  I create a resource bitmap as bmp. I can not assign this resource bmp to a Bitmap variable. What I would like to do is change or swap between two bmps every second in a picturebox image. thanks in advance for your help and time, Edward ok the problem was that the image was not embedded as a resource.

• SQL Server SSRS 2005 Exporting a report to .xls containing a subreport

  Does SSRS 2005 have the issue fixed as to when the user exports a report to .xls format and the report contains a subreport In SSRS 2000, if there was a subreport in the main report, and the user exported the report to .xls, then it would just display an error message. Thanks! So, basically, in 2005, the .xls format export still does NOT work for the subreport It works with Crystal Reports XI, but I'd rather stay with SRSS.....oh well...bummer. Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server query engine error

  Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error when I try to view my report: Query Engine Error: '21000:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Sever] Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=,>,>= or when the subquery is used as an This is a problem in the SQL-query. Like the error says, the query has a subquery that returns multiple values (more than one row and column). Subqueries like that can't be in the column list or after the listed operators. Make sure that the subquery returns only one value. For example, next query won't work, as the subquery would return many rows (assuming there are many rows in the Suppliers-table): SELECT Pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions View source code!!!

  Hey, how can i view the source code on a webbrowser ok. 1) did you navigate to a webpage first in the webbrowser Me.theWebBrowserControl.Navigate(" http://www.microsoft.com ") 2) did you do this to display the code in a textbox after the page was loaded Me.theTextBox.Text = Me.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText   remember, you have to wait until the contents of the webpage have been loaded in order for you to view the source/code of that site otherwise you will get nothing, as you currently maybe experiencing.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies text is not formatted correctly in MOSS 2007 survey

  Hello. We are using MOSS 2007 surveys, but we have found that if a question holds linebreaks, the breaks (newline) will not show on the question. It will show if i would edit the question, but not when a user responds to the survey. It seems to me that this is kinda weird, that a survey can't take new lines. It seems that the line feeds are save in the database, linefeed are converted to \n\r, which would be line feed and carriage return, so it should be there. Does anybody have a solution to the problem. Mats Months ago when I hit this same issue, our MOSS experts told me that I should use InfoPath Forms instead. They suggested that is the direction Microsoft prefers. If so, why ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Simple arithmetics in XAML

  Hi everybody. I am wondering, if there is an easy method to use simple arithmetics in XAML without the need to go into code-behind for every simple calculation. I.e. I would like to write things like this: Width = " {TemplateBinding ActualWidth} *1.1 " or Margin = " - {TemplateBinding ActualWidth} *0.1/2 , - {TemplateBinding ActualHeight} *0.1/2 , 0, 0 " Is this possible in some way Thanks, Michael. Thank you very much for this mighty converter. This is a very useful extension for XAML design! I had to change a bit in order to make the number styles consistent, but now it works very well; including the margin code. The changes to the Convert method are as follows: us ...Show All
