• Visual Studio Unable to install extracted IMG for VS.NET 2005

  I downloaded the 90 day trial for Visual Studio 2005 last night. After seeing the image file I decided to extract the .img into the full contents for the fastest install. This did take some time on my computer but after the extraction of the files were complete I did not see any error. I went into the 'vs' directory and tried the following: 1) autorun.exe - black cmd prompt box pops up then quickly goes away 2) setup.exe - I get the cmd box that displays 'program is too big to fit into memory' 3) vs_setup.exe - A popup dialog box that says 'the installation package cannot be opened'. http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/dtdono0/DOTNET/install_error.jpg I do not understand why I would be getting something that says I ...Show All

• SQL Server Export Wizard disturb order of data during exporting Data to Acess 2003 from SQL server 2005

  I am using the following query to export data from sql server to ms access in export data wizard: SELECT * FROM myView where myID = 123 Order by varcharColumnName1,varcharColumnName2 ,intColumnName3 This query will fetch about 7, 00,000 records. SQL server 2005 shows the correct order, but Data in access table shows Incorrect order of data. Please give me the solutions. Speaking logically, sets and tables don’t have order. Order can be specified in a SELECT. Order can be the result of a clustered index but typically there is no guarantee of order without an explicit ORDER BY. This is generally true of all Relational Databases. Did you try placing an index on the Access table ...Show All

• Visual C++ Size of the dialog box changes with resolution of the system running it.

  Hello! Application that i am working on has an interface dialog box. The problem is that , when the same application is run on a different system with lower resolution, the dialog box's extends out of the viewing area, hiding away important controls. I ve heard of a property called 'Dockable' which results in the application resizing itself according to the system's resolution. Please suggest a better alternative. That's an inherent limitation of Windows dialogs.  Dialog dimensions are based on dialog units: which is a function of font type and size.  You can try using a smaller font; but, in most cases your dialog is simply too big to handle the smallest Windows resolution (640x480 or 800x600).  Docking a dialog ...Show All

• Visual Basic Splitting a string

  I have a textbox as and input field for a SQL database search. If the user inputs a full name (first, "space", last name) I want to split this string into two values. Is there an easy way to do this I have a string.isindex searching for a space and if there is then I need to split the two values into two different variables. Thanks for the information. You can use string's Split() method, like in: Dim parts() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split( New Char () {" "c}) If there isn't any spaces in the textbox's text, the returned array will only contain one item. And if you need to split the string at the first space only, use: Dim parts() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cross-Tab Columns to span multiple rows

  Hello delevopers A quick question for those well experimented report makers... I would like a cross-tab object in a report to wrap its columns to a second row... My Corss-tab report may be form 7 to 30 days, one day in each column. But, when it is 30 columns long, its width doesn't fit in a sheet of paper, even if its landscape, so, I would see if it is possible to make the crosstab that when it reaches a specific lenght (either by number of columns or by total width of the control) it continue to print the columns in a second row. Do you think it's possible what would I need to do Thanks in Advance MarkX ...Show All

• SQL Server No row delimiter for Fixed Length Flat File destination?

  When I use SQL 2000 DTS Export to create a fixed length flat file, the data rows are delimited by carriage return-line. Which means that when I open the flat file in a text editor like UltraEdit or WordPad, the data rows are broken out nicely (row ends at the max row length position and new row starts at position 0). But when I use SSIS to create the file, the whole file is displayed as one line in WordPad. The data rows don't end at the max row lenght position in ultraEdit neither. From Flat File Connection Manager's Preview page, I can see the data rows are displayed properly. Now I wonder if the flat file destination is a true fixed length file. MS in their infinite wisdom renamed what wa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Beta 2 - Missing theme parts?

  Hi, I'm currently developing under Vista and maintaining apps written for Windows XP which use custom drawn theme elements quite extensively and have noticed that various parts of the default Vista theme are not defined - for example: "startpanel" no longer has "SPP_USERPANE" defined for DrawThemeBackground() Obviously, I realise that Vista doesn't make use of the top/bottom elements of the startpanel like WindowsXP does but am wondering if I am to expect themes to be 'partially' defined like this in the final version Ok, I can check the OS i'm running on and whether the result of DrawThemeBackground() is S_OK (or checking if the part is defined) but i'm unsure as to whether start making adaptations now based ...Show All
