• SQL Server Use of public variables

  Hi, I'm actually using global public variables in the custom code of my reports. Is there a "chance" that , if the report is executed at the same time by two users, values calculated for an user will be crushed by other user's execution Thanks in advance. Gregory. It sounds like you are using public static variables. If you need to be 100% certain to avoid values being calculated by other users, you can make each of the shared variables a hash table based on user ID (i.e. =Globals!UserID). -- Robert ...Show All

• SQL Server Using OLE object within a procedure

  Can anyone help me address pros and cons of calling OLE object within a stored procedure. As we know system stored procedures such as sp_OACreate, sp_OAMethod are used to create and call OLE objects. I have to decide between whether it is advisable to use sp_ in my procedures or to do something outside the database. I need to use an external component to transfer files between FTP servers. This can be done using a procedure and job to schedule the calls. Thank you, Yogesh Generally speaking, it is a given that accessing external resources from within the database server has lot of implications - security, reliability, scalability, manageability etc. And one of the things we did in SQL Server 2 ...Show All

• .NET Development ASP.NET EXCEL TO XML CONVERSION

  I am using asp.net and i need to convert an excel file into an xml file and send it as an dataset/datatable parameter to the server. the point is i want this to be done at the client side only. Appologies... sometimes when I am at work, my attention to detail with respect to side tasks is limited. If the excel file is already located on the client's computer... then you might consider ODBC. You can actually use an Excel file like a datasource (a database) and retrieve records in much the same way. Writing the Xml file should be easy enough. I would do a search on MSDN for Excel + ODBC to see what sort of suggestions I could find with respect to such. I believe that the data tables will be named $sheet0 ... $sheetn and the field ...Show All

• Visual C++ BuildAction Property in C++?

  I can not find the Build Action Property seen in C# on an XML file, in my C++/CLI project. I am converting a large C# control to C++/CLI. The author of the control seems to have embedded an xml file into the assembly. I need help in figuring out how to do this in C++/CLI. The property list of the file under C# is considerably different than the propery list uder C++. Among the missing is: "Build Action: Embedded Resource". Please refer me to documentation where I can learn how to embed an xml file as a C++ project resource.

• Visual C# New to C#

  Hey guys. Could someone help point me in the right direction I'm new to programming other than classic ASP and using Microsoft Access along with it. I'm planning to learn C# and write my first application using that language. I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition. I've looked through a few "Hello World" tutorials and I'm pretty sure I can adapt to the OOP concept. However, what I'm looking for is something more in depth and more involved than a "Hello World" tutorial. I'd like a fairly detailed tutorial which can show me "real world" examples of how to do several things in a single application such as: 1. Connect to a DB (local and remote) 2. Add, Delete, Update DB Records in a DB (local and remot ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Weird backface glitch

  I'm not sure what's going on here; I wouldn't be surprised if it's just my video card. But has anyone seen this before cellphone_rendering_bugs.jpg That's a series of screenshots I took as the model rotated... the original model in Maya has all its normals facing the right way. I exported it as an FBX200611 model. I'm (unfortunately) using a Compaq Presario with an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE video card. I thought it might have been a matter of the near/far draw limits being too far apart and the Z buffer lacking the precision to draw this relatively small area properly, but I turned it down to 1.0 -> 100.0 and it still happens. Any thoughts Hahah, success! :) That was it, B1narySh0t! I had to tweak the co ...Show All

I have a form, its designed, and it ties in with another application that was pre-built. I dont know how it was done and I cant decipher it, its too complex. So what I want to do is just have another application pop open when this form is submitted. Any simple ideas would be really helpful. I have looked at the codig in the other application and I just cant get it. So I decided to just make a form and then on submit the other windows application opens up and the user then uses that.
