• Visual C# Represent string as a object

  Hello, How can I represent a string as an object "String" is not working, because it always returns a string(value type). I have sucessfully implemented it by creating a "Text" class with a string property, but I was wondering if there isnt any other way to do it, using existing classes. Thanks. No... I already have set the value. I want to get the reference of a String object, not just the value. GetValue returns me a value-type(the string itself), not the String object. With another classes(as my Text), it correctly returns a reference to the object. Any idea to get the String reference I tried a cast, but didnt work... ...Show All

• Visual C++ any documentation for coding a compiler

  I have a friend who is doing a school project: coding/implementing a comipler for C or C++ Where can he find some documentation pls Thanks. First of all, go to ansi.com and buy the C++ standard document. That's a nice thing to have, regardless of how advanced the compiler should be. Second, read up on "compiler compilers", such as Yacc ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc ). When you've done that, it's time to read up on code generation and binary formats. Note that this forum deals with the C++ language, as implemented by VC++ 2005. For general discussion on topics such as this, the C++ newsgroup at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups is a better fit. ...Show All

• Commerce Server Tax Support in commerce server 2007

  Hi Is there any tax calculation support in commce server 2007 Praba, There isn't any out-of-the-box functionality that I know of for calculating tax. This can either be handled by a third party tax service provider (IE: CyberSource), or you could write some custom code which keeps these tax calculations in-house. If you open up the total.pcf, you'll notice a pipeline stage labeled "Tax". There are currently two pipeline components present, DefaultTaxCy and RequiredTaxCy. You can find the documentation for these on MSDN for a really good explanation, but the easy way of looking at it is that DefaultTaxCy creates entries in your OrderForm object called _cy_tax_total and _cy_tax_included, RequiredTaxCy just asser ...Show All

• SQL Server Table visibility not functioning correctly on Server, works fine in Visual Studio

  I have a report problem. I'm using a parameter to dynamically control visibility for two tables. If the parameter is set to one value, I want to switch one of the tables to invisible, if the parameter is set to another, I want the other table to be invisible instead. This all works fine in Visual Studio. When I publish it to my report server, the visibility controls no longer function and both tables always display. Any ideas here I'm running 2005, SP2 CTP. Hi Robert, This looks to be a bug in the HTML renderer in pre-RS2005 SP2 versions of reporting services. I tried this with RTM version of RS and I could reproduce your problem. In the new SP2 version coming out soon, I found the issue to be fi ...Show All
