What does it return when you try and interact using a dropped connection?

I haven't check it yet, but it would make sense to use the return message, the return code is -1. But the return code when a sql error occurs, is also -1. Thus going on the return code is not accurate, but I can get a hold of the return message. Which I can use to see what the real problem was. Making use of SQLGetDiagRec(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hstmt, 1, sqlState, &nativeErr, Msg, sizeof(Msg), &TextLengthPtr); function.

Thanks for the advice David.

A Q&D way to ensure that you are correctly roundtripping to the RDBMS and successfully executing SQL is to execute something like:

select 1

-or if using Oracle:

select 1 from dual

   If you get back a successful return code with a result column of "1", then you know everything is working correctly.

   Note: this is a fairly heavyweight solution to what may be an easy problem, depending on the API(s) you have avaialble for your target RDBMSes. But it might be easier than decoding error messages from different RDBMSse...

   Peace!

In order to create a .exe file, you first need to become very familiar with the PE file format. As you are an obvious beginner, I would advise against it. Stick with something more on your skill level.

If you want to write a compiler that can create .exe files then you need to know about the PE (Portable Executable) format. This defines the header format and internal layout for executable files on Windows. There are articles on Code Project about the PE header format and Microsoft have some Knowledge Base articles on in, there are tools on www.sysinternals.com and on Code Project for examining PE headers and you'll probably want a book or two on compilers as well. Good luck.

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Hi All,

I am using CStringArray object for adding number of strings in it. I used following code

m_HTML_Page_arry->SetAt(i,strPagePath);

where m_HTML_page_arry is declared as CStringArray *m_HTML_page_arry in .h file of this class. I got assertion on the above code. So if anybody have solution to this then plz forward it to me.

Do you have something akin to:

m_HTML_Page_arry = new CStringArray;

Why are you not just using an actual object rather than a pointer to one? Most of the time, this indicates a design flaw.
