When you say "nothing in return value," does that mean that WNetOpenEnum() is returning NO_ERROR?

Yes. WNetOpenEnum() is returning NO_ERROR.

hi all

i use the below to create a modeless dialog which works ok

CCPServerWait* m_pWaitDlg;
m_pWaitDlg = new CCPServerWait;
m_pWaitDlg->Create(IDD_DCPSERVER_WAIT);
m_pWaitDlg->m_wait_mes = "Connecting to CMIS Please
m_pWaitDlg->UpdateData(FALSE);
m_pWaitDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_pWaitDlg->UpdateWindow();
m_pWaitDlg->DestroyWindow();

but before i use this code; i need to call the function

ok = SQLCreateDataSource(m_hWnd,"CP_CMIS_CON");

with this in, the code for the modeless dialog doesnt work Cry | :((

if i take it out then the code for the modeless dialog does work,

obviously i need it in, can ne1 help ???

There is no need to call UpdateWindow() here.

Define "doesnt work." Have you single-stepped through each line of code?

The code you've shown does not appear to do anything other than create a dialog object and then destroy it. I can't imagine it being on the screen any longer than a quick flash, if that long. The last time I used one, there was some (lengthy) processing going on in between the calls to ShowWindow() and DestroyWindow().

Does anyone know how to detect a CDatabase disonnection?

I'm inserting rows into a database and when it disconnects it throws a CDBException with return code of type 'SQL_ERROR'. This is the same error code for all SQL errors e.g. primary key violation etc.

I want to detect a disconnection, then attempt a reconnect but can't figure out how to specifically detect a disconnection?

Can anyone help?

Convert from VS 6.0 project to VS .NET project

What really happen when I convert my VS 6.0 (C++) project to a VS .NET project. May I then take advantage of some .NET “stuff”?
Are there any reason for me to start using VS .NET except for a nicer editor?

All tips are welcomed!

Only if your existing project uses it, or else .NET won't be called.

Are there any reason for me to start using VS .NET except for a nicer editor?

My personal opinion,

Pros: Better compiler and linker (claimed that the executables generated by VC7 run faster than VC6 in Dr Dobb's Journal), better STL conformance, upgraded debugger.
Cons: Slower interface compares to VC6, no more class wizard.

Of course, there are. Just that the functions are not in the same place. A few ways to access the class wizard functions. In VS 2003, I am not sure of others. One, is via your properties window - control event button when you have selected your resources, this allow you to select the event handler you need.
and second, is by right click on your resources. You will notice, Add Varible or Add Event Handler menu enabled.

Hi,
I would like to connect do a DSN (data source name) through my code in C++, but I don't want to write the UserName and Password in my code: how can I do??

Here it is my code:

static bool IsSubscribed(SQLCHAR Account[], bool& subscription, bool& warning)
{
SQLHENV henv = NULL;
SQLHDBC hdbc = NULL;
SQLHSTMT hstmt = NULL;
SQLRETURN sRet;

PTSTR szDataSource = _T("DSN_NAME");
PTSTR szUID = _T("UserName");
PTSTR szPWD = _T("Password");

// Initialize the ODBC environment.
if (SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, NULL, &henv) == SQL_ERROR)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Initialize the ODBC environment");
return false;
}

SQLSetEnvAttr(henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (void*) SQL_OV_ODBC3,SQL_IS_INTEGER);

// Allocate a connection handle and connect to the data source.
if (SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, henv, &hdbc) == SQL_ERROR)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Allocate a connection handle");
return false;
}
if (SQLConnect(hdbc, (SQLTCHAR*) szDataSource, SQL_NTS,
(SQLTCHAR*) szUID, SQL_NTS, (SQLTCHAR*) szPWD, SQL_NTS) == SQL_ERROR)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Connect to the DataSource");
return false;
}

// Get a statement handle and execute a Transact-SQL SELECT statement
if (SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hdbc, &hstmt) == SQL_ERROR)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Get a statement handle and execute a Trans-SQL");
return false;
}

SQLINTEGER cbAccount = SQL_NTS;

// ? marks the input parameter.
sRet = SQLPrepare(hstmt, (SQLCHAR*) "{call spIsSubscribed(?)}", SQL_NTS);

