• Visual Studio Automatic removal of unused variables?

  I have migrated my project from VS2003 to VS2005 and now getting lot of warnings such as unused variables.So is there any tool or utility which can remove such warnings --Deepak Hi Deepak, Gabriel is right - using ReSharper Quick Fixes functionality you can delete unused variables one by one, which is not very convenient if you have plenty of them. However, you can easily write a plug-in for ReSharper which does removal of unused variables automatically. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Making changes to Access database table - via Recordsets or Update Queries?

  Hi, firstly, sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum for this question (things seem to have changed recently). My question is this: I am writing some VBA code to automate a job that I perform regularly, in MS Access. I need to carry out updates to data in an Access table, in a repetitive manner. The data needs to be put in a format that is mailable, I need to create fields like Age (from dob), Age Bandings, Gender (from title) etc. Before I knew any VBA, this was all done with Access Update queries and some lookup tables, but I never bothered writing a macro to speed this up. Now that I understand recordsets a little better, I've written some code to automate much of what I need to do, but to be honest, I dont know whether t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Extra strip line

  Have noticed a little thing. I am drawing my background image in fullscreen mode placing it at 0,0, with backbuffer size. If at the same draw time graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear (Color) method is using, clscolor stripline in one pixel width is seen at the top and utmost left lines. It is not sufficient in this case though, you can set Color.Black or not use this method at all. Strange thing is going on. Failed to represent this situation today - was curious to put on the presentation surface 3d object and see the result at extra lines. Unfortunately I have not saved the exactly state of my project and list of all programs running at this point yesterday. So I'll have an attempt once more today. But I have ch ...Show All

• Windows Forms datagrid troubles with stored procedure (vs 2003)

  I have the following code: Dim daGrid1 As New SqlDataAdapter(Me.SqlCommand1) (a stored proc) Dim dsGrid1 As New DataSet dsGrid1.Clear() daGrid1.Fill(dsGrid1, "top") DataGrid1.DataSource = dsGrid1.Tables("top").DefaultView I set the command to a stored proce and fill a dataset, then set the datagrid1 to the dataset table. I can then see the data grid on the form filled out. I need to change the column headings, hide some columns, then click on a row, and get the hidden field and pass it on to another form. I thought I would need a table style for that. But when I try to add one, I get: "The data grid table styles collection already contains a table style with the same mapping name." ...Show All

• Visual C# handling relationships in oledb

  Hey, Lets say I have a simple database like: [Table1] ID (primary key) Name Phone [Table2] ID (primary key) Date (primary key) Text and I set a relationship in Access between the ID fields of both tables in a one-to-many relation from Table1 to Table2. How can I take advantage of this relation in my c# code For example, given only one ID, I can get access to both Table1 and Table2 fields Thanks unfortunately this is the way of doing so I believe. It's pretty simple to create a relationship in a dataset. Take a look at the datarelation class: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.datarelation.aspx Does this sound like what you are after to "take advantage" of the relatio ...Show All

• SQL Server Migrating a db from SSE 2005 December CTP to SSE 2005 Release Version

  I have a developer who built an application using the SSE 2005 December CTP and I would like to bring the db's into the official SSE 2005 released version. I have attempted the following: 1. Create the db's in the released version, detach and re-attach the CTP db's. I got an error telling me they were incompatible. 2. Installed CTP version on one server, backed up the db's and then attempted to restore the db's on another server running the official released version of SSE 2005. Got an error attempting that too. 3. Installed the Management Studio for SS 2005 Developer edition thinking that I could connect to the two seperate instances of each server and like I could in EM 2000 run the transfer wizard to move the db's and data from ...Show All
