• Windows Forms Create a Strong Name for Com DLL so ClickOnce will work

  I'm having a heck of a time tryin to get this stuff working. Here's my problem: We have a 2.0 VB.NET desktop app that uses Com components from our phone system. When you make references to the COM components for the project, they create the Interop.xxx.dll files in the project's bin folder. Well, I'd like to figure out how to get them into the GAC or how to some how make them strong named so that they'll work when I try to deploy them with ClickOnce. I've tried to use regfree com to deploy them and that doesn't work (I can provide the error if it will help). I've also tried to drop the Interop.XXX.dlls into the GAC and that won't work because they're not strongly named. Now, maybe if I could figure out how to name them strongly it would wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Days of Week and Color Names instead of data

  I'm new to CR with VS 2005. All I'm trying to do is to create a report from the fields of a table in an MS Access db. I used the wizard and selected all fields. Of the fields I have A_Number, which is a number up to 13 characters. When this is displayed in the report it shows days of the week instead of the actual A_Number data. I also have a field for Record which shows up with color names, like Fuscia for example, instead of the actual data. After reviewing the rest of the data in the table and what is displayed in the report none of the data displayed is correct. It is as if it is getting it from thin air. Any ideas By any chance are you doing any sort of record selection in the report And a really sil ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Join question

  Hi, All, In the data flow of Intergration Service, my understanding is that the "Merge Join" only does the "join", there is no way to input the "where" clause. If I need to input the the "Where" clause or selection criteria, how should I do it in Integration Service TIA, With other popular ETL tool, in one transformation, you can do both "join" and "where". But in SQL Server 2005 Integration service, you have to use two transformation to finish the task. ...Show All

However, when the report is exported to excel, the field value shows up as a decimal ie 0.4. How do i keep the number to show as an integer only ie 0, when exported to excel. Are you specifying a format code to only display the integer, or is the underlying value actually an integer If it is the former, what is the format code you are using Ian ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Performance Problems

  Hi, I recognized, that my framerate is very bad in comparison with some C++ examples. After removing all "catchs" in the render-methods i got 100 FPS instead of 20. Exceptions seems to be really, really slow. Are there some other performace problems in C# which i have to have in mind Cache cache and more cache. Object creation is a fairly expensive (relatively speaking). So try not to create objects needlessly. When passing around structs use "ref" otherwise they will be passed by value. If some fields need to be accessed a lot but only by the classes in your assembly make them internal and let classes directly access them instead of through properties, because encapsulating them adds a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions noob question: what do windows applications use as a db?

  sorry but I have this totally noob question. I'm completely new at writing windows applications, and want to learn. I have a book (sams learn in 24hours), and it briefly goes over ADO. My question is, besides writing to a flat txt file, what do windows applications use as a database Obviously your standard XP desktop doesn't have a db server, so how do programs save information I'm basically creating a database, but want it to be an installable program, not an MS Access db. But I'm having trouble figuring out what to do in regards to a DB. I see you can use localized db's inside VB, but I keep reading that the user would still need sqlserver express or is that wrong spotty - from the impression ...Show All

• SQL Server stocked procedure (which returns plenty of rows) inside SELECT statement ?

  Hello, I want to recover rows returned by a stocked procedure into a select statement, something like this: select * from (exec sp_helpuser) us where UserName like 'dbo' This syntax is false. Is there a way to do this Thank you Mugambo: As I worked on this issue, I made several major changes : I don't need to drop the table, since its structure isn't going to change. Instead, I just include it as part of the script which creates the procedure. ==> create table UsersTable ( ... ) Each time the procedure is called, I empty the table ==> delete from UsersTable refill it ==> insert into UsersTable exec sp_helpuser do my query ==> select GroupName from UsersTable where UserName like CURRENT_USER then rollback.