// Bind the input parameter.
sRet = SQLBindParameter(hstmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
SQL_CHAR, 20, 0, Account, 0, &cbAccount);

if( (SQLExecute(hstmt)) == SQL_ERROR)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Execute");
return false;
}

bool sub;
SQLINTEGER cbSub;

bool warn;
SQLINTEGER cbWarning;

// Retrieve data from row set.
SQLBindCol(hstmt, 1, SQL_C_BIT, (SQLPOINTER) &sub, 0, &cbSub);
SQLBindCol(hstmt, 2, SQL_C_BIT, (SQLPOINTER) &warn, 0, &cbWarning);

sRet = SQLFetch(hstmt);

if(sRet != SQL_SUCCESS && sRet != SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO)
{
WriteIntoFile("ERRORE Fetch");
return false;
}

subscription = sub;
warning = warn;

/* Clean up.*/
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hstmt);
SQLDisconnect(hdbc);
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hdbc);
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, henv);

return true;

Hi..

I don't have much time to see your code but
One thing u can do is supply coneection string...
that's very easy...
Use class CDatabase
CRecordset

or drive class from CRecordset & supply all information at creation time...

I'm in hurry...
so see..u later..
bye..

Why not wrap all of that ODBC nastiness into a class? I have been using the same ODBC classes for about 8 years now, and never had a problem. If you want the classes, shoot me an email.

Hello,

I have class defined somethig like this :

class CAaa
{
 ...
  CString m_str;
 void Set();
}
CAaa::Set()
{
  CString tmp;
  // some processing with tmp
  m_str = tmp;
}

It's more complicated class, but this is the most important part.
Destructor of CAaa will crash the application in CString destructer,
which shows ASSERT in debug mode that it can't free the memory, because it's not valid memory block.
I found out that this won't happend when i use
m_str = (LPCSTR)tmp;
insead of
m_str = tmp;

Why the second thing is not working ? I know that there's only reference increment in second case, and copying of all data in first case,
but why doesn't the reference counting work correctly ?
Is this bad practice to assign member CString value of local CString in function ?
Thanks

How is the CAaa object being created, and Set() being called.

Thanks for reply !
I don't know whether this is important, but there's list oc Caa :

typedef CArray<CAaa,CAaa&> CAaaArray
class anotherClass
{
  void SomeFunc();
  CAaaArray m_array;
}
CAaa::SomeFunc()
{
   CAaa *aaa;
   for (int i=0; i<m_array->GetSize(); i++)
   {
     aaa = &m_array->GetAt(i);
     ....
     aaa->Set();
   }
}

Another weird thing is that for each item in this loop also destructor of CAaa is called, but it's probably because od GetAt returning temporary object created with default copy constructor, which is destroyed at the end of the loop ... I'll have to figure out whether creating of temporary CAaa object isn't problem ....

I assume you typed these code snippets in rather than copying/pasting them directory from your project. I had to make some changes just to get them to compile. Smile | :)

Here is what I have that produces no errors:

class CAaa
{
    CString m_str; 
public:
    CAaa();
    ~CAaa();
    void Set();
};
 
void CAaa::Set()
{  
    CString tmp;
    m_str = tmp;
}
 
typedef CArray<CAaa *, CAaa *> CAaaArray;
 
class anotherClass
{  
    CAaaArray m_array;
    
public:
    anotherClass();
    ~anotherClass()
    {
        CAaa *aaa;
        for (int i = 0; i < m_array.GetSize(); i++)
        {
            aaa = m_array.GetAt(i);
            delete aaa;
        }
    }
 
    void SomeFunc();  
    void add();
};
 
void anotherClass::add()
{   
    CAaa *aaa = new CAaa;
    m_array.Add(aaa);
}
 
void anotherClass::SomeFunc()
{   
    CAaa *aaa;   
    for (int i = 0; i < m_array.GetSize(); i++)   
    {     
        aaa = m_array.GetAt(i);
        aaa->Set();   
    }
}
... 
anotherClass ac;
ac.add();
ac.SomeFunc();

How does it compare to what you have?

Yes it would be too big to paste here original classes.
You've used array of pointers, I used array of objects.
So there is different constructing/destructing objkects in array,
it's maybe the biggest difference.
I've posted original array typedef in previous message
