• Visual C# Group by time period which spans two dates!!! HELP

  Lets see if some of you RS Gurus can help me on this. I have a start_time column that returns the date and time. I have converted these out to return the date for one column and the time (24 hours) in another column. I have a report that I need to group by a 24 hour period that starts at 20:00(8pm) and should end again 24 hours later (20:00) 8pm. This should be my time period for each day. The problem is that when I group for each day it is returning the results for the day on a default 00:00 to 00:00 time period. I need to group for each day but I need that days time to be from 8pm to the following 8 pm. If someone could clue me in on this I would be forever greatful. I don't know how to get past the default times for the date groupin ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Deleted items still showing up

  How do I get deleted items (email inbox, deleted items, sent items, etc.) to stop showing up in the search results. For example, I recently deleted a file from my inbox.

• .NET Development Need some advice on how to approach this problem (web service calling C# application methods)

  Hi everyone, I've been working on a solution to this project I was assigned, and after working on it for a couple days I thought maybe I was approaching it the wrong way. Basically what I need to do is to get a web service to access an a method or two on a locally running C# Windows application (Like for example have the web service send a string to an int method on the C# application). The way I have approached it thus far is by having the application register itself with the ROT, and then attempting to grab it via Monikers, etc. I've moved along pretty far with it thus far, but then thought that it could possibly be easier by creating a COM server/client type thing, with the C# application being the server and the web service being a "te ...Show All

• SQL Server Running XMLA from a transact SQL script

  Can someone tellme if I can run an XMLA statement from a transact SQL function like OPENQUERY For example: OPENQUERY(SSAS_LINKED SERVER , '<Backup> <Object> <DatabaseID>SSAS_DATABASE</DatabaseID> </Object> <File>C:\SSAS_BACKUP_FILE.abf</File> </Backup>' ) I want to use a method like this to backup SSAS databases with a dynamically generated filename that contains the date of the backup. I would prefer not to use ASCMD as it is a bit harder to track the success of the backup, and opens up some security issues as you need to use command shell calls.

• Smart Device Development Shift F5: need to dispose of resource from VS stop. Where?

  I've overridden form's OnClosing to dispose of barcode scanner object .. and it works fine when I close my form with the X button on the device.. however if I hit shift F5 (stop button) in VS2005 the application won't close and crashes the device because I haven't disposed of the scanner object.. Anyway I've tried disposing of it in dispose and other ideas but I cannot get it to call any code to dispose of my object when I end the program through visual studio (which crashes my device and is annoying).. how can I make it run this code when I click stop or press shift + F5 in visual studio. // code to dispose of Symbol's scanner object...
