• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Group ToggleButtons

  Hi, I am looking forward to group ToggleButtons so as to make their checked status exclusive to each other, just like RadioButtons in group. Could someone please suggest the way out. I tried chaging the control Template but no luck. Thanks, Mahesh Thanks for responding. This seems like working great for me partially. Never Thought of using ListBox. I wanna bind different commands and input, to each of the toggle button in the group. How do I do that. Thanks, Mahesh ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple relationships between one fact and one dimension

  Hi, One of my old 2000 cube got converted so poorly that I rebuilt it from scratch. This cube has a fact table with 3 different version of an integer representing a week. In the new dataview, I linked the 3 weeks columns to one week column on a calendar dimension. Then I build a week shared dimension. It looks like it works, I have 1 shared dimension and in the cube dimension usage i have 3 dimensions based on that shared dim, each is using another column for the join. Sounds too god to be true. Where can I find more information on complex or exotic relationship I have to forget my old relational conception of relationship and joins, actually these may not be joins, this may be the bigest thing to forget.

• Windows Forms Textbox as Label

  Which Properties do I have to set how, to use a TextBox as Label I want to just display data, the user must not change it. When I use a TextBox and .Enabled = false. The appearance will change and the Field aren't that readalbe because to forecolor and the backcolor change to a very similar color.

So I want I TextBox, not focusable, with Black Fore-Color (ControlText) and Gray Background. I didn't find a solution for this. Plz Help! Hello All. tkrasinger: Have you tried setting ...Show All

• SQL Server Distributed Transactions. It doesn't RollBack

  Hello everyone, I'm using MSDTC on a package, it transforms data from an excel file to a SQL SERVER 2005 DB on a Foreach Container. Sometimes there might ocurr some transformation problems like data overflow or invalid caracters. Well i'm aware of this so i would like to perform a Rollback Operation in order to avoid the recording data on the db. But it doesn't, even though i'm using this transaction. The worst part comes when recording on a master table (master transformation task) and a detail task stops the package, So no record rolls back. Is there any consideration i'm not taking care of By the way, every task is using Transaction = Supported except of the Foreach Container so the It can read excel files independently of the others e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio - File LOCK

  This is interesting and I really need some help please. While using this namespace to play an mp3 file, one might call this method. audioPlayer = Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback. Audio .FromFile(fileToPlay); You would then just call audioPlayer.Play(); Here's the problem: This object does not support playing a file from a memoryStream, but a physical file. So if your media is in a database for example, you must write the file to the hard drive and then play it. So far so good. However, once that file has played through this object and you direct it to play the "next sound", you CANNOT delete the first one! DirectX seems to keep a handle on the file you created. Thus, in a multi-sound application the temporary files ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem Creating Data Adapter

  I'm using VB.Net 2003 and an SQL Database whihc is located on my <local> machine. The problem I'm having is, when I try to drag an SQL Adapter from the toolbox, and go through the steps using the wizard, the wizard only creates the SELECT statement, and then for the INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE commands it says "There were errors configuring the data adapter" I also tried to generate a form using the Form Wizard and was also unable to create the data adapter. Any ideas why I recently switched from an Access database to SQL and never had this problem with Access. I have checked and my tables do all have primary keys defined. Unfortunately the error message isn't very helpful. thanks in advance tattoo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Mobile Internet Framework Error

• SQL Server Help - Unusual Problem

  First, I can not change the data structure. I have a table called codesubsections that has an identity as the primary key. When a new codesubsection is entered the user can mark a formercodesubsection as a parent. The problem is that I need to be able to evaluate the table and identify the lowest CodeSubsectionID for a given row. so for instant when I look at row 7 it's text is 17 B p2 but because the CodeSubSectionID is not null I need to look at 6 then 5 and since 5 is null I need the text for 5,6,7 all to be 16:1 B. The only solution I have had any kind of luck with is to do a self join 3 times and coalesce the values up. See the code at the end. I am at my wits end, I had it working the other way assuming that the CodeSubSectionID wa ...Show All
