As I mentioned, I run into a very nasty issue with the TPL. I am not sure if it is me doing things wrong, or an actual issue. Let us look at the code, shall we? We start with a very simple code: direction: ltr; text-align: left; padding-top: 0px; border-right-style: none; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0em; line-height: 12pt; padding-right: 0px; width: 100%; background-color: white"> 1: public class AsyncEvent 2: { Monday, 17 June 2013 04:33 | | |

As seen in the first part of this post, we can add IDENTITY columns to existing tables without any issue. IDENTITY columns cannot be NULL. Hence, when we add a new column as an IDENTITY column, every record existing in the table has to be assigned an IDENTITY value. So, the question arises that which record should be the first one to be assigned with the Identity seed, which record will be the second record and so on. In short:
How existing records are assigned the IDENTITY value?
We saw in the first part of the post that because a table was ordered via a clustered primary key, the IDENTITY specification was directly applied in that order. However, when the table is a heap (i.e. does not have a clustered index defined on it and is therefore unordered), the IDENTITY values are assigned based on the order in which records were inserted into the table.
The script and it’s results below prove this point.USE tempdb;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
--1. Prepare the environment
-- Create a table, and add some test data into it
--Safety Check
IF OBJECT_ID('tIdentity','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.tIdentity;
GO
--Create a table, this time WITHOUT a...(Read whole news on source site) |

source: blog.mrlacey.co.uk For the last 3 years I've paid (yes, with real money) for my Windows Phone developer subscription. As I've just come up for renewal again I wanted to use the token I get as part of my MSDN subscription (that I also pay for). In the phone dev centre there was a nice link prompting me to renew. On that renewal page there was an option to pay for renewal or enter a code. Obviously I wanted the "enter a code" option but where to get that code from? Unfortunately it wasn't as easy to find as I would have liked so I thought I'd share it here. It's actually quite simple (once you know how) Log into your account on msdn.microsoft.com. Got to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/manage/ Under the Subsccription Benefits find "Windows Phone developer account" Click on the "get code" link to reveal your code - it is a GUID ...Read more...(Read whole news on source site) Monday, 17 June 2013 02:01 | | |
source: blogs.msdn he new speech API, is one of the add on features of windows phone 8. This feature when added to your application makes it really interactive and engaging to the user and it is really easy to be done code wise. Launching apps with speech was already available in the previous Windows Phone releases, but Windows Phone 8 significantly extends the speech functionality available to developers by adding customizable voice commands which allow you to deep link commands to specific pages or actions in your app. Windows Phone 8 also comes with new speech recognition and text-to-speech APIs which enable developers to easily allow users to interact with their apps using speech. Here is a sneak peek into the new speech APIs: Speech Recognition In order to use speech recognition in the application, we have to make sure the application capabilities are set to the ones we need to activate speech recognition in the WMAppManifest.xml file. We need to add two capabilities that aren't checked by default: ID_CAP_MICROPHONE ID_CAP_SPEECH_RECOGNITION ...Read more...(Read whole news on source site) |
