• Visual C# Format String??? Help --->

  I need to convert a string from bytes to megabytes. I have this so far: label1.Text = string.Format( ) but how do I format the string > I can only assume you mean to divide a number in a string by a million. in that case string.Format would be useless for this. String.Format can be used to divide by a million, e.g.: String.Format("{0:0,,MB}", 1234000) gives "1MB" String.Format("{0:#,##0,,.0MB}", 1234000) gives "1.2MB" String.Format("{0:#,##0,,.00MB}", 1234000) gives "1.23MB" But you will need to divide if you want "real" megabytes, i.e. divide by (1024*1024). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with Drag & Drop

  Hi! I have the following problem: In my workflow designer host application I have a toolbox implementing ItoolboxService like in the Designer Rehosting example. When I drag items from the toolbox onto the design surface, a correct drag item is shown along with the name of the activity. But when I drop them on the surface, I get a NullReferenceException in the overriden OnDragDrop event of the root activities designer, more precisely when base.OnDragDrop is called. The Activity DragEventArgs seem to be correct tho... When I use the ToolboxService class of the Designer Rehosting example, everything works fine. Although I use exactly the same serialization/deserialization methods as the example... (and the Activity DragE ...Show All

• SQL Server Configure Report Server with SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

  I'm having a world of trouble with the Reporting Services Server. The install went fine. I went in to configure the Report Server and when creating the Report Server and the Report Manager virtual directories I get the following error: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used." The problem with this is that I have not previously set a virtual directory.

• Software Development for Windows Vista iso file locking

  I'm doing iso image writing following the sdk sample code - converted to use ATL. After the write, which completes with success, the function is exited, and all the atl objects seem to go out of scope with no leaks that I can see. Outside of the function, I try to delete the iso, but DeleteFile fails with a GetLastError(): "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." Is there some kind of Close() call I need to be calling on one of the interfaces ( IDiscFormat2Data or IStream maybe ) After "fixing" this I happily moved on, only to discover to my dismay that when running debug binaries outside of the debugger, my code crashes ...Show All

• SQL Server T-SQL Badly needed

  To one of our sql server database Table A , we need to migrate data from another sql server database Table B . Assume there are two columns in a table namely OrderID and Comments . Here OrderID is a foreign key. And therefore, I can have any number of comments for a Particular OrderID. Thru a TSQL query, I wish to have all the Comments data beside the OrderID seperated by comma like Ord1 Comm1, Comm2, Comm3 Ord2 Comm5, Comm6.

However, on a new installation I performed on a clean box, there is nothing under that directory except for the \PrivateAssemblies subdirectory.

• Visual Studio Express Editions concerning media player

  renee where do I post pause button code Here's the point. It's a burden and I recognize that. I'm here to help you. So in my eyes, the question becomes, to what extent are you willing to help someone who is helping you Who is to assume the burden. It's not easy to debug a noobie's code. It's much worse when I have to do the mental gymnastics to format your code in my head. That really distracts me from helping you. I'm really willing to work hard for people but I do have expectations. My expectation is that they do their share of the work and not have me do all of it. If they want to put unreadable code up, fine. In that case, I feel they haven't done everything they can to make things easy for the volunteer who i ...Show All

• SQL Server Failure to authendicate domain/users

  I have several access databases in mind to migrate to SQL server. I installed MS SQL 2005 Express on my machine. I will have procedures to run with authorizations beyond that of a common user, such as database administrative work where server agent is not available, I may rely on users' log-on prompt to do some maintenance work.
