• Visual Basic Searching Records on Windows Form

  I can't seem to find a solution for this anywhere! Everywhere I've searched on Google always shows me how to do this with a datagrid - but not a form. I've created a form which correctly displays all my fields in a recordset. I can scroll through them, add new records, delete records, etc. etc. and everything is fine. I now want to add a Search field to the form so that when the user enters a search string, it automatically searches through the dataset and refreshes the display to display the appropriate search result (i.e. populates the currently open form with the appropriate record). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks DeborahK, however I don't seem to have the 'productretievelist' op ...Show All

• Visual C# Convert TimeSpan to format DD:HH:MM:SS without the milliseconds

  Hi I have an application that needs to display duration time which is calculated with the TimeSpan class. The representation should be formatted as: D:HH:MM:SS (D=days, HH=hours, MM=minutes, SS=seconds). When applying the ToString method of the object it yields out the exactly what we need (including negative values). Quote from MSDN: "A string that represents the value of this instance. The return value is of the form: [-][d.]hh:mm:ss[.ff] Items in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional, colons and periods (: and.) are literal characters; " The issue is the optional decimal second fraction, we don't need it. Please advice how can we eliminate this milliseconds optional representation. Thanking you in advance Ilan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ASP.NET Integration

  I'm curious as to the plans you have for integration with ASP.NET, especially things like the ObjectDataSource control. Given that there's no template for ASP.NET, I suspect that you've not done much work in this area specifically. I'm particularly thinking about Update/Delete scenarios; while the EDF entity works well through through the ObjectDataSource, I'm wondering if you're thinking of more involvement. For example, removing the requirement for actually having methods to perform Insert/Update/Delete operations; could these somehow be implemented as part of the entity itself Have you thought about this at all If creating the methods is a requirement (and I can think of many reasons why it could be), are there improvements I can do ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing Optional Arrays to a Sub

  In Visual Basic 2005, I am trying to create a sub in a class that takes an optional string(). However, I am unable to figure out how to set the default value. I have already tried: Public Sub getData(Optional ByVal postData() as String = {"", ""}) However, I get an expression required error at the {. Also, I tried the New String(), but then I get the error saying it must be a constant. What am I missing Thanks. Optional Pararmeters require a constant and as a constant cannot be declared as an array you can't do this. Why not use an overloaded function - Private Sub GeData( ByVal postData As String ()) ' my work End Sub Private Sub GeData() ...Show All

• SQL Server Strange GROUP BY Statement Output

  I am currently straching my head as to why the following doesn't work as I expect. I have Three tables UsersManagers, Users and Bookings:- SELECT MAX(UsersManagers.UsernameUser) AS UserID, SUM(Bookings.HoursTotal) AS NumHours FROM UsersManagers LEFT OUTER JOIN Users ON Users.Username = UsersManagers.UsernameUser LEFT OUTER JOIN Bookings ON Bookings.Username = Users.Username WHERE UsersManagers.UsernameManager = 'testPM1' AND (Bookings.DateOfBooking BETWEEN '01 October 2006' AND '31 October 2006') GROUP BY UsersManagers.UsernameUser This statement returns only one username with the hours they have booked in my Bookings table. However the left outer joins (I would have thought) should return an entry even if there are no hours booked for a u ...Show All

• SQL Server Semi-additive measures and date filters

  While testing against a very small cube, we've noticed that a query in the BIDS browser that uses a date filter with semi-additive measures (either LastNonEmpty or AverageofChildren) runs very slowly or never returns at all. When the same measures are used with the same date hierarchy as rows, the query response is very fast. Any other dimension can be used in the filter without this issue. The semi-additive measures work correctly in either case. We have the lastest hotfix ( 2153) applied to Enterprise Edition. Our customer browser applications shows the same behaviour as OWC in BIDS. Anyone have any ideas on why this doesn't work See the latest hotfix at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Show ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Scale a Polyline - Transformation??

  Hi together, I have got a polyline object which is used for drawing a chart on a canvas object. Now I want to tranform the polyline object to fit on the canvas. So first I want to calculate the needed scaletransform object. To do this, I tried to get the width and heigth of the polyline so that I can calculate the transformation in respect to the canvas. But I alwas get "0,0" for the width and height of the polyline (RenderSize, ActualHeight, ActualWidth and so on). So my question, how can I calculate the necessary transformation when I can't get the current width or height of the polyline object Cheers, Franz What is the polyline sitting on A custom control If you render your polyline on a ...Show All
