• Internet Explorer Development C# IE toolbar: how to use ShowBrowserBar to make the toolbar initially visible?

  Hi, As I'm programming in C#, I'm using the DeskBand object http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp , rather than the MSDN .net kbbar sample which is written in managed C++. I would like to make the toolbar visible after its installation. Do you know a way to do this I tried to use code like this: Object oShow = true; Object dummy = false; Object vGuid = t.GUID.ToString("B"); // or this.GetType().GUID... Explorer.ShowBrowserBar( ref vGuid, ref oShow, ref dummy); but the problem is: where do I put this code ! If I put it in the SetSite method, it is called when the toolbar is displayed, so too late! Ideally, I would have liked to make it visible in the Register method, but unfortunately, the Explorer is not ...Show All

• SQL Server Modifying a report created in report builder in the report designer.

  After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks I been looking at how I can load reports from the reports builder in to the proper reports designer as you can design your reports alot faster in the reports builder, and then use reports designer in VS to tidy things up. However I always get a message saying it couldnt ...Show All

• SQL Server Sick database - giant log file

  Hi, I have a database with a giant logfile which I am having trouble shrinking - 25GB log file for a 10MB database. I cannot back up the database because I get some sort of disk failure in the application log file (there is plenty of room on the disk I think - 35GB). (Note: the software RAID system on this box is suspect.) I cannot detach the database because it is being replicated. I cannot remove the replication because the server the publication refers to no longer exists and I get an error about only being allowed to use real server names (a real Catch 22 there). If I stop the server and rename the log file, the database becomes "suspect". Renaming it back fixes it. This is an inherited database and I don't rea ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX query based on a subquery

  Hi, I hope that some can help me with a small problem I have got. I am new to data warehousing and MDX and am wondering if it is possible to construct a query based on a subquery (something like a T-SQL IN Clause). Want I want to do is take all the customers who has looked at one product category (ex Dairy products) and see what else they have looked at. I guess what I want to do is create some sort of a filter to be able to only take those users from the measure and slice them by the product dimension again. I am using ProClarity and will also need to be able to use it in there. I am thankful for any help or any pushes in the right direction :-). Kind Regards Stefan Ghose Thank you soo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. First Person Perspective

  Can anyone explain how I could modify the 3D Tutorial so that I can control the spaceship from a FPS view. Currently the tutorial allows you to control the ship and move it left right etc. But how would I simulate being inside the ship I hope this makes sense. If you put the camera inside the ship model, you would have to model the inside of your ship too (and put in some windows). :) It might be easier to just render the scene, and draw your cockpit/bridge as a large HUD over that. Or just have a model of your cockpit/bridge and render that in front of your camera. If the window is small, you can probably render only part of your scene in a smaller viewport to get some performance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to select the executed test cases from the database when generating report?

  I am generating a test case report for our project manager in VSTS. I can set the filed "workitem type" as "test case" to get all the cases. but i do not find a field i can use to get the executed test cases. Anyone can help me Thanks! Thank you for your reply.

There is a field called "CC Scenario" in Product Studio which stored if the test case ...Show All
