Not at all. Everybody step right up. The first annual (or maybe bi-annual) Great Smokey Mountain AccessD conference will be the weekend of June 23rd at my house. Everyone welcome. I think we have a web page under development. I'll check on that. I tried to do Google earth to get my location but that didn't work. According to Streets and Trips and the attached GPS device, my house is: 35.82548 N, 81.49635 W. Altitude 1269 Feet. The address is: 1723 Twin Pines Dr. Hudson, NC 28638 828-572-0120 is my business phone. Please do not target missiles to that location as there are innocent civilians present. There will be prize drawings, there will be technical presentations, there will be food, there will be pretty girls and handsome boys (well, one of each if you count my two kids). Come on down!

Here is the code I have so far. It is a combination of several different sources and playing with the auto completion feature of VB.Net.

I usually add a region called "Boneyard" where I move obsolete code into. Basically code that I don't currently call in the class but don't want to delete yet.

I never collapse my module level declarations and constants because when they're uncollapsed I can scroll back up and look at them without losing my insertion point, so I don't put them in a region. I group routines that "belong" together functionally in the same region. For instance, I have a Setup region that might include things like a custom constructor, a MyBase.Load event, an initialization routine (usually called FillData for forms and usercontrol/subforms), a declaration and initialization of typed columns for working with a grid, InitializeLayout for the grid, etc. If the class is a form or subform, I'll have a validation region that includes the routines implementing our validation interface, as well as any BeforeUpdate events, form Validation or Validating events, etc, that call into or trigger the validation. I throw miscellaneous stuff into a Methods region, but our exceptions are handled in calls to exception handlers, rather than within an individual class. We use helper classes as much as possible to standardize things like exception handling, and we use quite a few customized user controls that include the features we want to reduce the code required in the class that uses the control. Our data provider classes and our data entity classes have their own structural peculiarities, so they're broken up differently. A data entity, which inherits a typed dataset and implements a custom interface, has regions based around constructors, Get and Fill operations, update, business rules and any children it exposes. A data provider usually has regions for each of the tables it handles, with subregions for the Fill operations (and overloads), update operations and "Other", which includes things like the NextID for a particular table. Over time, your use of regions will evolve if you let it, especially as you work with controls and tools that have their own sets of events to handle. I even know of one developer who uses an alphabetic scheme for his regions, so all the routines with names that start with M or N or O would be grouped together!

We will start at 9:00 am and run through 12:00 pm (lunch), break till 1:30 or so, then pick up and continue till around 5:00 pm. Same schedule for Sunday if there is anyone left around. Again, anyone in the neighborhood Friday night is welcome to call. I do need to work till 5:00 pm Friday, and if you come by before the kids are in bed (8:00 PM) you will have to deal with Robbie and Allie. I have a nice screened porch on the back of the house where we can sit around and shoot bull. I am normally up till 11:00 pm or later so it will not be an inconvenience. BTW, I also have wireless for those who need to check email etc. It is encrypted (WPA?) but you just put in a key and go. John W.

Thus I need to be able to specify the source table, the size (number of records) each file will contain, the number of records exported etc. In order to accomplish this I am building a VB.Net application to allow me to export specific fields of a specific table into files of size X records. All of the parameters are in tables that I create. I have it working now, and it is now dumping the name / address fields from 99 million records, out to 1 million record files. It is interesting to note (and the reason for this email) that getting the data from SQL Server is the slowest part. I am building up a query dynamically (yea, I know I should be using a stored procedure with parameters, that will follow) with the name of the table, the field names to pull, and the start PKID and end PKIDs. VB.Net is having waitlock issues if the time to get the records is too large so I broke it down to 100K record sets, then export 10 of those recordsets into a single file. In average, 100K records is taking about 20-25 seconds to return the datasets, and then the VB.Net code that writes the file can write the data out to the file in about 2 seconds. So on average I am getting a million record file built in about 100-120 seconds. My program creates a unique name for each file and dumps them in a directory specified in the an export spec table. This is the second piece of the big picture where a set of data files is imported in to sql server, then immediately dumped back out for address validation (this piece) then imported back in to SQL Server for use. This same piece will later be used to periodically dump the data tables that have already been address validated back out to be validated again (NCOAs). When finished, this process will run automatically every week (or other time period I specify) to dump every one of my tables out for a periodic address (NCOA) validation. Without automation this process is immensely time intensive, but with automation it will be... Well... Automatic, with little or no manual intervention. So part two is complete, just a few tweaks left (logging results and such). John W.

