I am reading in an Excel CSV file and I need to determine the data Type of
the fields being read in. There are numbers text, money, and dates. Is there
a function or technique that will give this info.
thanks for any help

How can I install VB6 in Windows Vista??? I'm new to programming and it
takes me lots of time! Please help!
Mike,
The short answer is no because a csv file doesn't have a schema. There is
no way for the .NET framework to know whether the value "20517" is meant to
be a date representation, a string ("20517"), a number (20,517.00), currency
(though there is no 'currency' type), etc.
If you could describe a little more of your scenario, I'll see if I can help
find a solution. Usually when importing flat files, it is necessary to
understand what data it will contain, a schema so to speak.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Hello all,
I'm trying to implement a PHP program that can handle streaming HTTP
data through Apache. I need to somehow get access to the incoming data
of the HTTP request as it arrives (i.e. I don't want to access the
FILE array).
Is this possible with mod_php? I think that, in general, it should be
possible as I think mod_python can do it.

INTRO
The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could
refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic
decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10
numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal
Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this
post I shall only use either...

Hi!
we are building an xml-export tool to export our business entities from
out app. we use reflection to determine the data type of properties.
e.g. we have a class Customer with a CustNo property, and reflection
tells us that the type is int. so far so good.
Now we have a ContactCollection (which inherits from MyBaseColletion)
inside the Customer class.

Hello,
I have been looking for some C-code which listens on a user-defined port
for incoming data traffic. When data is received, the data is written to a
file.
I found some C-code (server) that almost does the job. It listens on a
user-defined
port and responds to incoming data by writing how many times somebody
has tried to connect to the server.

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to determine which is the best
buffer size to use when you have to send() and recv() some data over
the network.
I have an FTP server application which, on data channel, uses 8192
bytes as buffer for both incoming and outgoing data.
Some time ago I received a report from a guy who stated that
changing the buffers from 8192 to 4096 results in a drastical speed
improvement.
I tried to make some tests...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
