Others : best programming editor

Well, until now i can't decide what is the best programming editor, because i haven't used all of yet.

but for now I prefer using PHPEdit for coding the html files and Dreamweaver for for designing.

I am still testing some editor to be used portably, so I can do my projects where ever there's computer.

I still have no laptop yet.

SQL - length of a number (number of digits)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:07:59 GMT

Others : SQL - length of a number (number of digits)

I'm trying to get the length of a number (the number of characters, or the number of digits plus the 1 period in a float number). The field that I'm using is of floats and when I use

Code:

field1 is a field of floats

When the number has more than 7 characters it doesn't count them.
I have also tried converting the floats to chars, but I get the same results. LEN(CONVERT(char(53),field)). I tried plugging different numbers in the char(), but nothing.

When I select whats in field1 I get the actual numbers, so I don't understand what's going on.

I also tried decimals instead of floats, but it includes the trailing zeros at the end depending on how many decimals i specify it to have. I don't want to use decimals though b/c the data in field1 may need to have different decimals places.

I tried DATALENGTH but that just returns 8 for every column regardless of how many digits field1 has.

I don't think any data is lost since when I select all rows in field1 (floats) the actual numbers are displayed. So if I insert the number 3333.123433 (which has 10 digits + period, length of 11) in field1, "3333.123433" is displayed after a selection and not "3333.12" which has has a length of 7.

Can someone explain whats going, or know a solution to this.

Thanks,
los

Delphi Tlistbox things..

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:07:46 GMT

Others : Delphi Tlistbox things..

Well,,

For a Delphi project (for learning) I'm working on I need to be able working with a TlistBox.
I need to be able retrieving the Index of the currently selected item and edit it trough Button input.
The editing is nearly complete; since the value of each Component will be stored in an Array and I would try to show it using 'update' everytime the array value changes.
My first Problem is retrieving the selected item. I tried to write my own function to do that, but it didn't work very well.
The concept was to check the whole TlistBox with 'Selected' and return the index if it became true. The problem was that I couldn't use ListBox1.Selected[i] in an if-statement.

Also I am wondering how to show the array in the TlistBox everytime it gets edited, since every time a new item is added the array, and the amount of components grows. so an Update would be quite difficult.

Anyone that can help me on this?

Thanx in Advance,
Gushe

help, SQL Stored procedure - ASTM rouding rule

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:38:30 GMT

Others : help, SQL Stored procedure - ASTM rouding rule

I don't have much SQL experience, this is my problem:

I have to write an SQL procedure that will apply ASTM rounding rules (or i guess also known as round-to-even method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round-to-even_method. This page explains this method) to a column of floats (i.e. results) in a table and write the result of that application into another column of the table (i.e. ASTM_results). There is a column that specifies how many decimal places it should be rounded to (spec).

The starting table may look something like this

Code:

---------------------------------------
| RESULTS | SPEC | ASTM_RESULTS |
---------------------------------------
| 3.016 | 2 | NULL |
| 3.013 | 2 | NULL |
| 3.015 | 2 | NULL |
| 3.045 | 2 | NULL |
| 3.04501 | 2 | NULL |

After the ASTM rules have been applied (through the procedure) this is what the above table should look like

Code:

---------------------------------------
| RESULTS | SPEC | ASTM_RESULTS |
---------------------------------------
| 3.016 | 2 | 3.02 |
| 3.013 | 2 | 3.01 |
| 3.015 | 2 | 3.02 |
| 3.045 | 2 | 3.04 |
| 3.04501 | 2 | 3.05 |

It should apply it to every row and add the rounded number to the ASTM_RESULTS field in its corresponding row. I hope that makes sense.

Like I said I don't know much SQL, but I have to apply this to a table in SQL. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Help needed for Windows Mobile 6 programming

Others : Help needed for Windows Mobile 6 programming

Guys some serious help sorted for windows mobile 6 programming. I have installed VS2005,
with sp1, windows mobile 6 standard SDK, microsoft Active sink 4.5, .NET CF2. I want to develop an application which will finaly run on ASUS P535 mobile(windows mobile 6 complient). The application has an extensive use of camera API (Grabbing, modifying and sending).It should interact with PC via 802.11 and preferably by a servlet to exchange data with PC. I am little bit familier with VC++ but other things are blank.Where should I start? Any good book available for this purpose?(real book, not e-book or online tutorial because my eye doesnot permit seeing the screen for too long and I donot have any printer).Please help.

