• Windows Forms Problem creating master/detail form w/customer/orders

  It's a pretty simple question: I have a few tables: customers, orders, orderdetails, products etc. I have created relations between these tables. The problem is that i want to create a form with ORDERS as the "master". When showing an order, i want to see details about the customer who ordered it, and details about the products that was ordered. How would i do this Note: I do NOT want to have customers as master, and display orders based on which customer selected - i want the opposite, and that's the problem... Sorry for not reading the things properly. Whay you need is the opposite. But, in fact, this is symetrical just replace Order by Client in the above. In fact, make a Cl ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development WMP11 Bugs in just a casual hour of usage...

  I got a new MP3 player that could benefit from WMP11, so I installed it and here are some bugs in just an hour usage: 1. If you paste Album Art, for some reason all the other ones that do not have Album Art gets temporarily updated as well. It seams to go away when you actually click the file that got updated mistakenly to play it. 2. Update the MP3 Tag info outside WMP11 using some Mass Tag editor software and bingo.... WMP11 has no clue what is going on... I click the file hoping WMP11 will update the info associated automatically, but it just disappears, the new Artist name and Album name I provided are nowhere to be seen. 3. Update Album Info is not effective at the very least. 4. Can you provide a fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Retrieve DATA from relation db from within a Cube (calculated member)

  Hello, I need the ability to retrieve data element that is stored in a relational DB from within a cube (calculated measure). Is there a way to do this If so, can someone please indicate how If not, is there a way to store some data which is really independant of any measure or dimension in a cube I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, Not sure what your question is. The cube you build contans data Analysis Server reads from relational database. By accessing cube you access copy of the data retreived from relational database. If you would like Analysis Server not to store copy of relational data, you can define storage mode for AS objects as ROLAP. In this case MDX queries will generat ...Show All

• Windows Forms WebBrowser doesn't have a "find" method?

  Hey, I'm a novice here and I've been looking though the MSDN documentation on the WebBrowser control and noticed there was no method for finding text in a document. This is a pretty serious omission. Is there a way of getting this functionality this.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText; //gets or sets the HTML Text to be displayed It's weird that they didn't include this in the documentation...I hope it's not limited to VB only. Take a look at this, check to see if it has the find feature: I don't think it does...or at least, they don't mention it. I wonder how commercial IE-based browsers like Maxthon managed to implement find Thanks for the help by the way. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development C# IE toolbar: how to use ShowBrowserBar to make the toolbar initially visible?

  Hi, As I'm programming in C#, I'm using the DeskBand object http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp , rather than the MSDN .net kbbar sample which is written in managed C++. I would like to make the toolbar visible after its installation. Do you know a way to do this I tried to use code like this: Object oShow = true; Object dummy = false; Object vGuid = t.GUID.ToString("B"); // or this.GetType().GUID... Explorer.ShowBrowserBar( ref vGuid, ref oShow, ref dummy); but the problem is: where do I put this code ! If I put it in the SetSite method, it is called when the toolbar is displayed, so too late! Ideally, I would have liked to make it visible in the Register method, but unfortunately, the Explorer is not ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute DTS 2000 Package Task. Mischievous task??

  Hi everyone, For first time I'm testing this task and surprisingly, when I try "Edit Package" option: 1)The DTS host failed to load or save the package properly 2)The selected package cannot be opened 3)Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component But after these messages you can see all the tasks but they haven't name!! It seem as if RCW mechanism has failed between managed and unmanaged coded-partially. I don't dare to follow doing more stuff, I don't know if that package is well-loaded or not from there. Any guidance or idea about this Do you mean that you are trying to open the DTS package from Management Studio via the Mana ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Approval Workflow in SharePoint 2007

  We know that SharePoint 2007 comes with a set of out of box workflows.One of the features of the workflow that I found to be awkard and strange is that when the document is being routed through an approval workflow, each person in the approvers list is assigned a task. While editing the task the end user can enter his comments. An email goes as an alert to the next user regarding the task being assigned to him. But in the email, you never get to know what were the comments of the previous user. All the comments are consolidated and emailed at the end of the workflow. In the intermediate stages one has to log on to the Sharepoint site and check in the workflow status. Please share your views and thoughts ...Show All