I never collapse my module level declarations and constants because when they're uncollapsed I can scroll back up and look at them without losing my insertion point, so I don't put them in a region. I group routines that "belong" together functionally in the same region. For instance, I have a Setup region that might include things like a custom constructor, a MyBase.Load event, an initialization routine (usually called FillData for forms and usercontrol/subforms), a declaration and initialization of typed columns for working with a grid, InitializeLayout for the grid, etc. If the class is a form or subform, I'll have a validation region that includes the routines implementing our validation interface, as well as any BeforeUpdate events, form Validation or Validating events, etc, that call into or trigger the validation. I throw miscellaneous stuff into a Methods region, but our exceptions are handled in calls to exception handlers, rather than within an individual class. We use helper classes as much as possible to standardize things like exception handling, and we use quite a few customized user controls that include the features we want to reduce the code required in the class that uses the control. Our data provider classes and our data entity classes have their own structural peculiarities, so they're broken up differently. A data entity, which inherits a typed dataset and implements a custom interface, has regions based around constructors, Get and Fill operations, update, business rules and any children it exposes. A data provider usually has regions for each of the tables it handles, with subregions for the Fill operations (and overloads), update operations and "Other", which includes things like the NextID for a particular table. Over time, your use of regions will evolve if you let it, especially as you work with controls and tools that have their own sets of events to handle. I even know of one developer who uses an alphabetic scheme for his regions, so all the routines with names that start with M or N or O would be grouped together!

Again, anyone in the neighborhood Friday night is welcome to call. I do need to work till 5:00 pm Friday, and if you come by before the kids are in bed (8:00 PM) you will have to deal with Robbie and Allie. I have a nice screened porch on the back of the house where we can sit around and shoot bull. I am normally up till 11:00 pm or later so it will not be an inconvenience. BTW, I also have wireless for those who need to check email etc. It is encrypted (WPA?) but you just put in a key and go. John W.

Thus I need to be able to specify the source table, the size (number of records) each file will contain, the number of records exported etc. In order to accomplish this I am building a VB.Net application to allow me to export specific fields of a specific table into files of size X records. All of the parameters are in tables that I create. I have it working now, and it is now dumping the name / address fields from 99 million records, out to 1 million record files. It is interesting to note (and the reason for this email) that getting the data from SQL Server is the slowest part. I am building up a query dynamically (yea, I know I should be using a stored procedure with parameters, that will follow) with the name of the table, the field names to pull, and the start PKID and end PKIDs. VB.Net is having waitlock issues if the time to get the records is too large so I broke it down to 100K record sets, then export 10 of those recordsets into a single file. In average, 100K records is taking about 20-25 seconds to return the datasets, and then the VB.Net code that writes the file can write the data out to the file in about 2 seconds. So on average I am getting a million record file built in about 100-120 seconds. My program creates a unique name for each file and dumps them in a directory specified in the an export spec table. This is the second piece of the big picture where a set of data files is imported in to sql server, then immediately dumped back out for address validation (this piece) then imported back in to SQL Server for use. This same piece will later be used to periodically dump the data tables that have already been address validated back out to be validated again (NCOAs). When finished, this process will run automatically every week (or other time period I specify) to dump every one of my tables out for a periodic address (NCOA) validation. Without automation this process is immensely time intensive, but with automation it will be... Well... Automatic, with little or no manual intervention. So part two is complete, just a few tweaks left (logging results and such). John W.

Geek talk, getting together to discuss whatever access / database subjects popped to mind, meeting each other in person. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Planning has begun on the Second bi-annual Greater Smokey Mountain AccessD Conference. I need input on dates in the fall that work for people. This is North Carolina we are discussing so it will probably be nice weather up through the end of September. And of course if you come from Canada or the other far north reaches you might well consider it nice weather even in January. In fact I find it to be very nice even in January.

I never collapse my module level declarations and constants because when they're uncollapsed I can scroll back up and look at them without losing my insertion point, so I don't put them in a region. I group routines that "belong" together functionally in the same region. For instance, I have a Setup region that might include things like a custom constructor, a MyBase.Load event, an initialization routine (usually called FillData for forms and usercontrol/subforms), a declaration and initialization of typed columns for working with a grid, InitializeLayout for the grid, etc. If the class is a form or subform, I'll have a validation region that includes the routines implementing our validation interface, as well as any BeforeUpdate events, form Validation or Validating events, etc, that call into or trigger the validation. I throw miscellaneous stuff into a Methods region, but our exceptions are handled in calls to exception handlers, rather than within an individual class. We use helper classes as much as possible to standardize things like exception handling, and we use quite a few customized user controls that include the features we want to reduce the code required in the class that uses the control. Our data provider classes and our data entity classes have their own structural peculiarities, so they're broken up differently. A data entity, which inherits a typed dataset and implements a custom interface, has regions based around constructors, Get and Fill operations, update, business rules and any children it exposes. A data provider usually has regions for each of the tables it handles, with subregions for the Fill operations (and overloads), update operations and "Other", which includes things like the NextID for a particular table. Over time, your use of regions will evolve if you let it, especially as you work with controls and tools that have their own sets of events to handle. I even know of one developer who uses an alphabetic scheme for his regions, so all the routines with names that start with M or N or O would be grouped together!

