• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Filling Related dataset...

  Hello all, I have a dataset that contains e.g. two tables, and they are related. (Parent -> Child) How can I fill the child table only with the rows that are related to a parent row in the parent table Lets say in my database I have a couple of parent rows, which has two child rows each in the child table. Now, I fill my parent table with one row from the parent table, and I only want the two child rows from the child table to be fill into the child table in the dataset. I could have gotten the same result by creating a dataset containing the result set from a simple SQL statment. (select bla, bla, bla, from parent, child where parent.id = child.parentid) My goal here is to use the result in a report. So the question is, is the first e ...Show All

• Visual Basic while inputbox

  Hi, i'm using vb 2005. my question is: i have this code: Dim x As String = "" While IsNumeric(x) = False x = InputBox( "Enter a number" , "New Value" , "0" ) End While How can i exit a while statement if the user pressed the cancel button in the inputbox Thanks... Personally, I wouldnt use the input box for a number of reasons 1. Its not easy to determine between a blank string returned or cancel being pressed. 2. It doesnt permit you to validate the input prior to clicking closing the form. So I prefer to create my own dialog forms - which are very easy to create with a return property. I can call this dialog which is easy to ...Show All

• .NET Development Ethereal - Can it watch socket on single machine

  I have a client and server program running on single machine for testing. They communicate via a socket. How can I watch what's happening with Ethereal Moon Hi, You cant, as this communication will not go via a network port. For this - if you were using HTTP communication you could have used TCPTrace as a proxy. I am not sure whether you can use some socks proxy instead If you put the client on an external machine, or check with a network wizard if there is any way to force the packets to be routed via the external network, then it might work. I had earlier seen a scenario where two different services on the same machine were listening on different ip addresses, on different network cards and ...Show All

• Windows Forms .net 2.0 programmatically add a row in datagridview

• SQL Server Calling stored procs based on a code table

  I need to run stored procs based on a list in a code table. In other words, it reads the name of a stored proc from a table and runs it and does this for all the rows in the table. I think the ForEach loop container will do what I need and there is an ADO enumerator option but the documentation does not tell you how to use this. From what I can tell, you need to get a dataset into an SSIS variable first and then you plug the variable name into the ForEach ADO enumerator. Is that correct If so, can someone tell me how to get a dataset into a variable Thanks Perhaps kirk's blog will help you: http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/knight_reign/archive/2005/03/25/9588.aspx ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Projects, objects & modules

  I started learning VBA in MS Word yesterday. I have some programming experience in C++ and Java. I am trying to understand how the environment is structured and what Projects, Objects and Modules represent. For example I recorded a few macros using the macro recorder and then opened the VB Editor to see what was created. I notice that under "Project" are 3 folders. One is named "Microsoft Word Objects". Within this folder is what looks like a file named "This Document". What does "Project" represent What does "This Document" represent What is the difference between "This Document" and the "Project&q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System time synchronizing

• .NET Development Possible to register a C# program to the R.O.T. for OLE automation?

  Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to "register" your own created c# program for OLE automation This would be the equivalent of accessing something in Excel via OLE. Like: Dim ExcelApp As Object ExcelApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application") Edit: and just to clarify, I understand how the GetActiveObject works (by looking up the object in the Running Object Table). I guess I need to know if it is possible to register a program with the Running Object Table. If it is an access problem you could try the value ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT during registration to allow processes of other users to see your COM object. Without further information it is quite difficu ...Show All
