you redirect a standard stream. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.console.aspx[^]

Ok, the plot thickens. A fellow developer wrote a bare-bones c# app that calls the c++ wrapper dll and it works from his computer. However, it fails from mine. I tried each type of CharSet without success. Also, I tried it with callingconvention = CallingConvention.StdCall. Btw, we used to use the automatically interop dll for calling the COM directly, however, it was very unstable. The funny thing is that stability is perfect with the approach using a hand-written c++ wrapper if called from c# under the context of visual studio unit testing.

CP has staff-editors who eventually edit and clean up the grammar/language. But I don't think they actually re-write it (in typical copy-edit style), so if the original article was not written in a natural style, the edited article would still feel a tad stiff to read (even if it's now grammatically correct).

I'm with Chris. Stored procedures are overused nowadays and are often used when a simpler technique will suffice.