It just works for me to have my classes organized such that things are in the same places down through the class. I set up this regions structure: #Region "Header" #Region "Variables" #End Region #Region "Constants" #End Region #Region "Enums" #End Region #Region "Structures" #End Region #Region "Events" #End Region #Region "Win32API" #End Region #End Region #Region "Properties" #End Region #Region "Methods" #End Region #Region "Exceptions" #End Region Thus I have a header region, with subregions for grouping variables, constants etc. Below the header region I have a handful of regions to group properties, methods and exceptions. Once I set up my regions, I inserted it into the snippets so that I could just insert a regions snippet first thing after I define a blank class. I can also insert a regions snippet at the top of the class to "retrofit" an existing class and clean it up. Comments welcomed. John W.

We will start at 9:00 am and run through 12:00 pm (lunch), break till 1:30 or so, then pick up and continue till around 5:00 pm. Same schedule for Sunday if there is anyone left around. Again, anyone in the neighborhood Friday night is welcome to call. I do need to work till 5:00 pm Friday, and if you come by before the kids are in bed (8:00 PM) you will have to deal with Robbie and Allie. I have a nice screened porch on the back of the house where we can sit around and shoot bull. I am normally up till 11:00 pm or later so it will not be an inconvenience. BTW, I also have wireless for those who need to check email etc. It is encrypted (WPA?) but you just put in a key and go. John W.

Thus I need to be able to specify the source table, the size (number of records) each file will contain, the number of records exported etc. In order to accomplish this I am building a VB.Net application to allow me to export specific fields of a specific table into files of size X records. All of the parameters are in tables that I create. I have it working now, and it is now dumping the name / address fields from 99 million records, out to 1 million record files. It is interesting to note (and the reason for this email) that getting the data from SQL Server is the slowest part. I am building up a query dynamically (yea, I know I should be using a stored procedure with parameters, that will follow) with the name of the table, the field names to pull, and the start PKID and end PKIDs. VB.Net is having waitlock issues if the time to get the records is too large so I broke it down to 100K record sets, then export 10 of those recordsets into a single file. In average, 100K records is taking about 20-25 seconds to return the datasets, and then the VB.Net code that writes the file can write the data out to the file in about 2 seconds. So on average I am getting a million record file built in about 100-120 seconds. My program creates a unique name for each file and dumps them in a directory specified in the an export spec table. This is the second piece of the big picture where a set of data files is imported in to sql server, then immediately dumped back out for address validation (this piece) then imported back in to SQL Server for use. This same piece will later be used to periodically dump the data tables that have already been address validated back out to be validated again (NCOAs). When finished, this process will run automatically every week (or other time period I specify) to dump every one of my tables out for a periodic address (NCOA) validation. Without automation this process is immensely time intensive, but with automation it will be... Well... Automatic, with little or no manual intervention. So part two is complete, just a few tweaks left (logging results and such). John W.

Not at all. Everybody step right up. The first annual (or maybe bi-annual) Great Smokey Mountain AccessD conference will be the weekend of June 23rd at my house. Everyone welcome. I think we have a web page under development. I'll check on that. I tried to do Google earth to get my location but that didn't work. According to Streets and Trips and the attached GPS device, my house is: 35.82548 N, 81.49635 W. Altitude 1269 Feet. The address is: 1723 Twin Pines Dr. Hudson, NC 28638 828-572-0120 is my business phone. Please do not target missiles to that location as there are innocent civilians present. There will be prize drawings, there will be technical presentations, there will be food, there will be pretty girls and handsome boys (well, one of each if you count my two kids). Come on down!