P.S. The ASUS mobile is not yet purchased. If you have a cheaper and better solution, that is also welcome (It should have atleast 2-3 mega pixel camera and wifi).

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

i need help with pause code in visual basic 6

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:18:26 GMT

Others : i need help with pause code in visual basic 6

okay so i found some source code that will let me pause so i can make a simple animation.
the source code is

[code]
Sub Pause(interval)
Dim Current
Current = Timer
Do While Timer - Current < Val(interval)
DoEvents
Loop[code]
End Sub
[/code]

and i am currently using it to make an animation. but then i wanted to use the code to make the age of a cyber pet increase over a duration of 30 mins but the pause (1800) conflicts with my animations pause (1) code so i need help in making it so i can have the timer set individually so the animation uses the pause 1 second and the age uses pause in 1800 seconds

my current code for the age update is

[code]Private Sub Tage_Timer()
Dim age1 As Integer
Dim age2 As Integer
Dim agetotal As Integer
Pause (1800)
pet.Recordset.Edit
age1 = txtage.Text
age2 = 1
agetotal = age1 + age2
txtage.Text = agetotal
pet.Recordset.Update
End Sub[/code]

c++ and auto_ptrs

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:40:15 GMT

Others : c++ and auto_ptrs

Ok, I'm really stuck here.
Basically, I'm making a game and I have a class Actor with a lot of class members, so I used a Factory that reads an XML file.
Anyway, I decided to try to let the Factory return auto_ptr<Actor>(new Actor(lots of params));

It seemed to work in test code. Then I had a method that takes a "const Actor &a".

That was the problem, no matter how I pass my auto_ptr a (i.e. *a, *(a.get())) my debugger is showing that all the values in Actor are garbage.

How can I pass an auto_ptr to a function that expects a plain const reference? Where should I start to fix this?

Thanks in advance, let me know if example code is needed.

Reward wiki contributors based on the amount of contribution

Sun, 25 May 2008 15:19:40 GMT

Others : Reward wiki contributors based on the amount of contribution

I am planning to create a wiki, but I want to reward the contributors by displaying their names in wiki pages. The best way to order the names is obviously by the amount of contributions they gave ("points" from now on), but calculating the points is surprisingly hard. Just see some approaches I have thought about for a while:

* just list all users that have added/changed some content in the page: users would hunt for typos or add some words to get points!
* count the number of edits users have done: users would abuse by breaking large edits to smaller ones (and indirectly penalizing users not doing that). This applies to an extension of mediawiki (I forgot the name).
* count the diff made by users (lines/sentences/words they have added, changed, or removed): solves the above issue, but users would abuse by copying content somewhere, deleting it, and adding it again.
* count the diff, and remember deleted content so when they add it up again they won't get any points: solves the above issue, but what should we do if someone moved content to other pages? Should we store the deletions per content or per user?

If we store the deletions per content, we are pretty much powerless over moving content: users will get point in the original page (for deleting) and in the new page (for adding content). Storing the deletion per user seems to be nice... That leaves the last question, how do we determine the points for pages that have content moved from other pages?

I'm beginning to think that this is very complicated. Is there anybody who knows other, better (simpler, more elegant) approaches?

download a text-file daily

Fri, 16 May 2008 19:48:49 GMT

Others : download a text-file daily

I want to get a text file from a webpage(use www.example.com/text.txt for now), and I want to do this every day at a set time. The OS is windows (xp and vista). The file has to be written to C:/program files/program/file.txt and it should overwrite the already existing file.

My idea was to make a batch file and make that execute every day with taskplanner. But because I can't write batchfiles harder than moving or deleting files I need some help.

Other ideas are always welcome, but the windows system doesn't have any special software installed besides everything already supplied with windows (standard install) so PHP isn't an option.

BTW if anyone wants frih$ for it, just tell me.
