• Visual Studio Express Editions I do a use the textbox name with out typing it

  i am trying to take the texbox name and then send it to another procedure without typing the name of the textbox from the leave event of the textbox Normally when you create an event handler say for a windows forms application event there are two parameters - normally the first is sender as object and the second is some kind of EventArgs. Some examples are Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged End Sub Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click,Button2Click End Sub The sender is actually identifying which control is initiating this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Migration error TF60096 - false alarm??

  First: We've (test)migrated a small VSS database to TFS, following the instructions in " Walkthrough: Migrating from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation ". The Migration report shows 13 errors, all of the same type/description: "TF60096: Unable to migrate due to Team Foundation Error: The item $/...path.../<filename> could not be found in your workspace" . In the "File or Folder" column a specific version of the containing folder is menitoned (it seems), but when checking in the original VSS database, the projectfolder has not reached this version number. The file is OK in TF, and identical with the version in VSS. This type of error also occurs on items, that are deleted (but not destroyed/purged) in VSS. Since this is ...Show All

• SQL Server Currency Conversion SSAS 2005

  I would like to have calculated members in a currency dimension that will apply an exchange rate to all applicable measures based on what the user selects. All measures in the fact table are stored in one currency (USD) but need to be reported in a variety of currencies. In AS 2000 this was accomplished via a lookup cube. I have read the documentation on books on line regarding currency conversion with the Business Intelligence Wizard in SSAS 2005 and this seems overly complicated and will not work based on our needs (since our data is stored in one currency and only the most recent exchange rate is important, no date dimension is necessary). I have a fact table with with currency code and converstion rate. Since all of our measures are ...Show All

• Windows Forms dataset question

  Hi, I have been programming VB for a while now and lately I decided to give C# a try. Currently I am wrestling with Datasets and I need to know how to access a particular cell in a Dataset using C#. In VB I would do this: DSData.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(j) but C# doesn't have the .Item for the Datarow. How do I do this in C# Thanx it should be: DSData.Tables[0].Rows[ i ].ItemArray[j] or even better: DSData.Tables[0].Rows[ i ][j] of course there is no space between the i - its just for the forum editor to prevent it from displaying an emoticon does this help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build Type problem

  Hi all, I've created a build type template that avoids having to sepecify a specific solution to build and a specific test metadata file to use using the code: <SolutionToBuild Include="$(SolutionRoot)\**\*.sln" /> and <MetaDataFile Include="$(SolutionRoot)\**\*.vsmdi"> The problem occurs when I modify the files contained in a team project. For example, when I delete a solution and then build my template the build will fail but the following build will build successfully. I assume this is because each build is based on the last and when something changes from the last build it messes things up. This might not be the case and I'm speaking rubbish. I'm wondering if anyone knows the reason ...Show All
