• SQL Server Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

  I have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio. When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item. Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue: http://docs.google.com/View docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5 If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not re ...Show All

• Visual Basic Debugger problem "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  There was a similar question posed on the C++ forum back in February to which I responded yesterday, but unfortunately, did not get a response. I am therefore putting this question in the VB forum. I have a VB 2005 project which is actually an add-in to Outlook 2003, which was I was able to debug fine until earlier this week. Now I cannot debug it at all - the message in the subject is displayed when I hover the mouse over the breakpoint which shows a yellow icon in place. Can anyone here tell me what I should do to correct this I had the same problem. I fixed it for a moment by changing the project's "Generate Debug Info" option from "None" to "PDB Only. " To get there, right click the project ...Show All

• Visual C# Approach for creating class method

  I am in the middle of a big dilemma. In my app, we have tons of methods for selecting information based on different filters, an in many cases bringing different fields/attributes as well. I thought of naming the methods based on the filter names (e.g. SelectEmployeeOnName (name) would bring all employees that have that name), other option would be to overload a lot of methods, but then this might not work in the cases where I had n methods with the same filter structure, differing only in the returned structure (the object).

• Windows Forms Windows Form Designer and the 'Do not modify... warning

  I'm not sure how--but I've managed to add some controls such as buttons, combo boxes, and others to my project in VB Express that are not visible. I don't mean hidden like control.hidden = true but hidden on the form. I think they are hidden behind other controls that I have on my form. I can see the drop down events of these hidden controls which have no code associated with them. When I view the code in the partial class generated by the Windows Forms Designer I can see the referece to them like: Me .MaskedTextBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ListBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ListBox Me .MaskedTextBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ComboBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox ...Show All

• .NET Development Why Tables.Rows.Count is 0 even though rows are displayed in DataGrid

  1. I have a webforms application. 2. I am checking the number of rows is higher than 0 if (DataSet1.Tables(0).Rows.Count() > 0) 3. The value is always 0 even though I have retrieved rows from this DataTable into my DataGrid. Any Ideas Please help.. This occurs in Web-Forms Applications. I thought you only have to fill in the DataSet once. And then be able to use the data contained in it on any future call. But the data is reset when a Post Back occurs. So I am filling up the dataset again in the Page_Load(). Making sure it is not within a "If Not (Page.IsPostBack)" statement. If anybody knows of a better method(where I would only call the DB once) please let me know. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions printscreening program

  Hey, I'm working on a simple remote control program. But now I stuck on the printscreen thing. My id was that you can see what the other is doing by taking screenshots and sending them to the host. (as compressed as possible) Now, my question is: "how do I make a printscreen program" And then you can use the GZipStream or DeflateStream class to turn it into small packets across the Internet. Of course, you're re-inventing the wheel. This open source project might jump-start your project... ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Event following animation?

  How would I go about causing an event to occur but only after an animation has completed <cue select="id('MainMenu')" begin="id('MainMenu')[style:visibility()='visible']" dur="1s"> <animate additive="sum" style:y="90px;0px"/> <event name="HideMainMenu" /> </cue> Would it potentially be easier to move the menu off the screen, and just disabled it as part of the navigation If so, how is that done. Thanks for the help in advance. Events that fire when an animation ends would be very nice :-) Unfortunately they are not in the spec though. Probably the easiest way to do this is with a seq animation, although the & ...Show All

• Visual Basic Process not completing

  I have a vb form that runs a command line executable that creates a diff file from two existing files. When I run the program from the command line it creates a 419Mb diff file. When I run it as a process from my VB program it gets to ~400 Mb and stops. If I kill the VB program the command line executable continues to run and finishes the diff file. So I have 2 questions. Why does the process stop before for it finishes when I run it inside vb Why does the program continue to run when I kill the VB app. Here is my code Private Sub xdelta( ByVal strFile1, ByVal strFile2, ByVal strDelta) Dim strError As String Dim p As New Process Dim info As New ProcessStartInfo info.UseShellExecute = False ...Show All

• Windows Forms Results from a worker thread into main thread?

  I have a C# dll which provides an event of SqlDependency Notification messages to clients via a delegate. The event fires ok and I get the expected data. The problem lies when I try to get the resulting dataset into a DataGridView without having to implement a manual refresh via button click. I'd like for this to automatically update upon change. I'm thinking the reason is because the data is coming from a worker thread within the SqlDependency class and I have to create some means of marshalling it into the main (gui) thread. Below is my first whack at the event handler but for some reason it does not work. That is I still have to mash a refresh button. Can anyone offer a suggestion void ExcepNotification_NewExceptionNotification(Data ...Show All
