• SQL Server Merge: Records associated by a JOIN Filter not being sent to a subscriber

  Hi, I have a merge (SQL 2005 Standard -> Express) topolgoy which is having problems  The main problem is that the join filters don't seem to work for one area and I am hoping someone can help me with some troubleshooting advice There are 140+ tables in the topology but the ones causing  particular  pain are a parent child relationship where the child is actually a bridge/linking table to another table. Therefore although it is a parent child in the replication filters it is the reverse. i.e. the child has the paramterised filter on it and the parent is one level down joined by it's id.  There are other tables joined to this parent table but it stays at three levels deep.  The @join_unique_k ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding Menu Separator to a ComboBox

  I would like to be able to add menu separator items to a ComboBox control. I'm guessing I'm going to have to create a derived class and override the OnPaint() method. Any suggestions on the best way to draw it Are there any existing examples of doing this - be great if I could avoid re-inventing the wheel! Many thanks in advance, John If you set the DrawMode of a ComboBox to OwnerDrawVariable, you can handle the MeasureItem and DrawItem events; you don't need to derive your own class. If you maintain a List of item indexes before which you want a separator, you can add some extra height to those items in the MeasureItem event, and draw the line in the DrawItem event, something like this: private ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional count

  Hello, I have a report, for which I want to do a conditional count. The table is something like this: ID Date Description 1 30-09-2000 10:36:06 Desc1 2 15-03-2000 11:45:11 Desc2 3 12-07-2005 16:21:10 Desc3 4 10-09-2006 11:12:18 Desc4 (...) I want to count only the entries where the Date field has the value 2000. The expressiona that I am using is the following one: =Sum(IIF(Fields!Date.Value.ToString().Contains("2000"),1,0)) It is giving me the right value but my problem is that the value apears repeated. Something like: CountResult 2 2 2 (...) What I want to have is just one value of the conditional count. Has ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Returning an array of types defined with a data contract.

  I have a method that looks like: ReturnType[] A(RequestType request) The ReturnType is defined in the data contract. I am not sure how to define a message contract for an array of types defined with data contract. I think that is why I am getting the following error: The operation 'A' could not be loaded because it has a parameter or return type of type System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message or a type that has MessageContractAttribute and other parameters of different types. When using System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message or types with MessageContractAttribute, the method must not use any other types of parameters. The request type (RequestType) is defined in the service contract with [MessageContract] etc. I think what I need ...Show All

• Visual C# Another form or an assembly?

  I am in the process of creating a larger piece of software, more in the design, than implementation. I am trying to find out the best practices. At the same time I am trying to figure out how visual studio can help me in these things. I have a main form, from where I run the other items of my project. Basically a form with buttons that load other forms. Now in my project, a have all these forms now. Would it be a better idea to make this into an assembly per form What I mean is that the main form just loads the correct assembly, when you click a button. Thanks in advance :) Sune P.S.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML Browser Application

  Hi, I have "traditional" .aspx page. This page has small IFRAME Element of size 20x20. I want this IFRAME element to invoke WPF browser application (.xbap url in src attribute). I assume this should not be a problem. Next, my .xbap in IFRAME at runtime generates a "Canvas" of size 400x400. My question is can I make this "Canvas" to cross boundries of IFRAME and render all over base page elements if not, is there any suggestion/workaround for this Thanks in advance.

However, another question (may not be exactly related to this) is can one xbap application in a IFRAME be able to talk to another xb ...Show All

• SQL Server using sp_helpuser from an ASP query in sql2005

  hello, i have created an ASP application that writes to a SQL 2005 database. We've recently upgraded to 2005; it was 2000 previously. i have a form that shows all the logins for the application. This is to allow administrators of the application to set special permissions for users. When I run a query using 'sp_helpuser' in SQL 2000, it shows all the users of the application. the query looks like this: strSQL = "sp_Helpuser" from there, I create a connection and open up a recordSet. In SQL2000, this works fine. I see all the users of the application. however, since we moved to SQL2005, this query produces unexpected results. It is like the database that it is reporting about is 'master', not the production database. ...Show All
