.net - Why does COM Interop treat a VB6 Boolean as C# Short? -

i have legacy vb6 application has next construction defined:

public type drawdown date date amount currency capitaliseinterest boolean end type

an interop assembly generated using tlbimp.exe construction ends following:

[structlayout(layoutkind.sequential, pack = 4)] public struct drawdown { public datetime date; [marshalas(unmanagedtype.currency)] public decimal amount; public short capitaliseinterest; }

i'm using .net 4.0.

why vb6 boolean translated c# short instead of bool?

vb6 uses variant_bool type,

find info , history here: bool vs. variant_bool vs. boolean vs. boo

off side came variant_bool.

typedef short variant_bool; define variant_true ((variant_bool)-1) define variant_false ((variant_bool)0) developed visual basic folks. basic uses -1 represent "true" , 0 represent "false", , variant_bool designed preserve behavior.

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