I never collapse my module level declarations and constants because when they're uncollapsed I can scroll back up and look at them without losing my insertion point, so I don't put them in a region. I group routines that "belong" together functionally in the same region. For instance, I have a Setup region that might include things like a custom constructor, a MyBase.Load event, an initialization routine (usually called FillData for forms and usercontrol/subforms), a declaration and initialization of typed columns for working with a grid, InitializeLayout for the grid, etc. If the class is a form or subform, I'll have a validation region that includes the routines implementing our validation interface, as well as any BeforeUpdate events, form Validation or Validating events, etc, that call into or trigger the validation. I throw miscellaneous stuff into a Methods region, but our exceptions are handled in calls to exception handlers, rather than within an individual class. We use helper classes as much as possible to standardize things like exception handling, and we use quite a few customized user controls that include the features we want to reduce the code required in the class that uses the control. Our data provider classes and our data entity classes have their own structural peculiarities, so they're broken up differently. A data entity, which inherits a typed dataset and implements a custom interface, has regions based around constructors, Get and Fill operations, update, business rules and any children it exposes. A data provider usually has regions for each of the tables it handles, with subregions for the Fill operations (and overloads), update operations and "Other", which includes things like the NextID for a particular table. Over time, your use of regions will evolve if you let it, especially as you work with controls and tools that have their own sets of events to handle. I even know of one developer who uses an alphabetic scheme for his regions, so all the routines with names that start with M or N or O would be grouped together!

Again, anyone in the neighborhood Friday night is welcome to call. I do need to work till 5:00 pm Friday, and if you come by before the kids are in bed (8:00 PM) you will have to deal with Robbie and Allie. I have a nice screened porch on the back of the house where we can sit around and shoot bull. I am normally up till 11:00 pm or later so it will not be an inconvenience. BTW, I also have wireless for those who need to check email etc. It is encrypted (WPA?) but you just put in a key and go. John W.

Thus I need to be able to specify the source table, the size (number of records) each file will contain, the number of records exported etc. In order to accomplish this I am building a VB.Net application to allow me to export specific fields of a specific table into files of size X records. All of the parameters are in tables that I create. I have it working now, and it is now dumping the name / address fields from 99 million records, out to 1 million record files. It is interesting to note (and the reason for this email) that getting the data from SQL Server is the slowest part. I am building up a query dynamically (yea, I know I should be using a stored procedure with parameters, that will follow) with the name of the table, the field names to pull, and the start PKID and end PKIDs. VB.Net is having waitlock issues if the time to get the records is too large so I broke it down to 100K record sets, then export 10 of those recordsets into a single file. In average, 100K records is taking about 20-25 seconds to return the datasets, and then the VB.Net code that writes the file can write the data out to the file in about 2 seconds. So on average I am getting a million record file built in about 100-120 seconds. My program creates a unique name for each file and dumps them in a directory specified in the an export spec table. This is the second piece of the big picture where a set of data files is imported in to sql server, then immediately dumped back out for address validation (this piece) then imported back in to SQL Server for use. This same piece will later be used to periodically dump the data tables that have already been address validated back out to be validated again (NCOAs). When finished, this process will run automatically every week (or other time period I specify) to dump every one of my tables out for a periodic address (NCOA) validation. Without automation this process is immensely time intensive, but with automation it will be... Well... Automatic, with little or no manual intervention. So part two is complete, just a few tweaks left (logging results and such). John W.

In order to import them I need to get them out of the zip files and then import them into my database. I have written an app to do the import but was still missing the app to do the unzip. I just found one on the internet. It is called MassiveUnzip and is a VB.Net application. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/MassiveUnzip.asp It uses the SharpZipLib found on that company's web site. http://www.sharpdevelop.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx Click the download link about half way down to get at the zip lib download. >From that point you need to unzip the SharpzipLib and move the DLL (at least) to your project, then reference that lib. I had to modify the call to the zip lib because (apparently) the SharpZipLib authors have added a new param to the program which the MassiveUnzip was not expecting. In ZipUtils.vb (compile and you will find the error) fz.ExtractZip(zipFilename, targetDir, FastZip.Overwrite.Always, Nothing, "", "", True) I added the true as the last parameter. I used this to unzip 50+ little tiny zip files in a given directory in about 10 seconds. It is chunking away on 50 much larger files which will probably take all afternoon.

I just found one on the internet. It is called MassiveUnzip and is a VB.Net application. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/MassiveUnzip.asp It uses the SharpZipLib found on that company's web site. http://www.sharpdevelop.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx Click the download link about half way down to get at the zip lib download. >From that point you need to unzip the SharpzipLib and move the DLL (at least) to your project, then reference that lib. I had to modify the call to the zip lib because (apparently) the SharpZipLib authors have added a new param to the program which the MassiveUnzip was not expecting. In ZipUtils.vb (compile and you will find the error) fz.ExtractZip(zipFilename, targetDir, FastZip.Overwrite.Always, Nothing, "", "", True) I added the true as the last parameter.

This is North Carolina we are discussing so it will probably be nice weather up through the end of September.
