• Windows Forms Docking TableLayoutPanel

  I have a splitcontainer, which contains a docked table layout panel. I want to dock the tablelayout panel to fill, but without anchoring. When the users resize the form, I want the table layout panel to stretch vertically and horizontally, but I want EACH cell within the table to proportionally resize. Right now, the only way I can dock to fill is to have a top and left anchor, and when that happens, only the top two cells of the 4 row by 1 column table layout panel stretch vertically (and all of the cells stretch horizontally). How do I have it so that all of the 4 rows stretch proportionally both vertically and horizontally This forum is messed up.

• SQL Server Compatibility with SQL 2000

  I have moved a database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 Express. I have modified the structure in 2005 Management Studio Express. Now I cannot attach to the modified dataabse in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager. I get "Error 602: Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID.... Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes". This occurs despite the fact that I have kept the database at Compatibiluty Level SQL Server 2000, as reported in 2005 Management Studio Express. Are 2005 and 2000 databases not compatible Many thanks. Compatability Mode has nothing to do with the database format, it has to do with how commands are run by the database engine. Databases are automatically converted to ...Show All

• .NET Development Stripping diacriticals from string?

  Is there a .Net string method that will strip diacriticals from strings That is, what can I replace ToNoDiacriticals with to get the following to work: string foreign = "Bia owie a"; if (foreign.ToNoDiacriticals().Equals("Bialowieza"))     System.Console.Writeln("Works!"); The typo I meant was changing "(c <= 0x0300)" to "(c < 0x0300)". This may be why you were getting an accented e. I got a response from the client and it's worse than I suspected. They're trying to use user-entered strings for filenames and URLs, so they not only want diacritics removed, but converted to 7-bit ASCII with metacharacters like :, ", ', , /, *, and so on removed. Ugh. I'm going to ...Show All

• SQL Server Copying variables from another package

  HI, we have something like 120 packages that need to be "upgraded" to a newer version of a template. Basically, we need to add a bunch of variables of various types (12-15 variables). Is there a way to open the package in a script task and add those variables programmatically Or is there another way to do it (e.g. modify the dtsx file) Thank you, Ccote There's no way to do this using the Designer. However a package is just an XML document so you try adding a new variable by processing those XML documents using XQuery. If you work out how to do that - reply here and let me know -Jamie   ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting the sheet names in Excel

If I run the main report and then select export to excel the sub reports are called Sheet1, sheet2, sheet3 How can I change those sheet names I tried setting the bookmark, label and tooltip but no luck.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies MySite masterpage

  Hi All, On MOSS2007: I'm trying to change the default masterpage for mySites. I tried to edit the default.aspx in the 12/templates/sitetemplates/spspers folder, but I can't seem to let it point to another master ... as soon as I change the masterfile path, the page breaks.

• Software Development for Windows Vista workflow designer

  Hi All, I wonder whether it is possible to host the workflow designer in my app.  I thought it would be cool if I can have the workflow designer as my app's GUI. Thanks, DK I had to put my workflows in the GAC in order to have the Workflow Monitor reliably find them. And in order to put a Workflow into the GAC, you first have to set the Build property of each Workflow dll to have a strong key. And before you do that, I believe you have to go to the Visual Studio 2005 Command prompt and use the sn command to create the strong key. ...Show All
