• Visual Studio how to open files created by VS2003 in VS 2005?

  It is a simple C++ project created at home by Visual studio 2005 I went to school and try to open them in Visual studio 2003 and i failed Does anyone know the solution There are changes between the formats of the solution and project. I am not aware of a vs 2005 to vs 2003 converter but the easiest pain is to create a new solution and project in 2003 and manually add the files to the project. There are going to be things that might not work though... ...Show All

• SQL Server How to assess impact of changing database Compatibility level

  I noticed that a database I am working with has a compatibility level set to SQL Server 2000. The instance is actually SQL Server 2005. I'm guessing that it was created like this because the database originally existed on 2000 and was created via backup/restore. I'm trying to figure out if this needs to be changed and if so how to go about making the change in a non-disruptive manner. What features of 2005 are turned off as a reult of having a 2000 compatibility level Check out the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor Tool it can scan for use of depricated functionality. You can find the tool on the SQL Server Download Site. Thanks Michelle ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies How to make Image Map on sharepoint

  I have been using sharepoint for a while .. question for me how can i make a Image Map.. something like HOTSPOT click on the Dreamwear which allows to draw clickable portions on the JPGE file which then takes you to the another HTML page..

• SQL Server Need Help on this SQL Statement

  Hi All, sqlLstProds="Select * From PRODUCT_DEF "&_ "WHERE productID IN(Select productID From PRODUCT_DEF WHERE (IDProductCriteria = 5) AND ([Value] = '"&getSession("ModelID")&"')) "&_ " Order By IDProduct, IDProductCriteria" I have the above SQL Code in an ASP page.

I need to add to the query a where clause, where active = 1 active 0 is obviously discontinued products, how would I do this So basically, it's somewhat of a join of some sort, like select * from Produc ...Show All

• Windows Forms designer error on multi-language forms

  If there is an ImageList control on multi-lang form, and its collection is changed (e.g. by adding new icons), then changing Language property raises designer error: "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: 'X' is not a valid value for 'index'. at System.Windows.Forms.Design.ImageListDesigner.OriginalImageCollection.get_Item(Int32 index) at System.Windows.Forms.Design.ImageListDesigner.OriginalImageCollection.SetKeyName(Int32 index, String name)" This is caused by difference between xxx.Designer.cs file and old xxxx.LL.resx file for other language used. Maybe the solution should be image list stream to be automatically transferred to all localized resource files. A temporary workaround is ...Show All

• SQL Server Using stored procedure to read from ODBC ?

  Dear all, I am using SQL 2000 and would like to dynamically assign ODBC data source to transform data task. Do you have a stored procedure to perform read/write from/to ODBC data source I would like to input data source and table name. Thank you and Best regards, Chaivat Did you create the system DSN for SAS on the SQL Server machine What about the SAS driver themselves TSQL code executes on the server so you need to perform all necessary configuration / install for SAS driver on the server. First, start with just trying a simple ODBC test (using SDK app) on the server using the SAS driver. If this works then the SAS driver install on server is fine and it should work fine using SQL Server. Lastly ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Pre & Post Deployment Scripts in CLR (Database) Project

  Is there a way to include Pre & Post deployment scripts into CLR Project The reason why I am looking for this is that when deploying CLR assembly/methods (more precisely upgrading), VS2005 can't delete/recreate database objects which depend on these CLR functions. Thus I need to delete them manually first and then create after deployment is finished anew... Is there a workaround for this problem No SQL Server does not allow that. -GertD ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXGI_FORMAT_R11G11B10_FLOAT format

  Hi, the DXGI_FORMAT_R11G11B10_FLOAT render target format seems to be a clear winner when it comes to HDR rendering. The question I could not find an answer in the documentation for is: is it guaranteed to support alpha blending, multi-sampling and filtering Thanks in advance, - Wolf Actually, destination alpha is something you can't do with a non-alpha-supporting format, unless you accept that the alpha will always be 1.0. You can use destination color, of course. You can use source alpha though, since the output merger stage still has access to the alpha output of the pixel shader - the alpha doesn't get "thrown away" until it's actually written to the render target. ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI problems/issues

  I have some questions on C++/CLI issue. Let me explain my situation: I have an existing native COM dll that contains my logic. It has been tested and works fine with native C++ client using CoCreateInstance. I would like to add a new logic and notice that BCL has a class that I can use. So I add a new source file and header which I compile with /clr since I need to use one of BCL classes (actually, at this point, it is just an empty shell). When I tried to CoCreateInstance in my native client, it couldn’t create. But if I go back to my COM dll project and take out the /clr in my new source file, it works fine. After some debugging, I found out the problem and have been able to fix the issue. However, I would like to get more detai ...Show All

• SQL Server How can we verify the Clustering algorithm models?

  Hi, all here, Since we are not able to use accuracy chart for Clustering algorithms there. So how can we verify the accuracy of clustering algorithm models here in terms of its classification and regression tasks Thank you very much in advance for your guidance and advices for that. With best regards, Yours sincerely, Actaully, you are able to use accuracy chart if you define any columns as predictable for the clustering model. You can verify this by using the Targeted Mailing data set from the Adventure Works DW. You can create a Microsoft Clustering model and set the bike buyer as predict. After you process your model, you will be able to get lift chart, profit chart and classification matrix for your clustering m ...Show All

• Visual Basic use word to read a rtf doc from a service su.exe and .net 2.0 process.start....

  I know I complicate things but I have many questions.... My goal was: Open an rtf document using word com objects. Reading some header data to then further process the file. My constraints : The whole process will run in a batch mode. Processing 100 of these files. I want to use vb.net 2005. I already have a service that will run the app at a set time each day. Ok, with all of that out of the way now the fun stuff: Creating an vb.net app that reads in the header using word wasn't too bad. But I had never tried running an application like this from an unattened service. Which uses Createprocess. Problem 1: I tried running the app and it just hangs on the step of: Dim WordApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word ...Show All

  I have a little program that stores information into an Access database. I've used the "add new data source" wizard so i'm getting a binding navigator with which i can move through my records, add, remove records etc. If a user tries to move through records (first, last, previous, next) and at least one of the values is left blank from the current record, he should get a messagebox stating that some of the values are null, and to look for error provider messages in those that are empty. Also if one of the values are null, he shouldn't be able to move on to the record that he wants to until he has put information into it. ...Show All

  I would like to have a gadget that will allow me to watch IP cameras on my sidebar. I use Axis IP cameras around my home and would love to be able to have them on the side bar with the ability to click on it to enlarge. Is this possible Sure that wouldnt be too difficult, you could have it so you click it and the flyout opens with a bigger image, or you could undock it and have it enlarge. I could probably whip one up fairly quick if you give me an example of a stream (as i dont have an Axis IP camera myself. ...Show All
