• Visual Basic Question about executing a program written in Java from an application being developed in VB .NET.

  Hi, I would like to execute a program written in Java from an application that I am developing in VB .NET. Can this be done by writing: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("java MyClass", "arg1, arg2, ..., argn") Any advice will be helpful! Thank you. You won't get it to start that way but you can get it to run as a script as long as you have a script host registered on your system: Dim P As New Process P . StartInfo . FileName = "MyClass.js" P . StartInfo . Arguments = "Arg0, Arg1,.... ArgN" P . Start () ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrices in reporting services

  Hello All, I am attempting to produce a Summary report that will detail all financial losses incurred by a company. These losses are seperated into categories and each category has two types, direct and indirect. To date I have employed the use of multiple matrices. The problem is that if the company has incurred no losses for a specific category then this will cause the matrix to automatically cater for the lack of this column. However I want this to show up regardless of there being data... I cannot employ the use of tables...as it simply does not work! Does anyone have any suggestions Ideas All would be appreciated!! Thanks JrDevRon, You could return "Zeros" or Blank space in your SQL where n ...Show All

• Architecture DAO pattern

  Hi All, I have a question related to the DAO pattern I have seen a project in which , we had a single factory for the whole database and helper classes for supported databases. I think that would be better pattern to address transaction and connection problem compared to DAO in which we have single factory for each table. Can you please guide me what prompts us to have factories for each table rather than for whole application. What are advantages and disadvantages in these two approches Please provide me with your comments Hi DeborahK, Yes, i am asking about the same pattern's advantages and disadvantages over DAO pattern in which we create one factory for one table.

• Windows Forms Windows service uninstall/install issue

  I have a WCF application which I want to expose as a Windows Service. The windows service starts but fails to stop due to some exception in the Stop() method implementation of the installer class. When I try to stop the service it gets into disabled mode, and I am unable to uninstall the windows service. Please help me to remove the windows service from the system Thanks. I don't think it's your installer class that's broken, it's the code in your OnStop in the service, so add some diagnostics to it. As a way to fix up your system and delete the service, the WMI Win32_Service class will do it. Enable the service then use this VBScript as an example, with your service name instead: dim servicelist, service, fso, a, plist,p ...Show All

• SQL Server "Failed to load expression host assembly. Details: StrongName cannot have an empty string for the assembly name. "

  I previously had an ASP.NET 1.1 site running on my IIS 6.0 server ( not the default website) with Reporting Services running in a subdirectory of that website.  I recently upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0 for my website and was greeted with an error when trying to view a report.  The error was very non-descript, but when I checked the server logs, it recorded the details as "It is not possible to run two different versions of ASP.NET in the same IIS process.  Please use the IIS Administration Tool to reconfigure your server to run the application in a separate process."   First of all, I could not figure out where and how to do this.  Secondly, I decided to try to also change the Reporting Services folders to run ASP. ...Show All
