• SQL Server Filter data back to publisher

  Hi all, We have merge replication set up between 2 instances of SQL 2005 through web synchronization. I was wondering is it possible if the subscriber adds data at their end can we selectively edit what data gets uploaded back to the publisher Will this work if I add a filter to the appropriate article at the publisher or will that only limit what goes down to the subscriber rather than vice-versa Also, could we set up web sychronization if the publisher had no direct access to the IIS server (ie. was not on the same network, available only through port 80, 443) Thanks, Iain Hey lain, You can't selectively edit what data gets uploaded back to the publisher. There's a parameter that ...Show All

• Community Chat Is MS trying to throw away menu bar?

  In IE7, classic menu bar is disabled by default. In Office 2007, there is not menu bar at all. Also the traditional toolbar is gone. I can't find a way to create my own custom toolbar too. What's happening I know menu bar is very classic and not pretty, but it is one single place that I am 100% sure that I can get all the features from a program. I don't want to lose it. You didn't answer my question. When I do word processing, I'm interested in typing a document that's all. Why do I need a Gallery and Live preview We haven't had them before. I've been very happy with Word, if anyone asked me what word needed, it would never occur to me to say, "A Gallery and a Live preview." So wh ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Creating Additional Tracking Record types?

  Is there anything in WF that would prevent me from creating my own subclasses of TrackingRecord and sending them to the tracking services What would happen in the SqlTrackingService if it gets a tracking record it doesn't know how to deal with Richard - you can't create a new TrackingRecord - but you can accomplish the same thing by using UserTrackingPoints and specifying the type you want to pass.

• Visual Studio Why is the formatting getting lost?

  Using VS2003 C#.net I've successfully built a reporting module in ASP.net. Each report has an associated Stored Procedure (SP) and View in SQL Server. The View is simply the Stored Procedure without any input parameters. The View is simply used to inform CR what fields will be in the report. At runtime I load the report, run the SP and then set Table 0 of CR to this retrieved DataSet. It works great ... or at least I thought so. Two strange things are happening though: The formatting of items (ex. currency formatting) is not showing up on the report. The sums at the bottom of some columns are mysteriously turning into "counts". Neither of these problems happen if I comment out the changing of the DataSource and in ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cardspace, Session and Cross Application

  Hi, I'm still investigating Windows Cardspace technologies and I had one question regarding how it is designed. Basically, what I'm trying to achieve is getting a Cardspace (Personal or Managed) to be used in a small smart application that connects to a set of services as well as embedding a WebBrowser component that points to the website that hosts the services too. I would like to know if there was any way to avoid the end user to select twice the Card he wants to share with the current application (one for the services themselves and the other one for the website) This could be either built in supported or achieved by using some sort of caching mechanisms where I would gathered the token from Cardspace and send it directly t ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I restore deleted rows by DataSet.RejectChanges()?

  Here is the simple code: DataSet dt = new DataSet () ; dt. Tables. Add () ; dt. Tables [ 0 ] . Rows. Add ( dt. Tables [ 0 ] . NewRow ()) ; dt. AcceptChanges () ; dt. Tables [ 0 ] . Rows. RemoveAt ( 0 ) ; dt. RejectChanges () ; It doesn't work which means that the deleted row is not restored. This case is pretty simplified, but in my real project I have the same problem - cannot perform full rollback all local data changes in DataSet object. Need your advice. Thanks. Remove != Delete. Remove doesn't change Rowstate. So calling Remove or RemoveAt takes it out of the collection. Delete on the other hand, leaves it in the collection but sets the Rowstate to Deleted. Then when you call AcceptChange ...Show All

• Windows Forms Anyway that i can click ont he Cancel button while upload of a file is taking place.

  Actually my aim to enable a cancel button while this upload takes place.I tried raising an event which makes the cancel button enabled while the upload process is going on. But I am not able to click on the cancel button, i dont get the access to click it.Once the process is completed i am able to click the button to generate the event. Can anyone tell me how this can be done. Just don't block the UI thread by polling in a while loop. Have the UI up and running. You could e.g. disable all buttons which should not be clickable and only have the cancel button enabled. Your code will block the UI thread because the message loop is not processed. You might throw in a DoEvents in the loop but that is bad design. Coding all that ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help - Passing expressions in Report Parameters

  Hi all, I get an error “Object is not set to an instance of object” when calling LocalReport.SetParameters with the selected value of one of the parameters being an expression (see below).   I am passing in the value "0" to LocalReport.SetParameters and my suspicion is that ReportViewer is comparing that to the expression in the ValidValues of the parameter and not liking the comparison.  The issue is that I don’t know what ReportViewer wants to receive.   It doesn’t like the evaluated expression string, it doesn’t seem to like the unevaluated expression.   I've included both the exception stack and the rdl. Thank you very much, in advance, for any light you can shed on this. -- Jeremy Here's th ...Show All
