Hi, I have a stored procedure in sql server like this: create procedure sp_insert ( @some_value float ) as --insert statement here and the column is defined to float go I call it in ASP. and the code like this set cmd=function to create the command cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("@some_value",5,1,,CDbl("text_value_here")) cmd.execute I got the error message to complain about can not convert nvarchar to float all the time. BTW, the function to create the command object is tested working. My question is: How to deal with the float parameter in ASP code? Thanks a lot in advance!

yes, all the projects are in the same solution. and I can compile it and run it. all the existing functions work fine. I want to add some new funcitons, so I need to debug into it!

Hi, I have a project mixed with C++ and C# in VS 2003. I tried to debug into the C++ code. but it never stop at any break point. I use CoCreateInstance to create the C++ object (C# call a c++ library #1 -- managed C++, lib #1 call CoCreateInstance to create the final object). I want to step into the function call to that object. I have the source code for all the C# and C++ projects. I set the "Enable unmanaged debugging" to true and also "allow unsafe code blocks" to true already. but it I can debug into library 1 only!! does any one has some idea about this!!! Thanks a lot in advance!

I want get all the occurences for one string (e.g. keyword) in an ASP or html file. But I want to ignore some special html/asp tag that includes the searched string (in my case it is "keyword"). for example: 1) this is a test keyword string. (I want this) 2) <a href='#'>the is second keyword</a> (I don't want this) 2) <% 'this is keyword in asp code %> (I don't want this) I know regular express may solve this problem. But I don't know how?? Can somebody give me an example regular exression for this?? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I embedded windows media player 11 on a form, and I add a few files to the currentplaylist of it. like: WMPLib.IWMPMedia m= wmp.mediaCollection.add(sFile); wmp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(m); I want this playlist "Repeat" forever. but the function "repeat/Ctlcontrols.repeat" is gone. How to do this???? I don't want to create my own timeline thread to check the duration by the way. Also I could not use the StatusChange and PlayStateChange event, it is not recommended by MS. thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi, I want to control the show/hide to another program. I use Process to start the program and make the initial window status Minimized. then I use Process to get the program main window handle and use windows API showwindow to hide the program i just started. Everything looks fine but one thing. some of the control's visible property (or event, like viisble changed) in the started program are not correct. for example, the button is visible in the GUI, you can click and execute something, but you always get false when you check (get) the visible value . but I can use windows Api like iswindowvisible to get the right visible value. I can use API to set/get the right value, but the related event fired are not correct!! BTW, the program I started is created by C# (VS 2005). Does anyone have some idea about this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, I have 2 components created by VS 2003. both of them create its own TcpServerChannel and TcpClientChannel. I try to intrgrate the 2 components into 1 program. but the channels confict to each other. In detail: 1. component 1 create TcpServerChannel_1 and TcpClientChannel_1 2. component 2 create TcpServerChannel_2 and TcpClientChannel_2 3. start component 1, 4. start component 2, 5. Problem: the communication for component 2 doesn't work. it seems the data send from TcpClientChannel_2 to TcpServerChannel_2 is trying to use TcpClientChannel_1. does anyone have a solution to make the 2 components work in one program??? Note: I see the channels information from debug. I can not change the components! Thanks a lot in advance!!
