Hi,
How can I reach database relation diagram of sql by using smo? I want to learn parent key table of any column if that column is foreign key.
Forexample, in northwind database, in products table, there is categoryid column. This column is related to id in Category table. I want to find this.

Best Regards

Check out the Win32 SendInput()[^] function. I wrote an article[^] that demos how to use it for spoofing mouse clicks--keyboard input would be similar.

Hello everyone,

From ServiceController class, we can easily get the names of all the services on the current system. My question is how to get the physical absolute path of the executable file for the service? I found quite a while in MSDN, but failed.

thanks in advance,
George

The Win32_Process Management class (WMI) contains the absolute path of the executable. If you know the process ID, you can query that class to retrieve the absolute path (referred to as the "ExecutablePath").

Thanks John,

I have the ServiceController object instance related to the service, do you know how to get the process ID from the ServiceController object instance?

regards,
George

Not offhand. Have you tried google?

It looks like the ProcessID is the same as the Handle, so you could use the Handle property in the Win32_Process class.

Hi John,

Do you mean the PathName other than the ExecutablePath? I have tried and all the ExecutablePath of all services are null, but PathName contains the full path, PathName contains parameter as well.

regards,
George

It's "ExecutablePath". This is not part of the ServiceController object, it's something else completely. Google "WMI", or search on Codeproject - there are articles.

Hi John,

This link is what I am looking at, there is no member called "ExecutablePath". Do you mean the same class?

Did you read my first response at all? I'm talking about the Win32_Process class.

I suppose you can use the Win32_Service class if you want to.

My date format in MS SQL is DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss and it seems the calender in VS 2008 has the date format MM/DD/YYYY

So every time I try query information from my web app(using the criteria of specific periods of time using the calender object) I get bad information if any...

Any advice on how to get the two dates working correctly together...

Also, what should the standard date format be if there is one?

Thanks

you can do this

DateTime dtTime;

dtTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

it will change "25/08/2008" to "08/25/2008"

That changes it per request though won't it.
I have a table of 80 000 rows. Is that not going to make my requests slower doing it at that level? Is there not a way to change it on how the calender format requests the date?

If the design of your table is correct, you should have stored this data in a DateTime type field.

span98 wrote:
DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss

This is only a display format - you can choose to display the date in any format that you want.

When you open an SQL table interactively though, from within Management Studio for instance, you will see the date being displayed according to the locale settings of your system.

Btw, cross-posting is generally considered rude

span9825-Aug-08 3:25

Ye I have stored it as DateTime.... My PC language is set to UK English and my SQL default is set to British english so that is why I see it as the format DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss

So why does Microsoft Visual Studio not integrate with that? It is reading it as MM/DD/YYYY.

That is the problem I am stuck with

How are you displaying the date within VS?

span9825-Aug-08 3:42

I have two calender objects. I select a date from each...

The first to supply the date FROM and the second to supply the date TO

FROM = @start
TO = @end
