Where in the book does it describe how to write my own report viewer thanks.... ...Show All

• Visual Basic counting number of words (or regex) that appear in a string

  Is there a way of counting the number of times the word the appears in the sentence out of the frying pan into the fire I have an input string, which I want to test, I've tried:   regularexpresions.regex.ismatch(input, "the") but this only returns true or false   From my reading of the documentation I thought that the following would work regularexpresions.regex.match(input, "the").Groups.Count but this doesn't seem to give me anything that resembles what I want   I tried a loop dim counter as integer = 0 while regularexpresions.regex.ismatch(input, "the")    regularexpresions.regex.replace(input, "the", "") counter = counter+1 end while but the replaces replaces all mat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug - UI crash & Build fails without errors or warnings

  This is related to http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=848718&SiteID=1 but now I can reproduce the other error (project does not build) and it goes off topic, for that reason I'm starting a new thread. In the previous thread I (several other threads indicate this problem too) reached a state where it was no longer possible to build or deploy the project. In this state there were / are no errors or warnings when an attempt was made to build. I have found that this occurs when a file is deleted from the project and for some reason the project file is not updated to reflect the deletion. In this case it was a crash of the IDE caused by being to quick changing the focus after a delete. On restart the IDE did indicat ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving Data From Excel to SQL Server 2005 Express

  I am trying to load data from an Excel spreadsheet file into SQL Server 2005 Express. I understand that DTS is the best tool for doing this but from my research it appears that DTS is not available with the Express edition and the import wizard that does come with Express is not well suited for this type of conversion. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to achieve this objective Thanks for any help you can provide. Buck. Thanks for the very helpful information. I will be studying it and making some decisions on how to proceed. It is nice to have options!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Storing Stuff

  Dear All, This may seem a little simple to some of you but its been slowly winding me up for a while now, so any pointers or advice would be greatly received. What I'm looking to do is store information inside my application, with out using a database (I mean Access, SQL etc.) I have used *.bin files in the past but I'm not sure that they would meet the needs of what I need to do. The project is for a small charity and so far has about 850 records that they wish to store, they mainly use open source or freeware and need to be able to move the data between desks and back it up on a daily basis. Also some times they are not connected into the network so a local copy of the said information needs to be copied to the local machine. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Timers in a Workflow hosted in ASP.Net

  Hi I'm building a web based workflow application and need to monitor the progress of the requests entered into the application and if a request hasn't been actioned after a period of time; send a notification email. I've read several posts and bloggs that state the Persistence service is responsible for monitoring Workflows that are in an idle state and then responding to delays within the Workflow that expire. I realise that because of the nature of ASP.Net the runtime is unloaded after each call, so I'm confused as to how, if the service isn't instantiated, it can perform this task. Thanks for any help.

• Visual C# Can't catch Control-C

  Hey, I'm writing an application which relies heavily on the thread pool (on the order of more than a quarter million queued user work items). I'm also trying to program graceful program termination when control-C is pressed. I've got a Console.CancelKeyPress event set up and Console.TreatControlCAsInput is false, and before my user work items are queued, everything works fine and the handler gets called. However, once I start my massive parallel processing, the handler no longer gets called - pressing control-C does nothing for about thirty seconds, then the program is abruptly terminated without running the handler. I read in the documentation that CancelKeyPress events are run on thread pool threads, and I think it has to do with ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Access import to SQL Server 2005

  Hi, I have created a SSIS dtsx package file on my file system that I want to manipulate in .NET The package gets an access DB file and the a Preparation SQL Task creates the necessary sql statements for the data flow task. The data flow maps the tables from the source to the destination and then if you execute the package, it copies the Access DB into SQL Server. My problem is, I want to manipulate this package in code, so that I can change the path to the source Access DB and then re execute the Preparation SQL Task so it recreates the new SQL statements, and then I want to update the data flow so that I it uses the new SQL and creates the necessary tables. How is this possible in .NET I have looked everywhere and have found some topics ...Show All

• SQL Server How does SQL Server 2005 work with old applications

  Hello All, How does SQL Server 2005 work with all ready existing applications that ran on SQL Server 2000. Does SQL Native Client work backwards compatible to the old applications, And if it is, is there anything special I need to do. If it is not backwards compatible, do I need to use the old MDAC How would I use it in SQL 2005. Thanks all..... Nina You can use the SQL Server 2000 Best Practices Analyzer to scan an existing SQL Server 2000 database to look for problems that you may encounter when upgrading to SQL Server 2005. When you first upgrade a SQL 2000 database to 2005 (by restoring from a backup or detaching and the attaching), it will be in 8.0 compatibility ...Show All

• .NET Development Extending WSDL to use XML-RPC

  Hi, I am a computer engineering student currently working an internship. The company I work for runs database servers which use XML-RPC to communicate. We have recently started beta testing an automated testing software that accepts WSDL document input to learn how to interface with the SUT. The problem is that WSDL has built-in support for using SOAP-RPC, which is a little too modern for our servers. Is it possible to somehow extend WSDL such that the port bindings are done with XML-RPC, which would therefore make the automated testing software's communication understandable by our database servers Thanks for any pointers/links/help. I swear I've read the entire internet and not been able to find out how to do this! ...Show All

• .NET Development Object exposed with RemotingServices.Marshal becoming unavailable over time

  I originally posted this as a reply on a related thread. However, the main question in that thread had already been answered so I decided to seporate it. Somone in the other quoted the folowing from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y0h540a7.aspx : Singletons In COM, "singleton" meant that as long as clients had references to your object, the object would not be deleted from memory. In .NET remoting, however, a Singleton object is subject to the lifetime lease that was specified for it, so it can be recycled even if clients currently hold references to it. You can create the former type of Singleton object by overriding the InitializeLifetimeService method of MarshalByRefObject to return a null refere ...Show All
