• Visual Basic Multiple Answers

  i have a quiz dealing with countries and their capital cities, in a multpile choice quiz format. i have the right answer coming up fine, and i can fill the other options with the wrong answers. In some cases the choices text comes up in more than one box say, a = london, b = paris, c = berlin and d = paris. Go to the next question and it's fine for a while and then does the same thing again. How can i resolve this problem Once More Thanks from Zeldacat The problem is that each time you load a wrong answer you're picking from the same batch of answers and this batch contains both the wrong answers you've already picked and, I'd assume, the correct answer as well.

• Visual C# Visual C# generating dataset from schema?

  <<turning this into a comment:  I now understand that the dataset generates a schema from the table descriptions.  I still don't know the answer to the questions below but will leave them be -allen>> ... I added an XML Schema to the project and populated it.  The doc I found said that with the schema editor open, the schema-menu would have a "Generate Dataset" pick to generate one from the schema Q1: Mine doesn't...or at least I can't find it anywhere. Q2: If I add a dataset to the project, an XSD file shows up, but I can't seem to get to the schema editor from it...I just get the dataset editor.  So I still cant get my schema into the dataset!

• SQL Server Hidden Cascading parameters error with postback/refresh?

  Hi I have a report with a few cascading parameters. In my code I pass the value of the parameter to the report and set the flag to hide the parameter to true (isAdministrator). ReportParameter dataEntity = new ReportParameter ( "DataEntity" , "1", !isAdministrator); Report.SetParameters( new ReportParameter [] { dataEntity } ); This works fine but as soon as I change any of the parameters the control viewer refreshes and loses my default value of the hidden parameter and sets it to the default I have set on the report when I designed it. If I do not hide the "DataEntity" parameter the refresh works fine. I need to hide this parameter or disable it so that the user ...Show All

• .NET Development Copying files over a network - best way?

  Okay, here goes... Machine A and Machine B are on the same LAN. There's a file, or more a series of files, in different formats on Machine A. On Machine B there is a Card Reader or USB type storage area. On Machine B, there is a .NET Application, not sure yet if it's going to be a smart or thin client. The job of the .NET App is to copy a file from Machine A to Machine B. Also, it would be nice if it showed a progress bar of the file coming across. I'm relatively new to .NET - any tips or ideas on the best way to go about doing something like this Mods - not sure if this is the correct area to post this thread in - please move if necessary If folders from which the files have to be co ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista TIP Txn resolution (*ONLY* failed to notify)

  Hi, It appears that DTC is not fulfilling its end of the bargain when it acts as coordinator in a distributed TIP transaction. I deliberately killed my Transaction Manager after it had successfully returned a PREPARED response to the DTC. I then pulled the plug (literally) on the network connection. After bringing my TM back up, it began waiting t3$tip_unresolved_search_detent seconds between attempts to obtain the outcome of the txn from DTC. I then restored the network connection, and to my astonishment, DTC just sat there content that my loyal Resource Managers (Rdb) were enforcing the ACID properties of a true 2PC and locking all affected rows. After some many minutes of inaction, a net stop/start msdtc was able to force a com ...Show All

• SQL Server Is this SSAS bug fixed in SP2 ?

  Can someone with the SP2 beta installed try the following and tell us if the formatting bug has been fixed (using the provided Adventure Works DB) with member [Measures].[DP] as [Measures].[Reseller Order Quantity] / 1000000000 select [Measures].[DP] on 0, [Reseller].[Business Type]. members on 1 from [Adventure Works] On SSAS 2005 SP1, I get scientific notation for the 2nd and 3rd rows returned by the query (as in 2.2076 E-05 ) This is a major issue for us as we tend to run SSAS queries from SQL Server using OPENQUERY.
