There are line breaks in the code that you posted in the forum. If your code doesn't look like that, what does it look like?

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Just some quick things I noticed without attempting to completely comprehend the whole thing.

Assuming the expression works for the conditions you expect, it will not work if someone types in FeB or FEb or FEB, etc. You should consider making the expression case-insensitive. That will also let you make the expression smaller since you only need jan|feb|mar|... instead of two expressions per month.

Also, I don't know what you expect d{0} to do, but my understanding is that it would try to match 0 d characters (which doesn't make any sense)

May I suggest you use an ISO 8601-compliant format?

I am using the following command in the post-build event for copying the dll from the target dir to the destination

copy $(TargetDir)\*.exe $(SolutionDir)\Bin\$(ConfigurationName)
copy $(TargetDir)\*.exe.config $(SolutionDir)\Bin\$(ConfigurationName)

when i try to compile the project i am getting the following error

"Error 5 The command "copy D:\src_comp\C1\bin\Debug\\*.exe D:\src_comp\\Bin\Debug
copy D:\src_comp\C2\bin\Debug\\*.exe.config D:\src_comp\\Bin\Debug" exited with code 1. CDC"

Can any one tell me what is going wrong here?

might be the double slash causing a problem

try changing it to
copy $(TargetDir)*.exe ...

$(TargetDir) is the directory of the primary output file for the build (defined with drive and path). It should includes the trailing backslash '\'.

I've just checked one of my projects - $(TargetDir) is "c:\projects\project1\" so the trailing backslash is included. You're trying to resolve the address something like "c:\projects\project1\\*.exe" which isn't valid path.

Make the change the OP stated - it should work.

It definitely isn't definatley

I draw to a bitmap and rotate the bitmap. The rotated text looks better that way.

Try using RotateTransform method.

SqlBulkCopy

Not sure if it is a Sql issue or a syntax error of sorts so here it is.

I have a DataTable with a single column Player Name. It is filled with some 20,000 rows. I need to insert this into a Sql database.

I have a Sql database setup with a table called Unknown, it has 2 columns, an Indentity column ID, and a varchar(50) column Player Name.

I copied the data over one-by-one and it took like 15-30 minutes to do, not I am using SqlBulkCopy. The problem is, it simply isn't working. No error, no warnings, no nothing. I have SQL Profiler open and don't see it even hitting the database. Code is attached, what am I doing wrong?

SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TibiaSQLConnection);

            connection.Open();

            SqlBulkCopy copier = new SqlBulkCopy(connection);
            copier.BatchSize = 500;
            copier.NotifyAfter = 1000;
            copier.SqlRowsCopied += new SqlRowsCopiedEventHandler(copier_SqlRowsCopied);
            copier.DestinationTableName = "Unknown";
            copier.WriteToServer(dtUnknowns);

            copier.Close();
            connection.Close();

Just a note: I would open the connection right before WriteToServer() method and wrap it in a try block and catch exceptions

It all is wrapped in a try except. That was just a snippit. Let me try that and see how it works.

Do you have to do that even when both columns have the same name?

XML DateTime, .NET DateTime and SQL DateTime troubles

Andres Coder17-Dec-08 19:46

Hello,

I have an .NET 1.1 C# application that gets it's input from webservices and saves proccessed info to SQL2005 database. First I deserialize the webservices envelope, then iterate over elements I care about and then call a stored procedure to save the processed info. Problem is - dates sometimes don't parse correctly.

After I get the date element from XML, I converted it to .NET datetime by first checking if it's a datetime using DateTime.Parse() and checking if conversion from text was successful (if not, some other value from earlier data is used). Then I use Convert.ToDateTime() to actually convert it to datetime.

Works fine. BUT. If I put the program on another machine (a server to be exact), from time-to-time, some dates do not get converted (DateTime.Parse wont cooperate when checking if conversion is possible). I suspect it might have something to do with globalization (as they DO get converted on MY machine, but not on the other) but other than that, I have no ideas.

To counter it, I thought of trying to Convert the datetime using XmlConvert.ToDateTime() but that failed, too. Then I tried to convert it using DateTime.ParseExact() like this:

IFormatProvider format = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", true);
DateTime.ParseExact(xmlDate, pattern, format, DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal);

However, then I got an exception complaning that DateTime has to be between 1773 and 9999 or something like that, which totally freaked me out as debugging showed that my datetime that generated such an error was something like 2. december 2008.

Any ides ?
