• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Indexing

  1) Most of our PK's are non-clustered. In this case when should we go for a clustered index. 2) Apart from Primary Keys which are indexed by default, I am going for single column indexes for foreign keys & other columns which are involved in WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING & ORDER BY. 3) When is a covered index good to have i.e. a composite index on entire select list. 4) When should we go for a index on HERE, GROUP BY, HAVING or ORDER BY columns followed by select list columns. 5) Are functional indexes allowed in SQL Server i.e. when column is in function like ABS/MAX etc. If so, what is the DDL 6) When data has been encrypted and we decrypt while selecting, how to make sure that index gets picked. ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I use a data field returned from my report as part of the URL address?

  I am familiar with the navigation hyperlink action of "Jump to URL" but I cant get it to use the data returned in the report as part of the URL address. When I enter the Url into the expression editor: ="http://internal.company.address/sys1/sys2/caseEdit.pl case="&"Fields!CaseID.Value" it opens an explorer window but it echos the address and tries to use the text 'Fields!CaseID.Value' instead of the data returned in that field. Can this be done =" http://internal.company.address/sys1/sys2/caseEdit.pl case= " & Fields!CaseID.Value ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Error on app install: Unable to retrieve handheld serial number. ROM Version: unknown

  I am trying to test an application using the Windows Mobile Emulator. When I try to install the application I get the error message "Error on app install: Unable to retrieve handheld serial number. ROM Version: unknown". Anyone have any ideas how to set the serial number on the virtual device The application in question is the Good Technology's email/calendar sync tool. The goal is to have it running on the virtual device for training. You can't run device images in emulator. Emulator can only run special image created especially for it. If technical impossibility is not enough, it would most likely constitute a copyright violation, which also might result from forcing installation of 3rd party ...Show All

• Visual C# How to get a variable from another form?

  I have form 1 that receives 2 strings from the user.  When they hit the accept button this form is destroyed and I need form 2 to have the 2 string variables. As an example on form 1 I have public string FirstName public string LastName on form2 I thought I would make a method something like Form1.GetFirstName.  But this doesnt seem to be working.  Any idea or direction you might be able to point me  Edit+   Ok I think I found out how to do it.  I made the 2 variables on form 1 static and this seemed to work. Im not sure if this is a clean way of doing it though, if anyone could giveme some insight. Your description of problem looks like Form1 is working l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Assign NUM 5 to Macro?

  Hi, In VS2005, I would like to assign a macro to the number 5 key on the numberic keypad: Num 5 (for use when the numlock is not engaged). It seems that I can not get VS to recognize the key assignment. I even tried to modify the settings xml and import it - to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions -Marc- Both VC6 and VS2003 used to support Ctrl+Clear. In VS2003 the shortcut reads "Ctrl+", but it still works. Starting with VS2005 it stopped working completely. I reported it as a bug during the Beta, but didn't make clear that the problem is with NumLock turned OFF. The bug was closed as fixed and I didn't have a chance to verify it until switching to VS2005 recently. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need help parsing tab delimited text file

  I have a tab delimited text file that has a tab as the first character of each row. In other words there is a nice neat space at the beginning of each row. I am looking for ways to remove the space but cannot find a way to go about it. I found the textfieldparser and am using it to read each line and am, in tern, writing the line to a new text file using the file system object writealltext and adding a couple of fields at the end of each line. I am new to coding in general. Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. you could read the line and do a trim() on the line, this would remove all spaces from the start of the string and the end of the string and should get rid of the tab spac ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Default Values of Parameter

  I have a report parameter that will either have 1 value to pick from, or multiple values to pick from depending on who is logged in. I want to be able to set the default value to the first result that is returned in the dataset. Is there a simple way to do this without making a new dataset Hi, you either need a new dataset or a static value for the default property. You can’t use the dataset as a expression to get the first value of the dataset. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the .X file limbs equivalent

  Please take it easy on me, I'm new to XNA and DirectX in general. In previous applications I would model say two boxes in Caligari GameSpace and join these as a sibling. After I save this as a .x file, I could access each box as a limb of the main model. Doing a count for limbs would return 3, 0 being the model as a whole, 1 being one box, and 2 being the other. Looking through the docs, I'm unable to put my finger on the equivalent in XNA. I do see a model class and mesh classes seem to be under this. Is this the same as limb 0 = the main model of the object, and then two meshes under the model that represent the two boxes Sorry if this makes no sense or if it has been asked previously. I really did try to search these forums for this ...Show All

• SQL Server Building a report-dashboard in WSS 3.0 integrated mode

  I have a page with three Web parts; 1. Filter Web Part that uses a BDC-driven list of clients 2. Part showing RDL's from a doclib 3. Report viewer Web Part I can use the Filter part to supply a parameter value to 3. when I select an RDL manually, I can set the Viewer connections to get the Report Definition from 2. But I can't get both options to work at the same time. The reports in 2. all have the same Parameter so there shouldn't really be a problem. Looking forward to any suggestions or a way to provide feedback on the CTP (RS SharePoint Addin). TIA. Ed Hi, I am working on sharepoint 2007 integration with reporting service 2005.
